My Story

My Philosophy

Hello, my name is Kimber Brown. I am one of nine children, raised in Lake Stevens, WA. I graduated high school with my cosmetology license. Two years later, I earned my private pilot's license. Since a career wasn't a priority to me; I married and now reside in Granite Falls with my husband and four children. My family is my most precious possession.

I am fascinated with languages and cultures. While raising my children, I've studied Spanish for 12 years with Rosetta Stone and Living Language. I wish I could say I was fluent, but I have not been immersed in the language. I'm now taking spanish classes at EvCC and absolutely love it since the language isn't completely foreign to me.

In my spare time I enjoy gardening, occasionally sewing, and cutting hair for a few clients. I exercise daily with Hot Hula. I feel as though my pelvic floor has been strengthened through these exercises. I also disolve 1/4 tsp xylitol in water instead of U-tract for bladder health. I wish I'd owned a menstrual cup years ago!

My Training

There's a great need for doulas. Since the beginning, ancient artwork show women being supported by women during labor and birth. Statistics show there are less complications, less interventions, and shorter labors when accompanied by a doula. Many people want a doula but feel they can't afford one. Costs for a doula do vary geographically and economically.

Here are some creative ideas to fund your doula of choice:

Distant relatives who want to help somehow, but can't be present in person
A health flexible spending account (FSA)
Start a donation fund for friends and family

I received my professional doula training in Seattle with

Carrie Kenner over a 7 week period. I'm working toward certification with Dona International. I'm prepared to attend medicated and unmedicated births, v-bacs, as well as cesarean births. I'm able to accompany births at home, in hospitals and in birth centers. I have also received training to support families in grief.

He estudiando espanol durante doce anos pero todavia no tengo fluidez.

If you feel you can't afford my fee as stated in my contract, I am willing to negotiate what you feel you can afford or what we both feel my time is worth. In rare cases, I can offer my services free of charge.
