The Birth Matters Team is excited to introduce our newest member: Fully certified Postpartum Doula, Kristin Rhynolds.

Kristin’s passion for postpartum and perinatal support is deeply rooted in both her professional training and her own lived experience. After moving to Kamloops from Alberta 15 years ago to complete her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, she quickly fell in love with the beauty of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc land, the community, and (as it turns out) her now husband of 10 years.

Kristin is currently completing her Master of Counselling and hopes to continue working in the fertility and perinatal mental health field. Her own fertility and perinatal mental health journey profoundly shaped her path, sparking a deep commitment to walking alongside families during one of the most vulnerable and transformative seasons of life.

With a warm, client-centred approach, Kristin is passionate about creating inclusive, welcoming, and emotionally safe spaces for all families. She values genuine connection and believes every individual’s story, background, and experience deserves to be heard and honoured. Her work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect by meeting families exactly where they are at.

Kristin is also currently working as a substance use counsellor supporting youth in the community, a role that has further strengthened her dedication to mental health advocacy and inclusive care. She is nurturing by nature and finds joy in the small, meaningful acts of care such as dropping off meals, helping out with household tasks, babysitting, or simply sitting together with a warm cup of coffee and a listening ear.

Kristin and her husband have built their life in Kamloops and are raising their energetic four-year-old son alongside a very enthusiastic (and slightly chaotic) dog. When she’s not working, studying, or spending time with her family, you’ll most likely find her curled up with a good suspense/ psychological thriller novel with a cup of coffee in hand.

For Kristin, postpartum work is more than support—it’s about presence, connection, and gently walking beside families as they navigate this tender and significant transition.

Yesterday was Cesarean Birth Awareness Day

Let us say this clearly (and for the millionth time): if you had a cesarean birth, you gave birth. Full stop.

No matter how your baby enters the world, birth is birth.

And if you had a cesarean and hoped for a different experience, you’re allowed to hold two truths at once. You can be deeply grateful your baby is here - safe and healthy - and still grieve the birth you didn’t get. Both are real. Both are valid.

To all the sunroof babies: your parent(s) worked incredibly hard to bring you here. That was strength. That was sacrifice. That was birth.

And to anyone who says a cesarean is the “easy way out”? Yeah… hard disagree.

There’s a moment, when the calm sets in, when the rush quiets, the world softens, and you realize… you did it. You brought your baby earth side.
You didn’t just birth a baby, you birthed a new version of yourself. Stronger. Wiser. Wilder. Softer.
This isn’t just the beginning of their life. It’s the rebirth of you.
The version of you who trusted her body. Who showed up fully, fiercely.
