Kelsey Leigh Worley PCD(DONA)

she/her

Pregnancy, birth, and the growth of a baby into a child are the most magical and amazing things to me. I am constantly astounded as I see parents and their little ones fall in love with and learn about each other.

I have been working with parents and their children for over 20 years. I started out as a nanny and have cared for children from birth to age 13.

I love helping families feel supported and confident in their own intuition and in themselves as parents.

I am a desert baby and a forest adult. I recharge in nature, and love to take photos of small, beautiful things I notice.

I believe in kindness, empathy, and compassion. I also believe that community is essential, nature is astounding and to be respected, and the best sound in the world is a baby laughing.

  • "Kelsey is a dream post-partum doula. Knowledgeable, kind, patient, and a magician with young babies, she was a life-saver during those early sleepless weeks! She was incredibly attentive and intuitive with our son and he was always happy to see her when she arrived. Kelsey always went above and beyond to help ease the transition to parenthood for us and we would work with her again in a heartbeat!" —Megan

  • "Hiring Kelsey postpartum was the best decision we could have made. I struggled with PPD/PPA. Kelsey guided me through signing up for additional supports/resources outside of the home. She also gently supported and guided me through areas as a new mother I felt sensitive in and helped build my confidence to navigate through this transformative experience in becoming parents. We'd be lost without her expertise and tender nature." —Aleyna
