KC Johnston, LMP, LCCE
Prenatal Massage Therapist, Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator
Birth is a profound and amazing moment in a woman's life and it's an honor every time I am allowed to share in that moment. I come to each birth with respect and awe. I bring my knowledge, my experience, and my heart. I am honest and compassionate, and believe with these things I am able to support and nurture each woman through her journey. It is my hope that every woman will leave her birth feeling empowered and supported, and that every couple will be brought closer together because of this experience.
I believe in the midwifery model of care which states that "pregnancy and birth are normal life processes." This woman-centered approach to prenatal care and birth support has been shown to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section. As a doula I support the mother, not the birth. I will be there for you no matter what type of birth you are choosing.
I gladly work with couples or individuals, from all backgrounds, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or people who find themselves somewhere in the middle on the gender spectrum. I will support you without judgement and with full respect for who you are, I appreciate our differences and will encourage you to make your birth as personal to you as possible.
