About Kimberly Rivers

I am a Birthing From Within Childbirth Mentor and Certified Doula. I felt called to this work after my experience of birth. I was so blessed to have found wonderful care and support for my birth and felt drawn to be a resource for other women.

For the past few years I have done ongoing and advanced training through Birthing From Within and with Pam England. I have continued to attend workshops & trainings on various topics related to birth and supporting women and families on their birth journeys.

As I work with parents I continue to gain a deeper understanding of the unique way that each person experiences the journey of birth. I have supported different types of families preparing & planning for different types of births, including home births, hospital births, cesarean births, water births, vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC), birth of twins and others.

I offer Birth Doula (labor support) services, and Childbirth Mentoring through the Birthing From Within childbirth classes and retreats that I offer.
