Katherine Blanco: Holistic Doula Care & Birth Support

Words cannot express our gratitude, appreciation, knowledge, support and love that Katherine gave us throughout my/our pregnancy journey. Not only was she the perfect doula, she became a friend. She is SO caring, passionate, respectful and professional. I would highly recommend Katherine!Thank you Katherine for being such an amazing support system to me, Colin, Kaleo and my family. I know I wasn't in the most typical situations at times and with all the things that came up during my pregnancy, you were always the stable one I could count on. Thank you for all that you did for us and for many other women!Lots of love,Nadia, Colin + Kaleo :)

The best decision we made during our pregnancy was to work with Katherine! We're a couple that like to be informed and Katherine has a wealth of information on all things pre- and postpartum. This was especially valuable to us during delivery when we had already discussed any issues that came to the fore. Katherines kindness and positive energy throughout our journey is something we will always remember, cherish, and be grateful for. ***5 Stars***

Katherine was the most incredible support for my fiancé and I in the birth of our daughter. Bring our first child, we weren’t sure what to expect. Katherine educated us on all our labour and delivery options so that together we could create our ideal birth experience. Katherine made sure everything about our experience was what we hoped for, setting the room at the hospital to be a calm, soothing environment. Our whole experience was magical. Our daughter came into this world happy and to a room full of love! I would highly recommend Katherine as a birth and postpartum doula.

I had my baby at the beginning of the pandemic. My family was coming for the birth, but their flights got canceled. That was when I decided to get a doula to support my husband and me during our home birth. I talked to my yoga teacher, and she recommended Katherine. I was almost 36 weeks pregnant when we met Katherine, but we knew she was the one.My baby decided to come a week after that. Even though we didn’t have the time to establish a deeper connection with Katherine, she was very friendly, sweet, and funny (which made us feel relaxed and calm). She was always checking in on us.My water broke before my contractions had started, for this reason I had to go to the hospital. The OB on duty at BC Women’s Hospital advised me to stay at the hospital for an induction because of the risks of an infection. I decided to go home. And after that, it was three days of waiting at home for my contractions to start.Katherine supported my decision and, she gave me great confidence, reassuring my body and my baby knew best. Her advice was always informed and thoughtful.Once I went into active labour, after the long wait and the long delivery, Katherine help me to work through the waves, giving me the strength and energy to keep going until my baby was born. I’m very grateful for having her as my doula for my home birth.Katherine was empowering, caring, and a calming presence in our postpartum experience as well.We would highly recommend Katherine as a Doula for anyone wanting lovely energy and wonderful support, information, and guidance at your birth.
