About me

Hello....My name is Kelly Sunshine and I have been a birth doula for over 12 years supporting more than 1150 births in the Phoenix Metro area. I work with clients delivering in any hospital, birth center or home environment. In the hospital setting I work well with health care providers and feel that I walk that fine line between respecting the hospital staff and their regulations and yet still help my mamas have the birth of their dreams. With a little hard work, patience and showing respect we can achieve the birth you desire....while still in a hospital setting! I have wonderful recommendations for both OB providers, midwifes and natural friendly hospitals in the valley. I also work with many of the local home birth midwifes and know that having a doula even in a home birth setting is so valuable. Please reach out to see if myself or one of the other doulas on our team are a good fit for you!

I would give Kelly all the stars in the world, she took me on as a client 2 weeks before my due date even though she was completely booked up. She made my birth experience for my husband and I such a blessing and I would have NEVER been able to go unmedicated without her. Laboring at home and knowing when to go to the hospital, helping with different laboring positions to her helping me apply counter pressure on my back during contractions and telling me I can do this when I wanted to give up were only a few ways she helped me through my labor. We love you Kelly!! Highly recommend - The Rubinos
