About

Karly Nuttall Midwifery & Hormone Health is a home birth and hormone health practice in Normal Heights, San Diego, located at 4443 30th Street, Suite 205, in the 92116 ZIP code. Karly Nuttall has attended over 800 births since beginning her midwifery studies at the Midwives College of Utah in 1999, earning her CPM credential and her California LM designation before founding the practice in 2008. She limits her caseload to two or three clients per month, a volume cap that allows for in-depth prenatal nutrition and health education, personalized birth planning, and the early arrival at labor that her safety assessment protocols require. Her scope extends beyond birth work into functional hormone health, with additional certification as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner that informs her approach to postpartum recovery, hormonal imbalance, and fertility optimization. Families transitioning from birth care to early childhood development find continuity through Adams Avenue's pediatric corridor, where programs at La Petite Étoile 360º Preschool provide the developmental environment that newborns eventually enter. Nuttall co-wrote and co-hosted the Birth Kweens podcast and founded Midwifery Finishing School, a mentorship program that transfers her clinical experience to early-career midwives entering the field. She has volunteered delivering babies in Senegal, West Africa, and her trauma-informed approach to prenatal and labor care reflects that international clinical exposure. Postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation is a standard referral from her practice, and the manual therapy work at Mark A. Shulman, PT addresses the musculoskeletal recovery that follows vaginal and cesarean delivery for her Normal Heights clients. Nuttall's home birth model serves families across San Diego County who choose out-of-hospital birth with a midwife whose 800-plus delivery count establishes a verifiable safety record.
