About Us

Hi, I’m Angela. I’ve been pregnancy and birth obsessed since childhood. Back when I used to perform pretend ultrasounds on my cousin using an old black and white tv and a roll-on bottle of Teen Spirit deodorant!

When I became pregnant with my first child in 2011, I took a deep dive on all things birth related. I took childbirth classes with a doula and hired her to support me through labor and birth. My sons birth was transformative, I felt so empowered and supported. I wanted all people giving birth to feel that way and I couldn’t imagine leaving my sweet baby to do anything else. I started my doula training in 2012 and supported clients through another of my own pregnancies. My second son was born at home into his dads hands in 2014.

I am a graduate of the The National Midwifery Institute, a Certified Professional Midwife and am licensed by the Medical Board of California. My lifelong passion is supporting people though this life changing event. I feel it’s truly a privilege to be able to do this work and to honor the journey through pregnancy, birth and into parenthood.

I live on the border of Martinez and Pleasant Hill with my husband, kids and dogs. When I’m not serving clients you can find me in my garden, camping or planning our next family trip.

I’m Kathryn, and I have been supporting people though pregnancy and birth since 2004, professionally since 2013. I am privileged to now support families as a midwife.  I birthed two of my babies at home with a midwife, and one was born by cesarean at Alta Bates. I live in Oakley with my partner, kids, three cats, and a growing collection of plants.

My passion is helping parents find joy and ease in the major transitions that are birth and parenting. I’m a book nerd and science enthusiast. In school, I excelled in biology and chemistry and love applying that knowledge to the world of herbs and traditional medicine. I am also a graduate of the The National Midwifery Institute, a Certified Professional Midwife and am licensed by the Medical Board of California.

Fun Fact: I have an associates degree in Automotive Technology. I fixed cars until I was 8 months pregnant with my first child. I planned on owning an auto repair shop someday. Becoming a parent sure is transformative!
