Kat Adams

Hey, I’m Kat, the owner here at Pine State Doula and a fiercely passionate perinatal professional based in Portland, Maine. I am a doula, lactation counselor, childbirth educator, reproductive justice advocate, and mother.

Since coming to birth work in the spring of 2018 I have helped over 100 families thrive during their childbearing year. Spending time with folks preparing for the physical and emotional changes involved with giving birth and becoming parents brings me immense joy and fulfillment. I bring my training and extensive experience along with up to date, evidence-based information to all my client interactions while simultaneously encouraging folks to look beyond the data to their intuition for guidance.

I strongly believe that all reproductive experiences deserve the same care and support as welcoming a baby. As a full spectrum doula, I support folks through fertility, birth, abortion, loss, postpartum, and more. All avenues to and through pregnancy and postpartum are welcome here.

Outside of my work in reproductive care, I enjoy exploring all Maine has to offer with my daughters and partner and keeping my hands busy with knitting, crochet, DIYs around the house, and kitchen projects.

Love from Past Clients

Nancy P.

“It was one of the best decisions of my life to have Kat supporting us in pregnancy and at the birth of our first baby in. Her expertise for the sessions to help create a birth plan helped set expectations and guided me to make my own decisions and trust my body. We had a natural birth and I could not have done it without her ideas for positions, encouragement, and non anxious presence for both myself and my spouse. Thank you Kat, I'm so grateful.”
Ashley K.

“Wow. My husband and I’s experience with Kat made me a forever advocate for doula support. She supported us throughout two very different pregnancies and births and truly was a part of our TEAM. I could fill pages with our love and appreciation of who Kat is and how she carries herself as a doula. I am so thankful we got to work with her twice and have so much joy thinking of future families that will benefit from her presence in their birthing journeys. The best.”
Jamie P.

“Our experience with Kat was nothing short of spectacular. We felt supported through every moment. Our ‘birth plan’ went out the window thanks to a breech baby, however having the support of Kat made all the difference in both figuring out how to proceed with each curveball, and coming to terms with a birth that looked the opposite of everything we envisioned. I truly credit her with having a peaceful, beautiful birth experience despite what could have been a traumatic experience.”
Ava W.

“Kat was an amazing doula! She was always responsive and knowledgeable about whatever questions I had. I had a lot of anxiety while I was pregnant and she always made me feel heard and supported. She has also been a great postpartum resource!”
Jazmen F.

“Hiring Kat to be our doula was the best decision we could have made. Her patience, expertise and guidance was invaluable and made our pregnancy and birth experience so much better. Today is my son’s first birthday and today Kat is on my mind. Our pregnancy didn’t play out as expected but because of Kat our memories of that day are filled with positivity and love.”
