LOLA KATSCHKE:
CD(PALS), CLE
My interest in birth work was very organic as a continuation of the childcare and teaching experiences I had both here and in South America. I grew up in warm Sao Paulo, Brazil, and after moving to Seattle, I dove deep into my calling to be a birth and postpartum doula. I realized that I had a unique ability to recognize and cater to peoples’ individual needs and to support them in their transition to parenthood. These skills are the foundation of my doula practice.
When I think about the significant impact of my work as a doula can have on people’s lives, it immediately warms my heart. Knowing that I am the person who can assess their needs and bring the needed comfort and calm presence is both a great responsibility and a great joy. I enter each birthing situation with confidence and ease, and leave my work with a family knowing they have solid tools and confidence in their parenting skills.
When I join a family during labor, I appreciate and honor that I am participating in one of the most important moments in their lives. I can adjust my support strategies to meet a family’s needs, reassure them of the good progress of the birthing person, and accompany them on that beautiful path until the baby is in their arms.
As a Latina immigrant, I have experienced the challenges of adjusting to life in a new country without family nearby. I know first-hand how challenging it can be to reach out to a new support network for help. There is a lot of trust in a doula and birthing parent relationship. Everyone experiences new emotions, and these feelings can be scary. I am there to provide comfort as well as to share information to help the birthing family make informed and empowered decisions.
Our doula team is currently available for due dates in and after February 2021. Please reach out at hello@theperfectpush if you need referrals for doulas with room on their calendars.
