Certified Birth, Postpartum and Infant Care Specialist Doula
Hi, I’m Kaleigh (She/her)…
and I’ve always felt drawn to the world of pregnancy, birth and new life. I was born and raised in Ipswich, Massachusetts and attended The College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina where I received my degree in Communications. After years of working in marketing, I finally came to the realization that this was a job that held no passion for me and left to be a stay at home mother.
While birth has always fascinated me, I was terrified of experiencing it myself. When I became pregnant with my first child in 2015 I decided to make the most of the experience. Through research, reading countless birth stories, completing a HypnoBirthing Course and with the support of my own doula, I was able to have a beautiful birth experience of my own. In the postpartum period I found unbiased emotional support in a new mom’s group as I adjusted to motherhood. These experiences were life changing and reignited my passion for birth and for supporting others. That was when I knew I wanted to become a doula.
In 2016, I attended both a Labor and Postpartum & Infant Care Doula training with ProDoula and began my career as a doula. Over the last several years I have had the honor of helping many families welcome their child to the world and adjust to parenthood in a caring and supported way.
I have also trained to become a Postpartum Placenta Specialist, Certified HypnoBirthing Educator, and Certified Lactation Counselor.
Through my work I have learned that each family has their own way of parenting, feeding, birthing and raising their children, but in the end all parents love their children unconditionally. I take pride in and enjoy supporting each family as they make their way into parenthood in the way that feels best to them.
I currently live in North Reading, Massachusetts and enjoy spending my time with my husband and our three children Peter, Abe and Emmy.
Kit Normand, CLC
Certified Birth, Postpartum and Infant Care Specialist Doula
Hi I’m Kit (She/Her)…
a mom of two boys living with my family on the North Shore. I have always had a love of children and after becoming pregnant with my first son, developed a strong passion for all things pregnancy and birth related. I earned a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Early Education and my knowledge in both fields, along with my own personal experiences, makes me a valuable resource for birthing and postpartum families.
I am a Certified ProDoula Labor and Postpartum & Infant Care Doula. I also received my Certification in Lactation Counseling from the Academy of Lactation Policy and Procedure. I have over 5 years of personal breastfeeding experience and have enjoyed helping countless mothers through their own feeding journeys.
The most important thing I’ve learned in this career is that pregnancy and birth are predictably unpredictable! My goal is to provide families with the consistent, non-judgmental and caring support they deserve in this crazy, beautiful time of their lives.
Brittany Fisher, CLC, CHBE, CPST
Certified Postpartum and Infant Care Specalist Doula
Hi, I’m Brittany (she/her)…
and my journey to supporting families began before I even started mine! I have always loved providing education and support and started my career as a K-5 Special Education teacher. I decided to take my first doula training, over 10 years ago, after supporting a few friends and family members during their pregnancies.
In the time since that first training, I continued my education and trained as a HypnoBirthing educator, CPST, Certified Lactation Counselor, and a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist. I am on the board of the Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition and am the National Director of ZipMilk. I also support providers and families with breast pumps and supplies through insurance at Acelleron.
I strongly believe in equity and work to ensure all families feel supported in their parenting and feeding journeys- no matter where those journeys may take them!
I currently live on the NorthShore with my husband and 5 children. We love a good walk together!
