Kadie Smiles

Kadie is a passionate and skilled birth and postpartum doula. Their unofficial doula journey began in 2002 when they witnessed the birth of their younger sister, and began to help their mom with what would grow to be a family of four siblings. No stranger to various birth outcomes; Kadie was also a huge support in the sudden death of their infant brother back in 2008. In 2021, Kadie felt the call to midwifery and trained under Chanel Portia-Albert and Ancient Song Doula Services. To continue their education, Kadie moved to Houston to train under DeSahun Desrosiers and Harmonious Birthing. They supported their first family back in 2021, and have since supported over 50 families, across the spectrum of prenatal, birth, postpartum and lactation. My hope is for all families that I work with to feel empowered to birth and parent in a way that works for their life! I believe that care is a resource and a practice; It's an action! Adequate access to care is life affirming and life saving.
