2020 update- After 10 years of serving families on the Lehigh Valley and beyond, Sidekicks is now closed due to hospitals policies from
Covid-19.
2021 update - the closure of SideKicks Doula Services is permanent- thanks for the memories! Katrina Beier and founder of SideKicks Doula Services provides experienced, personalized, trained support for pregnancy, labor, delivery, and breastfeeding. She serves all hospitals in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas, as well as midwife assisted home births. She has a wide range of experience and has even caught one client's baby that came fast! Her services have been praised by and recommended by many of the leading OBGYN practices in the area. She believes that birth is beautiful and natural and that every mother has the right be in charge of her own labor. She believes that with caring, constant, individualized, trained support, mothers can avoid many unnecessary and unwanted complications during labor and delivery. Katrina is a mother-of-3 and had her babies in hospitals with midwives. Although she chose to have natural, unmedicated births, she supports a woman's right to choose her own labor options. Statistics prove that doulas can decrease labor time, medications, and complications and can also provide encouraging breastfeeding and postpartum support. Katrina Beier is fully trained and was certified with DONA International. She has allowed her DONA certification to expire in 2016 and is re-certifying with another agency that matches her needs better.
