Kellie Bailey, CBD (CBI), CBE
I believe that birth is a normal physiological process. Our bodies were designed to do this work. Women have a deep knowing of the birthing process and must be encouraged and respected in this expertise.
I became passionate about supporting growing families after the waterbirth of my now twelve year old daughter. My husband and I chose to receive maternity care from a traditional midwife and gently brought our baby into our arms in a tiny apartment in Huntington Beach, California.
My pregnancy and birth experience was made beautiful through research and informed choices, a safe birthing location, and a strong support team. Almost five years later I birthed my second daughter into the world right at home again. I also experienced an unmedicated birth in a hospital setting late 2019 when my son was born.
After attending births in early 2012, I began my maternity related education and received my birth doula certification through Childbirth International. CBI is a comprehensive program accredited with distinction as a provider of continuing nurse education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. I hold a Childbirth Education Certification as well as an up to date CPR certification.
I teach group childbirth education classes and attend births in the Fort Wayne area. Alongside birth support and education, I am the Founder and Director of Community Doula Collective, a nonprofit 501c3 organization that strives to improve maternity experiences and outcomes by connecting growing families to quality resources and support.
When I'm not serving growing families I love researching all things health and wellness, homeschooling, making music with my composer husband, and creating a simple and cozy home for our family.
My hope is that your pregnancy, future birth, and family transition will be made up of the best of memories and I would love to support you on your unique journey!
