Nourish + Thrive began as a stack of short articles Kim crafted through her early days catching babies with an eye toward helping the families she serves enjoy the most wonderful experiences and outcomes possible.
As the years slipped one past another, that little stack grew until this book was born.
It comprises the many lessons Kim’s learned serving moms, dads, and brand-new babies since 1993 including————
————a discussion about the safety of homebirthing
————a description of what birth at home with a midwife looks like
————thoughts about lifestyle choices designed to optimize the health of families
————and suggestions for tackling the issues which sometimes arise
while carrying, bearing, and tending to babies.
Kim Woodard Osterholzer began attending homebirths in 1993, and has served as a homebirth midwife since 2002.
Through those years Kim’s attended the births of more than 700 babies, including the births of her own grandchildren.
Her passion is seeing families off to an excellent start, and her heart thrills to encourage, inspire, empower, and equip those she serves in their unique endeavors to live their lives to the full.
Kim’s midwifery partner is her own homeborn daughter, Hannah Simmons.
Kim is founder and proprietor of both
Birth at Home Midwifery Services, LLC and Born For This—Giving Birth to a Happy, Healthy Family, TM.
