Kelly Hightower, RN, CLC

I am the owner of Bright Birth, LLC and have been a nurse since 1996. As a Registered Nurse I have background in labor/delivery and pediatric nursing. I am also a Certified Lactation Counselor, HypnoBirthing Practitioner/Childbirth Educator and Certified Doula (DONA).  I am passionate about educating parents and adore children. I work with expectant mothers and their families to prepare them for birth, empower them throughout pregnancy, advocate and encourage them during labor and birth so that they can embrace their newborn and enjoy those first tender days. It brings me great joy to support parents in reaching their individual breastfeeding goals with education, telephone and private in-home consultations.  From diapers to doctors – I am proud to say I have a respected network of providers to whom I confidently refer growing families. My unique set of qualifications and skills have allowed me to develop a trusted relationship with area hospitals, many gifted providers and Web MD.

I offer my services in groups, private sessions, and occasionally on weekends as well. It was my own unique birthing and parenting experiences that put me on the path to establishing Bright Birth. My goal is to inspire moms about the birth process, allowing them to trust their bodies to joyfully give life without fear. In my search for a natural childbirth method I found HypnoBirthing so inspiring and fulfilling, I knew I had to share it with other parents.

I was born in New York and raised in Connecticut, attending college there, before moving to Atlanta in 2002. I replenish my mind, body and soul with yoga and treasure the yoga community. I also enjoy cooking and baking with my children, gardening, reading, nature walks, picnics and quiet moments with my family. I live in Decatur with my successfully breastfed children, two beautiful boys, and a one precious little girl.
