About Me

My name is Katie Hawkins and I am a Columbus, Ohio native, an organic farmer, mother of a wonderful toddler, and am well on my way to earning my DONA postpartum doula certification.  

I believe everyone deserves compassionate support during their time of change and growth.  Whether a baby is coming through birth or adoption, every family is unique, and I strive to learn how to help you best.  This transitional time is an opportunity for families to focus inward to grow resilient and strong.  It is my goal to take on the tasks that can distract from this work and to offer guidance and resources.
