Meet Kimberly


mentee doula

My name is Kimberly Pylant, and my love for birth began long before I ever became a mother myself. As a teenager, I watched people close to me welcome babies into the world. I remember sitting in waiting rooms, filled with awe, knowing something sacred was happening just beyond those doors. Even then, birth felt powerful and meaningful to me.

That passion deepened with the birth of my own children. My first experience left me feeling unheard and uninformed. I knew there had to be a better way to feel supported in such a life-changing moment. With my second birth, I chose differently and hired Paige with Imagine Birth Doula, and it changed everything. Her support didn’t just impact my birth, but helped heal parts of me I didn’t even realize were still hurting. That experience solidified something in me: everyone deserves to feel that loved, supported, and held during birth.

I’ve been a registered nurse for the past nine years, and caring for others has always come naturally to me. Over time, though, I realized nursing wasn’t my final destination. After welcoming my last baby, it became clear that birth work was where my heart had been leading me all along. I love empowering women to do what they were beautifully designed to do. I believe deeply in you, and my hope is to help you believe fully in yourself too.

I’m a North Alabama native and have lived here my entire life. I was homeschooled, earned my nursing degree from Calhoun in 2016, and married my high school sweetheart in 2017. Together we’re raising our two beautiful children (born in 2020 and 2025), who continually remind me of the beauty and transformation of motherhood.

I’ve received childbirth education through DONA International and am currently continuing my education through the Imagine Birth Doulas mentorship program, where I’m gaining hands-on experience and continuing to grow as a birth professional.

My goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and your transition into motherhood. I’m here to answer questions, share resources, encourage you, and walk alongside you and your partner every step of the way. Whether you need a steady calming presence or your biggest cheerleader in the birth room, I’ll meet you exactly where you are. My deepest desire is for every family to feel held, supported, and empowered.

When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me snuggled up with my own—often around a campfire making s’mores. I love camping, hiking, coffee, reading, and spending time with the people I love most.
