Their Words, My Why

★★★★★

"Katie was amazing! Katie is very patient, kind, easy to talk too, warm and inviting. She always visits with a smile and has a happy positive energy about her. Katie is knowledgeable about the body and encourages many great positions to ease the contractions through labor. Katie cared about my vision for my birth and did really well to help me achieve that vision! She tended to me through all of labor!! She spends quality time with you before and after birth! I loved being able to practice different positions and muscle releases before birth with Katie, so I could know very well what to do doing labor and how to prepare for labor. We love Katie and could feel she really cared about us! We definitely will be asking for her love, support, care, and direction for our next birth!"

"I After my first doula unexpectedly couldn't be my doula any more, Katie quickly stepped up and offered her services after I was referred to her. She brought such a passionate, positive, and encouraging energy to my birth journey. I had done a lot of learning and practice on my own, and she was the calm and constant encouragement I needed through every stage reminding me that I was prepared and capable."

"Katie is the Doula I didn't know I needed! My midwife recommended her to me for my homebirth. Kaite and I instantly connected. From her Foot Zones to counter pressure, Katie's support helped lead me into a transformative birth. The prenatal workbook she provided was also a great resource to my husband and I to prepare for our baby's birth."

- Kayleigh

"Katie is seriously the best! I had never had a foot zone before, and she walked me through the process beautifully! She is so intuitive and radiates such love and joy! We had a great time she is easy to talk to and creates a judgement free zone to truly work through your session. She is knowledgeable in her work, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!"

- Joelle

"I have only had a few foot zones in my life but Katie is by far the best. Very intuitive and awesome to talk too. She pin pointed several issues I have had and I felt very happy and uplifted for days after our session!! She’s amazing!!!"

"First time foot zoned tonight! Katie is amazing, she made me feel comfortable and she is so easy to talk to, she really knows what she’s doing every time she felt a certain energy it was connected to something in my life! It was pretty cool tbh. I am hoping to keep up on what I learned from her to encourage balance and healing in my life."

- Kim

"I cannot recommend Katie highly enough! From the very beginning, she provided incredible support, education, and guidance that truly helped me feel prepared and empowered for my birth. She took the time to understand my needs, answer all my questions, and ensure I felt confident every step of the way.

During labor, Katie was an absolute rock. She was kind, caring, and completely attuned to what I needed, offering both emotional and physical support that made all the difference. Her calming presence and encouragement helped me stay focused, and I felt so cared for throughout the entire experience.

If you’re looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to your well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Katie. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side!"

"Katie is amazing! From the moment we met her, it was apparent not only how much she cares about her work as a doula but also how much she cared for us and making our experience be the very best in could be! After having experienced a fairly traumatizing birth of our first born, I was anxious as we prepared for the birth of our second baby. Katie was able to give me the tools and support I needed before birth to regain my confidence and feel excited and prepared to experience a peaceful birth. While in labor she was invaluable! She was key in helping me to stay calm, focused and have the birth I have always dreamed of. I could not have done it without her. My husband was also able to have the experience that he has always hoped for, as Katie was able to coach him and switch off giving counter pressure, so that he could be more present during the birth and be an emotional support to me. We are forever grateful to have had her as our doula through my pregnancy, labor and delivery! Cannot praise her enough!"

- Sheridan

"Katie is an amazing doula! She genuinely cares about the women and families she helps and is very knowledgeable about birth and the birthing process. She provided a lot of valuable information during information during pregnancy and gave me amazing support throughout my labor and delivery. As well as the best foot zone after! I'm so glad she was a part of my birth team!"

- Taylor

"Where to begin with Katie…She is the most wonderful, kind, and genuine person! During our prenatal visits with her, she helped me gain the confidence in my birth plan that I had been lacking. She carries this strong passionate energy that makes you want to be around her all the time! I had been building up a lot of fears for the birth, but because of Katie‘s prenatal foot zone, I was able to work through them. When the time came for my labor, Katie was my safe place. Every time I looked at her for comfort during strong surges, she fueled my energy with her powerful words and loving support. While my husband was on my right side holding my hand, I had Katie on my left side holding my other hand. I would not have wanted it any other way. Another thing, Katie’s postpartum care. Holy cow. She will never fail to check on you and she also brings a wonderful gift which includes her delicious sourdough bread! I highly recommend Katie for your Doula needs!"

- Anjali

"Katie was the first person to help me feel empowered about envisioning a beautiful, unmedicated birth for myself. I have always had a fear of giving birth in general, but knowing Katie was on my team as my doula had me looking forward to it. Her passion for everything surrounding pregnancy, labor, and birth makes her a professional advocate for the birth YOU want. Throughout my long and challenging labor, Katie remained enthusiastic and supportive, being open-minded to a variety of comfort measures (counter pressure, position changes, etc) that could help with progression. As things took a turn to needing an unexpected c-section, Katie was knowledgeable and flexible regarding our choices that we faced and always valued our changing birth plan. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to have a doula in our situation. Katie was quick to ensure I had the breastfeeding support I needed upon returning from the c-section and this allowed me a very successful start to my breastfeeding journey! I also cannot speak highly enough about her postpartum baby and mama care. It was nice to feel spoiled after the big event, as well as enjoy photos that she had taken. Katie’s care was clearly thoughtful! From the early stages of pregnancy, to the labor prep and postpartum care, I would HIGHLY recommend Granoalla for your doula services and empowered birth!"
