Hi, I’m kate oakley.

As a birthkeeper, women’s ceremony facilitator and guardian of rites of passage, I walk with families through the childbearing continuum —

From conscious conception, through the portal of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, to the wonders of natural motherhood.

I live with my husband and daughter in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. Born and raised in New York, I moved out West in 2016 to attend the University of San Francisco. After graduating with a degree in Environmental Studies, I began my higher education in collective women’s wisdom and sovereign birth. As a lifelong student of authentic midwifery, I am committed to serving women outside the system.
