Our Philosophy

Into the wild you go, losing your way, finding your soul.

Birth is much more than a physical event, it is also a mental, emotional, spiritual, and communal experience.

The support we offer at Freya Birth is grounded in the idea that you are a whole person, and will be affected by your history and personality and so many other factors. We strive to hold space for your unique journey with non-judgement and compassion.

We also want to invite you to take a look at the parts of you that you may have denied access to the table, because birth has a way of unearthing those things. We will stay by you as you navigate bringing them to your awareness and integrating them into your self.

Birth offers an incredible opportunity to let go of what isn’t serving you and to build what feels good and right. This includes the relationship to your body, self and community.

We are also always seeking more knowledge about holsitic healing modalities and remedies that help to heal the mind and body and offer gentler ways of easing the birth process without the side effects.

I'm Katie

Founder of Freya Birth

In 2017, I embarked on a heartfelt journey as a solo doula, pouring my dedication and passion into serving expectant mothers during one of the most transformative times in their lives. The journey was deeply fulfilling, but it soon became clear that demand for my services had grown beyond what I could personally provide. Alongside this realization, I yearned for a stronger sense of community—a place where I, too, could find the support and camaraderie I needed to thrive and bring my very best to every client. 

This moment of reflection gave birth to a beautiful idea—to create a haven of holistic, compassionate doula care and a sanctuary of support. And thus, Freya Birth Doula Collaborative was born. 

Our collaborative is a culmination of love and dedication, handpicking a wonderful group of doulas who share the same passion, values, and commitment to nurturing mothers and families through every step of their unique journey. We are more than just a team; we are a collective of compassionate hearts, dedicated to making every mother feel seen, heard, and held throughout her motherhood journey. 

Thank you for considering Freya Birth Doula Collaborative as your partner in this beautiful chapter of your life. We are here to embrace, empower, and elevate your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. 

With love and gratitude, Katie

Love from our clients

Katie is authentic, grounded, gentle, and extremely intuitive. When my husband and I first met with her in our home, we automatically felt comfortable and safe with her. Her experience and education surrounding pregnancy and childbirth (home birth, birth center birth and hospital) is unparalleled. The way she held me and talked with me during my labor the way she anticipated my needs even before I did; she has a gift. And that gift is her ability to properly support a woman through childbirth. Every woman deserves to have support like that. I would go as far to say you won’t find another doula like her, she is just exceptional. From the prenatal visits to the delivery to the postpartum visits, it is worth every penny to hire her. She helped me process my first birth trauma, and helped my husband feel so involved in my birth. She drove in the worst snowstorm of the season to make it to my birth. You can tell she loves this work and treats it as her calling in life. She’s amazing and would recommend her to anyone.

Ali was my doula for my second pregnancy. I had a lot of trauma and fears stemming from the birth of my first baby, and I found Ali to be a wonderful resource to help explore my fears and overcome them. Her background in therapy really made her a great asset to emotionally prepare for birth. I had a beautiful unmedicated birth where Ali was right by my side. She was attentive, empathetic, and had all the right tools to help manage birth. Her postpartum visits really helped me to process and reflect. Ali is a wonderful doula and a great addition to anyone’s birth team!

I’m very happy to have worked with Alisha as my doula for my third and most recent birth. There were lots of uncertainties regarding delivery with this pregnancy due to some unforeseen circumstances, but she was able to provide helpful support in the days leading up to delivery, including prenatal yoga, as well as throughout my entire labor. She helped both my husband and I feel at ease with each stage of labor and was able to help me make the best choices for me and my situation. She gave helpful suggestions for movement and position changes, offered positive encouragement, and provided helpful counter pressure where needed while directing my husband. Without her there, my birth would have gone very differently. Additionally she was able to capture tender moments on camera that will be invaluable to me. Her gentle nature kept a calm presence in the room but she was still a great advocate for me and my wishes. I’m honored to have worked with her and highly recommend her services.

Madi you entered the birthing space as a kind stranger, with a smile and gentle presence. But by the time we were being discharged home, we felt as though we had been long time friends. We felt incredibly lucky to have you be such an integral part of this life-changing experience for us. We've talked about our birth center experience many times since birth and always come back to how much you helped ensure our comfort and safety as our doula. You matched the energy of the situation perfectly. You never felt far away but allowed us to have the space we needed to experience and support each other in the birthing environment. Your guidance, patience, and caring demeanor made us feel calm, and prepared to tackle our first days of parenthood. We can not imagine a better experience or outcome with any other doula. We will be recommending you as a doula to all of our friends. The importance of your work cannot be overstated! Thanks for everything, Madi! P.S. Thank you for educating us on car seat safety!
Z, Birth Client
It is an honor for me to express my deep gratitude to you and the incredible work you did as a doula in my pregnancy and postpartum process. Truly, you are a blessing and an angel in the lives of the women you have the privilege to attend.

Catrina has been a friend of mine for years, and has talked about her passion for massage and birth since before she had her first baby. I knew from her calming nature and her strength in connecting with others that she would be an amazing doula, and I’m just so happy that she finally got to be mine! She helped me prepare for birth by doing meditations and stretches, and gave me tips when I told her I was feeling a certain way. In the hospital she was so empowering and advocated for what I wanted in my birth experience. When a nurse or my midwife would say something, she would turn to me and say, “Is that ok? Is that what you want?” And it gave me the confidence to be completely in control of my birth. Something I really loved was her breathing low and deep with me through each contraction. I needed that reminder everytime! During my labor she worked with pressure points, massage, affirmations, meditation, warm towels, hot stones, and essential oils. Whoever has Catrina as their doula is sure to have a sacred and empowering experience through labor and delivery!
Molly Medrano
Courtney was amazing!! She provided much needed relief during each contraction. Her presence, voice, and intuition on what I needed during each surge was just what I needed! She made me feel comfortable and supported. If you’re pregnant or plan on having kiddos in the future, Courtney is your girl!
Nadine came right in and did so much for us! She played and interacted with my kids while cleaning, held my little one when I needed a break, she made sure I had water and food and that I was doing well before she'd leave. She would go above and beyond caring for us. Our house always felt cozy and clean when she left.

Jenessa is not only an incredible doula, she becomes an incredible friend through the process and you can truly feel how invested she becomes in you and your pregnancy. Birth and motherhood is her passion and it truly shows through her work. I can’t recommend Jenessa enough, you will absolutely love having her as your doula!
