About Us
Coming together is a beginning,
staying together is progress,
and working together is success.
~Henry Ford
Kaitlin Manville CD(DONA)
After attending three beautiful births in my teens, and seeing first-hand the strength & fortitude of laboring women, the fascination I already held for pregnancy and birth quickly turned into a passion for taking a more active role; which naturally led me to the place I am now.
As your doula, my purpose & desire is to provide you with a constant, encouraging presence; steady, reliable hands; a thoughtful, listening ear; and a peaceful atmosphere, free from outside concerns or distractions, allowing you to relax, stay focused and birth exactly as your body was created to.
Along with my role as a doula, I have completed my B.A., am preparing to be a homemaker, enjoying my family and ultimately serving the Lord where His hand leads me.

I first became interested in being a doula after attending the birth of my sister, Johanna. The experience led me to a greater understanding of the beauty of childbirth, and I knew I wanted to take part.
I realize that the experience of birthing your little one is something you will not too soon forget. It will be one of the most vivid memories you will be able to look back on for years to come, and I hope that the support & encouragement I can offer will help make that special occasion a truly beautiful memory.
Besides my interests in doula care, I love serving the Lord through the ministry of my family and continue to enjoy being a daughter, sister & friend!
