There are many options you may choose for YOUR birth story.  A non-medicated birth,  an epidural, a home birth,  a birth center or hospital birth, planned c-section, hoping to avoid a c-section or if you have no specific plan at all, Kim can help!  Kim’s diverse training background will allow her to meet you where you are, and assist you to get where you wish to be. No matter your race, social economic status, religious preference Kim is comfortable to assist.

Kim has always possessed a desire to assist families to be as strong as they could be.  Having operated a home day-care and preschool for over 8year, she affectionately became known throughout the community as T.T. Kim.   

 

Kim also loves helping families plan their postpartum life(fourth trimester)  to be sure the transition is as manageable as possible for each member.  Bringing home a new baby (or babies) is a special undertaking.  Kim can assist you through the transition by keeping you focused on the moment, reminding  you of your options and ushering in practices and habits that encourage a healthy recovery.
