Hi, I’m Kristen 👋🏼
I’m a certified birth & postpartum doula, lactation advocate, childhood brain development guru, and the one-woman show behind Allora Birth & Wellness. Thanks for taking a break from your search to learn a little more about me!
As a doula, my goal is to empower birthers to find their inner strength and feel like a total badass. I believe in the body’s natural ability and instinct to give birth, and I serve as your sideline coach and cheerleader throughout your labor and postpartum journey. My role is to hold space for you, help you understand your choices, protect your birth environment and make you feel comfortable, safe and supported. I provide physical and emotional comfort to help you to have a satisfying birth and postpartum experience. I want every person to have the experience they desire, whatever that looks like for them.
I’m also trained in and have a BRAVA Core and Pelvic Floor Certification!
Outside of birth work, you'll find me working my “day-job” as a Program Manager for HealthPartners, sipping local coffee, trying new foods, or hiking or biking with my goldendoodle, Lucy. For those of you into personality typing, I’m an Enneagram 6w7, aquarius, and ENFJ.
Being welcomed into a birth or postpartum space is truly a gift. I look forward to getting to know you! 💛
