DOIC Member Spotlight - Meet Kimberly Hendricks

Doulas of Iowa City members bring a wide variety of trainings, skills, and experiences to their work with families in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and surrounding communities. We're excited to highlight our member doulas through this series.

Today, meet Kimberly Hendricks of Beloved Bonds Birth & Bodywork.

Services Provided:
Doula Services (prenatal, labor and birth, and postpartum). Breastfeeding services (education, clinical evaluation, breastfeeding support group, general support and guidance). Bodywork Services (massage therapy, guided meditations, prenatal yoga).

Three things about Kimberly outside of her doula work:
I’m a mother of four daughters. I love the mountains and I enjoy knitting.

How long have you been supporting families?
I have been providing birth and breastfeeding support for seven years.

When did you first know you wanted to work with families in the time around birth?
As I grew into my own motherhood, I knew my passion was grounded in offering support, affirmation, and care to women. When my triplets began school, I returned to school to pursue education in Maternal/Child health.

Three words that describe your approach to working with clients:
Listen. Affirmation. Unconditional support. (I guess that’s four).

What clients say about working with Kimberly:
"Working with Kimberly was the best decision we made regarding our son's birth. She is a dream doula! She is kind, perceptive, strong and skilled, and she made a world of difference at the birth and after. From the first prenatal consultation to our last postpartum consultation she was consistently there, consistently attuned, and consistently providing insight we couldn't find elsewhere. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. " - Elizabeth Q.

Anything new in your business you'd like us to know about?
I will be offering in-home breastfeeding visits and postpartum doula services once again!
