Kayla has such a calming and supportive presence, and she came to me when I was in a tough place--newly postpartum and triple feeding to combat weight issues with my 2-week old. She was incredibly efficient--taking baby so I could get a much-needed nap, making my healthy snacks and lunches, helping with laundry and bottle cleaning, tidying, and even making dinner. But the most impactful thing Kayla did was walk with me through a tough emotional spot. She was so knowledgeable when I needed advice, and so supportive when I needed a friend. The work she did in my home was temporary, but I will always remember the light she brought to me at a hard time in my life. Hiring her was the single best thing I did post partum and I will be forever grateful to her.

Kayla is truly a lifesaver for new parents!

 


We were incredibly fortunate to have Kayla as our postpartum doula after the birth of our baby, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she arrived, she brought a calming presence and a wealth of expertise that immediately put us at ease.

 


As first-time parents, we were overwhelmed by the sleepless nights, endless feedings, and the sheer adjustment to this new chapter of life. Kayla not only helped us navigate the challenges of newborn care but also supported us in learning how to be confident, capable parents. She offered invaluable advice, practical tips, and reassurance when we needed it most.

 


But her care didn’t stop at just the baby. Kayla made sure our entire household felt supported. Whether it was preparing meals, tidying up, or simply encouraging us to take much-needed breaks, she went above and beyond to create a stress-free environment so we could focus on bonding with our baby.

 


Perhaps most importantly, Kayla helped us reclaim our sanity during a time that can feel so chaotic. Her gentle guidance and emotional support were just as impactful as her hands-on help. Thanks to her, we were able to not only survive but truly enjoy those precious early weeks.

 


Kayla has a gift for what she does, and any family would be lucky to have her by their side. She’s not just a doula—she’s a partner, a guide, and a true advocate for new parents. If you’re considering hiring Kayla, do it—you’ll be so grateful you did!

As soon as I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted to hire Kayla as my doula! I had a doula throughout my first pregnancy and it made all the difference!
My goal was for an unmedicated hospital birth this time and I knew Kayla was able to achieve this herself so I was looking forward to her guidance to achieve the same!
Kayla was always there for me to ask questions, ease my mind with concerns, and motivate me to stay active throughout my pregnancy! Through labor we remained in communication throughout the day and she suggested techniques to get labor going and comfort measures to try on my own. Once my water broke things picked up quickly and she was ready to leave to meet me at the hospital as soon as possible! She got there just in time for me to start pushing and her counter pressure and support was everything! Having her there and the education in our prenatal visits gave me the confidence I needed to advocate for myself to get me my dream birth!!!

If you are considering hiring Kayla as a doula do it she is an amazing supportive doula!

Kayla was, without a doubt, the most incredible support person I could've asked for during the birth of my daughter. With this being our first baby, my husband and I were on the fence about hiring a doula and for a while didn't think it was worth it. Now we can say without absolute certainty that hiring Kayla was the BEST decision we could've possibly made. From the moment we met her, she was nothing but kind, positive, affirming, and communicative. My goal was to have an unmedicated physiological birth and there is no way I would've achieved it if it wasn't for Kayla supporting me through every contraction, helping me change positions, and encouraging me to find the strength I didn't know I had. During postpartum, she has been an invaluable mentor and friend. I have recommended her and will continue to recommend her to every single pregnant friend.

Kayla did an amazing job as our birth doula! She has a warm, friendly, and heartwarming personality. We had two prenatal visits: the first to draft our birth plan and the second to practice birthing positions and review labor and delivery. Kayla was excellent at answering our questions and educating us about the various options and what to expect. She also provided printed materials for us to refer to later. We had a very long labor, and Kayla was at the hospital with us for over 20 hours, offering constant support and encouragement and guiding us through different birthing positions. Her presence really helped make our birthing a positive experience. We feel very fortunate to have had Kayla as our birth doula and would highly recommend her to other expecting parents.

Kayla is hands down the best doula in Richmond! We met her about a month before our baby’s due date, and right away, her warmth, caring nature, and reliable communication made us feel confident and secure in choosing her for our first child. Although we wish we had found her earlier, as it would have given us more time to connect and benefit from her support, even in just a month, she made a huge difference. We’d choose her again without hesitation!

If you’re considering a doula, Kayla Davis is the one. Thank you so much, Kayla!

As a first time mom, I had some worries and anxieties surrounding my pregnancy and birth. Hiring Kayla as my doula was the best decision I could've made because she made me feel so comfortable and reassured. She was always so understanding and responsive to my needs. We created my birth plan together and she made sure it was exactly what I wanted. It was my goal to go as low intervention as possible, but I ended up having to be medically induced. However, thanks to Kayla I still had a beautiful induction experience! She was there every step of the way to provide encouragement, counter pressure, help me get into better positions and provide invaluable emotional support. My husband and I are so grateful to have had her there for the birth of our daughter. She also took the most AMAZING pictures of my daughter being born and her golden hour, and we will cherish those forever! I highly recommend Kayla for your empowering birth experience.

Kayla was so helpful in helping my husband and I prepare for the birth of our daughter. We met twice prenatally and Kayla was able to walk us through the labor process. She answered our questions promptly and was always available when needed. When I had specific concerns about a provider, Kayla talked me off a ledge while holding my hand and making me feel heard. I highly recommend Kayla as your birth doula. If you are looking for someone who is calm, knowledgeable about birth and the options available in the Richmond area, energetic but not over the top, Kayla is your girl.
