​​Cat looks forward to having the opportunity to empower and inspire you in whatever ways she can for your birth!
​"Cat has truly found her calling as a birth expert.  She is intelligent, practical, flexible, confident, and kind, and I respect her immensely and feel that we owe her a huge debt of gratitude for delivering on her promise to work diligently to help us to experience the birth we desired... In addition to her impressive scientific knowledge base, during my labor, she exuded a quietly respectful confidence in my ability to give birth to my baby girl and supported both my husband and I throughout a long and surprisingly quiet winter night I will never forget.  Labor and delivery (unmedicated VBAC) were oddly perhaps the smoothest patches of this road for me...She was strong enough to be, in a way, the perfect therapist for this therapist.  We are so grateful to Cat and highly recommend her." - Dr. Racheal
"We took Cat's Demystifying Your Hospital Birth class and we are so glad we did! Using evidence, based research in a fun and interactive way, she answered all of our questions and eased our concerns. She's friendly, knowledgeable and truly has a passion for what she does. And the best part is the home class was private so we were able to focus on specific concerns we had. My wife and I highly recommend Cat and Birth Freely!"

 "So thankful my OB recommended that I schedule classes with Cat. It was a very personal and inviting experience."

"As a first time mom I was looking for support during my pregnancy and delivery - specifically classes and a Doula. Thankfully we found Cats group. My husband and I decided we wanted to attempted an unmedicated hospital birth. We took the evidence based birth class series with Cat and hired a Birth Freely Preferred Doula. I am absolutely confident that we would not have had the birth experience we planned without the classes and our doula. The evidence based birth class is so unique. We were armed with so much information about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum."
