About Me

IMG_6568.jpg

Hey, I'm Kristi (she/her)! I am a Certified Birth + Postpartum Doula in Kelowna, BC. I am an uninvited guest on the beautiful and diverse unceded traditional territory of the Syilx Okanagan people.

 

I am a mama to two young boys who keep me busy and am married to my best friend. I was drawn to birth work after my first birth which involved complicated labor and delivery, as well as undiagnosed Postpartum Depression. I always knew I was meant to be a mom, but I felt overwhelmed by the transition. I was smiling for others while silently struggling. I quickly realized how little support is in place for new parents, and how much more support is needed during such a pivotal time.

I am a Registered Social Worker and have worked as a Counsellor with youth and families for the past ten years in addressing trauma, mental health, and addictions. This work, my passion for supporting others, and my experience with becoming a parent led me to become a doula. I believe that maternal mental health is a priority and that you deserve to experience the joy of pregnancy + parenthood with your wellness in mind. As a doula, my goal is to provide you with the support you desire through pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester to leave you feeling empowered and confident. 

Being welcomed into anyone's birth or postpartum space is an immense privilege. I am passionate about supporting all people on their journey to parenthood. With my professional background, I specialize in supporting parents with previous trauma (birth or other), history of pregnancy loss, previous operative births, or existing mental health challenges to provide them with a new chapter where they feel empowered and healthy. All folks are welcome in my work. 

Thanks for being here, and I'd love to be a part of your story!

I can't speak highly enough of our experience with Kristi as our doula. As someone who experienced a traumatic birth in my first birthing experience, it was paramount to find someone to support us in our second birth that could help us advocate, create a safe environment and help us achieve our redemptive birth; and Kristi did just that.

From the moment we met her, she was kind and compassionate, gave us evidence when we requested it and love when we needed it. I feel that she truly was the difference between births, and with Kristi as a part of our team I left feeling empowered, cared for and with autonomy and agency.

Kristi went above and beyond to make us feel supported. After the birth of our so we had an unexpected hospital stay where she tirelessly showed up and supported us, brought food, walked us through our experience and counselled us in such a kind and gentle way. Months later she still feels an integral part of our parenting journey. She's more than I could've ever expected. We are forever indebted to Kristi and are so thankful for her

 As a first time mom, I didn't know what to expect from a doula and Kristi proved to be the best money ever spent to help give me the most amazing birth!

Her prenatal appointments were always so professional and she showed how intuitive she was to mine and my husbands wishes for the birth. She made us feel safe and cared for every step of the way and helped support my husband during the birth so that he could be there for me.

Her knowledge of different positions during the birthing process helped to move things along when it easily could have turned more complicated and I owe it to her that I was able to avoid unnecessary interventions such as an episiotomy.

She has also provided tremendous post partum support for our new family of 3 and I always feel like I can reach out if I need anything.

I could not imagine not having her there for any future births and I'm telling all my pregnant friends! Thanks for helping me with my dream birth Kristi!
