Kai Shatteen is a leader in the Bay Area birth work community with a deep commitment to ending the injustice that puts BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) and LGBTQIA (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex Asexual) communities at the bottom when it comes to positive birth outcomes. For Kai this work is an answer to ancestral calling, not a career and she is guided by her Ancestors daily. Kai is an Apprentice Midwife, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, as well as a Birth & Postpartum Consultant. She is currently the Client Intake Director and Doula Trainer within the Roots of Labor Birth Collective.
As an Apprentice Midwife, Kai is committed to using her calm, healing energy to support you birth your new beginning. Kai is with you as your life shifts to include a new being - as you become a parent. Kai believes that birthing people are warriors and should be honored, celebrated and graced with love. Birthing people have held and birthed new life into this Universe. She strives to witness your journey as you conquer a great challenge-giving birth to another human being.
