Kristin Reiswig
Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, Body Ready Method Pro.
Hi, I’m Kristin (she/her)!
As a certified Birth and Postpartum doula and a mother of five, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my role. Supporting my sister through her three births and serving as a surrogate for a loving family deepened my love of all things birthy! Additionally, my upbringing in a family that fostered newborns instilled in me a profound love for caring for infants.
I am deeply grateful and honored for the opportunity to assist families on their perinatal journey.
As your doula, my role is to honor your choices and create a nurturing environment. I recognize the vital role of partners in the birthing process and strive to foster a supportive and unified atmosphere throughout pregnancy and birth.
Throughout our time together, my goal is to empower you with knowledge and understanding of your options and rights, fostering a profound sense of confidence.
With support tailored to diverse birth experiences, I am committed to helping you achieve an empowering birth that embraces the path that suits you best.
I provide comprehensive assistance, including education, physical support, and emotional guidance, enabling you to tap into your instincts, trust evidence-based research, and have faith in your body's capabilities.
I'm here to honor your journey, encompassing all emotions and aspirations.

Anti-Racist Statement
We recognize structural racism/ethnic discrimination and other forms of oppression have contributed to persistent disparities which we seek to dismantle.
We understand that these disparities have existed in the past and persist into the present.
We acknowledge that these inequities are the result of policies and practices that work to marginalize entire populations of people.
We unequivocally denounce racism/ethnic discrimination because it undermines the well-being and vitality of our communities.
We strive to engage community members, especially those whose voices have traditionally been marginalized, to co-create solutions that ensure everyone has the resources, supports, opportunities and networks they need to thrive.
We commit to leveraging our assets, advocating for change, and participating in movements to create more equitable communities.
