Kiley Tkaczyk Birth & Postpartum Doula in Glendale, CA
About Kiley
Hi, I’m Kiley! I’m a Los Angeles based birth and postpartum doula, preconception coach, birth photographer and mother. With an extensive background spanning over a decade in healthcare, with a specific focus on women's health, family building and conception, paired with years immersed in the study of birth, my journey has evolved into a passionate exploration of the entire process from preconception to postpartum. Throughout my tenure, I experienced a profound paradigm shift, recognizing that there’s infinitely more to wellbeing than just the physiological aspects, prompting an exploration at a deeper level. This moment also ignited a connection to the initiation of childbirth and an enhanced reverence for the inherent strength within every woman. I perceive each birth as a sacred ceremony A powerful rite of passage that connects you to the cosmic forces of creation. I believe in bringing intention and presence to every phase of this journey, honoring that consciousness in preconception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum looks different for each individual. My work is about creating a dynamic in which you can discover what that means for you, so that are you well held, in full alignment with self.

Preconception Support
When trying to conceive, we often focus solely on tests and manipulating our bodies to get a specific outcome, believing that if we just control the physical aspects, everything will fall into place. But the truth is, there’s so much more to explore than lab results or hormone levels. My approach is a bit different - we explore fertility understanding how unresolved conflicts, emotional imprints, and subconscious patterns influence the body’s readiness for conception. We create the ideal internal environment for welcoming new life by harmonizing the mind body connection and addressing the biological programs at play. We’ll explore topics that go beyond typical fertility discussions, such as: Relationship dynamics, patterns that may be hindering
Postpartum Planning & Physiological Baby Care
A 90-minute virtual or in-person session designed to help you feel confident and prepared for the transition into postpartum and caring for your baby. Together, we’ll talk through practical postpartum planning, the early weeks at home, and foundational aspects of physiological baby care—including feeding, sleep, soothing, babywearing, and understanding your baby’s cues and biology. This is a personalized space to ask questions, prepare for what’s ahead, and create a postpartum approach that feels aligned with your family.
