Kayla is a certified postpartum doula, birth doula, and lactation specialist on our team. She has always intrinsically been invested in the health and wellbeing of those around her. She has a bachelor’s in Community Health and has always been interested in women’s reproductive health and wellness. She became a doula because she was always interested in the beautiful, physiological process that is the birth of a child, which led her to her journey as a maternal health practitioner and lactation support specialist.
Kayla believes it takes a village to support a new baby. In that village, the care of the new mother can and does go overlooked. In her own personal experience, she found herself elated to be a new mother but also struggled with feelings of exhaustion, pain, confusion, and anxiety. She knows how hard it can be for new families.
As a postpartum doula, her goal is to nurture the mother so that she can give her baby the best love and care; to provide moms with physical, informational, emotional and spiritual support on a holistic level. She educates and guides moms with lactation support so that they and their babies can enjoy a long and successful breastfeeding journey. She loves providing mom and baby a serene transition into motherhood.
