What is K4 all about?

Growing up on a cattle ranch in Idaho, brands are an important part of a family’s legacy and are rarely changed.  A family brand is often passed down for generations.  In 1991, my mother had major birth-related medical complications that forever changed our family.  My dad changed our family brand to honor my mother, Karen, and their four children, of whom I am the oldest.

It felt only right to continue that legacy of change and honor. In celebration of my mother (who had since passed) and our four beautiful children, I chose K4 Birth Services.

I would be honored to share this legacy with you as you embark on this beautiful journey!

Best Wishes,
​Katlyn

I am a birth doula.
​
I am Katlyn Carter, doula, woman, mother, sister, and friend. The Navy has moved us all over the country, and we are blessed to currently call Washington home.  I grew up in a small town in southern Idaho in a ranching family with my 5 siblings.  I now live in Poulsbo with my husband, our 4 boys, a dog, 2 cats, a horse, 5 goats, and various other farm critters.  

Outside of my interest in birth and women's health, I can be found dabbling in triathlon, hiking in the Olympics, making soap, cooking what grows in our garden, homeschooling our kids, and spending time with family and friends.
