Kimberly is an amazing person, and a huge help to have on your birthing team. From the moment my husband and i first spoke to her we were impressed by her knowledge, wisdom and strength. Throughout my pregnancy our meetings with her provided comfort, and taught us everything we needed to know about birth. I felt so incredibly prepared and empowered because of our time with her. Kimberly continues to check up on us and our baby, and we are only sad to not get to see her as often.

I had the privilege of having Kimberly as my doula, and I am incredibly grateful for her compassion and support. I highly recommend Kimberly to anyone seeking a doula who is not only skilled but also compassionate and committed to empowering births. She made a lasting impact, and I'm forever grateful for her support.

We worked with Kimberly for the birth of our first daughter in April. We spoke with many doulas before selecting the one we felt was the best fit but It was an easy decision for us the moment we met kimberly. She brings so much knowledge, comfort, and support to every conversation. The information she gave us prior to birth prepared us in every way to build the perfect birth plan but also helped us manage our expectations incase things needed to change along the way (as they tend to do!) What we appreciated most was her amazing support during a few moments of uncertainty we had with our doctor ahead of birth. She kept us sane and our heads on straight. Another thing to note was how supported she made my husband feel. He was more nervous than me throughout the process and Kimberly had a perfect approach with him to make him feel important, heard, and not alone. We would recommend her doula services to anyone and everyone. She’s the absolute best!

I’m grateful to have found Kimberly. She was so helpful throughout the prenatal, postnatal and delivery process. She put my mind at ease, was a wealth of valuable information and, most importantly, ensured my delivery went so smoothly!

We had a great experience with Kimberly as our doula. Our daughter was born at the Long Beach Birth Center after a long 43 hours of labor and Kimberly was by our side the whole time! She’s very experienced and has a wealth of knowledge regarding natural births. We are beyond grateful for her outstanding work and commitment to our lovely (longgg) birth :)

Kimberly was amazing and an integral part of my birth. I genuinely believe her presence brought about the peace and comfort that was exactly what I needed. It was so nice having another woman who understood what was needed and when. Of course my husband was such a great support, but having someone who’s been through it guiding you can make your experience so much better. At no point did her presence feel unnecessary, if anything, we didn’t want her to leave! I can’t thank her enough for always being available for questions, concerns or just guidance.

I reached out to Kim in my third trimester looking for support, guidance and advocacy for my first birthing experience and she was truly amazing throughout the entire journey. She provided info & resources for my husband and I to be able to make informed decisions and helped us formulate a birth plan. She was always there for me to reach out to which was especially important when I started going into labor on and off again and didn’t know what to expect. She lent us some great tools that helped provide relief during labor and showed my husband how to help me through it. Her support at the hospital also helped us both out so much! She gave me encouragement, applied counter pressure through the labor pain and tapped in when my husband needed to tap out. She helped make the space calming with essential oils, mood lighting and a sound machine and she helped me advocate for myself to naturally let my water break when I felt pressured by the doctors to manually break it. We ended up needing vacuum assistance during delivery which was an intense experience but during our postpartum visit she helped me process everything and was such a supportive ear for me to talk to. And she took the sweetest photos of me, my husband and our baby girl right after birth! She really became like a friend that helped guide me through my first birth experience and I’m forever grateful for her!

Kimberly was amazing to work with. My partner and I found her late in our pregnancy and she made sure to be there for us as much as she could in the little time we had together. We had to use her back up services as well for a little bit, and it was reassuring that we were always in good hands even when plans changed slightly. She really cared about the vision my partner and I had for our delivery and was really supportive throughout the labor. What really stood out to me about Kimberly, were her values on equality in healthcare and providing doula services to all those who want it.

Our birth was a beautiful experience thanks to Kimberly. We don’t have words enough to thank her. She is professional, determined and she made sure we were treated respectfully at all times. She never left my side and made sure I was ok. Not just me, but my husband felt supported too. Together we made a beautiful team. I would recommend her over and over.

Kimberly is wonderful. We hired her as our night doula to look after our little baby girl and she was great with her. I hired other night doulas and fired them on the job because I didn’t feel like they knew how to care for my little one. Kimberly has empathy, she just has a way with babies and when you meet her you know you can trust her. Someone has to have a lot of patience, strength and love for their job to do what she does and I can tell she has all the best qualities and is perfect at it. You can trust your little one in her hands and I would trust her as a birth doula too because the same qualities are required.
