Testimonials

  • “Kayla validated the hard work and self education we’ve done since our daughter’s birth. She met our questions and concerns without judgement and truly supported us. Kayla introduced us to her 5 pillars of empowerment and reassured us that we are doing what is right for US (that’s important). We walked us through what we could expect on an institution level with the health system - what possible interventions might be offered and what we could do or say in the event that our intuitions started waving red flags. I just don’t feel like there is any information out there for parents that are in this position, so this was huge for us! For the first time, it felt like we finally knew what to do. Kayla gave us the confidence to know that if something doesn’t feel right, we should lean into that and trust in our beliefs and intuitions. We left our meeting feeling incredibly grateful, but also extremely empowered with our decision.

    If you take nothing else from this review, take this:

    The resources and wealth of knowledge Kayla can provide is invaluable. She provided answers that we didn’t think existed. My only regret is not knowing her sooner in our pregnancy journey!”

    -Jenna, 2nd time mother

    “Kayla was very knowledgeable and understanding during our free consult regarding my second pregnancy. I would highly recommend seeking out her expertise on pregnancy and birth to any mom, first time or not! I am already looking forward to our next consult and feel better equipped for this birth with the education and resources that Kayla has provided.”

    - Kailee, 2nd time mother

  • “Kayla was a phenomenal doula for my first time pregnancy! She walked my husband & I through every step of making confident decisions for a natural birth in the hospital setting. She definitely helped us navigate going overdue to 42 weeks and requiring an induction. But she assisted me to have an unmedicated birth and feeling empowered before, during, and after labor! Thank you Kayla for all your service, support, follow up and love!!!”

We wanted someone who was intentional on building relationships with her clients, passionate, and knowledgeable in her field. Kayla has met our expectations and then some!

It was so valuable to have one consistent person outside of my midwives care team who knew birth and myself so well. I felt spoiled to have all of Kayla’s expertise so easily accessible to go to with questions. That individualized educated care is invaluable and lead to great confidence in accomplishing my goals for a non-medicated peaceful redemptive birth with my second child.
