Ethereal Beginnings

EtherealBeginnings

Doula care and nanny support for the tender, sleepless, luminous first chapter of your family.

A developing baby cradled in a swirl of cosmic light and stars
Every beginning is
its own small cosmos.
What I Offer

Two kinds of care,
one steady presence.

Some families need someone beside them for a birth. Some need someone they trust with their child every week. Many need both, in that order — and it helps when the person arranging the second was already there for the first.

Doula Support

Someone in your corner
who isn't watching a chart.

Continuous, non-clinical support through pregnancy, birth, and the weeks that follow — for you and for your partner.

  • Prenatal visits and birth-preference planning
  • Continuous labor support, hospital or home
  • Comfort measures, positioning, and breathwork
  • Partner coaching, so they know how to help
  • Postpartum visits in the first weeks at home
Nanny Care

Trusted hands, for the long stretch.

Warm, attentive, developmentally-minded care from a nanny I've vetted myself and matched to your family.

  • Care for all ages — newborns through school age
  • Newborn and infant specialty care
  • Full-time, part-time, and occasional schedules
  • Overnight and travel care
  • Gentle sleep-routine and nap support
  • Age-appropriate play, reading, and outings
About

Hi, I'm Katherine.

I've spent four years supporting families through the beginning — the appointments, the long night of labor, the strange quiet of the first week home, and the ordinary Tuesdays after that.

My work is simple: I make sure you feel informed, unhurried, and cared for. I don't have an opinion about how you should give birth or how you should feed your baby. I have questions, steady hands, and a lot of patience for the 2 a.m. version of you.

I'm a DONA-trained birth doula, CPR and infant first aid certified. I serve families throughout Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, with travel care available.

How It Usually Goes

From the first flutter
to the first steps.

First

Pregnancy

We meet, talk through what you want and what worries you, and build a plan you actually feel good about.

Then

Birth

I'm with you from early labor through the first hour after — continuous, calm, and on your side of the room.

After

The fourth trimester

Daytime visits or overnight shifts through the blurry weeks — feeding, recovery, and real sleep for you.

Onward

Growing years

When you're ready to go back to work or just need regular hands, nanny care picks up — me when I'm available, or another nanny I trust.
