Kathie Neff, Childbirth Educator, Doula, and Birth Story Listener
CCE(BFW), CD(DONA), Lifestyle Educator(KP), CLEC(UCSD)
It has been my privilege to journey with parents for the last 7 years as a Certified Birthing From Within Childbirth Educator. The years I spent assisting at births, as a certified DONA doula since 2011, have informed my work with birthing families. At this time, my primary offerings are Doula Services, Online Childbirth Classes, Birth Coaching, Infant Feeding Consultations, and Birth Story Listening Sessions.
My work as a Childbirth Mentor enhances my growth as a human being and expands my inner spirit. Each set of parents, or class of new parents, come to me as both students and teachers since I learn something new each time I enter into the process.
Continuing education as a mentor keeps me centered in deep, insightful reading and experiences that include Great Stories & Myths and folklore from all ages. Training opportunities bring me to many life-enhancing retreats, mentor gatherings and continuous conversations that deepen my work.
When I am not teaching, or at a birth, I enjoy writing, collage art, cooking, and my huge, wonderful family. A resident of Riverside, CA for over fifty years, I still love the newness of a spring morning with bright blue skies and the sights & sounds of nature that awaken within me a growing sense of life’s gifts.

BIRTH STORY LISTENING SESSIONS
The Birth Story Listening process helps you to work with challenges you met in your birth. Appointments by phone or in person.
A gentle, yet powerful, process to explore challenges that came up during your birth and to view them through a unique lens. This process can be helpful in offering access to greater peace of mind; as preparation for a subsequent birth; and as a helpful tool for birth givers and birth workers alike.
Sliding scale of $25, $35, or $45 per 1-1/2 session via Zoom.
