Kayti Buehler, Licensed Midwife

I have been hesitant to write this review because it is truly impossible to put into words the experience we had with Kayti as our midwife. From a strictly clinical /​professional perspective, her level of care was phenomenal. She went above and beyond to help my husband and I with any challenge that arose in my pregnancy and delivery. She did research for us, got us connected with other wellness providers (chiropractor, acupuncture, etc.) and other midwives, and coached us along the way. Her assistant, Haley, was a huge help as well. They were always available and paid attention to all our needs. Throughout our prenatal and postpartum care, however, we developed a bond with Kayti that went far beyond just a professional relationship. We were united in an amazing way and know that she is going to be in our lives and a part of our family for many years to come.

This is a professional review of my mentor and colleague, Kayti. I have had the pleasure of working alongside her in the San Diego birth community for many years. Kayti has been an incredibly wise and helpful resource for midwifery care for my doula clients. I have had the pleasure of attending home birth with Kayti and have been witness her calm and reassuring bedside manner. Parents are always commenting on how her easy nature, patience, and grounding personality balance so wonderfully with her knowledge and care. One of her most notable strengths is meeting birthing parents where they are at in life, and providing unbiased information before supporting whatever decision they may be making about their care. Kayti is also one of my instructors at The Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery, providing thought provoking instruction and challenging the students to become evidence-​based providers. Kayti is refreshingly accessible, entertains all of my questions and is quick to lend helpful advice and guidance. I wish I was still in the family planning stage of my life so I could choose her as my own midwife!

Kayti was amazing. Our baby ended up being born in the hospital, but she was very professional all the time and a GREAT support during labor.

I was told some advice before I was pregnant «when you find the right midwife she will fit you like a glove»
We hired Kayti at around ⁷⁄₈ weeks of pregnancy. She was friendly, concerned and also very encouraging. I never went to an appointment feeling disappointed to be there it was always because I was leaving. She is very knowledgeable and her student midwife Haley is just as amazing. They were able to keep up with my crass personality and was always gung hoe for new things. One part I always loved is Kayti would check up on me to see how I was at each appointment. It was not uncommon for me to spend 1,5– 2 hours some times.
When it came to my labour I had stalled around 12 to which we decided that Kayti, the student midwife and the assistant would go home. I laid down to sleep and woke around 1, ate something and then I went into full transition I called Kayti back and she came racing back to the house. By 2:30 we had a baby girl. Kayti was so patient, she held her ground when my mother in law suggested some «interventions» and was just great.
We did have some blood sugar issues, but we gave it some time and she was okay.
Kayti is amazing she us like a long lost sister. We are so alike and I miss seeing her and Haley. She’s amazing and I give my seal of approval.

Kayti is very educated, down to earth, and truly exceeded our expectations. Having a baby was a miracle, having a midwife like Kayti to guide us through the journey was a blessing! My deepest heart-​filled gratitude goes out to you Kayti :) Warm regards, Noris & Brooke

Kayti was our midwife for our 3^rd child. This was our first home birth and we were quite confident in our decision to choose her as our midwife. We immediately had a connection with her and she became a part of our family.
I was about 10 days late and she was very supportive in every aspect. When the time came she came fully prepared and I was so glad she was there with us. She helped me with certain positions and was very aware of my needs during labor. We had a beautiful delivery and the one thing that I remember vividly was when she said «Krista, reach down and grab your baby!» It was an amazing moment.
The thing that makes Kayti such a special midwife and person was her dedication to us during our postpartum. She was there by our side through everything and was at our house many hours and many days after our birth. Kayti went above and beyond the call of duty! She will always be a part of us! I would recommend her to anyone who wants a dedicated, smart, and loving person there during a special moment like child birth.
