Over 11 years of experience
A place to feel prepared
Knowledge for your mind. Calm for your heart.
Birth asks much of a mother. You deserve to enter it informed, heard, and surrounded by people who understand what matters to you.
Based in Port St. Lucie, I travel to families across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches, as far south as Boca Raton, within about a 90-minute drive. You do not need to live in Port St. Lucie to work with me. Together, we will confirm your home and planned birth location when you inquire.
I’m Catherine Shrake, a certified birth doula whose Catholic faith and Christian commitment to service shape my care. I welcome families of all beliefs with respect and compassion.
