Latched By Kimberly will not be taking new clients for 2025 due to other projects and training! Thank you all for a great year in 2024! ❤️

What a blessing it has been to be able to show the successes my small private practice has been able to achieve for 2024. Mind you, these are definitely not the stats of most of my go-getter colleagues, since I have also devoted most of this year to being the best stay-at-home mom and wifey I could be!
It is definitely not the easiest to refer potential clients to others, but family and my own health will certainly always take a priority.
I am super blessed to be able to do the work I do and have the support from my husband, family and friends, who without them, I could never get my doula on, lol.
Call outs in the middle of the night, marathon births, and all the in between lactation visits need much more than just my support, but those in my circle. I am honored to have the BEST clients who have trusted me to be there with them through allll the things and be a witness their own successes. I don't always have the right answer, which has been known to hit my heart a bit hard this year, but 2025 will hopefully be a testament and motivation to never stop learning or challenging myself. This job truly is fun, ya'll. ❤️
Happy New Year!!

I am still in awe of the incredible home birth my clients were able to experience recently. From the first contraction to holding her precious baby in her arms, everything unfolded with such strength and in just 5 hours!

It was truly an honor to witness the confidence hold strong — to trust in the process and her body's natural ability to bring life into the world was inspiring. Surrounded by love, support, and the comfort of her own home, she embraced the journey with such determination and courage.

Birth is unpredictable, but with preparation, trust, and a supportive team, anything is possible. I am beyond grateful to have been part of this beautiful story. 💫

Welcome to the world, sweet Clay! 💕

Birth comes in many forms, and every single one is powerful and beautiful! This beautiful mama rocked her planned cesarean with strength, courage, and grace. 💪✨ It's a reminder that no matter how your baby arrives, it’s still a birth, and it's still the start of an incredible new chapter. I’m so proud of her for embracing her journey and trusting the process. Every birth story is unique, and every one deserves to be celebrated. 🙌🏾💖

Every birth is unique, and every mama's journey is one of incredible strength. I had the absolute honor of supporting this baby’s amazing mama through her birth, and she handled it with such grace, courage, and power! Watching her bring new life into the world was nothing short of inspiring. She embraced every moment, and I am so proud of the hard work and love she poured into her experience. 💕 Thank you for trusting me to be a part of your beautiful journey.
