True LOVE Birth Services

If there is one person, besides my husband, that has had a positive impact on my pregnancy journey it is Kayla. She made me feel confident and empowered in each decision and unexpected turn. Her calm presence and mindful encouraging words made me feel at ease and ready for what’s to come. I consider Kayla a valuable part of my birth team. She was at my hospital birth with an OB and my home birth with midwives and if we have more kids, she will absolutely be there! I can truly say that with each experience, Kayla made sure I was well informed of everything that was happening (especially in a chaotic hospital environment) and advocated for me. Every family member and friend that I have recommended Kayla to, have been very grateful to have her as their doula. She is also a wonderful photographer and has captured beautiful memories of my pregnancy and newborn photos. Kayla is someone you meet for the first time and you feel like you’ve known her your whole life. I’m very blessed to have her as part of my birth story. We love you Kayla!!

I’d hire her all over again!
From the first phone call with Kayla I knew that I needed her at my birth. Her voice was calming and caring. She was very knowledgeable and relatable. We had several calls, texts and in person meetings leading up to labour and delivery. It felt like I’ve known her for years! She took beautiful maternity photos for us as well. I had several days of Braxton hicks and she stuck close by communicating and staying updated incase she needed to rush to us. The day of labour and delivery we were texting back and fourth she was very reassuring that I knew my body. As soon as I decided she came right over! We decided on home birth and rented her birth pool which was amazing! She was an all-star crating buckets of water to help fill up the pool (my husband and I didn’t measure the hose ahead of time haha oops), checking on my well being and making sure my husband was doing good also! She applied counter pressure and suggested other coping strategies for natural pain management. She reminded me that I was safe and in control of my birth story, that I was empowered and she had my back. She took amazing birth photos for us and captured the special moment we got to meet our son! She came over a couple weeks later for after care, bringing a beautiful thank you gift which included her version of my birth story! I cannot say enough great things about her! She’s so sweet and truly cares about you and your baby! If you are thinking of hiring a doula/ birth photographer Kayla is your girl!! You will not regret it!

Kayla was amazing right from the moment when we hired her. She really takes the time to get to know you as a person, what your birth plan is, and how your labours were in the past if applicable. She wants to help you feel confident before going into your labour. She has EVERYTHING you will need for your labour. She is very knowledgeable. She is the reason why I was able to have my unmedicated birth. She keeps you focused and positive. She is very easy to communicate with. She would check in on me prior to going into labour. She would check in after birth as well to make sure me and babe were doing great. She helped with getting the baby to latch after birth as well. All in all I just felt SO CONFIDENT before labour, during labour and after labour. My only regret is not hiring her for birth photography as well! Will definitely hire her again should I have another baby. Thank you Kayla!!

Hiring Kayla was one of the best decisions we made with our second baby’s birth. Kayla was there to answer any questions I had before my birth. She addressed all of my fears of the birthing process (even though I have already done it once), going over every detail with me with explanations, reading and even diagrams. She took more time with me than I was expecting and it really showed me that she cared and I felt so comfortable and trusting with her. It was a beautiful thing going into labour feeling not only totally mentally prepared, but having someone to be my coach and help me physically through the birth process. My second labour progressed really fast, and she met us at the hospital and was with us every step of the way, even hours after birth. She even came for a postpartum check up and brought the sweetest gift. Without going into too much detail, everything that she did for us was above and beyond what we were expecting for prenatal and postpartum care and will be remembered and appreciated forever. If you are looking for a Doula, Kayla is incredible and is highly recommended.

We hired Kayla as our doula for the birth of our first son and what a wonderful experience it was from day one! Kayla is a patient, kind and gentle soul. She provides this level of support and comfort that is unparalleled. Even in the midst of the pandemic, Kayla ensured we always felt supported. She provided us with virtual meetings during the pregnancy for education, support, for us to ask questions and to help us form a birth plan. We had decided on a home birth and Kayla was so supportive and encouraging of this. Kayla arrived during my labour with all the options for pain control. She helped advocate for me during my labour when I was asked to move into a position that didn't feel right for my body. Then there was her gentle hand to help me latch our son and learn to breastfeed for the first time. The check ins with Kayla post birth were my favourite, it was amazing to have someone so knowledgeable and non-judgemental to ask all your questions to!

Kayla was affordable, understanding, easy to work with and communicate with and is just an all around lovely human. She was born to be a doula and it just radiates from her when you meet her!! I would recommend her a million times as a doula!!

My son is now 14 months old and my spouse and I had such an amazing and empowering experience that we still smile and laugh about it!!
