Kristen Kaessler, owner and operator of Whole Soul Doula, works with birthing people who seek additional support before, during, and after the longest marathon of their lives: giving birth. A doula provides resources, helps you prepare for your upcoming birth and is an important member of your support team during your labor and delivery.  In her practice, Kristen is a non-judgmental sounding board for clients. She provides emotional, physical, and spiritual support for the birthing person (and their partner, if present) before, during, and after birth. For postpartum clients, Kristen offers helping hands when clients are too tired to carry out daily activities in their homes during the fourth trimester, and she uses intuition to pick up on non-verbal cues to encourage and elevate on the hardest of days. Overall, Kristen seeks to genuinely support, respect, and inform her clients so they feel prepared, informed, heard, and elevated.
