About
Welcome! Growing your family today is no joke. My goal is to build your confidence and provide relief so that you feel better when my visit ends.
I’m Kathleen Stern—mom of two, a certified postpartum and birth doula, and IBCLC candidate (sitting for my exam in April). I’ve worked with hundreds of families and believe each parent and baby is unique.
Testimonials
“Kathleen was indispensable and helped us become a happier and more confident little threesome. She was a kind ear for all our panicked, sleep-deprived questions, and a vital resource, helping us troubleshoot breastfeeding issues and providing referrals to therapists, as well as being a genuine pleasure to have around.”
Alice
“Kathleen empowered me to feel more confident about caring for my baby. Kathleen helped me to trust my instincts, and as a result, I spend less time worrying and more time enjoying being a mother.”
