About Me
Hello, I’m Kianna!
I’m a mama of two sweet little ones, a lover of the earth, coffee, knitting, and art—and above all, I’m a woman of deep faith. My heart is passionate about supporting expecting families, guiding them with care, wisdom, and a lot of love, so they can feel empowered and supported through every step of their journey.
My journey into the birth world began years ago when I was pursuing a nursing degree with dreams of working in labor and delivery. But it wasn’t until the births of my own children that I truly understood the life-changing importance of feeling supported, heard, and fully educated during birth. That awakening led me to the beautiful world of birth doula work—an incredible path that allows me to hold space for families and offer them the nurturing support they deserve. It’s also the reason Nurtured Root + Co. was born: to create a space where families feel cared for, listened to, and empowered as they bring new life into the world.
My goal is simple: to help expecting families navigate their birth with confidence, peace, and trust in their own strength. I approach birth work with a holistic mindset—offering education, movement, breath work, nervous system regulation, and herbalism, while always honoring your individual needs and desires and to aid in the overall comfort of life with mindfulness and breath work through yoga. My promise is to meet you where you’re at, to listen deeply to your hopes and wishes, and to provide you with tools and support to make your experience as empowering and peaceful as possible.
Together, we’ll build a strong connection before your birth, so I can understand your unique vision for your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. I’m here to offer you guidance, answer your questions, and provide resources—whether you’re feeling confident or uncertain, excited or anxious. Every step of the way, I’m here for you.
