Hi there, I’m Kim! I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and perinatal yoga therapist.

My passion for birth work emerged during my second pregnancy, as I prepared for my daughter, Simone’s, home birth after cesarean (HBAC). My first child, Andre, was born by planned cesarean due to breech positioning, and while his birth was neither complicated nor traumatic, I felt robbed of my choices and wished for a birth experience that felt collaborative and empowering. The support and education I received from my birth team the second time around, as well as through my own research and self-study gave me the agency and assurance that my choice to pursue a HBAC was the right one for me and my family. This courage to follow my intuition, along with my dedication to physically and mentally prepare for the birth of my choice, will forever be one of my proudest achievements. It can be yours too.

In addition to being certified as a doula and childbirth educator, I have a masters degree in yoga therapy with a special interest in using the practices of yoga to improve the well-being of women during pregnancy, the postpartum period, and beyond. By combining yoga and birth work, I have a unique scope of practice that can not only educate and empower you towards your ideal birth, but also offer tools and practices that can help you connect with your own inner peace, healing and resilience. Each birth, as well as our experience throughout motherhood is unique and ever-changing. You deserve to be seen and supported based on your individual needs and desires, and it is my aim to offer this kind of care. I look forward to meeting you and would be honored to support you throughout this transformational time.
