“We have a secret in our culture, and it’s not that birth is painful. It’s that women are strong” – Ina May Gaskin
Our medical system is failing women. And for those planning to give birth in a hospital setting, your time with your care provider is limited. Doulas bridge the gap in your care by providing support throughout your pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. Evidence shows that continuous labor and birth support provided by doulas shortens labor time, reduces the rate of medical intervention and cesarean delivery, and leads to greater satisfaction with the overall birth experience. I am here to tell you that birth can be a beautiful, positive and empowering experience, and together we will prepare you so that you emerge feeling embodied, connected and whole.
Schedule a Complimentary Consultation with me to discuss my doula role in more detail and to see if we are the right fit. Our initial prenatal visit will allow me to get to know your family, your home, your specific needs and your birth preferences so that you feel supported throughout the whole process. I support clients in whatever birth setting they are most comfortable in, whether that is at home, in a birth center or at the hospital.
As a Certified Prenatal and Pelvic Floor Yoga Teacher I focus on functional movement and positions to support you through labor and birth, and to rebuild your core and pelvic floor strength postpartum. If you and/or your partner struggle with fertility issues, or are simply looking to optimize your health during your pregnancy, I offer nutrition and lifestyle guidence. If you need resources that are outside my scope of practice, I have an extensive network of birth workers who are happy to support you – it takes a village!

“Kylie is one of those people who brings with her a sense of calm. I'm a new mom who recently gave birth to my baby boy and was really struggling with pelvic floor and overall posture issues . Kylie met with me weekly for pelvic floor therapy. To start she did a detailed assessment with me to understand what my problem areas were (physically and mentally) and what my ultimate goals were for recovery. After doing the assessment she provided detailed exercises and poses for me to practice on my own. Each week we met Kylie would check in on my progress and see what was feeling good and what wasn't. If it weren't for her my pelvic floor would not be as strong as it is today and on the path to recovery. Kylie is extremely knowledgeable about the body and if there was ever a question I had that she wasn't able to answer, she always did her research to find a solution. I cannot recommend Kylie enough!”
