Testimonial for Cayla Caufield CD(DONA), LCCE, CLE

Our experience with having Cayla as our doula was very positive, albeit much different than what we had anticipated our experience to be. We initially met with Cayla ahead of COVID19 and decided to hire her to be our birth and postpartum doula. We really enjoyed Cayla's cheerful personality and fact-based approach and knew she would be a good fit for us. About 1.5 months prior to our baby's due date, the COVID19 lockdown started and our ability to utilize a doula in a traditional way was no longer an option. We were no longer able to have an additional support person in the hospital and Cayla was not able to come to our home to offer postpartum support in person. Like so many other facets of everyday life, Cayla quickly transitioned to offering her services virtually. We had our pre-birth sessions over Zoom and made a game plan as to how she could offer support during the birth of our baby without physically being there. During the birth of our daughter, Cayla made herself available to us at all times of the day and night. We checked in with her regularly over text, video chat and phone call and she offered us advice throughout the process. While I would have far preferred her to be with us in person, we also appreciated her willingness to adapt to this new normal. Likewise in our early postpartum days, we reached out to Cayla regarding a variety of issues and she was quick to respond and guide us to resources that were exceedingly helpful in answering our questions. It's our hope that we might be able to utilize Cayla's doula support in a more traditional sense at some point in the future if/when we have another baby but we were still thankful to have this extra line of support in this uncertain time even if it wasn't what we initially thought it would look like when we started down the path.
