Hi! My name is Kylie and I am so excited to get to know you. Some quick fun facts about me:
I love all things Disney and am fully bought in on the magic of pixie dust.
I love almost any kind of tea (hot or cold) and will always pick that over coffee.
My husband Trace and I live in the Seattle area with our dog Belle and LOVE exploring new dog parks and dog friendly trails.
I have been passionate birth work since college and almost went to grad school for a degree in Public Health - Maternal & Infant Health.
I can’t wait to meet you!
There is such a special sweetness in being able to participate in such a crucial and vulnerable time in your lives and I consider it such an honor to be invited in.
Key Tenants
I believe you are Beloved
I provide support and resources to all birthing people. I am actively working to create an environment within my relationships and community where families of all races, belief systems/religions, marital status, income, age, cultures, gender identity or sexuality feel seen, heard, respected, and safe.
I am your fiercest advocate
You have your own voice and I want to honor and amplify you.
I work to make sure that
Your voice is heard
The preferences and values that are important to you and your family are respected
Decisions are not being made for you
Your care team is actively engaging with you
So that you can make autonomous choices about your birth, your body, and your baby.
I trust you & your body
I have a firm belief that every part of what you feel & what you experience are real and valid. Every choice that you make is the best choice for you and your baby and you are the most reliable source of information on your own process! I believe in your strength, capacity and voice. I will listen and make space for you.
I am your witness
This is your journey and no one else’s. I see you and stand with you as you navigate this process. I am present with you both physically and emotionally as you live through your own experience of pregnancy, birth and early parenting.
I believe your experience matters
And great support makes all the difference. There’s more to it than just producing a healthy baby. This is a chapter that you will remember for the rest of your life. I want to help you achieve an empowering and satisfying birth and strong postpartum start.
