Heather Kleinhans is a faith-driven wife and mother. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Science from Arizona State University in 2010 and has worked in the therapy world, building her specialized clinical skills through continued education and service in efforts to support pediatric clientele with orofacial myofunctional and feeding disorders. She worked as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) in California for over 10 years, and in Arizona prior to that. Her passion was fueled by her own struggles with myofunctional and feeding disorders and her family’s experiences with delays and disorders. As a lifelong lover of learning and having seen firsthand how these delays and disorders impact quality of life for so many families, Heather continued her education and training as an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Infant-Toddler Feeding and Tethered Oral Ties Specialist to support families during the beginning of their life journey. Observing there was still a gap in support for families, she also became a (FDD) Certified Faith Driven Childbirth Educator and Doula with additional specialized (NDA) NICU Doula training and (C-ND) Certification. She is also a (CBWS) Certified Babywearing Educator/Consultant. Heather specializes in supporting a range of specific support needs, including trauma-informed care, support of those who are Neurodivergent or Disabled, and customized support for those impacted by stays in the NICU or pregnancy and infant loss. Heather firmly believes that new and growing families deserve evidence-based education, resources and ongoing support during such a foundational and vulnerable season. She considers it a privilege to be a part of their team, helping to alleviate stress and allowing them time and support for healing, connection, joy and developmentally aligned support during this beautiful season.

I’m Ekei, a birth and wellness professional devoted to nurturing, advocating for, and empowering families through every stage of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My calling began at 13, when I supported my sister during the birth of her child and first witnessed the sacred strength of bringing life into the world. I’m a RYT 200 Hatha Yoga Instructor, a Full Spectrum Doula trained through I Be Black Girl, and CPR-certified through the American Heart Association. I offer trauma-informed, culturally grounded care rooted in the legacy of my great-grandmother Naomi, “Moma”, and the Black Grand Midwives who served their communities with unmatched skill and compassion. Today, as a Birthworker, I support families of all backgrounds, especially Black, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent parents through yoga, birth planning, education, and hands-on doula care. My mission is simple: to make every birthing person feel safe, respected, and deeply supported. You are worth every petal
