Offerings

As a proud Black Queer Mother who did not benefit from having adequate support and advocacy prenatally, while giving birth and during the postpartum period when she had her children, Kai Ayo humbly offers inclusive and compassionate care to all families. Kai Ayo defines families as young parents, solo parents, partnered parents, and adoptive or foster parents. She specializes in serving families that are BIPOC and LGBTQIA. If cost is an issue for you, there may be other resources that Kai can refer you to. Kindred Soul currently supports clients that reside in Oakland and surrounding cities.
