Oh, hey! 👋🏻
I’m Kyleigh – mom, doula, business mentor,
and MAJOR birth nerd.
I’m the founder of The Autonomy Mommy & Birthworker.com, and I went from a wanna-be doula to a CEO of a multi-six-figure birth business in less than 3 years.
My biggest passion is teaching birth nerds — like you, YES you! — how to build an incredibly successful doula business that allows you to quit your soul-sucking job, stay home with your kids, and make a lasting impact on the global birth community… without needing to attend a bajillion births or be on call 365 days per year for the rest of your life!
Are you ready? Let’s do this!
here’s a little back story…
I quit my soul-sucking “real job” in 2020 to go “full-time doula”
— and it changed my entire life!
And it all happened because of this realization right here... 👇🏻
In March of 2020, I realized that in order to succeed as a Birthworker through all stages of life, I needed to find a way to make birthwork fit my lifestyle without conforming to what everybody else was doing…
Over the several months, I went on to support hundreds of women (in-person, virtually, and through online offers like e-books, workshops, and pre-recorded courses) and within a year, I replaced my income and retired my partner… without being on call 24/7/365 or attending 100+ births a year.
And now I wake up every day pinching myself because not only did I build a wildly successful doula + childbirth education + birth coaching business inside The Autonomy Mommy… but now I get to teach other birth nerds, like you, how to find that same level of success!
The best thing about my story?
There’s nothing magical or secret about how I got here. I invested in mentors, coaches, and programs (several of them to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars and counting!) to learn about business — and I kept learning and implementing until it finally CLICKED!
Not only did it eventually "click,” but in the process of building my doula business (in-person and online), I fell deeply in love with all things business strategy and marketing.
And now I’m here to teach you my entire framework so you can experience this kind of life-changing success, too — a success so sweet that it feeds your soul AND your family! 😉
I promise there will be no details left out. You and me? We’re besties now. You get all of my juicy birth AND business secrets every step of the way.

My vision is simple…
To create a world in which every birthworker knows how to:
1️⃣ Respect a mother as the sole authority over her own birth experience — and 2️⃣ build a sustainable and profitable business so they don’t burn out or quit after a year or two!
That’s the dream 👆🏻
So — what exactly is Birthworker.com?
It’s your #1 go-to source for help with:
⭐️ Being able to confidently support women in navigating their options from pre-conception through postpartum…
✅ Feeling 100% capable of holding space and supporting all types of people in a variety of birth environments…
🔥 Turning your fiery passion for birth into a full-time, impactful, and profitable doula career!
⚠️ Warning: I may cause you to step outside of your comfort zone as you build a legacy for your community and family.
Wait, what is The Autonomy Mommy?
It’s me, Kyleigh! You can think of The Autonomy Mommy as the “other half” of my business… it’s the half that serves pregnant people, whereas Birthworker.com serves new (and aspiring) doulas.
Even as my business expands to support mostly birthworkers, I still have a huge passion for creating resources for pregnant moms to help them prepare for birth. Instead of doing that here on birthworker.com, I do it through The Autonomy Mommy LLC.
So, what’s the big mission here?
Before I share my mission, I wanna share the two things I noticed that ultimately led me to create Birthworker.com…
1️⃣ Too many doulas don’t understand the intricate dance of what it means to actually be a great doula… (to hold space quietly, trust mom as the sole decision maker over her experience, to leave the “hero” mentality behind so moms can empower themselves, and to bring physiological birth education to the greater birth community.)
2️⃣ Too many passionate women don’t step into birthwork because they don’t believe they can create a profitable business while maintaining their preferred lifestyle. (And it’s NOT true!)
So, my mission is to help women who are passionate about birth — the total birth nerds like you — do both of those things up there 👆🏻…
And I do it by teaching my signature 3-pronged method of sustainable birthwork.
My students learn how to support women BEYOND just attending their birth in person… Yes — they support women in person when it’s 100% aligned… but they also create virtual packages, coaching programs, workshops, and online courses.
My dream is that our students can build sustainable and profitable careers from home so they can raise their kids, quit the job they hate, and follow their passion WITHOUT struggling financially or burning out from being on call 24/7/365.
Sounds pretty good — right?
How do I know if Birthworker is for me?
You ARE totally in the right place if:
✅ You trust each woman's inherent wisdom to discover her best path, and you value a woman’s autonomy more than anything else... (Yes — this is the foundation of birthwork!)
✅ You are brand new to birthwork, and you’re looking for long-term success… or you’ve already taken a doula training, but you left that training and found yourself thinking, like, “Okay, but what do I ACTUALLY do.... to find clients… to hold space… to support birth?”
✅ You’re a doula, midwife, nurse, or other birth-obsessed human looking to create a recurring income stream that doesn’t require you to be on call 24/7 for the rest of your life.
✅ You love birthwork, but you’re starting to regret your decision to live the “on-call” lifestyle 24/7.
But we won’t be the best fit for you if:
❌ You think birth is inherently a medical event that needs “fixing,” and you want to “save” women…
❌ You already have an in-person doula business AND a childbirth education business that each make well over 6 figures per year.
❌ You absolutely hate everything tech-related and aren’t willing to learn online business skills. (Don’t worry, if you’re not tech-savvy, you’ll love my tutorial videos!)
❌ You’re the kind of person that finds an excuse for everything and blames others… or if you quit when things get hard, this is not for you!
