Kelly Bessette

Kelly is a social worker and postpartum doula based in Addison County. With personal experience navigating postpartum depression while raising two children (5 & 7), Kelly knows firsthand how isolating the early months of motherhood can be—especially during COVID-19 when support systems and group resources were limited.

Recognizing that she was not alone in her struggles, she was inspired to create a postpartum support group to help other moms find connection, understanding, and meaning during this challenging season of life. Kelly brings compassion, insight, and a strong dedication to helping women feel supported and empowered.

She is passionate about building community for postpartum moms in Addison County, a region where resources for new parents are limited. Kelly hopes to obtain her LCSW to offer therapy, including walk-and-talk sessions, combining her social work expertise with the support she provides as a doula. When she’s not facilitating groups, she enjoys hiking, family photography, traveling, coffee, and spending time with family and friends.
