Meet Kristin

Hello and welcome to Kind Birth Services. I have had the genuine privilege of providing both Doula support and Childbirth Preparation since 1998, coming up on 28 years. My journey began following the births of my own two children; I was inspired both by the power of my own body, and by the expert care of the midwives, educators, and other supportive providers and partners throughout that transformative experience. As I have provided education for thousands of families and attended hundreds upon hundreds of births, learning from updated science, and all those experiences, as well as continuing to become more educated on new techniques, like spinning babies, I feel like I have more to offer now than ever before! My husband and I have been married since 1992, and have two amazing adult children, Our daughter, Hanna and her husband James are parents to two more amazing souls, she is also a dedicated and wonderful para-educator. Our son, Ethan, is a recent Grad from Western in Physics/Math/Astronomy, and (joyfully, as they all seem to) works at Trader Joe’s. We are also very happy dog parents to our newest little one, Fern.

My hobbies include being the best Nana I can be, playing the ukulele and the banjolele (and currently working on learning to play the tenor guitar), hiking, walking, spending time with our families and our dear friends, drinking coffee, gardening, teaching swimming, sitting by a fire, and playing with Fernie.
