My Journey: I am the owner and visionary of Breathe Birth Care. A little over eight years ago I fell into the line of birth work by first becoming a Doula, then Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, Hypnobabies Instructor, Placenta Encapsulator, and so on. I then gave birth to my first child at home in our little studio apartment, and it changed everything, I was empowered. When our daughter was about eighteen months old I was invited to Haiti to learn from the midwives and it was there that I fell in love with the work and felt called to further my education and become a midwife. Now, almost four years later, I am fulfilling that dream.
My Loves: Nic (my partner) has been my number one support throughout this entire journey, and in life in general, there are no words to describe the level of love and strength he has given me. When I came home from MamaBaby Haiti and declared I would be going to midwifery school, he replied: “That seems right, when do you start?” Ru, Wilder, and Casi are my babies, and they each bring immense joy into my life. In our spare time, you will find us traveling in our teardrop camper, hiking the beautiful mountains of Utah, and watching and photographing the pups and kids explore this incredible world around us. We are a family of adventurers and often find grounding through nature. You can keep up with my little family and me personally via Instagram.

My Journey:
My entrance into the birth world began after the birth of my first daughter in 2016. I am the type of person who will research something to death until I feel like I have the best option for myself and because of that I had a birth plan and knew exactly what I wanted. My birth was beautiful but I felt like I wasn’t listened to and that it was a fight for me to get what I wanted. Then, 4 years ago, we moved to Oregon and I reconnected with an old friend and she showed me the pictures of her homebirth and I sobbed. I knew I wanted to provide that empowerment to all birthers no matter where or how they gave birth. I felt strongly that all birthers should feel that amazement of what their body is capable of and the strength they have inside of themselves. So I decided to join Kalli on this wonderful adventure of being part of Breathe Birth Care. I started with placenta encapsulation and then took off with doula work. When my second was born I was firm on my desires and had the tools in my tool belt to have the healing birth I had been dreaming of. Even when curveballs were thrown at me during my birth I had the education and knowledge I needed to be empowered in my birth and my choices. I hope that as a doula I can bring that same knowledge, joy, peace, and empowerment to every birthing person I come in contact with.
My Loves:
My first love forever and always is my amazing partner, Austin, who has encouraged and loved me through all of my dream chasing. He patiently listens to all of my passionate birthing conversations and is always there whenever I need him. My two girls, Carmen and Hazel, make me laugh and smile every single day and remind me that life is beautiful in the simplest of moments. Both of them have brought me more joy than I ever thought possible. I find the most peace while being outside with my family and in the moments we can spend at home laughing and just being together. I love finding new places to eat, adventures, taking long baths with a good book, and learning more about the incredible world around me.
A more healing postpartum.

Testimonials

Kalli attended my birth at Utah Valley Hospital in November, and it was amazing! Before my birth, she provided me with resources and education on everything I’d need to make decisions. Because of this, I felt prepared and knew exactly what I was saying “yes” or “no” to. At my birth, she was a hand to hold and constant support! She also helped me post-birth with her support and help to get into my routine as a new mom. She was 100% supportive of all of my decisions and helped make my birth a beautiful experience!
Jessica S.
Kalli is an exceptionally kind and mindful person who provides exceptional care through her doula services. During her time as our postpartum doula, she was prompt, professional, and incredibly communicative. I highly recommend her for anyone who would benefit from aide during their transitions into parenthood and a growing family.
Jaclyn B.
Working with Morgan was an absolute dream. I felt so encouraged and supported. She was the most incredible doula I could have asked for. She helped me through a very difficult labor and I am so happy she was a part of my birth team. 100% recommend!
Sherroni L.
Morgan was the student midwife at my birth and was amazing. I had an accidental unassisted birth. She was the first of my birth team to arrive. She handled it really well and even assisted in the delivery of my placenta! When I needed stitches for my tear, she kept me distracted and laughing! She is amazing! I love her dearly and am grateful that she has turned into a dear friend of mine!
Kelene C.
Kalli was so knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive throughout my birth. She delivered my placenta encapsulation the very next morning which was so nice that I didn’t have to drive or go send someone to pick them up. She is awesome to work with and I can’t recommend her enough!
Tara N.
I highly recommend Breathe services! I have noticed such a difference in postpartum recovery, taking the placenta that Breathe encapsulated for me! They were super fast in getting the capsules back to us after retrieving my placenta from the hospital, and they provided all the information I needed to use them effectively. Kalli Chason and Breathe services take great care in empowering women and families in the birth/baby journey, and I could not be happier with our experience!!
Ciara B.
Kalli did my placenta encapsulation, she was so quick and always replies quickly to messages.
Having these has helped me so much! Whenever I start to feel down, I’ll take my pills and within an hour I start to feel happier. I am so thankful that I have these and that Kalli was so great to work with. I will definitely be doing this again in the future!
Claire S.
Kalli is an excellent professional and exceptional human being! I loved my experience throughout my pregnancy with her services. She was always on time, super polite, and caring! We always felt comfortable under her care, especially during my birth at the hospital. She was super fast to get there, and I love my pictures from that day and will cherish them forever! I had postpartum care services and placenta encapsulation done as well, and I have no complaints about anything! She was always with a smile on her face and lots of information to share! I felt super cared for and loved! She always checked on me and took super good care of my newborn baby. ❤

After being in labor for 3 days and having my doula there when I needed her, still ending in a c-section with her still there! I will always recommend a doula and loved working with breathe birth care! Morgan is a superstar! 🖤
Claire S.
Morgan was the best doula we could've asked for!! My goal was to find someone who would be supportive, non-judgemental, and who could help us form a birth plan. Morgan checked all of those boxes!
She met with us several times before labor and helped review a lot of different birth options. I learned way more from Morgan than in the birthing class I was concurrently taking. During labor Morgan was awesome. She was there for me physically and emotionally during a 33 hour labor. Without her applying counter-pressure during contractions, it would've been impossible for me to avoid an epidural for as long as I did (27 hours). Morgan is truly the best! If I give birth again and Morgan is still offering doula services, I'll 100% book her again!
Brook C.
Kalli taught a birthing class that I attended in her home. She was so welcoming and kind to my partner and me, and I felt at home. Beyond her kindness, she was also very informative and knowledgeable about the many aspects of birth. She taught in a non-judgemental way, that seemed to make everyone in the room feel comfortable. I learned so much from her class that I cannot wait to apply to my birth experience! This class made me feel excited about the birth, and not fearful! I would recommend Kalli to anyone! She is a light in the birthing world!
Kiirsten S.
Kalli was an amazing help throughout the entire birth process. She took beautiful pictures and managed to capture the tenderness and even humor in the hours of labor and delivery. She went above and beyond. She stayed and helped clean up afterward and brought me meals too. You could not ask for a better member of your birth team.
Monica G.
Kalli and team did my placenta encapsulation and went above and beyond to bring me some extra postpartum goodies as a bonus. Working with them was easy and their turnaround time was great
