Sage K. | Doula in Port Orchard, WA

Conjuring Moments Birthwork

    Practice overview

    With the traumatic birth of my son, I became intimately familiar with how American healthcare fails people with the capacity for pregnancy. Having lacked support or education of any kind during the process, I now seek to guide clients through a far more positive experience, one that aligns with both the wants of the birthing-person as well as the health of parent and child.

    I am currently enrolled in Whole Body Pregnancy Childbirth Educator Training, as well as Childbirth Professionals International Doula Training. Having prior experience in doula work and successful births under my belt, I plan to continue my education to grow and better their understanding of the field.

    Care philosophy

    I believe birth is sacred, a gift given by our ancestors that deserves the utmost care and respect. My focus is to serve those that are the most vulnerable to the harm caused by our medical system, which includes people of the global majority, queer and trans parents, and disabled parents. I have a trans son, and another son born to a trans father. Families are diverse. Birth is no different.

      I am physically disabled, due to a back injury from high school. When I conceived my son, I knew I would need support, as my family didn’t approve. When I hired her for support for my pregnancy and c-section, I wanted to choose someone who had been through it and could help me with what I should expect. She went above and beyond. Not only helping me prepare for the surgery, but helping to prepare our home, the baby’s space, supporting us from the moment we were in the hospital until after the delivery, even helping to keep the room calm when our parents, step parents, and siblings were visiting.

      She has been amazing with helping our family prepare for this birth even with being long distance. She has provided my husband and I resources on how to prepare for my anticipated vbac, sent us videos and learning materials to help with stress and when I was confined to the hospital for a week she was on call for me even if I just needed to have someone to talk to day or night. I even recommended her to a friend who is a first time mom.

      Sage is one of the most empathetic and caring human beings I have had the pleasure of working with. Their humility while working with clients is unmatched, willing to admit when they need to more thoroughly research something, and also able to provide logical alternatives based on client demographics. They take the time to consider the clients wants and needs to give them the best birth experience they can have. Their care for each unique pregnancy has helped over a dozen families as they transition into their new lives. Sage is also an amazing collaborator, focused on working as a peer, rather than as the expert. Every opportunity to work with them I welcome with delight, as I know the environment will be a relaxing, affirming, and safe environment.

      Sage is one of those people that it’s just so easy to connect with, you forget you haven’t been old friends for years. Birth is terrifying, the education system is lacking and at least where I grew up, wasn’t really talked about. So trying to navigate both the lack of information out there, as well as misinformation is hard enough as it is – let alone being pregnant in the process. To have that level of connection with someone as they guided me through pregnancy, delivery, and especially postpartum support was a blessing, and I feel like there’s not enough words in the world to express that adequately. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula, Sage is a gift to anyone their working with.

      Sage was initially hired as a birth doula, but not far into my partner’s pregnancy, they miscarried. Sage’s support as a doula and experience with their own miscarriages was really amazing. I’d never been through anything like that, and neither had my wife. They did so well helping show me how to be supportive, and making space for me to grieve by myself and with my wife. I don’t know that there’s anything better they could have done to support our family. If we decide to try again, she’s definitely our doula.

      Sage was my primary support while giving birth to my son. As a transman, the concept of giving birth in a traditional hospital setting was honestly kind of terrifying. Sage helped to keep me comfortable, keep labor going, and keep the staff from misgendering or dead naming me. I don’t plan to have any more kids, but if I do, I hope she’s there.
