About Western CT Doula
Bio
Hi, I’m Kristin—a certified postpartum doula and sleep consultant here to support you through the early days of parenting. Whether you’re overwhelmed by newborn care, exhausted from sleepless nights, or just need a calm, caring guide, I’m here to help. Through hands-on and virtual support, I offer practical solutions and heartfelt care so you can feel confident, rested, and truly supported.
Q&A
Q: What are your certifications and trainings?
A: I’m a certified postpartum doula through DONA International, with additional training in Ayurvedic postpartum care (AyurvedicMamas) and pediatric sleep consulting (Center for Pediatric Sleep Management). I’m CPR/First Aid certified and committed to ongoing education each year.
Q: What locations or areas do you serve?
A: I provide in-home postpartum support to families in Western Connecticut and nearby areas. For those outside my local region, I offer virtual postpartum support and pediatric sleep consulting to families anywhere in the U.S.
Q: How much experience do you have?
A: I’ve worked with newborns and young children for over 30 years, with a background in early childhood education. I’ve been a certified postpartum doula for over 18 years, offering compassionate, experienced care to help families feel confident and supported from day one.
Q: What's your top piece of advice for an expectant mom?
A: Most expecting parents focus solely on baby gear and birth plans, but few plan for their own rest, nourishment, and emotional needs. I encourage moms to build a postpartum care plan that includes support for you—meals, sleep, healing, and someone to check in on your heart, not just your baby.
Q: What's your favorite past client story?
A: One of my favorite memories is of a toddler who named my toy-filled tote “Kristin’s yellow bag with the special games.” She looked forward to it every visit while I supported her family with a newborn. They lovingly called me “Kristin Poppins” and gifted me a Mary Poppins DVD I still treasure.
