Katie Tighe
Childbirth Educator
Childbirth Educator
I am passionate about birth and supporting parents during the entire childbirth year. I grew up surrounded by birth as the daughter of a midwife, but my journey to be a Doula and childbirth educator started while living in the Netherlands. I met inspiring and wonderful childbirth and postpartum advocates in Amsterdam. When I moved back to Maryland, I started teaching childbirth classes and became the first Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator in Maryland. Helping parents to feel heard, supported and informed is what moves me every day. As the mother of three very young children, I have decided to focus on supporting parents outside of the labor & delivery room with childbirth and parent classes.
I look forward to meeting you, hearing your unique journey into parenthood, and discovering how I can support you at this time.
