Hi, I’m Kolby, a birth and postpartum doula on the Boston Area Doulas team.

I come from a big family and have always loved birth & babies. I have been working with children for the past 10 years. In college, I studied nursing (my mom is a nurse), as well as reproductive health.  As a doula, I love being able to care for babies and help families adjust to this new stage of life.  It makes me happy knowing I’m making a difference in someone’s home. Building relationships and trust with families is important to me, something I take seriously as your doula. 

Prior to becoming a doula, I worked as an overnight newborn care specialist, nanny and infant teacher– supporting babies and collaborating with parents.  

I also LOVE working with multiples– I have worked with several multiples families including twins and triplets. 

Outside of doula-ing, I love being on the beach! I love the summer and being able to be outside and in the water. When I'm not outside, I love to curl up on my couch and read a good book with my dogs and cats. 

Kolby’s advice to expecting or new parents:  Do not be afraid to ask for help! 

Childhood aspirations:  Tattoo artist & teacher 

Check out what one of Kolby’s families said about her:

 “We absolutely love Kolby, she truly was a lifesaver. We had twin boys come July 2022 and Kolby helped my husband and I adjust to life with not only one baby but two. I did have some baby blues in the beginning and Kolby helped me with whatever I needed. At night she would help with cleaning the bottles, pump parts, laundry if needed, and overall took great care of my sons. She made sure I got the sleep I needed knowing my boys were safe. In the morning she sent a detailed text of what the night looked like and I truly loved it.” -JM (mom of twins)
