Caitlin Escobedo

Hi, I am a Parent Educator, Montessori Guide, and Doula. But before any of that, I am a partner to Matt and Elle’s mom. Elle just turned four, which means our days are pretty chaotic!

Life is messy - but so am I! I enjoy being with my family, listening to spicy books on the Libby app, and playing DnD and various board games. You can also catch me watching The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City!

My professional journey started in Montessori classrooms, where I discovered the power of slowing down, observing, and truly seeing children for who they are. Over time, I realized parents needed just as much support as their little ones—especially in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. That’s what led me into birth work and parent education: weaving together Montessori principles with doula support so parents feel confident, cared for, and less alone in the most tender season of life.

At the heart of it all, my work is about this: making sure parents feel held while they learn to hold their children. You don’t have to do it all on your own—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you grow your family.

I am a certified Birth Doula & Childbirth Educator through BEST Doula Training.

I also have my 0-3 Infant/Toddler Teaching Certification through the American Montessori Society.
