KATH AXLINE

My approach as a doula is to provide holistic family-centered care. I am passionate about supporting women through the child bearing year with a variety of modalities that fit her unique needs.

Kath is passionate about nurturing the family through the incredible transformation of birth. She believes in holistic family care and aims to facilitate a positive birth experience for the entire family through open communication, giving the partner ideas and support for how to be involved. She also guides a birthwoman towards her own inner strengths and coping menchanisms.

DONA International trained and certified she offers support using comfort massage, acupressure, hydrotherapy, labor positioning and guided imagery techniques. She works towards cesarean prevention and natural health and wellness through creative visualization and body awareness.

Kath has extensive experience in all types of birth settings including acting as a volunteer for PDX Doulas, a local hospital based doula program.

When Kath isn't with her clients, she's adventuring with her husband and two sons.
