Caitlin Dougherty
Birth & Postpartum Doula



 

Caitlin (she/they) is a birth and postpartum doula, a registered nurse, and mom of two. For the past 13 years she has worked as a nurse in the cardiology & intensive care, but birthwork always called to her. In 2016 she took the first steps on her journey and attended the birth of her best friend's first child.

She’s been hooked ever since, and after taking a detour into nurse leadership, finally decided to become a birth doula in 2022. She gave birth to herfirst child later that same year! During her first postpartum experience she became fiercely passionate about lactation, and have decided to pursue the title of International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I am based in Jackson Heights, but I serve clients in The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Nassau County.
