Testimonial for Kayla Davis
Having Kayla as our doula was one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy and birth journey. From the moment we met her, her calming presence and knowledge made us feel at ease and confident in the process ahead.
Kayla provided prenatal support through a home visit, where she answered our questions, helped us prepare mentally and emotionally for birth, and made sure we felt truly supported. But where she truly shined was during labor.
When my contractions started intensifying, Kayla came to our home and stayed with us for about four hours. Without her, we likely would have gone to the hospital much earlier. But with her guidance and reassurance, I was able to stay home longer, laboring in a safe, calm space. When we finally went to the hospital, I was already seven centimeters dilated—something I’m so proud of and truly don’t believe would have happened without her support.
Throughout labor, Kayla helped me stay grounded and focused. I chose to have an unmedicated vaginal birth, and her coaching—especially when the baby needed to shift positions—was instrumental in making that possible. She guided me into specific positions during contractions that helped move the baby, and not long after, I was ready to push.
One of the most meaningful things she did was support my partner just as much as she supported me. Her presence allowed him to confidently focus on giving me emotional support without worrying if he was “doing it right.” We both felt like we were in incredibly capable hands, and that made all the difference.
I can’t imagine our birth experience without Kayla. She was calm, knowledgeable, and nurturing in all the ways we needed her to be. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for grounded, empowering support during birth.
