childbirth education

“Taking a Birthing from Within session with Koyuki was one of the best things we did to prepare for birth. Her work takes a deep look at birth and profoundly impacted the way I approached mine - not with rigidity or precision but with an openness and an ability to navigate anything that came our way. She made something intangible feel accessible and empowering. Additionally, Koyuki really helped us approach this experience as a couple, which was incredibly valuable for us both.”

“My Birthing from Within session with Koyuki had a profound impact on the way I experienced my wife's pregnancy and birth. First off, up until this time, everything had been moving so fast that I hadn't been able to fully take stock of the journey we were on. Koyuki helped to ground me and bring added meaning to the experience. But even more importantly, the coping techniques she taught me proved to be invaluable. There were few moments of anxiety and confusion from that day forward - and many more of joy and excitement that are still radiating months after the arrival of our son. Thank you for everything, Koyuki!”

professional mentoring

“Working with Koyuki has been extremely helpful in my birth practice as a doula and midwife assistant. She has been invaluable when processing traumatic birth events, complications, and difficult client scenarios. I leave each session with a deeper understanding of myself, as well as what I can do in the future to better support my clients and tend to my own needs when giving so heavily to others.”

“As an owner and director of Birthing from Within, I have been able to witness Koyuki counsel and mentor birth professionals from seasoned doulas to brand new educators with incredible grace, wisdom, and finesse. She has a knack for asking the right questions, understanding what people are really seeking, and offering guidance that is profound in its simplicity. I have also called upon Koyuki for mentorship about my own birth business. I always leave our consultations feeling seen, buoyed, and with new knowledge. She has the ability to cut to the heart of the matter, and illuminate paths that you haven't been able to see yourself. She has led me to clarity time and time again.” — Lauren Vallone, Director of Community, Birthing from Within International
