Welcome

I’m so happy you’re here

Hey, I’m Krystil

Mom, doula, educator, serial entrepreneur, and the woman who built the training she wished existed.

So what's my story? Welp, I was three years into my doula career, had supported almost 200+ families, and I still couldn't advocate for my own birth.

I watched my son breathe on a ventilator in the NICU after a failed induction turned "emergency cesarean".. which all started with the homebirth midwife I originally hired dropping me from her care over a text message because I was approaching 42 weeks with no sign of labor. I was coerced, manipulated, berated, and assaulted during my own birth experience. And I was supposed to be the one who knew better.

That was the moment everything I thought I knew about birthwork fell apart. Because this work was never about hip squeezes and affirmation cards. It was about advocacy. Leadership. Becoming the kind of person who can hold her ground when it matters most. And if I, with my experience and my fire, could be silenced... what chance did a brand-new doula have? The thought made me shudder.

So I went on a mission to fix it and I built something that didn't exist. A doula training that combines all the necessary birthworker certifications, real business training from my 10+ years as a serial entrepreneur, and real-life advocacy skills.

Who Am I... Really?

Native New Yorker. Wife. Mom to the two best kids to ever grace this planet, and yes, I am fully aware that every mom says that but it’s true.

Before birthwork, I was a corporate tech sales baddie with a few side hustles. Business coach & life coach, event planner, charcuterie maker, reiki master, yoga teacher. Casual.

Somewhere between the corporate grind and my fifth business, I realized the doula industry was my soul's purpose & needed to be shaken up, so I broke up with the corporate overlords that were stealing my sunshine & dove headfirst into building this training.

Some fun facts: Hubs & I have visited 55 countries and counting. I was picked out of the audience at Sea World to sit on Shamu when I was 5. I love the smell of bacon but cannot stomach it (ex-vegan). A bit witchy. A little bitchy when I don't get min 6 hours of sleep.

People who meet me in person are always surprised that I am short (5'2 1/2). Did I mention yet that I could eat pizza for every meal?

Why Innerbloom?

Over 8+ years as a doula, I've personally attended seven different trainings, read over 100 birthy books, listened to countless podcasts, & dissected over 1,000 clinical studies (yes, I've counted). More importantly than that, I've personally mentored hundreds of doulas, while building 5 businesses, and hit multi-six-figure milestones along the way. Not just because I am insanely competitive, but because I was driven by getting it right.

And somewhere between the research rabbit holes and the 2am birth calls, I realized the training I was looking for didn't exist. So naturally, I did the very chill and totally reasonable thing and built it myself with a 2yo & 4mo in tow.

2,000+ hours later, and an ocean's worth of caffeine later, Innerbloom was born.

Innerbloom isn't a program you log into and figure out alone. It's mentorship with someone in your corner who has been in the room, built the business, made the mistakes, and turned all of it into a training so you don't have to learn the hard way like I did. And DANG was it hard! Still sweating thinking about it tbh.

Innerbloom is for the woman who reveres this work. It is for the doula ready to be the most prepared, confident, and business-savvy professional in the room.

Over 8+ years, I have trained and certified as a:

- Certified Birth Doula

- Certified Postpartum Doula

- Certified Childbirth Educator

- Certified Fertility Doula

- Certified Lactation Counselor

- Certified Bereavement Doula

- Certified Placenta Encapsulator

- Certified Prenatal Yoga Teacher

The Innerbloom Promise

You're never alone in this. Not during training, after certification, when you're sitting in a parking lot before you support your first client wondering if you’ve got the chops to do this work. Never.

I have coached hundreds of women through building businesses and finding their confidence long before I ever stepped into birthwork. Mentorship isn't something I tacked onto this program… It's the reason I'm good at this & the reason why Innerbloom doulas are successful. I will push you. I will hype you up. I will hold your hand while I’m painfully honest with you. And I will be there. Every doula deserves that level of commitment and sisterhood from their training.
