WHO AM I?
I am a *full-spectrum* Birthkeeper serving Braxton & surrounding areas
I prefer to keep my travel within an hour's radius
I will extend to two based on service commitments already in place
As a free birth mama, I support those making the best choices for their families
I will ALWAYS support and encourage the right to *Informed* consent AND denial
Many will say that we shouldn't let our own personal bias determine our services
I disagree. I think it is what makes us better supports for those that need us
~ That being said ~
I do not provide post-circumcision or post-vaccine care in my postpartum support services.
If you're curious; I'd love to discuss why
​
My name is Kay
I'm a mama to seven beautiful children
It has been an honor watching the six still here grow
​My family is my pride
We are a homeschooling, homesteading, [mostly] holistically living house of hope.
​For all that is natural and normal I'm not you're average, ordinary bear
I take pride in my non-conformist family
You may see me with crazy hair, tattoos, piercings
Perhaps blasting some questionable music
But I promise I've got a heart of GOLD and I will love you and your family with
*all of it*
​I grew up in Northern Virginia - Spent years living in New Jersey and Maryland
Before finally coming to Central West Virginia to put down roots
Now I can really begin my focus of serving your beautiful families​
I have dedicated almost half my life to self-study in all things natural living
Holistic Health - Biological Parenting - Psychophysiological Birth
It is my greatest passion to provide this valuable information
I hope you can take the reigns in creating healthier lives for yourself and your family
