“Katia is an impeccable space holder. She understands this unique journey and offers not only her beautiful energy but her expertise of Ayurveda. Her abhyangas, womb massages, yoni steam and sitz baths were truly nourishing and more needed than I realized at that point in my healing. Her services were Angelic. I couldn’t wait to spend time with my doula angel each session we had together. The most magical part about my experience with Katia was her sweet connection with my baby. She had a tremendous gift.”
-Whitnai
“Katia is a light of pure love, wisdom, and knowledge. She was my Ayurvedic postpartum doula. Her presence alone was like having sunshine in our home, let alone her magnitude of skills and devotional service she brought to our family. She has a poignant way of connecting right to your heart with total empathy, warmth and spaciousness all at once. As a new mama, this is an invaluable level of support that is not easy to come by. House Cleaning, cooking, and baby help are all wonderful and necessary, but to have someone like Katia, keenly tuned into your emotional state, is a rare find and true blessing. Katia is both a deeply trained Ayurvedic practitioner as well as a doula. My husband and I felt so relaxed when receiving her support because of her ability to integrate her Ayurvedic and baby knowledge so well. Oftentimes she saw a way she could help bring more balance and peace - and she would just initiate it, almost like a quiet elf. One of the things I found overwhelming as a new mom receiving help, was having to manage my helpers and give direction. I barely had to do this with Katia. It was as if she saw and tended to my needs even before I became aware of them myself. If you have the opportunity to work with Katia, seize the moment!! She is an angel with the deepest of integrity, love, devotion and expertise.”
-Priya
“Working with Katia was a dream come true! I was able to receive support from her through every stage - preconception with Ayurvedic bodywork and womb massage, throughout pregnancy with prenatal massage and doula support, incredible birth preparation sessions, and for 6 weeks postpartum. It was an ideal plan, and Katia was phenomenal in every role. She has mastered her craft of offering bodywork, and is especially attuned to supporting women in every phase of the childbearing year. As our postpartum doula, she far exceeded our expectations of how much a doula can support the mom and family. I was also especially grateful for her care in the postpartum time. Her visits would restore and nourish me so I could continue to heal and to care for my baby. She is able to tune into exactly what is needed in each moment. I couldn't have wished for a more perfect person to be by my side during this profound year for myself and my family. I can't recommend Katia highly enough for any part (or better yet, every part!) of the birthing journey.”
-Jessica
“All Mamas deserve to experience the magical touch of Katia’s postpartum offerings. Her abhyanga massage, herbal bath, Ayurvedic food and belly-binding once a week was exactly what my postpartum mind, body & soul desired! She walked in the room with a bright vibrant energy that was refreshing & restorative, and put me at ease. Her mindful presence & intentionally delivered offerings felt supportive & nourishing, and allowed my body to melt into pleasure for the first time postpartum. Katia offered a sweet curiosity for my birth story while holding a sacred container for the raw state I was in. She truly felt like an old friend showing up to give me the tender love & healing I needed to honor myself postpartum!”
-Rebecca
‘Working with Katia during our pregnancy and postpartum was truly one of the best decisions we made. With every session post-partum she was incredibly present, knowledgeable, compassionate and helpful. Her grounded presence was a balm to me in the toughest moments, and her compassion shone brightest when I felt most overwhelmed or afraid. I am so grateful that we had her by our side during this amazing journey. It made all the difference. Our baby girl agrees, and lights up every time she sees her!’
-Darcy

TEDNING TO POSTPARTUM
“Katia is a godsend. My gratitude for the support she has provided my wife and I throughout pregnancy and postpartum is truly infinite. She is competent, grounding, and emotionally attuned. I cannot imagine what it would have been like to go through this process without her.”
-Nick
Katia was just exactly what I wished the doctor ordered! Ha! But really, I had the most beautiful experience partnering with Katia. Her Ayurvedic touch was just what I was looking for in a postpartum doula and it was very apparent she knew what she was doing. As a new mom, I felt safe in her care. I felt held and incredibly seen. She listened to not only my every need, but also my partner’s and that made this transition into parenthood that much easier. I truly am grateful to have had the privilege of having Katia be a part of such a monumental time of our lives and at this point, I don’t ever foresee me not having her be a part of any of our postpartum experiences yet to come. That being said, it is of my highest honor to recommend Katia! She is a gem beyond words!”
-Rosemarie
Receiving a postpartum closing ceremony from Katia.. i don’t even know where to begin. I feel beyond grateful for that beautiful ritual and closure to this sacred window of time. What a special special day. Thank you for holding space today and all throughout the pregnancy. You truly have helped me in more ways than you know to find my own power and voice in this time. I am forever grateful.
-Allie
“Katia was a grounding presence after the birth of my son. The weekly abhyangas were so relaxing and rejuvenating and the right amount of me time during the hectic first few months. Katia is knowledgeable, kind and a total treasure to welcome into your space during this tender time. She also gave our son his first abhyanga which has become a nightly routine. Can’t recommend her highly enough.”
