About
Caitlyn is a Postpartum Doula at Birthways, Inc. Caitlyn’s passion for working with children and families is longstanding with 10 years working in the education field in addition to her doula work. As a teacher of the deaf/hard of hearing she worked with students of all ages as well as families of children 0-5, focusing on language development, mile- stones, advocacy, and parent education. She was called to explore Doula work after finishing her health coaching training and supporting a friend through pregnancy and the postpartum period, witnessing the support that families could really benefit from while navigating the medical system and new parenthood in our society, while also having the desire to call upon her experience in education and working with children and families.
In addition to being a certified postpartum doula, Caitlyn is a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Hormone Coach, and Holistic Pregnancy and Birth Practitioner. She takes a personalized approach to caring for, educating, and supporting her clients to meet them where they are, while providing evidence based care during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. She believes the postpartum period is one of the most special and important times in the parents’ and child’s lives that can set the tone for the next few months, years, and beyond. In her free time, Caitlyn enjoys spending time in nature, especially exploring places like the Morton Arboretum, visiting friends in the Pacific Northwest, trying new recipes, or spending time with her pets at home. She is honored to have the opportunity to walk alongside families to provide the care, support, and education they need to thrive.
In their own words:
“I became a doula after witnessing how personalized 1:1 care and support
can truly change the outcomes for a new family and baby. Knowing that I am
helping other tiny new humans and their family have a strong start in this
world reminds me everyday that I have the best job ever!”
What clients say:
- – “Caitlyn was so good about asking me what was helpful to me. She under-
stood that it might be holding the baby, or household, or just sitting with me,
watching tv and being in space together.” -Clare X
- – “Caitlyn is intelligent, an excellent team player, very integral, super open to feedback, emotionally mature in a way that they have open honest conversation, compassionate and authentic in her pursuits as a doula” -Betty J
