What to expect

Kaiayo is a proud Queer Parent who did not benefit from having adequate support prenatally, during birth and postpartum when they had their children. Inspired by their own experience, Kaiayo humbly offers inclusive and compassionate midwifery care to all families. Kaiayo defines families as young parents, solo parents, partnered parents, adoptive or foster parents, polyamorous parents, etc. They specialize in serving families that are BIPOC, QTBIPOC or LGBTQIA2S+. Kindred Soul Midwifery will begin taking clients in 2027.
