About Kris
Kris (she/they) is a coffee indulgent cat parent to Lilly (seen above). They enjoy Bob's Burgers, almost anything chartreuse, and top-tier dad jokes.
They started as a postpartum doula in 2019 after many years of caring for young children, three years of early childhood development education and experience, as well as supporting postpartum birthing people. As a Black, queer doula - Kris seeks to provide safe spaces to speak openly about parenting and any of its challenges, raising babies in inclusive and anti-racist community and support parents in their natural progression in a realistic approach for their family.
In addition to being a doula, she also co-facilitates peer support groups for postpartum parents of all identities with fellow doula Katie Baxter at The Postpartum Collective.
