Caring for your whole body - now offering a prenatal massage with our birthing package
What I liked most about Kathya was how she seems to have married her knowledge of midwifery (which is extensive) and her honest love of children and the birthing process. I found her to be thoughtful and sincere.
“I feel she really nurtures the relationship between mother and midwife.”
New information suggests that home births are a realistic and safe option, with less complications and intervention than hospital births. A new Cochrane Library review revealed that all countries should think about setting up proper home birth services.
Home Births May Be Safer Than Hospital Births
My labor, though painful and intense, was peaceful and exciting and I am grateful to you for that. You caused no stress or discomfort during labor, instead, you were inspirational and encouraging, and you gave me confidence and told me what to do when I didn’t know, with such comfort and guidance, that I am, to this day, still thankful.
A big thanks and rated 5 star service
I’m looking for pregnancy resources in Southern Nevada
My goal is to offer everyone an array of resources and referrals in order to plan the best birth possible, whether it’s in the hospital or with another midwife. There are an array of resources in the area.
What are some of your clients saying?
“We met, and liked her right away. She knew the answers to all of our questions, and we shared so much in common. There was no doubt I wanted her to assist in the delivery of my baby.”

A Message from the Midwife
Meet Kathya Raebel, DEM
My mission is to educate parents and help them make an informed decision for their family. There are so many options out there for parents and I continue to be surprised by the number of people who do not know about the world of natural birth.
I have collected information on birth preparation, prenatal health and nutrition, and a healthy postpartum. It is also a resource for finding pediatricians, holistic baby shops, supplies for waterbirth and so many other resources specific to the Las Vegas and surrounding area. If there is anything I missed please contact me.
