Katie Valdrow - The Pumpkin Doula

---

Hey! My name is Katie (she/her). 

I am a birth & postpartum doula, and certified lactation counselor.

I always strive to provide evidence-based information, and to operate with the highest level of integrity and respect for the private and emotional matters related to pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and lactation. 

Reproductive health is my jam! I knew from a young age I wanted to help birthing people and their families. Moving through the transition ~ pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. 

I am a mom, wife, and cat lover. If I am not busy with my family, I am a huge nerd and gamer. 

I had my son during the pandemic. The lack of physical and emotional support, tied in with mental health issues really got to me. I was 19 and basically alone with a colicky infant. His birth was long and hard, and looking back I wish I would have had a doula! I knew in those moments that I didn't want anyone else to suffer the way I did. Postpartum mental health is very important to me. 

My goal? To support you in all the ways YOU need to feel, hear, and see that support. I got you!
