She earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from William Jewell College and her Master’s of Science in Nursing, emphasis in Women’s Health and Family Nurse Practitioner from the University of Kansas.  She is currently enrolled in the midwifery program at the University of Kansas. She has worked in both the hospital and community setting and during the past 7 years taught women’s health, maternal and newborn nursing, nutrition and physical assessment in the college setting, while maintaining a practice as a nurse and nurse practitioner.  She has also traveled to Central America and Africa where she has provided healthcare to a variety of populations.  She is the mother of two small children and had two very different birth experiences, which is one of the many reasons why Kim is excited to be working at New Birth Company.  “I believe that childbirth is the most powerful experience that a woman will ever have.  My goal is to ensure that each woman has the most satisfying labor and birth experience possible.  I believe that this can be achieved through educating and honoring women’s choices. I see it as a joy and privilege to be a partner in bringing new life into this world”.
