Hi, I’m jaymie kuhl.
I’m a traditional birth doula in Orange County, California and founder of Resolute Birth. My heart is for serving and protecting women and babies.
My passion for birth started with my desire for a peaceful birth experience with my second son and has become a divine calling to help other women achieve a beautiful, empowered birth.
My first birth lacked preparation and a proper support system and ended with an unplanned, traumatic cesarean section. Thus, I spent my entire second pregnancy educating myself about labor and birth and was able to have my dream birth at home with my amazing birth team. My doulas played a key role in my successful HBAC, which inspired me to become that support for other women.
It is 100% my bias that birth works best when it is undisturbed by unnecessary interventions and when the mother has full authority. Birth is such a precious gift that we have the honor of receiving as women, and thus, is worth experiencing to the fullest. There is no better opportunity to surrender, trust, feel, grow, heal, transform.
For several years, I have been going through the motions of what I thought I was supposed to do for a career: go to college, get an office job, etc. Immediately after my second birth, I started leaning into my intuition and embracing the path that God has set before me. I now have no desire for a career that is anything less than magical. Queue birth work. :)
