Katrina Leary

Born and raised along the Kuskokwim River, Katrina is Yup'ik and Athabaskan from Bethel and Napaimute, Alaska. Katrina is named after the late Katrina Aloysius of Upper Kalskag, and currently resides in Anchorage with her husband and daughter, Charlie.

Birthwork strongly called to Katrina after experiencing the struggles of growing and birthing her own daughter. Katrina has a passion to apply her cultural upbringing and knowledge to her role as a parent and along her journey, became inspired by helping other women to do the same. In October of 2022, Katrina completed the Indigenous Childbirth Educator Training.
