What’s it like to have Kate as your Intuitive Wedding Doula? I’ll tell you. Working with Kate was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. From the moment she arrived, she brought a calm, grounding presence that helped me feel peaceful, relaxed, and truly present. Kate has a gift for reading the room and knowing exactly what you need, often before you realize it yourself.
During the entire process, from my engagement to the wedding day, she helped me stay connected to my vision for what kind of bride I wanted to be and how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. Anytime I started to feel overwhelmed with the planning process, unheard by some vendors, or emotionally depleted, Kate was right there, walking with me every step of the way. Kate truly understands the emotional toll of the wedding journey, and she was always equipped with healing tools and insightful questions to help me tune into my heart, move through the chaos with grace, and remember what was most important.
Whether it was helping me breathe through the nerves, keeping our timeline flowing gently, or creating a peaceful bubble of support amidst all the excitement, Kate was absolutely incredible. I felt like I had a wise, intuitive, and reassuring friend by my side the whole day.
If you’re looking for someone with incredibly versatile skills to support your wedding journey who can hold space, reduce stress, and help you feel centered on one of the biggest days of your life, I can’t recommend Kate enough. She’s a wedding doula in the truest sense of the word—calm, kind, intuitive, and deeply supportive. Thank you, Kate! 💜

“I learned to be aware of my expectations and intentions.
It helped me navigate away from patterns where I’d set myself to be let down (like going to specific family members for help and being let down every time they didn’t follow through).
It helped me focus on being open minded and give different and better perspectives (like inviting people based off who I want to have a closer relationship with rather than who I’m told I ‘should’ invite).
Helped me have confidence in my choices as well, which helped me hold boundaries. I’ve grown as a person by being in this group and hearing stories and all the perspectives.”

“I was able to be so in the moment the day of my wedding because I knew that Kate was there. I knew was in very competent, conscientious, and capable hands.
After the fact, I found out about a number of crises that Kate diffused effortlessly, and I had no idea!
Kate has an incredibly calming presence and effortlessly guided my partner and me through this huge transition. She eased planning stress, calmed nerves, and helped us to acknowledge the moment we were stepping into without letting it overwhelm us.
As a result, we were able to step into our marriage with calm confidence.”

“Having Kate be my wedding doula was the best decision I made for my wedding weekend!
She patiently listened to me in the months leading up to the big day, asking me questions that helped me to reflect and enjoy the process.
I know that I could relax and enjoy the process of wedding planning so much more because Kate was there to guide me.” – Alex 2017

“Kate helped us out at our wedding. We rented a house up in the mountains and warned all our guests about the possibility of altitude sickness but didn’t think it would affect us!
We had a great rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding (which might or might not have involved several old fashions) and the next morning I felt dehydrated and lightheaded.
Kate came to the rescue with coconut water, and other herbal remedies to get me feeling better. I know my wife also really appreciated her support. My family wasn’t able to be at the wedding so it was nice to have another motherly, nurturing friend looking out for us!”

“Kate was an invaluable asset during my wedding planning as well as on the big day!
She helped me listen to and honor myself throughout the entire process, prioritize what was really important instead of being consumed by stressful family drama, and face my fears while discovering my inner strength and self worth.
Her calming nature and experienced guidance helped to keep me grounded, connected, and present. My wedding was a deeply spiritual and transformative experience for me, and she helped me make the most of it every step of the way.
I was so grateful to have her insight, wisdom and support! Thank you, Kate!” – Crystal, 2014

“Kate was the most amazing help to me on my wedding day. Many members of a bridal party are often focused on their own needs, but Kate my wedding doula was 100% focused on my physical and emotional well being.
I felt so supported and loved. She is one of the most intuitive, supportive people I’ve ever met and I can’t recommend her enough!” – Kendle 2012
“My doula [Kate] was the BEST as she made us a video that included footage of our ceremony. We did not have any video done so this was such a surprise and something we will cherish forever. She sent us the video a few weeks after the wedding that also included personal pictures she took herself.”
“One thing she [Kate] ended up doing was actually caring for my future husband. I know this isn’t usually in the purview of her duties, but because it was thing I was most anxious about she came to the rescue. He had partied way too hard the night before and not slept well. She fed him coconut juice, fruit and encouraged him to take a nap. She also helped me get grounded with some meditation, kept my hydrated, made sure I ate something, and spritzed me with lovely scents which she equated to grounding, empowering emotions.
She [Kate] offered unbiased support. She was not involved in the wedding planning so she was not emotionally attached to any choices made. She was great at giving advice from her personal experiences with her wedding but she was also there to just talk things through.
Would you recommend a wedding doula to other women? Why?
“Yes. My family and friends were wonderful, supportive and helpful but I still needed a wedding doula. I can’t imagine if I had an anxious mother, overbearing mother-in-law, or some sort of family drama on top of the inevitable stress and emotions around getting married. You pour so much money and planning into this one day, a wedding doula helps you be able to actually enjoy it by empowering you to feel your best spiritually, emotionally and physically.”
“Yes. So much time during wedding planning is spent on literally just the wedding. It is so helpful and necessary to think past the wedding into the marriage. A doula can help with these emotions and what it means to BE married not to GET married.”
