Partnering with you for a confident & empowering birth
Personalized guidance for your journey to motherhood.
“If you want to birth in Peace & Power, you need plan to birth differently.”
You received a positive pregnancy test: let’s keep the positivity going through all trimesters!
The common maternity care standards in America don’t exactly showcase positivity:
An impersonal Maternity Conveyor Belt is the most common route through prenatal & maternal health care.
More than 1 in 3 couples experience an unplanned C-section (CDC)
Nearly 33—45% report painful birth trauma (NIH; March of Dimes)
The majority of women are subjected to confusing, often outdated, institutional policies during labor
Planning to birth differently starts way before the 3rd trimester, It starts today.
You’re in the right place :

As you can see, the solution is NOT to “go with the flow” and “hope it goes well.”
Serving women & families through my experience as a doula and midwife assistant has shown me what midwives & doulas witness again and again:
High-quality birth preparation & individual birth personalization are the keys to experiencing
Peaceful & Powerful Birth.
Client Testimonials:
“As first time parents, my husband and I had lots of questions and didn't want to get conflicting or bad advice from Google. We wanted someone who was intentional on building relationships with her clients, passionate, and knowledgeable in her field. Kayla has met our expectations and then some! Kayla gave great advice about baby, relationship tips, listened intentionally and asked clarifying questions to make sure she understood before and after baby our came. Our birth was peaceful, our birth was powerful!”
— Rachel & Joe, first-time parents
Additional Testimonials
During my pregnancy, I felt weighed down with the constant flow of other’s input, stories, or trauma about their birth experiences. Kayla’s voice could not have been more different. Her words were so welcomed as they were saturated in encouragement, rooted in knowledge, and incredibly insightful. During every meeting I would end up taking notes on my phone with new thoughts, questions I was eager to discuss with my husband that day, and left with an anticipatory heart for what was to come. She is uniquely gifted to encourage and educate in ways you did not know you needed.
— Mel, first time mom
