✨ Meet Kayla! ✨
We’re so excited to welcome Kayla Cushner, CNM, MSN, RN (she/her) to the Nurture team! With over 12 years of experience, Kayla is a Certified Nurse Midwife who provides integrative, personalized care at every stage of life—from puberty and fertility to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond.
Kayla blends Western medicine with holistic, evidence-based approaches, ensuring her patients feel heard, supported, and empowered to take charge of their health. She’s particularly passionate about fertility and preconception support, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and menopause management—as well as working with teens and young adults as they begin advocating for their own wellness.
Originally from Boston, Kayla earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Yale School of Nursing and has been practicing midwifery in Santa Cruz since 2016. Outside of work, she’s a mom to two energetic boys, loves exploring the beaches and trails of Santa Cruz, and values strong female friendships—because community is everything!
