What parents say
Katarra is such a lovely human and incredible healthcare provider. Her demeanor is so relaxing and kind, amazing energy to have when you’re in a perceivably high stress situation like having a baby. Katarra is so good at listening and then explaining and answering questions.
Katarra is amazing! We feel so blessed to have her as a part of our daughter’s home birth story. She is highly trained and dedicated to her midwifery practice which was a great comfort to us. She is so deeply genuine with both confidence and grace.
Katarra provides care for the whole person. I didn’t decide to have a home birth until I was about 8 months pregnant. I wish I would have started with Katarra sooner because my appointments with her felt personal and individualized. She took the time to get to know me and my family.
Katarra was my midwife for the birth of my son in January 2020. After my first was born (in a traditional hospital birth with a hospital midwife) I knew I wanted a home birth for my second. Katarra came recommended by a friend who had done a home birth with Katarra.
