Welcome to Northwest Birth Services
Hi, I'm Kirsti

As your doula, you can rely on my comprehensive training, certification, and commitment to providing emotional, physical, and informational support from pregnancy through postpartum.

My role is to offer personalized support and practical advice, ensuring parents feel confident and empowered during this critical phase of their baby's development. Whether tackling common challenges or providing tips for maintaining a healthy breastfeeding routine, my aim is to enrich the overall experience for both mother and baby.

More Details:
I am an educated specialist of the child bearing year offering emotional, informational and physical support through pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. My role as a Certified Birth Doula embodies an emphasis on birth coaching, birth education, and breastfeeding counseling.

I was certified through the International Doula Institute, and I am always taking strides to continue my education. I look forward to completing more certifications to provide more services for my clients. I have made connections within my local birth community and senior Doulas in my area of practice. I have attended a number of unique births and can offer experienced support in a wide range of circumstances. I have experience in covering for area Doulas as a reliable back up, as well.

My method  of practice includes specialization through birth planning by learning all about my clients’ philosophies so I can better serve them and honor their well-being through their uniquely personal journey.

I am stay at home mother with four children. I absolutely love cooking, going on adventures, and enjoying nature with my family! We live in a beautiful old Victorian home with lots of room for our three cats and our growing family. My husband and I love our veggie garden and our berry patches. The support system that I have in place is absolutely wonderful and allows me tons of flexibility to better support my clients. My home life brings me joy, but being a birth Doula is my professional calling and it’s a passion that comes from deep in my heart. It’s my true calling!

What my Clients are Saying:
Client Testimonials
 

"Kirsti was my doula. It was my first hospital birth, and knowing that she would be there with our written out birth plan really eased my nerves during the pregnancy. I took comfort in the fact that ide have somebody with me who loved and supported natural birth.

We met together beforehand to discuss my birth plan. She wrote it up for me which was so helpful.

I love that I was able to message her any time of day with questions or concerns, and she would respond promptly and with encouragement and helpful information.

She met us at the hospital just after we arrived and was there to meet my every need or want. She knew just where to apply back pressure to make the contractions more manageable, held my hand, got me water, talked to me and told me exactly what I needed to hear ..like that "I CAN do this!" She was a wealth of knowledge, which was so valuable to me.

Afterwards, she stayed to make sure breastfeeding was going good and to help there if I needed! Post birth, she even brought me a meal and checked in on me and baby.

Finally, she's very easy to talk to, and I always enjoyed the times we were together!"

"I had difficulties towards the end of my first two pregnancies leading to induction both times, each leading to a medicated birth. When I got pregnant with my third, I really wanted to do as much as I could to prepare my mind and body for a healthy, natural labor and birth. Kirsti came recommended to me from a dear friend and I’m so glad I called her! She was very encouraging to me leading up to birth, affirming that my body was indeed designed to birth my baby safely. Not only did she comfort me, but her presence also comforted my husband and took some of the pressure off of him to be a skilled labor coach and advocate. My labor, though taxing, was absolutely empowering. Though I did benefit from Kirsti’s hip squeezes and affirming words, her confidence in me and her calm presence was the most impactful to my peaceful water birth. My successful natural delivery was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life! "
