“I believe that Peaceful & Powerful childbirth is attainable for all women who plan for it. As a vital member of your care team, I offer support in your planned pursuits and unexpected pivots, because the supported woman and family will thrive in Peace & Power.”

-Kayla, Rochester’s Birth Consultant

You are a smart and intentional mother-to-be. I know you are capable of attaining the birth you envision; however, you live in culture that is disconnected from the true process of childbirth.

Let me know if any of this resonates with you:

  • You’re unfamiliar with Peaceful & Powerful vaginal births, and unsure how to achieve this in Rochester, Minnesota.

  • You feel the disconnection to the birth world, which has led to a perpetuated fear of the process of labor and delivery and how to care for your newborn.

  • You don’t have an “insider” to the birth world, so when discomforts or ailments present in pregnancy (especially in the first trimester), you turn to Google, which doesn’t have the personal stories or experience for lesser-known options for items/products/services.

  • You have an uncertainty of the unknown, and as I hear frequently “you don’t know what you don’t know.”

Sound familiar? Let’s connect, I would love to be here for you.

PREGNANCY PARTNERSHIP

Through Pregnancy Partnership, my clients get acquainted with the tools, resources, and mindset they need to achieve a Peaceful & Powerful birth without the trauma!

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.

Birth Differently

When preparing for life’s biggest journeys it’s no secret that navigating solo is often an undesirable, and perhaps an even dangerous choice.

This couldn’t be more true when preparing for your individualized journey through pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. If you’ve ever felt like you’re just another mom entering into the complex pregnancy world, let me assure you, you’re not alone, and I’m here to help!

Hi, I’m Kayla, an experienced birth worker, who is thrilled to be your Pregnancy & Birth Partner. My life-work as a doula, midwife’s assistant and mother-of-three has shown me that when mothers receive empowering education and unwavering support, their intuition and confidence are untouchable; their empowerment and peace are awe-inspiring.

Now, let me reveal something to you: this empowerment doesn’t just happen. It’s a foundation built on making personalized choice after choice.

But, how are you supposed to select the best choices for you when you’ve never done this before? When you aren’t sure who to ask? When you’re given advice that doesn’t match your personal values?

Whether you’re trying to conceive, preparing for birth, or entering postpartum, my goal is to reveal as many choices, true choices, that you have on your remarkable, individualized journey.

And one more revelation, Mama: your power to achieve this does not lie within me; it already lives within you.

I invite you to be here. Discover your wide range of choices, partner with me to solidify the steps in your journey, and discover joy in the process.

Your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum deserve to be nothing short of extraordinary, and I’m excited to be a part of it.

With warmth and anticipation,

Kayla
