Meet Kassie, BSN, RN, CLC

My journey started during nursing school. After completing my labor and delivery rotation and seeing how "medical" birth has become, I set out to find a more holistic approach to the birthing experience.

I provide mothers with the emotional and physical support they need in order to have a positive birthing experience. Birth is not a one-size-fits-all. My role as a doula is to advocate for the birth that fits my client. My goal is to empower women so they can have a safe and fulfilling birth experience.

"Just as a women's heart knows how and when to pump, her lungs to inhale, and her hand to pull back from fire, so she knows when and how to give birth."

Certifiations

Certifying Doula

I completed my Birth Doula Training Workshop through a DONA certified trainer in June 2021. Since that time, I have been working as a doula through Denver Health's Doula Program. I have experience working with laboring women from all backgrounds and cultures because of Denver Health's diverse population. I can offer support through education, positioning, grounding techniques, massage, and much more.

Certified Lactation Counselor

I completed the required education hours through Colorado University to sit for the CLC exam through The Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice. I have hands on experience helping new mothers navigate the challenges of breastfeeding as part of my role as a doula at Denver Health. I can offer support during the golden hour and beyond through feeding assessment, education, and positioning.

Registered Nurse

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing through Colorado University. I currently work in the Emergency Department at a local community hospital, but have experience in several different fields of nursing. I incorporate the knowledge and compassion from my nursing practice into my doula practice without creating a medical experience for my clients.
