Kati knew from a young age that she wanted to work with women through pregnancy and birth. She has always been fascinated with the whole process and believes it is something to be deeply respected and honored. Over the years she learned the importance of allowing pregnancy and birth to be as natural as possible and to only intervene when necessary. She worked as a birth doula in the community and hospital settings before, and during, her midwifery training. The more she learns about pregnancy and birth, the more she wants to learn. She has a true passion for providing families with an abundance of information and fully supporting the informed choices they make. Kati believes in trusting your body and providing individualized care to each patient. Her goal is to minimize pregnancy risks by focusing on a holistic care approach with an emphasis on nutrition, physical health, mental and spiritual well-being.

In her free time Kati enjoys spending time with her family, doing hot yoga, and going to the beach. She is also a 200+ hour certified yoga teacher and loves incorporating her love for yoga into her midwifery practice.
