Hello, my name is Katrina. I grew up in the central valley of California and spent many years living in Oakland, California, before settling in Copenhagen about ten years ago.
The births of my two children were profound and transformative experiences. These experience sparked my wish to understand more about birth - not to guide others toward the same experience, but to witness each person as they find their own way during this deeply personal period.
I’m especially drawn to the period after birth — especially as western culture and lifestyle expectations often eclipse the value and deep importance of continuing to provide physical and emotional support and care to the person that has given birth. The process of healing, settling in, and arriving into a new rhythm of life requires and deserves as much consideration and loving care and support as pregnancy, yet is often overlooked.
I find it incredibly meaningful to walk alongside people during all moments of this transition, helping them to feel supported, grounded, and cared for as they find their own footing in this new beginning.
My Philosophy
I understand myself as a companion who offers presence, openness, and genuine care. It is important to me that every person I work with feels seen, valued, and supported in ways that truly meet their needs. I approach each connection with attentiveness and flexibility, allowing space for what feels meaningful in the moment.
MY APPROACH
In my work as a doula, I offer a kind of closeness that is both personal and steady — being a trusted presence while also remaining outside of family dynamics. This allows me to support people with warmth and empathy, yet with enough perspective to hold space calmly, even when things feel intense or uncertain.
Each of our paths look different, and my role is to adapt to what is needed — whether that means offering a listening ear, sharing information, or helping in small, practical ways that bring comfort and ease. I value having the time to build genuine connection and trust, and to accompany people through pregnancy, birth, and the time after in a way that feels grounded and individual.
Openness and Respect
I don’t hold expectations about how someone should feel, give birth, or make choices. Instead, I invite you to explore what matters most to you — how you wish to experience this time and how you want to remember it.
Every person brings their own story, and part of the joy of this work is to meet each one with openness, curiosity, and respect. My hope is that those I support feel accompanied by someone who genuinely shows up for them — in ways that respond to who they are and what they need, moment by moment.
