Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, Integrative Feeding & Lactation Specialist
Caitlin always knew she'd end up in birthwork some day, but it wasn't until she attended the birth of her friend in 2016 that she realized this is where she was meant to be. After giving birth herself in 2022, she decided to learn as much as she could about all things lactation and is now an IBCLC in training. She has trained with Birth Day Presence, Manhattan Birth, Cornerstone Birthwork, and completed Babywearing for Birthworkers with Most Partum.
In her work, Caitlin always leads with an open heart, mind and listening ears. Her goal is to help you feel empowered and informed in all the decisions you make throughout your pregnancy, postpartum and feeding journey. When you work with Caitlin you will feel supported and nurtured as you prepare for birth and parenthood. Caitlin provides resources and education about all topics that come up in the process. As an RN who has worked in the hospital setting, she has insider knowledge about how to navigate choices that can support your birth goals. With respect to the postpartum period specifically, she is very knowledgeable about postpartum nourishment, bodyfeeding, and babywearing.
