We had Kayla as our doula for the birth of our son. From our first meeting at 10 weeks gestation, we knew instantly we wanted her with us throughout our journey.
With this being my first pregnancy, there were many worries and unknowns. Kayla was there every step of the way and really helped us to prepare for labour, birth, and postpartum. It made a world of difference in my anxiety levels.
When I was in early labour, Kayla was checking in frequently. Once I was at the hospital, she advocated for a room with a tub, where I spent hours in a calm and peaceful environment. It was magical. She knew when to offer distraction and also when to let me ride the waves of labour.
When things changed unexpectedly, she was right there, supporting both myself and my husband and providing us with additional explanations, information and the emotional support we needed. She knew exactly what to say and do in each turn of events, and that made such a difference for us.
The birth photos she captured are absolutely breathtaking and powerful. We will cherish them forever.
She was even there during my vulnerable postpartum phase, as well.
Kayla completely transformed our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey and we are eternally grateful for her. Our son will grow up knowing who Kayla is and how much of a positive impact she had on his journey earthside. Thank you, Kayla!
