All that is required…truly required to help another person is love.

“When a baby is born in an environment of peace...when a woman is believed and loved and encouraged during her time of birth, when mom and babe are honored as accomplished journeymen , the result can only be a certain strength and hope that transcends all the doubt and fear that family life will present.”

-Katherine Bramhall

Kind Words

  • Makes me want to have a third child

    "There are so many wonderful things I can say about Katherine, but I think the best way to sum up her love, grace, tenderness, and wisdom is to simply say this:  Katherine almost makes me want to have a third child, just to be able to visit with her more often... almost"

    -Katie Chivington

  • I feel better prepared on this journey

    “...I also appreciate fully, the intimate care and regard you have given me, from encouraging my full openness to my emotions, physical experience and all realms of energetic health and well-being.  I feel better prepared on this journey as you’ve walked along with us.”

    -J.

  • My entire existence has changed in profound ways

    "...In the short time that we've known each other, my entire existence has changed in profound ways. You helped me find my inner strength. The strength I always had but was buried deep within me. I learned to trust myself and to listen to the whispers inside. They guided me to make decisions for myself without regard for those who may disagree."

    -Becky

  • She nurtured my soul as well

    "Katherine was amazing during my home birth experience. I wish I had all three of my children at home as she not only helped me deliver my baby, but she nurtured my soul as well. Katherine gives the whole woman care, not only physical care, but spiritual care. I couldn't have been happier with my home birth experience. Thank you Katherine! We love you!" 

    -Angelina

  • I was able to give birth to my daughter in exactly the way I wished with absolutely no regrets

    "...I also want to thank you for helping me make my dream a reality. When I first came to you I did not fully believe it was possible for me to have a vaginal birth, let alone at home after my cesarean first birth. You gave me a prenatal experience where I was well-informed, intimately involved in decision-making and fully at choice. I was able to give birth to my daughter in exactly the way I wished with absolutely no regrets."

    -H.

  • Gave us such a positive start in our lives and our new family

    “…We are so lucky to have found you and your practice. Your peaceful and loving demeanor is contagious. You helped me be incredibly confident in labor, and I know my husband would have had a very hard time without your support of him. In the end, even though I had to go to the hospital for my birth, your strength beside us reinforced our optimism, patience and courage which gave us such a positive start in our lives and our new family.” 

    -E.

  • Our family was wholly impressed and forever touched by Katherine's love and care

    "We found a wise and courageous caregiver in Katherine. Our sweet boy, Theo Sailor was born at home on the last day of 2011 after just a few short hours of labor. Katherine arrived in the nick of time, and caught our babe. Our family was wholly impressed and forever touched by Katherine's love and care."

    - Stephanie Daugherty-Dennis

  • Thank you for the voids you fill and our son’s Gentle Landing

    "To find such a person to enhance a glorious life experience as having a son born naturally in the home is not mere luck, but a true blessing. What might have been an impersonal institutional event controlled by others was instead tailored desires of mother and family.  Thank you, thank you Katherine for who you are, the voids you fill and our son’s Gentle Landing. "
