About Me

Hi, I'm Caitlyn, a DONA-trained birth and postpartum doula and prenatal yoga instructor based in Bakersfield, California, serving families in Kern County! My path to this work is deeply personal to me. My own fertility, birth, and postpartum experiences showed me firsthand that mothers deserve more, and this work is truly my calling.

I bring a background in evidence-based and individualized birth and postpartum support. I believe that finding quality care is not about dismissing the medical system, but carefully selecting a care team that will support each family's needs. What matters most to me in working with families is that they feel like an active participant in their own care during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Every parent is the most important person in the room, and my role is to help them feel heard, informed, and empowered.

Whether I am supporting a family through pregnancy, labor, or the fourth trimester, my goal is to hold space for them with grounded and warm care the whole way through.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy centers on the belief that mothers deserve more. My focus is on supporting the primary caregiver and birthing person through one of the most transformative experiences of their life. I believe in taking a balanced approach in my practice, blending evidence-based care with holistic, individualized support.

Overall, my goal is to build real relationships, cultivate trust, and empower every family I work with throughout their journey.
