ANN / MARCH 2024

Kassie took care of my wife when I was tapped out, and took care of me when I wasn't taking care of myself. She translated information tossed at us from the medical team and advocated for my wife's needs when necessary. She blended into the background in moments of connection and joy (surreptitiously taking beautiful photos of me holding my baby for the first time) and stepped into the foreground when the situation called for it. She holds a special place in our hearts and in our memories of the birth of our daughter. I would recommend Kassie to anyone who feels like they need a knowledgeable, realistic, hopeful teammate for the life-changing event of birth.

BIANCA / FEBRUARY 2024

Kassie brings so much kindness, compassion, knowledge, direction, and energy every step of the way. She is incredibly responsive and supportive leading up to birth, during labor and delivery, and postpartum as well. I can 100% say she made our birth experience the best possible experience, way better than I could have ever imagined.

JULIA / JANUARY 2024

My husband and I took Kassie’s class at Intuit as first time parents. We took away so much information from the course about pregnancy, giving birth, and postpartum. Kassie is compassionate, knowledgeable, and made us feel absolutely comfortable to ask our questions in class. I highly recommend it to all expecting parents.

JACLYN / NOVEMBER 2023

Kassie was everything we could have hoped for in a Doula! She is a plethora of knowledge and always had a list of recommendations for us, from what products to buy for postpartum recovery to a recommended packing list. When our baby was breech, Kassie went above and beyond and attended our ECV procedure to flip baby.

And when our induction took longer than planned, Kassie was so quick to respond to our questions, pick up the phone, and arrive by our side when the time arrived. She was a huge reason we had such a positive birth experience. Kassie was such a fun person to spend hours with and next time we have a baby, she's the first person we will call!

ANDREW / DECEMBER 2023

As the partner to the birthing person I really appreciated the detailed list of helpful items for labor, delivery, and postpartum. We needed every single thing and we’re so so grateful to have them during recovery!

I learned how to best show up and support my wife during her labor and delivery and am so beyond thankful for all of Kassie’s wonderful insights and preparation help. At one point in the delivery our Doctor literally said “oooooh I love that I’m going to use that with my patients”!

AGNES / FEBRUARY 2023

Kassie is a true professional and supported us through all stages of the birth of our second child, from prenatal to postpartum. What impressed me about Kassie is it's clear she can adapt her skills to the support whatever birth goals you might have - whether it's for an unmedicated delivery or just to feel like you owned your decisions during the birth process.

Kassie was an incredible guide and I will be recommending her to anyone who is looking for a doula.

ELLEN / DECEMBER 2023

I don’t even know where to start, because there is SO MUCH to say about our experience with Kassie. That said, we could have *never* anticipated how perfect of an experience we would have, with her help and guidance! Right off the bat, Kassie’s warm demeanor and caring attitude were so comforting. Throughout my entire labor and delivery process, Kassie was by our side and she made sure we had everything we needed before she left the hospital (and upon our return home). I will sing Kassie’s praises to anyone who will listen, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any and everyone. We love you, Kassie!

KELLY / OCTOBER 2023

Kassie was critical in helping me achieve a positive birth experience. Prior to labor and delivery, her wisdom and support helped me feel as prepared as possible for the arrival of my first child.

While in labor, Kassie was there for me every step of the way, and provided more attention than just the medical staff could. She helped me stay focused and helped my husband play an active role in supporting the process with her suggested comfort measures and reassurance along the way. I truly cannot imagine giving birth without a doula, and can’t recommend Kassie enough.

ARI / SEPTEMBER 2023

Kassie was a wonderful support for my wife and I during the entire process leading up to, during, and after the birth of our first child. She was very comfortable (you can tell that she has experience in different settings with different labor/delivery goals) and reassuring throughout labor and delivery.

She was wonderful at checking in and being supportive outside of the actual labor experience, which was really important for us, and good at talking through the experience afterwards. We would certainly recommend working with her!

NAOMI / SEPTEMBER 2023

It is hard to find words to express the role Kassie played in our birth. My husband didn't know what a doula was and didn't understand the benefit, but from our "meet and greet" with Kassie before signing our contract, we knew that she would be vital to creating a positive birth experience-and this was totally true!

She is responsive, well-educated and informed, collaborative, and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients feel empowered, informed, and not alone during what can be an overwhelming experience. We cannot recommend her enough and are forever grateful for the role she played in bringing our daughter into the world.

LINDY / AUGUST 2023

When asked about our birth experience, my husband and I tell everyone that we are truly not sure what we would have done without Kassie. And we mean every bit of that. She goes above and beyond. She helped create a calm birthing space, guided me through positioning until it was time to push, helped me make informed decisions along the way, and assisted my husband in supporting me during the entire experience.

I cannot recommend Kassie enough. She was everything we'd hoped to have in a doula through physical support, emotional support and SO much more. If you aren't sure whether you want or need a doula, more specifically Kassie as your doula, you do!!!

LEILA / FEBRUARY 2023

I have nothing but the best things to say about Kassie. She was a wealth of knowledge, positivity, and comfort every step of the way during my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. She answered any question I had, helped me make a birth plan that I felt great about, and then stepped in and eased my worries when things didn’t go according to plan. She responded to my texts/calls at all hours of the day leading up to labor whenever any issues came up (including a middle of the night trip to the hospital with high blood pressure). I had such a beautiful and positive labor/delivery experience thanks to Kassie and I’m so grateful for her.

EMILY / MAY 2023

We've used Kassie for two births now. The second time was as smooth and wonderful as the first. When my labor slowed, she was immediately ready with ideas either to speed things up again or to remind me of the "marathon" mentality and encourage me to rest. She drew on my strengths and encouraged me when I was most uncertain or anxious. I have such respect for the knowledge she brings to the room and the presence of mind she offers when my laboring mind goes off in all different directions. Now I'm superstitious about ever not birthing with her.

SARAH / FEBRUARY 2023

I can’t say this enough, if you’re pregnant book Kassie as your doula!!! My husband and I weren’t sure if we needed a doula and after speaking to a friend who had one we decided to consider it. After speaking to my OBGYN about our interest in having one, she recommended Kassie. She said that Kassie was the best there is and she was absolutely right. My pre, during, and post labor experience was great and it had almost all of it to do with having Kassie by my side. I said it in the beginning and I will keep saying it, book Kassie as your doula, you won’t regret it.

ORR & GABE / November 2022

We love Kassie so much and cannot recommend her highly enough! She brought a rich experience that was very effective in helping us make the right decisions for us.

On the day of the birth, Kassie was totally present and made a huge difference in lots of ways big and small at the hospital.

Birth is such a personal experience and Kassie really listened to what was important to us. We think anyone would be lucky to have her as their doula.

MICHELLE / OCTOBER 2021

Kassie is hands-down the most compassionate doula you can find. She exudes light and kindness, and stays calm during any scenario that might come up.

Choosing Kassie to be your birth doula is the best investment you can make - she's non-judgmental, compassionate, and supportive through all of the exciting, anxious, and/or challenging moments!

My son is now 1.5 years old, but we STILL talk about how thankful we are that we hired Kassie to be part of our birth team.

KELLY / JULY 2022

“We hired Kassie for the birth of our first baby and it was the best decision we made. Kassie went above and beyond to support us through every milestone. She was my greatest resource throughout pregnancy - very helpful, passionate, extremely knowledgeable, comforting and supportive! She was also incredibly intuitive — she seemed to know exactly what I needed and when.

We could not have made a better choice in working with her as our birth doula. If you are considering hiring her for your birth journey, don't look any further and do it now! She's quite literally the best.”

BRIDGET / FEB 2023
Kassie was an incredible support through our pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Not only is she extremely professional and a well-spoken communicator, but she is the calm, assuring presence we needed to tackle the uncertainty of pregnancy with confidence.

Kassie helped guide us through the tactical and the intangible We particularly appreciated her postpartum debrief; she helped us remember positive moments of our birth story we might have forgotten. All in all, we are deeply grateful for our time with Kassie and couldn't recommend her enough.

ELIZABETH / FEB 2023

Kassie worked with me as my birth doula, and it was an amazing, amazing experience. This was my first birth, and I'm an older mother, so having her expertise and guidance was truly life changing. She helped me understand all of the "unknowns" of the birthing process, and knew what questions to ask and how to ask them to ensure a good birthing experience. She also checked in with me multiple times post-birth to ensure I was doing ok, which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Kassie if you are considering working with a doula!

KIRA / OCT 2022

“Kassie is an unbelievably kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable doula. She was always willing to offer a listening ear, and a space to vent, cry, celebrate, etc.

She lifted all our spirits in the room, made me feel calm and cared for, and also supported my partner with such care. I highly recommend her!!!”

JAMIE / MAY 2022

“Once labor started, she guided us through the process and helped us advocate for ourselves with the hospital staff. Having her there eased the pressure on my partner to know what to do in different circumstances. This allowed him to play a constant emotional support role versus also trying to communicate with hospital staff, help move me in different positions, ask questions, etc. After hours of laboring, we found out our baby wasn’t in the ideal position for pushing, Kassie had the knowledge and experience to get me into different positions to help move the baby in the correct position for delivery.”

KATE / FEBRUARY 2022

Kassie was so good at explaining everything, going over the birthing process and what to expect of my body AND of her as my doula. I called her at 3AM with what I thought were contractions, and she was ready to roll. When it came to being in labor, Kassie was a true star. She made me and my husband feel so safe and made sure our birth plan was respected and followed, she made wonderful relationships with each of our nurses and my doctor, and she made the birth space comfortable and dare I say it, fun. She was a partner with my husband, and they were my team.

ANNA / FEBRUARY 2022

“There aren’t enough words of expression to describe what an asset Kassie was at our birth. Kassie slid into that feeling for both my spouse and I, seamlessly. It was evident she was a powerhouse of knowledge, gusto for “getting in there,” all while with so much gentleness, attentiveness and care. It was an easy immediate decision to work with Kassie. Kassie’s energy is healing, uplifting, tender. It was energy I didn’t even think I needed. Kassie is resourceful, communicative, and so much more. We undoubtedly think you need Kassie as part of your birth team!”

ANDREA / FEBRUARY 2022

“Before meeting Kassie I didn’t even know what a doula was or why it was important. I can now say I not only gained a wonderful doula to guide me through my birth but a genuine, warm friend.

From the get go I vibed with Kassie—she was organized, polite, believed in evidence-based birth practices, and was clearly very passionate about her work.

Throughout the birth and even after Kassie has made me feel cared for. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

MELISSA / JANUARY 2022

“Hiring Kassie was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. As first time parents, we had so many questions about what to expect as my due date approached, and Kassie’s knowledge and expertise gave us so much comfort during such an important time in our lives.

Since our baby was born, Kassie has been an amazing resource and is always available to answer questions that we have about postpartum and caring for a newborn. We’re thankful and proud that she played such a big role in the birth of our son.”

KATIE / AUGUST 2020

“My husband and I both feel Kassie played an absolute essential part in our birth experience. My labor was progressing very slowly before her arrival. Kassie guided me through different movements and exercises that I feel rapidly moved my labor along. Had I not been gently assisted by Kassie to get into the uncomfortable but necessary positions she recommended, I'm not sure how my labor would have turned out. She played a vital role in helping me have the birth experience I truly wanted. I cannot recommend her enough!”

KELLY / JANUARY 2022

Hiring Kassie as our doula was the best decision I've ever made after (and perhaps tied with) marrying my husband. As a first time mom, Kassie was a reassuring and knowledgeable presence every step of the way. Despite having an unexpected trauma, my husband and I credit having such a special birth experience to Kassie's care. Even after birth, Kassie has beyond helpful in navigating breastfeeding and pumping. Having her to call has saved me many, many hours of frustrated googling. In short, Kassie is the best. It seems like she was born to be a doula. Could not recommend her more highly!

LISA / NOVEMBER 2021

“We are so happy we selected Kassie to be our doula. She has a calming and warm presence that was really wonderful not just during the actual labor/delivery but in helping us feel prepared in advance. Importantly, she is a strong advocate and was not afraid to ask the nurses and staff for anything we needed, ask questions, and help us make decisions along the way. Kassie is very detail-oriented and responsive, which was very important to us. We would highly recommend her and are very glad she was there to support us!”

SOULA / OCTOBER 2021

“During the birth, I had some complications. Kassie was there to reassure me when my placenta was retained, the baby was having trouble transitioning, and I needed extra care post delivery. I texted some close friends shortly after and said "I couldn't have done this without Kassie." She never panicked, explained what was going on, and gave me context for all the procedures and interventions. I also appreciate that I never felt judged - she let me make decisions and encouraged me rather than tried to push anything on me.”

BECCA / SEPTEMBER 2021

“We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful doula as Kassie to guide us through the birth of our son. She was exactly what we needed in each moment, profoundly calm, supportive, instructive, and caring. She has a wealth of knowledge (and snacks!) and shares amply. We could not have asked for a better guide when navigating tough choices while giving birth in a hospital.

She has our trust and deepest gratitude, and anyone would be lucky to have her by their side during their birth. ”

KAT / SEPTEMBER 2021

“Let me not bury the lead here ... if you are reading this and debating hiring Kassie as your doula, do it! She is amazing and was a bright spot in my birth story. She 'normalized' so many worries I had with her easy demeanor. You can tell she is incredibly knowledgeable, but is able to relate that knowledge in a kind, compassionate, light-hearted way. Overall - 10 out of 10, would recommend! Kassie is wonderful!”

JULIE / SEPTEMBER 2021

“Hiring Kassie as our birth doula was hands down the best decision we made during the birth of our first baby! Kassie was unwaveringly positive and confident in us. I truly felt like she believed in me and it gave me the confidence I needed to have a birth without pain medication - there is no way we could have achieved that goal without her! Kassie is a completely enjoyable person to be around. She's positive, warm, and caring. We are so lucky to have found her to be our doula!”

KRISTIN / AUGUST 2021

“I am so happy I decided to have a doula for my first birth, and I am so grateful that it was Kassie. I probably never would have hired a doula if it wasn't a requirement with my provider to have one at my home birth and what a mistake that would have been. My home birth did not go as planned, in that it did not happen at home, and having Kassie through the whole ordeal was so much more essential than I ever could have thought. She went so far above and beyond what I ever expected from a doula. If I have another baby, I will definitely want Kassie there.”

ALYSSA / AUGUST 2021

“I was hesitant at first about whether we needed a doula but I am so glad we did and that we went with Kassie. I unexpectedly had to be induced at 37 weeks and my husband and I were really anxious and definitely not prepared for the birth. Kassie made sure she'd be there for us despite the short notice and really helped us through the incredibly stressful experience. I can't imagine having to go through the experience without her support.”

JENNY / JUNE 2021

“I am so grateful that our original doula chose Kassie as her back up. It was a leap of faith having someone new come in when our original doula was timed out, but we couldn't have picked a better fit ourselves. Her instincts for what support we needed were spot on, and her presence was so kind and positive. With our first doula having left Chicago, we'll go straight to Kassie when it comes time for number two. Thank you, Kassie!”

AISHA / AUGUST 2021

“Upon meeting Kassie, I instantly felt a connection. Kassie is personable, empathetic, and extremely thoughtful. I knew from day one of meeting her that we made the right choice to have her support us through labor and delivery. My husband and I are so grateful for Kassie's support and guidance during our prenatal sessions and my extremely long labor and delivery experience. Kassie went above and beyond and we highly recommend her for your family!”

IZABELA / JULY 2021

“Kassie is very approachable, easy to talk to, and definitely knowledgeable. Having her in the hospital with us was a huge help and afterwards several of the nurses commented how great our doula was. Having Kassie's help with breastfeeding and taking care of our newborn in the hours, days and weeks after the delivery was invaluable and gave me the confidence and peace of mind I otherwise would not have had. Highly recommend!”

MICHAEL / AUGUST 2021

“We managed to book Kassie and that was probably the best decision we made. She provided invaluable assistance and information before, during, and after the birth of our daughter. The day after the birth, the nurses told us how grateful they were that Kassie had been there to help out in the hours after the birth. Overall, I am extremely glad that we hired Kassie!”

AL / JUNE 2021

“I cannot say enough good things about Kassie! I had a very positive birth experience and she absolutely made that possible. We are first time parents and my wife and I both felt completely supported by her every step of the way. Kassie is also just so very kind and personable! She was an absolute delight to have in the birthing room, which ended up being filled with laughter and joy for the vast majority of the time. I recommend her without hesitation to any growing family!!

CAMERON / MARCH 2021

“I can tell you hands down Kassie will meet you exactly where you are. She created space for me, my partner and my daughter. When we saw Kassie in the waiting area our nerves eased and it was like a friend who has been through all of this before was meeting us and showing us the ropes. From her heart to her resources she is here for you and yours through and through. She will 100% be hired again if I have another baby.”

HALEY / FEBRUARY 2021

“As first time parents, my husband and I were so thankful and grateful to have Kassie by our side in the final weeks before our son's arrival and during a long and somewhat complicated delivery. Kassie is a wonderful professional (so easy to communicate with, great resources, delicious goodies for those last few weeks, but more than that, is someone who has found her calling.”

MACKENZIE / OCTOBER 2021

Hiring Kassie as our doula was the BEST decision my husband and I made throughout our pregnancy. We can’t help but think back about how different our birth experience would have been had she not been there with us. During labor Kassie was incredible!! With this being our first I was very unsure what things I could ask for or what options would be available to me. She was such an advocate for me and I truly believe we would have had a drastically different experience had she not been there. I’m so grateful for the support Kassie provided and every woman going through labor deserves to have someone like Kassie in their corner. Kassie was truly such an AMAZING support and we couldn’t recommend her enough!!

ASHLEY / NOVEMBER 2020

“Kassie was wonderful! My husband and I were very happy to have worked with her for the birth of our baby boy born in November 2020. She was open minded and encouraging and helped give me the confidence to labor at home as long as possible and go through labor and delivery at the hospital with very little medical intervention”

SARAH / JUNE 2022

Kassie is wonderful!!! You want her as your doula. My husband and I both felt immensely supported by her throughout our pregnancy, labor, and postpartum time. We don't know what we would have done without Kassie. She provided excellent care and is extremely knowledgeable. She knew exactly what I needed at different points in labor. She genuinely cares about you, your partner, and your baby. You would be lucky to have Kassie as your doula!!!

ROWAN / JUNE 2022

Kassie was such an incredible support before, during, and after the birth of our daughter. She patiently answered all of our questions, put our minds at ease when we had any concerns, and brought an amazing, calm energy to our birth. We had a beautiful, short, natural birth, and I don't think it would have been possible without Kassie; she made us feel safe and cared for. I can't imagine any part of the experience without her!

CHRISTINA / JUNE 2022

Thanks to Kassie, our baby came to us smoothly in an environment that made us feel so safe and respected. Kassie is a radiant human and one of the warmest souls to grace this earth. The birthing community is so lucky to have her, as are we.

MAGGIE / MAY 2022

Kassie was phenomenal - from our initial outreach, throughout the remainder of my pregnancy, on delivery day and more. She is a calming presence, takes the time to fully hear you, and asks such thoughtful and helpful questions! Our pregnancy was high-risk and we felt completely comfortable and confident in Kassie’s ability to care for us and our baby. We recommend Kassie wholeheartedly, and truly don’t think we would have had the experience we had without her!

KATIVA / MARCH 2022

Kassie is amazing! I recommend her to all my friends considering a doula. She was by our side for the birth of my daughter and it was so wonderful to have her on our team.

She’s calm, supportive and brought so much positive energy to a very stressful situation. She was very familiar with the hospital, able to help me advocate for my needs and checked in regularly postpartum when everything was a blur and everyone only asked about the baby. My husband really appreciated having her guidance as well. We are so grateful she was on our team as we welcomed our baby into the world!

COURTNEY / JUNE 2023

Kassie was truly a godsend throughout my entire pregnancy and birth! She helped keep me at ease and was always available when I had any questions.

We couldn’t imagine not having her during the labor and delivery of our son, she was such an asset for us!

SARAH / JUNE 2023

My husband and I cannot recommend Kassie enough as a doula - it was one of, if not the best, decisions we made as we prepared for the birth of our first child. Her calm and supportive demeanor, as well as the wealth of knowledge provided to us pre-, during-, and post-birth were invaluable to us. With her guidance, we were able to feel confident in the decisions that we were making in the delivery room in order to have a smooth birth. Initially, we were hesitant to have yet another person in the delivery room, but Kassie was so much more than "another person" and we felt supported and heard from just the first virtual meeting. Needless to say, Kassie was an absolute critical team member of our baby's birth that we will be forever grateful for. Her support doesn't stop after the birth either.

LAURA / JUNE 2023

We worked with Kassie since the very beginning of my first pregnancy and honestly I don’t know what I would’ve have done without her knowledge, kindness and wisdom.

When it came to my labor, Kassie prepared us with wonderful suggestions for birthing classes, and even came by our home in my 3rd trimester to talk through my birth preferences and offer more guidance.

My birth was magical and I attribute the confidence and calmness I had leading up to it and during it because of Kassie’s support and presence throughout my pregnancy and birth.

MEGAN / NOVEMBER 2023

Even when I didn't know the questions to ask Kassie offered amazing insights and resources. In the hospital she was a crucial part of my delivery being as easy and trauma free as it was. I have a blood disorder which made him especially nervous of complications for me. Because of this he struggled with some parts of labor and being there for me in the ways he wished he could have. Kassie was so helpful throughout everything even in helping calm my husband at times. Even now 6 weeks postpartum she still reaches out periodically to check in on me and my baby girl and is totally open to answer any questions I have being a new first time mom. If you are interested in a doula I highly recommend going with Kassie!

MARLEE / November 2023

Kassie was the perfect doula! She helped us from preparing what to expect during labor, the actual laboring process, and delivery. She was an extremely helpful resource to have all the way through. During labor, we had a few surprising moments that we could not have handled without Kassie by our side. Looking back on even the little things she did during labor and delivery, we are so grateful to have had her expertise and bedside manner to help us get through the hardest and best day of our lives. We can't imagine what our process would have been like if Kassie hadn't been a part of it. We've already told everyone we know that you not only need a doula when you give birth, but you truly need Kassie!

CLARE / MARCH 2024

Kassie really was born to do this work. I cannot say enough good things about Kassie and the vital role she played in my entire birth experience. From our first phone call getting to know each other and still now, Kassie has been absolutely amazing.

Kassie’s energy is warm, non judgemental, open and inviting. She is a wealth of knowledge. I can’t imagine my pregnancy, birth or postpartum without Kassie. I will recommend Kassie to literally EVERYONE I know who is pregnant, trying to get pregnant or 9 months in and due any day.
