Mama Earth Birth & Baby Services

Mamaearth Birth & Baby Services was created to help women know they have options and to ensure they have the best birth experience possible!

I began my journey as a birth doula in 2012 after the birth of my first son. Going through labor I had a doula to help my husband and I have the best birth possible. A few months later I realized that I had a strong desire to encourage women and their partners during pregnancy and birth and decided to take my first step towards doula training by enrolling in Penny Simkin's Allied Birth Vocations workshop at Bastyr University. Since then I have partaken in many continuing education classes and workshops and have apprenticed with Patti Ramos.

*** Why don’t “natural induction methods” always work? ****

Because most of them aren’t meant to actually start labor — they’re more about supporting your body as it prepares for the big day.

Sometimes trying all the tricks can feel exhausting, discouraging, or even make you question if your body is “doing what it’s supposed to.” But here’s the truth:

💡 Your baby and your body are in constant conversation. They are working together, and they’ll choose the perfect time for labor to begin.

So if you’re waiting (sometimes not-so-patiently 😅), know that your body isn’t behind — it’s preparing. Trust the process, rest when you can, and remember that “doing nothing” is actually doing a lot. 🌊

Hi, I’m Katie 👋

Doula • Birth Photographer • Boy mom x3 • Coffee + tincture enthusiast 🌿☕️

I’ve had the honor of supporting around 400 births (give or take 😅) and each one reminds me how powerful, sacred, and transformative this work truly is. Birth still amazes me, and I’m grateful every time a family welcomes me into their story.

This year, I finally stepped into birth photography (took me long enough 😬) and it’s been such a beautiful (and super fun) addition to my work as a doula. To celebrate, I’m offering free birth photography through the end of the year 📸✨

When I’m not at a birth, you can usually find me with a cold brew in hand ☕️, tinkering with tinctures , or tending my medicinal herb garden (except I really didn’t do much at all with that this year- my husband did ALL THAT WORK! ** shout out to Tyrelle for making that happen!!!) And of course—soaking up life with my three boys 💛💛💛, husband 💍, and 2 cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈

If we haven’t met yet, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

Ever feel like your brain is lagging like… 24/7?

You stare at the pile of laundry. You open IG. You walk in a room and forget why you’re there… 🫠

Entering the chat: MILKY OATS TINCTURE

She’s like an herbal breath of fresh air. A tall glass of water. A jump in a cold lake on a scorching day. 💧🌱

Milky Oats is like a balm for your nervous system, softening the rough edges of burn out, lifting the fog enough for you to remember YOU again. (Note to new parents)

Will it do your laundry? No
But it might help you feel calm enough to care that it’s been sitting on your sofa since last week. 😅

If you’re feeling depleted, scattered, anxious, or feeling just DONE, this little plant ally is such a beautiful place to START.

To start feeling like you again.

Feeling better doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Sometimes it’s just enough to help you get onto your healing journey.

Milky Oats- the nervous system exhale.

Grown with tenderness. Made with love. And a doula who is determined to scream its benefits from the rooftops.

I walked into my last overnight with a couple I’ve had the absolute privilege of supporting not just as their postpartum doula, but also as their birth doula. 🌙✨

Since spring, I’ve been slowly expanding my offerings to include birth photography—and there it was, sitting on their kitchen table: a printed photo I captured during their birth.

Something about seeing that moment honored in their home stopped me in my tracks. This work is sacred. These moments are real. And being trusted to witness and hold space in so many ways… it never stops humbling me.

As the light is the early morning shines through,
She moves through another wave.
Eyes soft, shoulders heavy.
The quiet strength of labor unfolding.

He walks with her- IV in hand, heart wide open.
There’s no script for these moments,
Just presence, love, and the steady rhythm of birth.

This is the in-between.
Where time slows, breath deepens,
And everything begins to change.

Overnights are tough. They aren’t for everyone. But it’s what’s best for my family, as I can be at home during the day.

I don’t always do overnights. I swing back and forth from doing births, to postpartum. Both have their benefits. Both have their cons.

I’ve been deep in overnights since May and I only have 7 more and then I’ll be on vacation for the rest of the summer!

If you’ve worked overnights as a doula or any other job, how did you push through? How did you take care of yourself? What was essential to you in sustaining that work?

📆JUNE PHOTO DUMP📸

I’ve never done one of these before and now think I need to go back to taking aesthetically pleasing photo with my iPhone (I having been taking as many phone pictures since I got my camera) if I’m going to do this in the future.

We celebrated TWO birthdays to 2 very important men in my life. Ronin turned 11 on the 8th and Tyrelle turned 41 on the 27th.

We enjoyed 2 tournament weekends (1 for Aurum and 1 for Ronin). Ronin scored 2 goals! 1 was called back for offsides but we are still saying 2 🤣.

Ronin is now asking his big bro for hair help. And Aurum started swim lessons!

I’m officially off call from births until September and am in the middle of finishing 25 overnights, all while trying to get work outs in.

Tyrelle took out our old dishwasher and did some major temporary remodeling (so grateful for him just jumping in and handling it!)

Looking forward to wrapping up work so I can just relax (is there such a thing as that with 3 boys?) with my family!

🔥 Birth Doula Testimonial!!! 🎇

Some more they had to say:

* she helped us get a nap 😴
* When we woke up she coached me through positions and breathing to bring the contractions back 🧘‍♀️
* Provided a plan to keep me comfortable 🚿
* Helped me know when to rest and when to lean into the process 🏋🏽‍♀️

06/17/2025

For the rest of 2025, I’m offering free birth photography to my doula clients with due dates in September through December.

Birth is a blur. It moves fast. But in the stillness of a photo, you get to hold on to what was true in the moment—your power, your softness, the way love filled the room.

No posing. No pressure. Just quiet, honest documentation of one of the most meaningful days of your life.

If you’re due this fall and want your birth story told gently and beautifully, I’d be honored to be there.
