Proudly Serving San Luis Obispo County
About Me
I am a firm believer that a person’s pregnancy, labor, and birth are one of the most powerfully pivotal moments in their life. My goal is to support, empower, provide evidence based information, and assist in making your birth journey and experience as memorable as possible.
I received my Associates of Science Degree in 2007, my Bachelors of Science Degree in 2009, and graduated from National Midwifery Institute in 2021. I earned my Certified Professional Midwife, CPM, in March of 2022 through the North American Registered Midwives, NARM. I have proudly been attending births and supporting families since 2016. With a passion for helping others I fell in love with the aspect of supporting, encouraging, and helping others grow, with compassion, respect, understanding, and commitment to meet each individual where they are at.
I am a wife, a mother of three amazing children, an ironman triathlete, a lover of nature, animals and everything birth.
Throughout my own personal experience with labor and the delivery of my son in 2015, and my daughters in 2019 and 2021 I experienced the monumental impact of birth and family that I will forever carry. With a heart for helping, and a passion for pregnancy, birth and beyond I followed my heart and passion for birth work and ultimately midwifery. Proudly offering an array of birth services to the beautiful Central Coast of California in San Luis Obispo County.
I encourage my families to build a support system to help propel them into this incredible life changing experience of growing a family, and look forward to working with you.
With Love, Light, and Gratitude.
Katrina Bolduc, LM & CPM
“Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation; continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path exactly where you are meant to be right now. And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love.“ ~ Caroline Adams
