Helping women work with their bodies and learn how strong they are during childbirth is my most treasured role so far in this lifetime. I love supporting women throughout their pregnancies, teaching them to listen to their bodies, and helping them feel empowered during labor and delivery. I’ve been a certified Birth Doula for 6 years (now certified under Birth Boot Camp) and a Licensed Massage Therapist for 9 years. My duty is to provide a continuous source of comfort, encouragement, and support, both emotional and physical, during labor. My goal is to help families have a safe, healthy, positive labor experience. Whether your goal is to be educated and well-prepared before your birth, to have comfort and relief during your pregnancy, to reduce medical intervention during birth or you simply want support during labor and delivery, I am happy to help you have the birth that YOU desire. During your labor and delivery, I will serve as a voice of experience, help you with relaxation so you can work with your body during the labor process, advise you on different labor positions, and offer non-medical pain management techniques. Let’s talk about how I can help you have the birth experience that you want!

After my first daughter was born, I had a goal to have an unmedicated natural labor. I found Kim though many recommendations, and I am so happy I did! she helped me reach my goal by being a calm, supportive presence. She was there throughout the whole labor. She was there to speak for me when I couldn't speak for myself, kept me calm an encouraged me when I felt I couldn't go any further, and was constantly creative to help me through my labor when we hit snags with progression. I am so grateful for Kim and our friendship we have developed and 1000% recommend her to anyone who needs support during their pregnancy and labor.
