I’m Kate

I’m a mother of two & Matrescence Doula

For centuries women had village elders to support them through the portal to motherhood. In fact, the word godmother was adopted from goddess mother — a name for the women in the community who offered this support. My work aims to bring that guidance, community, and compassion back for modern mothers who are carrying so much.
