Kim Sabin (she/her)

I believe that birth and postpartum experiences are not one-size-fits-all. You deserve custom care that is tailored to your specific needs and wants. You are in (and remain in) control.

My goal as a birthworker is to nurture the autonomy and confidence of parents, and I firmly believe that every individual deserves to be seen, respected, and supported on their unique journey. This means that I center client advocacy and empowerment in my work by providing evidence-based education and individualized unbiased support throughout this experience. I am passionate about supporting growing families and approach my work with a balance of tenderness, passion, and a good sense of humor.

As a birth doula, I want you to be informed, in control, and supported. I believe in you and your body. I believe you are strong and courageous. I believe in trusting the process and surrounding yourself with love, warmth, encouragement, kindness, and serenity. Birth is a magical and transformative time in your life, your partner’s life, and your baby’s life. I want you to feel respected and relaxed at your birth. I want your birth to be a pleasant memory that you carry with you for the rest of your life and are happy to share with others. 

As a postpartum doula, I love connecting with families and supporting their transition to life with a newborn. Those first few weeks are precious, and I aim to make them as smooth as possible! I am passionate about the health and safety of newborns plus the wellbeing of the parents during the postpartum period. I believe in a mind, soul, body/holistic approach and encourage clients to tap into their intuition to help in your decision-making process.
