Practice overview
I have been a doula since 1997. I only take a couple of clients per year. Being a doula is not something I do...it's what I am.

Care philosophy
Everyone deserves to have the birth they want. That being said... I am not the doula for every person. I will do my best to find you the help that you need if it is something that I am unable to provide. This is your birth. In 25 years I have learned that I am the least important person in the room.

My assistant and I don't do Newborn sessions. We are way more happy with the idea of doing Fresh 48 Sessions. We will come to your home a couple of days after the baby is born and we’ll photograph you in your natural surroundings. We’ll step over piles. We’ll get you something to drink while you nurse your baby. We’ll read your older kids a book. We’ll listen to your birth story. We’ll listen.

January 6, 2021 at 8:59 am | Client reviewKim is and was absolutely incredible throughout all 3 of my pregnancies, labors and postpartum journeys. She is kind, considerate, professional and loving. She will support what YOU need and what is best for you and your child through it all without wavering. She is loyal and committed to making sure your birth go’s the way you want it to. She will be be whatever you need her to be in each moment and she is fantastic at reading your body language as to what. She was my empathetic hand holder when I needed it and my shoulders back Bull dog when I couldn’t be. I pray she is available if I ever have another baby.

We have related as instructor and trainee, back up partners in a doula practice and co-founders of a birth advocate group. She has amazing ideas, great communication skills and is a strong advocate for all of her clients.
