Biodynamic Birth

Birth isn’t certainty. It’s contemplation. Inquiry. Birth asks us to honor our imagination and intuition. You are not meant to know. But to wonder. Allow space for what is being rearranged inside of you. Birth is meant to move you into presence and trust.

My birth philosophy is rooted in biodynamics. By working in harmony with the cyclical energies of nature, we honor the innate intelligence of the female body, influenced by the moon, the planets and the stars. Birth is a sacred, spiritual rite of passage that strengthens connection to self, to community, and to the natural world. Biodynamic birth respects the unfolding of physiological birth, which is supported through deep presence, reverence, and care.

I am a holistic birth doula and birthkeeper. A space holder and shape shifter attuned to the mystery and movement of birth. My care is rooted in deep listening. I speak the language of the body, of breath, of instinct. I teach responsibility, not dependency. I support the mother in making choices with clarity and autonomy. I am skilled in prenatal and pelvic yoga, food as medicine, and breech body balancing. Together with hands-on healing and embodied consent, these dynamic forces cultivate vitality, trust, and coherence between womb and heart. I seek justice for babies, for bodies, for birth and give women permission to claim birth as wild, joyful, and expansive.

I am committed to the ongoing work of learning and unlearning, calling in community when needed, and showing up with presence. I work alongside a tapestry of birthkeepers in Santa Barbara––lactation consultants, pelvic floor therapists, bodyworkers, somatic healers, and psychologists––creating a web of holistic care to support you through the thresholds of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Birth with me
 

Biodynamic [birth] is so that every [birther] might source from within [their] own boundaries, all [their] own fertility needs that stream in from the cosmos.

  • Breech Body-Balancing is a gentle, holistic approach that supports babies in the breech position by encouraging optimal alignment and space within the womb. Rather than attempting to force the baby to turn, this practice focuses on releasing tension, restoring balance, and creating harmony in the body—especially within the pelvis, uterus, and surrounding ligaments.

    Using a combination of bodywork, movement, breath, and mindful positioning, breech body-balancing works with the body’s innate intelligence to promote ease and spaciousness. The goal is to help the baby find their own best position for birth, respecting the natural rhythms and timing of both mother and baby.

    This approach is supportive, non-invasive, and grounded in deep listening. This preparation can increase the likelihood of a successful and gentle ECV or spontaneous turning before it’s needed by:

    • Releasing tension in the uterus, ligaments, pelvis, and surrounding fascia, which may be restricting the baby's ability to move freely.

    • Creating optimal alignment and balance, making it easier for the baby to respond positively to the natural cues or to an ECV.

    • Improving uterine tone and symmetry, helping the uterus become more receptive and responsive to gentle repositioning.

    • Calming the nervous system, which supports hormonal balance and reduces adrenaline, allowing oxytocin and relaxation to support optimal fetal positioning.

    • Enhancing maternal-baby connection, helping the birthing person feel emotionally and intuitively connected to the baby’s process.

  • For women seeking to conceive naturally by focusing on whole-body preparation as an alternative to assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. It emphasizes restoring balance through nutrition, cycle tracking, stress management, and emotional well-being. With personalized guidance, practical lifestyle adjustments, and natural therapies, my holistic approach supports reproductive health in a grounded, accessible and affordable way. By working with your body’s natural rhythms you will optimize your fertility, creating a strong foundation for conscious conception.

  • Pelvic Care Yoga focuses on strength and stability exercises to support pelvic health in labor and birth, and to help heal pelvic imbalances postpartum including incontinence, prolapse, and painful sex. Each client receives a pelvic health assessment and education.

  • This is the most affordable option for families who do not wish to have a doula present at their birth, but would like holistic prenatal and postpartum support. This includes everything in the Birth Doula Care offering except continuous labor and birth support. In our visits we will create a birth plan, go over labor comfort measures and address prenatal/postpartum self care so you feel confident going into your birth.

    This may include prenatal yoga to prepare for labor and birth, and/or postpartum yoga sessions where we will go over movement and breathing exercises to support healing and recovery of your pelvic floor.

 

“Kylie is one of those people who brings with her a sense of calm. I'm a new mom and was really struggling with pelvic floor and overall posture issues. Kylie met with me weekly for pelvic floor therapy to understand what my problem areas were (physically and mentally) and what my ultimate goals were for recovery. Kylie provided detailed exercises and poses for me to practice on my own, regularly checking in with me on my progress. Kylie is extremely knowledgeable about the body – I cannot recommend Kylie enough!”
