Ocean Hak-Kuhn
Ocean Hak-Kuhn is our A Brighter Birth Infant Care Educator. Hailing from a big family but last in line, Ocean didn’t get to be surrounded by babies at home so she placated her need to hold them by providing childcare early—at the tender age of 10 years old thanks to a trusting and weary mama across the street! This eventually led to a career as a nanny, working for several families over the years and (unexpectedly!) specializing in twins. Her passion for childcare opened her eyes to see how necessary support is for the entire family during pregnancy and early postpartum was as well. From there, she attended Postpartum Doula trainings through Birth Arts International, as well as ToLabor Birth Doula trainings and became a Certified Lactation Counselor through the Healthy Children’s Project in order to couple her hands-on experience with evidenced-based education. With the birth of her first child, she experienced firsthand how pivotal doula support was through her own labor and early weeks of motherhood. She is deeply grateful and honored to walk through this period with the families she supports.
