Our Story

Heather Kleinhans is a faith-driven wife and mother of two. She has worked as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) in California since 2015, and in Arizona prior to that. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Science from Arizona State University in 2010 and has been actively working in the therapy world, while building her specialized clinical skills through continued education in efforts to support pediatric clientele with orofacial myofunctional and feeding disorders. Her passion was fueled by her own struggles with myofunctional and feeding disorders and her family’s experiences with delays and disorders. As a lifelong lover of learning and having seen firsthand, how these delays and disorders impact quality of life for so many families, Heather went on to continue her education and training as an Infant-Toddler Feeding and Lactation Specialist to support families during the beginning of their life journey. Observing there was still a gap in support for families, she became a (FDD) Certified Faith Driven Childbirth Educator and Doula with additional specialized (NDA) NICU Doula training. She is also a (CBWS) Certified Baby Wearing Educator/Consultant. Heather specializes in supporting a range of specific support needs, including trauma-informed care, support of those who are Neurodivergent or Disabled, and customized support for those impacted by stays in the NICU or pregnancy and infant loss. Heather firmly believes that growing families deserve evidence-based education, resources and ongoing support during such a foundational and vulnerable season. She considers it a privilege to be a part of their team, helping to alleviate stress and allowing them time and support for healing, connection, joy and developmentally aligned support during this beautiful season.

Reviews

What are people saying about us?

"What an absolute blessing it was to have Heather be apart of my birthing journey as well  as postpartum care! She is absolutely phenomenal! This was my third birth and my first time having a doula and let me tell you, I wish I would have found her my first pregnancy! Heather has such a beautiful soul that is very nurturing, kindhearted, and understanding. During the time of my pregnancy I was going through a really tough hardship, but with Heather's encouraging words and support, she made the days so much easier. She would take time out of her day to check in on me. She is incredibly knowledgeable and provided me with many resources and connections starting from prenatal care to baby starting solids, and she is a lactation specialist/consultant! I cannot thank Heather enough. She was with me every step of the way. She was just what I needed and I know God put her in my path at the perfect time. I will forever be grateful for her, and Yes!  I would recommend Heather over and over a thousand times!" A.V.

"I can’t quite describe what Heather means to me after my experience with her as my doula and lactation specialist/consultant. I have never had a provider care for me, see me, hear me, acknowledge me, support me, and truly just love me like Heather. From our intake session, to my birth, to my postpartum experience… Everything she does, she does to the best of her abilities. Her support throughout mid-late pregnancy, labor/delivery, and postpartum/breastfeeding was truly unmatched. She is so extremely knowledgeable and wise in her specialties and makes herself available to her clients like no other provider. Not only does she make her availability to clients a priority, but she has created a wide referral network system she is able to tailor specific to her clients' needs. Late in pregnancy, I was desperate for a massage and Heather recommended a prenatal massage therapist in my town When I was in labor, Heather was at the hospital advocating for me and supporting me as a doula. When nursing was a challenge due to my baby’s lip, tongue, and 2 buccal ties, Heather was at my house as a lactation specialist/consultant and referred to an airway centric dentist to release ties (and supported post release!) When sleep was hard to come by, Heather was offering to take the night shift for me. As I needed breastfeeding tops, Heather shopped around and found several options for me. When I found myself in need of pelvic floor therapy, Heather referred me to an occupational therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy. As I navigated postpartum, Heather continually made herself available to me. During the difficult times, she would check in. She was the only provider to give me the Postpartum Depression Severity Screening and referred me to a postpartum therapist that I really benefited from. Overall, I had a great experience with Heather. I have, and will continue to, highly recommend her. You want her in your corner " C.J.

"Heather's kindness and support are second to none. She was amazing, from start to finish. Prenatally, she worked with my husband and I on how to navigate delivery day, how to form a birth plan that felt supportive and how to choose alternatives in the event the plan needed to change due to evolving medical concerns. I felt in more control when delivery day came, I felt prepared and ready. She was there throughout the delivery process and really helped as both a physical and emotional support. Everyone should have access to a doula as great as Heather. I really don’t know what I would have done without her.  During Postpartum, I felt so supported. Heather checked in frequently and helped me navigate this new role of motherhood. She was there to help me navigate breastfeeding and now 9 months later, I am still going strong! Heather is very professional and respectful. She always communicated promptly and is so easy to talk to. Her kind demeanor puts you at ease and her knowledge really makes you feel empowered and comfortable in her care. I did not know what benefit working with a doula would have. I felt fairly confident in my ability to navigate birth and postpartum. However, after working with Heather I cannot imagine having gone through this experience without her. To have someone help support you every step of the way is invaluable. Pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum take you to the edge physically, mentally, and emotionally; I cannot stress enough how important Heather’s presence was to me during this process. I am now such a believer in having a doula and frequently recommend Heather’s services to clients and friends. I cannot recommend Heather’s services enough, if you are on the fence about working with a doula/lactation specialist/consultant, go for it! You won’t regret it!" K.K.
