April Kurtyka

When I gave birth to my daughter, Ella, in April of 2000, my life changed. Not only was I blessed with my beautiful little girl, I also discovered the beauty of pregnancy and childbirth. Since then I have been pursuing my dream of working with expectant families empowering them to have a truly satisfying birth and postpartum experience.

As far as my educational training goes, I am an ICEA (International Childbirth Education Association) certified Childbirth Educator, Internationally Board Certified Location Consultant, Certified Hypnobabies Instructor, a Postpartum Doula and Placenta Encapsulation specialist.
.

In 2011 I decided that I want to pursue health and body image issues, subjects that I am incredibly passionate about. I have put together a workshop for women regarding body image and I am in school training to become a Holistic Health Coach. I am enjoying every second of it!
.

My “real life” training includes being a Momma to my wonderful daughter (2000), my son (2009) and carrying twins as a Gestational Surrogate for an amazing family in 2006.
.

After being in this field for years, I know that I’ve found my calling. I absolutely love what I do and I think that every person I work with can see that.

Love and Light
