Kathleen M. Dowd is a Certified Nurse-Midwife and Nurse Practitioner with a Master's degree in Nursing and over 30 years in women's health. She's certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International. She started Gentle Touch Wellness after seeing too many patients rushed through appointments, and left with care that is disjointed and incomplete. Her approach is simple: to meet each client where they are and guide them with compassion and respect, trusting that they are the best stewards of their own health. Every client receives personalized care to find the path that’s right for them—not a generic protocol.
