Based in Queens, NY (but a Brooklyn native for most of her life), foremost, Catherine is a mother of two boys both of whom were breastfed. She enjoys the outdoors and regularly volunteers at the a local public herb garden and studies/practices herbalism in her spare time. She loves yoga, biking, hiking and anything outdoors. She is truly a people person and loves the beautiful web of stories they all create. She believes birthing people have the right to a beautiful empowering birth experience. Birthing and parenting will look different for each person; their needs and desires should be heard.

Catherine began her career in corporate as a project manager in FinTech for 16 years. She decided that she wanted her life’s work to make more of an impact and went on to start her own yoga business for 6 years ;providing her students with tools of self awareness and fortitude. Later she transitioned into non profit work where she is currently the Director of Business Development for Adult Workforce.

Her career has centered around empowerment and becoming a doula seems a natural progression. She seeks to equip birthing people with a plan that will enable them to make educated decisions during the birthing process whatever the outcome. This will allow for them to lean into the intense beauty of birth. Being a yoga practitioner for 12 years and a teacher for 7 she additionally offers virtual pre-natal yoga and pre-natal sound meditation.
