Hiring Kim was one of the best decisions we made while I was pregnant! We initially hesitated on hiring a doula since I wouldn’t be getting maternity pay for very long (and babies are expensive!), but looking back it’s hard to imagine Kim not being a part of our birth. My husband and I moved to College Station less than a year ago. While my family was planning on traveling to see us from out of state the week of our due date, baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early! Kim supported me through some arduous pitocin contractions, helped us advocate for our wishes, and kept my husband hydrated, caffeinated, and fed, which enabled him to best support me. Before the more painful contractions started my husband was even able to run home to grab more hospital bag items and let our dog out, and I’m so happy Kim was there with me so I didn’t have to be on my own as there were quite a few unexpected decisions to make due to the early arrival. I would recommend Kim in a heartbeat! She’s also a great massage therapist. Baby’s early arrival thwarted me scheduling another prenatal massage — will have to schedule a postpartum one soon :)

We took Kim’s hospital birth class and had an amazing experience. The classes were informative and fun, and helped us feel prepared for anything in our birth. Kim also gave us the confidence to advocate for the birth experience we wanted while being ready for the unexpected. She is so knowledgeable and an amazing resource. Definitely recommend to any first time moms!!

This woman is incredible. I don’t even know where to begin with Kim. If you are on the fence about having a doula at your birth, please let this be your sign to seriously consider it! I cannot imagine my pregnancy and birth experience without her. Kim helped us make informed decisions about our birth plan, walked us through comfort measures and labor positions, was available at ALL hours to answer questions about funky pregnancy symptoms (bless her)… and when it was go-time, she was a total godsend. I still remember the relief I felt when she met us at the hospital as contractions picked up. Without her encouragement and physical help (the BEST at hip squeezes and counter pressure) I’m not sure how my birth experience would have been. She’s a bold advocate and a loyal friend. Also - Kim loves the Lord, and I truly value her prayerful approach. One thing is for sure, I will definitely have Kim at my next birth. I just can’t imagine doing it without her. And just look at this squishy babe she helped bring into the world - and without an epidural! P.S. She also gives amazing prenatal massages that helped me to stay relaxed through that third trimester. 10/10 would recommend.

Kim was an excellent Birth Bootcamp instructor! Very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions we had. 10/10 would recommend!

Kim is the best!! I hired her as a doula for my first pregnancy. She was a great resource to have for any questions during pregnancy. I truly felt cared for and listened to. Even though I ended up having a C-section she sat with my husband and I before the surgery, and she brought so much calmness into the space and was able to distract me from my anxiety. In addition, going to her birth class helped both my husband and I feel more equipped for the birth process .

Kim was such a gift during my pregnancy and birth. Her class was super informative and gave me a lot of confidence going in. She was always quick to respond to my texts, which helped me feel supported even before labor. When things moved fast and intense with my first birth, she was right there—hands-on, calming, and encouraging. I’m so grateful for her!

We absolutely loved our experience with Kim Sheppard and the Birth Boot Camp class! We also hired Kim as our doula too! She is incredibly knowledgeable , compassionate, and supportive in action. The class was engaging, informative, and completely tailored to preparing us for birth and postpartum life. Kim has a rare ability to balance expert guidance with warmth and encouragement, making every session both educational and empowering. Her support as a doula was invaluable during our birth, and her teaching in Birth Boot Camp gave us confidence, skills, and peace of mind leading up to the big day. If you’re considering Birth Boot Camp, or want a doula who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in your birth journey, Kim Sheppard is simply the best!

Went to see Kim for an acupressure message to assist with the induction of labor. The message was a peaceful, relaxing experience. Baby boy made his appearance 48 hours later!

Amazing prenatal massage! I seriously feel like a new woman every time. Perfect pressure and good communication throughout.

BEST massage therapist EVER!! Kim is so laid back and makes you feel comfortable immediately. She is thorough and attentive, focusing on delivering exactly what my muscles need. Highly recommend :-)
