Maternal death rates are staggering in the U.S. Kim is featured as a subject-matter expert in this recent article by Wanda Lau on architects' potential to improve birth environments and postpartum resources for women and their families.
Kim Holden was a founder, managing principal + architect at renowned firm SHoP and became a doula after 20 years of practice. We speak to Kim, whose change of careers has been unconventional and courageous, about her initiative, Doula x Design, and how she supports families during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.
I am an Registered Architect (RA, AIA), as well as a Certified Advanced Birth Doula (CABD), Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), Design Consultant, and Educator, based in Portland, ME and New York, NY.
“Everything we learned with Kim—from the labor stages and suggested movements, what to pack for the hospital and how to plan for breastfeeding—was useful and educational. We are so thrilled with our labor and birth experience; we felt mentally and physically strong and much of that is thanks to all the support we received from Kim. We highly recommend her virtual services and would definitely work with her again.”
