kin by Charlotte

Hello there, I’m Charlotte.

I’m a sometimes artist, mama, lover of great food, sleep in advocate and postpartum doula. I know that not only does it take a village to raise a child, it takes a village to hold a family. kin was born because I couldn’t shake the niggling feeling that there had to be a better way. I get it – babies are gosh darn gorgeous, but you deserve to be held too. Parenting is beautiful, messy, sparkly, hard work. I want families, just like yours, to feel supported and celebrated.

As your postpartum doula, I will always
* make sure you feel nourished, supported, and held, as you do the same for your newest family member
* have you as my primary focus and arrive without any expectations – setting me apart from even the most well-meaning guest
* ask you what you want and need
* ask you how you are traveling
* remind you that no one will ever know your babe as well as you do
* come bearing delicious food, non judgemental support, and an extra pair of hands as we try to comprehend the instructions on your baby carrier/pram/whatever else seems suddenly indecipherable. How can anything so teeny be so hard to assemble?!
* honour your transition to parenthood

Families come in an endless array of perfect combinations and I can’t wait to walk alongside yours as you embark on this – the grandest of adventures.
