yay you're here!

yay you're here!

Hi! I’m Kimberly.

My first birth. My “oldest” little brother was born on our living room floor in Torrance, California, 1981.

A little about me…

When I was 10 years old my mother gave me her tattered copy of Spiritual Midwifery and asked me to support her in the birth of my 4th sibling. I had already experienced the loss of my twin siblings, and was madly in love with my three brothers. I knew a life of babies, mothering, and caretaking from very early on. Growing up in Ojai, California, we spent much of our time on our land, driving the mountain pass to the beach in Carpinteria, and exploring the neighborhood on bikes as kids do. My world revolved around my siblings and supporting my mother the best I could. She was certainly my first teacher into the world of womanhood. And, I think this sums me up pretty well! I could bore you with a list of certifications, and schooling, but I feel that they are less representative of me than the vision I give you of me as a girl, holding my mother’s leg as she pushed my little sister into the world in a small birth center in Ojai. And then a mere 9 years later, my mother was there, holding my leg, as I pushed my first child into the world, at 20 years old. While some of my education has proven to be helpful, and important, so much of my work, of doula work, is not only learned “on the job,” but is truly taught through witnessing in and of itself. So, the list below is just a small sample of some of the continuing education I have participated in, but is certainly not all.

I am indebted to the families that have trusted me to walk along side them here in my hometown of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. And just as grateful to my own family who have all allowed me to serve our community with their support and patience.

As of 2026, I will be taking limited birth clients, and referring placentas to some wonderful doulas in town.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I love questions, and I love hearing from people.

Thanks for being here, I’m really happy you are. Onward.

Work with me!

To me, being a doula isn't something you become, but something you already are. It is an existence within yourself you unearth. I feel this way about a lot of the roles we play in life. Much of adult life is unlearning what we think we know in order to find more of our innate childhood gifts. Doula work is not just a simple profession, it is a way of life. It is vital, and transcendent. It has brought me to profound grief, acceptance, and love.

Doula work is not just about birthing babies, it is about the liminal space between birth and death, and ushering in the greatest gift of all: motherhood.

It is walking this path with other women, as it has been done since the beginning of time. It is an opportunity for great heartbreak. For an unraveling, and a restitching of self. It is cesareans, and home-birth, it is ultrasounds, and free birth. It is miscarriage, and bottle feeding, and breastfeeding, and mental health. It is facing your fears, your deepest wounds, and learning to override outside voices so that you can truly find your own.

Birth matters, as does your experience through it.

No matter where you are at on the journey to parenthood, I hope for you a deep surrender into the wildest love you could ever conceive. Witnessing the blood, the salty tears, the wild eyed look right before crowning; it’s there I see God in the wings.

Education, integration, birth, postpartum.

My doula is work has a deep focus on your specific lived experience. Your goals and hopes are often a reflection of how you have grown up, how you see the world, and how you view your own body and worth. In other words, I really love getting to know you. Birth is wildly unpredictable in many ways, but in other ways it’s also not. I use an empathetic, and experienced lens in order to help guide you in pregnancy, and eventually in birth and then into the foray of postpartum. Much like life, doula work is not one sized fits all. Reach out to chat more about what your needs are, and if I’m not the right fit, I am always happy to share the information of my colleagues and friends in town.

I offer a consultation via phone or in person to chat about all the important things- like your dreams! Goals! Fears! Or to help you decide on a provider, and so much more. And to go over pricing of course, and what I bring to the table. xoxo 

Pricing for my services varies, so please email or call to set up a consult.

I do not take insurance of any kind, but I do take Carrot, FSA, and HSA.
