Every family is different
My professional experience working with children with special needs taught me patience, flexibility, compassion, and the importance of understanding that every person and family has different needs.
Hi, I’m Kristin
Care that reminds you you’re not alone.
I’m a 40-year-old mom of three and a professionally trained postpartum doula. I became a mom at a young age and remember feeling like I was figuring everything out as I went.
As a mom of three who has experienced the highs and lows of postpartum life, I understand how joyful and overwhelming the journey can feel. I became a doula to help mothers feel seen, supported, and cared for during this beautiful transition. My goal is to nurture families with compassionate, hands-on support so no mom has to feel like she’s doing it all alone.
The perspective I bring
I know the early days can hold so much.
Motherhood has taken me through many different seasons. With children who are 20, 12, and 10, I’ve experienced the newborn stage, sleepless nights, breastfeeding, bottle feeding, the emotional roller coaster of postpartum, and the many changes that come with raising children.
I have also experienced postpartum depression and struggled with breastfeeding myself. Those experiences have stayed with me and shaped the kind of support I want to provide to other mothers.
Training and experience
Knowledge, experience, and a heart for this work.
I’m a professionally trained postpartum doula with a year of training and experience, bringing both my knowledge and my experience as a mom of three to the families I support.
Long before doing this professionally, I was the go-to support person for friends as they navigated pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum life. Supporting mothers and helping families feel confident, cared for, and never alone has always been close to my heart.
An open, honest space
No topic is off limits. No judgment here.
My approach is warm, hands-on, and judgment-free. I want families to feel comfortable being completely themselves around me, whether that means asking questions, talking through difficult emotions, or simply taking a much-needed nap while I care for their little one. I meet families where they are, without expectations or judgment, and focus on what they need most in that moment.
I know that no two families are alike and my goal is to make the transition into parenthood feel a little less overwhelming by offering practical help, emotional reassurance, and a safe space for parents to find their footing and build confidence.
How I show up
Practical help, steady company, and room to breathe.
Care can be hands-on
That might mean helping you understand your baby’s cues, offering newborn-care guidance, finding routines that work for your family, preparing a meal, folding laundry, doing dishes, or holding the baby while you shower or rest.
Your goals lead
Your postpartum experience should be about your family—not someone else’s expectations. My job is to support your goals, help you feel informed and confident, and remind you that there is more than one right way to do this.

Based in Kingston, NH. Here for the early days.
I believe new parents deserve just as much care as their precious babies. You should not have to recover, learn how to care for a newborn, navigate feeding, and adjust to an entirely new life while feeling like you have to do it all alone.
I know what it feels like to be that mom. My hope is to be the person I wish I had back then—the person sitting beside you saying, “You’re doing okay. You’re not alone. I’ve got you.”
