About Me
Krista DeLorenzo - Connected Mumma Doula
Serving my community and the surrounding areas since 2021, I am dedicated to nurturing families through the transformative journey of pregnancy and childbirth. My commitment extends beyond the traditional roles to encompass childbirth educator, birth doula, postpartum doula, breastfeeding counselor, and to capture the beauty in it all as a birth photographer.
As an advocate for continual learning, I strive to expand my knowledge to better support families, aiming to empower them to be the best versions of themselves. My philosophy centers around education and guidance, empowering new parents to step into a place of power and confidence as they make choices tailored to their family's unique needs.
I embrace and celebrate families from diverse backgrounds, recognizing the beauty in every race, color, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and gender identity. My doula services are not limited; they are inclusive and tailored to the rich tapestry of human experience. Let's embark on this journey together, creating a supportive space where your choices are honored, and your family's story is captured with warmth and understanding.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Child Development and Family Studies from West Virginia University. My experiences and education during this time equipped me with a deep understanding of the intricate dynamics of the mother-baby unit.
My passion for supporting families blossomed further through working with families as an Early Head Start Home Visitor. After the birth of my second daughter I decided to continue my education through the International Doula Institute, where I expanded my skills and knowledge to become a dedicated birth doula, postpartum doula, and breastfeeding counselor.
In addition, I completed childbirth educator training through birthworker.com, further enriching my toolkit for empowering and educating expectant parents. My commitment to continuous learning reflects my passion of ensuring that I can provide the most informed and compassionate support to the families I serve.
The best source of learning so far in my life has been experiencing pregnancy, birth, and parenthood firsthand. My daughters are the reason I am where I am today. They drive my passion to create a better world for women to live and give birth in.
Embarking on the incredible adventure of parenthood is a unique and sacred experience, and I am honored to be a part of your journey. Let's work together to create a space of empowerment, education, and unwavering support for you and your growing family.
