“…all cheese is the best cheese.”
Kai was an apprentice at Brookhaven in 2015-2017 and returned in October 2018 after a brief break. One really cool tidbit about Kai is that her mother was a midwife for years. When our head midwife Misty was an apprentice, Kai’s mother was one of her preceptors! We were thrilled to have her back last fall and it will be bittersweet when she finishes her apprenticeship in the coming months. Anyone who has had a prenatal with Kai knows that she brings joy to every appointment. Keep reading to gain some insight into the inner workings of her mind.

If you were held at gunpoint and told that if you didn’t impress them with your dance moves you would be killed, what dance moves would you bust out?
