Hi! I’m Katie
................
I am excited to be your doula trainer! I've been working in Iowa as a doula since 2010 and have been training doulas since 2017. Before I was a doula, I taught in public schools across Iowa. Being a doula trainer combines my love of education and birth/postpartum support!
Past Training Experiences I've Instructed:
- HUNDREDS of doulas working in the private setting plus...
-
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Doula Initiative (Labor)
- Iowa Health & Human Services Perinatal Badge Doula Trainings (Labor & Postpartum)
- Mayo Clinic Doula Program
- Lutheran Services of Iowa
- Unity Point Health Doula Trainings for Nurses
- Henderson Behavioral Health Doula Trainings in Florida
- Trainings at Young Women's Resource Center & Ruth Harbor in Des Moines, IA
After your training, I am still available to help you in your doula career! I offer ongoing mentorship, an online doula community, and monthly office hours/co-working hours.
For more professional details, please visit my website, The Iowa Baby Lady.
If you're interested in having me present at your conference, please email me for a Speaker Packet/Curriculum Vitae. ([email protected])
If you're a fellow perinatal professional, let's connect on LinkedIn.
