About

I am so happy you are here. My name is Catherine, and I've been supporting individuals and families across the reproductive spectrum since 2015. After years of supporting hundreds of families I can confidently say that what I believed at the beginning of my practice remains true: I trust in your innate ability to birth and to heal. I trust you. You deserve respect, and to be held in the myriad of deep transformations that occur wherever you are in your reproductive journey.Over the years I've taught prenatal & postnatal yoga, infant massage, and how folks can place their own speculums when receiving medical care. Simultaneously I've supported families throughout pregnancy, birth, and provided postpartum care for live births, loss, and abortion.Becoming a parent myself in October of 2020 affirmed personally what I had seen professionally for years; that intentional support systems and mental/emotional frameworks can and should be put into place prenatally in preparation for postpartum. Centering the well-being of birthing bodies reverberates through families and communities. It deeply informs how we relate to each other, and has the ability to orient us to the truth: that we belong to one another.When not tending to blossoming families I'm happiest being outdoors with my family, making herbal medicine, and pulling art from my natural dye pots.
