About
Kelsey Bains

Kelsey is a current Midwifery Student at Midwives College of Utah and a DONA trained doula and birth enthusiast committed to learning and growth in the birthing field. Before becoming a birth professional, Kelsey obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Athletic Training and her Master's Degree in Sports Exercise Psychology. Along with her birth training, Kelsey has over17 years experience in sports medicine.

 

While this may not seem relative to the birthing world, the expertise in sports medicine as an emergent treatment has prepared Kelsey to nurture the needs of the birthing process.  Additionally, Kelsey has trained under and provided life-coaching wisdom to couples and individuals. Her deep rooted passion was discovered while having the honor to be present at one of her best friends' births, supporting both parents in the magical process. Kelsey's focus and drive stems from her knowledge of holistic medicine, allowing her to provide a loving and safe birthing experience that every new parent dreams of and deserves.

Philosophy of Practice

My philosophy of care is centered around holistic care, nurturing the natural processes of childbirth, and fostering a deep partnership between the midwife and the birthing individual. It embraces the belief in the inherent strength and wisdom of the body, while respecting the diverse cultural, emotional, and physical needs of each individual person. My philosophy is grounded in evidence-based practices while continuing to recognize the importance of personalized, compassionate support. I value informed decision-making and empowering individuals to actively participate in their birthing journey. Ultimately, my philosophy of midwifery seeks to create a safe, respectful, and empowering environment where birth is viewed as a transformative and life-affirming experience.
