Hi! I’m Kathleen (she/her), the founder of Boston Area Doulas. I am an IBCLC, certified perinatal behavioral health coach, certified birth and postpartum doula,  and founder of Boston Area Doulas. I believe all parents deserve to feel confident and supported with evidence-based and non-judgmental care. I am also currently a Partner Success Manager at FamilyWell Health, a company focused on embedding behavioral health support into OB/GYN clinics. Earlier in my career, I spent over 10 years in education as a teacher, instructional coach, and leader of educator professional development. In my down time, I love spending time with family/friends/dog, gardening, being active, listening to podcasts and getting to the beach. 

Current work with clients:

  • Newborn care classes

  • Childbirth Education classes

  • Helping families find the best fit doula

  • Lactation support
