Kayla is the calming force that we underestimated how much we needed. We weren't sure if we needed a doula but because it was our first child we wanted to give everything a try. Our baby came sudden and 5 weeks early. We had only had the initial meeting with Kayla but that didn't stop her from giving us her full support. Her knowledge about the process, body's signs, and the hospital was so valuable.
She stayed with me in the early stage while my fiance could grab the bags from the car and get us food. She taught him different holds and techniques to help me through the contractions. She brought her TENS machine for me to use which was a huge help!
We weren't sure if we wanted photos of the process but we figured that we could always not use or keep them. Kayla captured beutiful and intimate moments between my fiance and I during labour and then with our new baby right after she was born. We are eternally grateful for them.
Kayla was patient, non-judgemental, and empathetic. She struck a great balance of supportive comments, helping physically, and knowing when distactions were needed.
