The Village Doulas

Andrea D.

“I started thinking about hiring a night nurse or nanny before I even got pregnant again, but never in a million years did I think I would actually meet someone I felt like I could truly trust with my baby (especially after suffering severe postpartum anxiety with my first) – that was until I met with Kinsey. I immediately felt a connection with her and after chatting for a bit, knew without a doubt I could count on her to care for my baby. Not only did she have the right background, but hearing her “why” behind starting this business helped seal the deal for me. Kinsey truly has a passion for not only caring for babies, but us mamas as well. Fast forward to my meeting with Kati, and once again, the moment I met her I felt an instant trust and connection. It was within minutes that I knew I could count on her to cover for Kinsey while she was out of town. 6 weeks later, our contract was up and we decided to renew with Kinsey for an additional month. Of course, shortly after signing, our little guy decided he wanted to pretty much sleep through the night (which I also attribute to Kinsey helping with)! While this was amazing for us, it was also a little frustrating as we juuuust extended our contract. However, Kinsey made sure we were still benefitting from her services at this time. She was not only flexible when it came to days/times, but she helped me with so many projects on my to-do list that I just could never get to caring for a toddler and a newborn – and she put genuine effort and thought into the help too! Whether she was doing overnight sleep care or something else for us, she truly wanted to make sure she was helping to make this postpartum period as stress free as possible for us as a family. I truly believe that because of Kinsey (and Kati), I escaped postpartum anxiety fueled by lack of sleep this time around. I was able to truly enjoy the newborn stage as a well rested mom without feeling utterly exhausted for months on end like I did the first time around. I was able to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to actually enjoy the day with both my newborn and my 2 year old. My husband and I weren’t snapping on each other from being so tired and waking up all night with a fussy baby. While I know it is a bit of a luxury to be able to hire this kind of help, it is worth every.single.penny. Whether you already have the funds to do it or you have to make certain sacrifices to do it, I’d recommend Kinsey and her services a MILLION times over. You just can’t put a price on rest and mental health (especially during those first few months) and having someone you can truly trust to care for your baby is priceless. 10/10 would recommend Kinsey and The Village Doulas.

“We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Kinsey as our doula for both night care and occasional day sitting for our infant, and we cannot recommend her enough! From the moment we met her, it was clear how knowledgeable, caring, and professional she is. Her expertise has been invaluable, especially as first-time parents navigating the early months of parenthood. Kinsey’s presence brings an immediate sense of calm and confidence. She is incredibly attentive to our baby’s needs and offers thoughtful guidance that has truly made a difference in our daily routine. Her kindness and warmth have made her not just a caregiver but a trusted member of our little village.We’ve also had the chance to work with other members of her team, and they share the same high level of skill and compassion that Kinsey embodies. They have become such an essential part of our lives, and we are endlessly grateful for their support. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your baby with the utmost love and care, Kinsey and her team are second to none!”

“Kinsey is amazing! She was there during the hardest time during my postpartum depression and anxiety. She helped me get some sleep, self-care, build confidence in myself and help me bond with my twins. My PPD and PPA has improved and is continuing to improve with Kinsey’s support, knowledge and experience as a doula and as a nurse. Our family is so grateful and can’t recommend the village doulas enough!”

“Kinsey and Kati have been so helpful since my son was born. Both of them arrive to help in any way needed, and provide support with no feeling of judgement. Even if we aren’t sure exactly what would be helpful, they offer suggestions and jump right in.”

“Working with Kati and Kinsey was the greatest gift during my pregnancy and postpartum! I met Kati late in my pregnancy and even though we didn’t have a lot of time to plan, she met me and my husband where we were at with our birth plan and helped us imagine the birth experience we were looking for. Thanks to Kati I had a beautiful birth experience, and because of her guidance we were able to navigate challenges and unexpected situations as they came up. Postpartum I faced my biggest challenge in breast feeding, but Kati and Kinsey provided me the support and love that I needed to persevere. Because of their help I was able to meet my goals and primarily breastfeed my son. I could not recommend The Village Doulas enough! Not only are they amazing, sweet, kind souls, but they are also incredibly knowledgeable about birth, labor, postpartum and a long list of other topics that help serve moms and partners navigating the incredible experience of parenthood.”

“I’m an introvert who loves her sleep. So, you can imagine my predicament as an expectant first time mom: Invite a stranger into my home to help during the intimate postpartum period (jump scare!) OR, white knuckle the sleep deprivation alone (nightmare!). The moment I met Kinsey and The Village Doulas, my stranger danger apprehensions disappeared. First off, Kinsey’s resume was on point: Pediatric nurse, certified full-spectrum doula, lactation consultant. But what sealed the deal for me was her presence. She is confident, warm, deeply knowledgeable, but never preachy or condescending, and visibly passionate about her work. I knew absolutely nothing about newborns or breastfeeding or how to take care of my body and mental after birth. Kinsey was my spirit guide. She rooted for me at 3am my first night home from the hospital as I sobbed over a fussy baby who wouldn’t latch. She laughed with me through the bizarre cocktail of hormonal delirium, terror, and indescribable joy that is new motherhood. She showed me her secret hack for getting rid of a diaper rash. She bonded with my son like he was her own. She will forever be a part of our family. And you’d be a certified genius to invite her, or any of The Village Doulas, to be a part of yours.”
