Meet Codi, a postpartum doula, researcher and educator, and mother of two.

I’m so happy you’re here.

Next of Kin is a passion project of mine, dedicated to my daughter. Through my work here, I intend on healing her from some challenging, hard-to-understand health issues that have been stealing from her childhood. I intend for everything here to go towards medical costs and the wellbeing of our family.

Origin of the name: My “adopted father” dreamed of starting a business called Next of Kin, though he passed in 2021. When I started daydreaming about starting this project and devoting it to my daughter (who was named after him), Next of Kin was obvious to me.
