Caring for a newborn should not be what's keeping you from experiencing the joys of being a new parent and the care and support you need and deserve. From pregnancy to labor, giving birth is exhausting. It's time for you to finally receive the rest you crave as well as the warm, loving support each step of the way.

Kristin Yaroscak
I am a mother of two, who loves nature, animals, picnics, and pizza! Motherhood as joyful as it was for me, was also really hard and lonely at times. As my babies grew, I naturally reached out to friends and family members after the birth of their babies and offered the support that I felt all new mothers needed and wanted so desperately, but would never ask for. Seeing a new mama be able to rest and snuggle with her little one when the household chores have been taken care of, and she has been fed and nurtured just like her newborn, warms my heart.
I was born to be a doula! Over the years, I have supported countless families in a variety of circumstances. For me, it's never been about the service that I provide, but all about the relationship. My loving and nurturing energy puts expectant and new parents at ease and provides reassurance during times of doubt. I feel so grateful to be able to support families during this special time and it never feels like work!
While you care for baby,
I care for you.
You're going through a life transition, to say the least. Your body has changed, your responsibilities are new, and you're eager to get to know your little one.
On top of that, you're figuring out breastfeeding, navigating hormonal shifts, and carrying a lot more than you did just a few days ago. If there has ever been a time you need help managing everything, this might be it.
One of the most difficult parts of entering motherhood is that it’s hard to plan because you don’t know what type of help will be best. With a postpartum doula you will have help at the ready - no matter what that looks like.
Postpartum doulas can take care of basic household tasks like laundry or dishes, giving you a chance to bond with your baby. They also take care of you, making sure you have a nutritious meal, something to drink, and most importantly, plenty of rest. A postpartum doula can also lend a listening ear to help you process your birth story or ensure your mental state is stable. Whatever help you may need, I am here.

My Passion + Purpose IS YOU
With a personal story that includes, infertility, breastfeeding challenges, postpartum depression, a baby with high needs, and one who just wouldn't sleep, I know how important proper postpartum support is for a family. Having also been trained through the lens of Ayurveda and the rise in autoimmune disease and postpartum mood disorders among new mothers and seeing firsthand how it can impact the entire family, I now had the knowledge to help mothers heal from childbirth on a whole new level. This new vision of how I wanted to support postpartum mothers was the beginning of Western CT Doula.
Kristin was my saving grace!
“When I was pregnant, I wasn't sure if I'd need a postpartum doula. I learned my lesson the hard way when I found myself struggling with a two-week-old. Kristin was my saving grace! With her help, I was finally able to breastfeed after a tough start. She was such a warm presence in my home and helped me to find my confidence as a new mom.”
