Kim Martino-Sexton – About me
Hello! My name is Kim Martino-Sexton. My husband Brad & I are the proud parents of two boys born naturally which radically changed the course of my life. Wayne was born after an almost painless 72 hour labor. I was so empowered and inspired by my pregnancy and birth of Wayne that I immediately began the process of becoming a birth professional. In contrast, Cole was born after 24 hours of what really felt like “labor”. We (yes, Brad was a big part of the process) successfully breastfed both boys well past the recommended guidelines of the times. We live in the St. Louis area surrounded by a supportive network of family and friends I like to call our village. We share our home with Sadie, a black golden doodle.
My Journey as the Newborn Family Coach…
In 1997, I decided to “graduate” from College Administration work and pursue my passion of becoming a Birth Professional. The first step on my journey was to become a certified Natural Childbirth Instructor. While teaching my first class, I stumbled into my first birth doula experience. And so began my journey. As of today, I have taught more than 1000 expectant couples, attended 500 births, supported hundreds of families postpartum and written a few books. I am truly grateful for each and every newborn family that has chosen me as their birth educator, birth doula and postpartum coach.
