Kyliah Thompson, MSW, LCSW
Doula | Birth Sister
Hey everyone, I’m Kyliah! I am so thrilled to have you here! Welcome to Rooted Embraces! Originally from the Chicagoland area, I currently live in Columbia, SC. with my husband, Cason, and dog, Moon. I am a lover of crafts, theatre, cooking/baking, making memories, and traveling to visit family or friends!
My life has been dedicated to advocating, empowering, and building connections with others. From my time working with survivors of intimate partner violence in St. Louis, to my role as a School Social Worker in MN, I’ve seen firsthand, the positive impact and outcomes of having intentional, transparent, and compassionate relationships and how essential it is to my approach as a doula.
doula [doo-luh] (noun)
A birth sister, commonly known as a doula (pronounced do’-la), is a professional birth worker who provides non-medical support to mothers and families. Birth sisters/doulas are trained and certified to assist mothers. A birth sister provides non-bias evidence-based information, techniques, support, and resources to aid a mom through pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. They can also provide tools to help the mother advocate for herself and her baby.

"It was solely by chance that I came across Rooted Embraces. We started our journey very early on in my pregnancy, so I was able to have her there for me for every stage of the process... Kyliah showed up in every way for me, whether that be through nausea-aid, counter-pressure, grocery shopping, being a shoulder to cry on, meal prep, labor prep, assistance, and advocacy. She pushed me on things that were good for me, but respected my every choice and decision for me and my baby... I wouldn't have wanted to go through this or any other pregnancy without the services at Rooted Embraces. 10/10 Recommend. "
