Meghana- September 2023
“I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional support and care I received from Kayla during my labor journey. She truly went above and beyond in every aspect. From the moment I went into labor, my doula was there, offering her unwavering support and guidance, even during the early stages when I was not in active labor. Her presence alone was reassuring and comforting. She came prepared with all the necessary equipment, including exercise and peanut balls, which played a vital role in making my labor more comfortable and progressing smoothly. Her attention to detail and thoughtful preparations were evident throughout. What amazed me the most was her dedication throughout my long and challenging labor that lasted over 55 hours. Her stamina and patience never wavered, and she remained a pillar of strength for me every step of the way. Her expertise in pain management and anxiety relief through various breathing techniques was invaluable. She helped me stay calm and focused, making the entire process more manageable. Additionally, her ability to blend seamlessly with my family members created a harmonious and supportive atmosphere in the delivery room. It made a world of difference during those intense hours. Furthermore, my doula played a pivotal role in advocating for my needs with doctors and nurses, ensuring my voice was heard and my wishes were respected throughout the entire labor process. Kayla’s dedication, expertise, and compassionate presence were instrumental in making my labor experience as positive as it could be. I, wholeheartedly, recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional support during this profound journey into motherhood.”

“I’d like to give the biggest thanks there is to Kayla for her time as my doula. Kayla gave my husband and I the knowledge and resources before, during, and after the delivery. She was very helpful when I had questions, and provided comfort during any decisions that needed to be made while in labor. When we were in the hospital, Kayla was collaborative with the medical staff, and would go into more detail about what they were recommending. When our baby came, Kayla made sure we were ok, and continued to support us and check on us even when we were back home. I recommend Kayla to everyone I know that’s having a baby, and will definitely use her again in the future.”

“I am so grateful that we chose to have Kayla as our doula for the birth of our second daughter! Even though I'd already had a previous unmedicated birth, that experience was very difficult for me and my husband and I knew that we wanted a doula for any future births. Kayla made our environment peaceful and calm, she was knowledgeable about comfort measures and movement to progress labor, she was consistently encouraging and a source of stability for me during transition, and she even made some personal wishes of mine come true, such as a specific song I wanted playing at the moment of birth. My two births may have looked very similar to an outsider, but they were drastically different experiences for me and I believe Kayla's presence made the biggest impact. I would highly recommend her services and expertise to anyone looking for a doula!”

“When I found out, at 20 weeks, that I was pregnant with twins I knew I was going to need a doula that was knowledgeable, passionate, and fiercely protective of my husband's and I wishes. I was extremely lucky to find Kayla, from Bump to Beginning. She was not intimidated by the complicated nature of the pregnancy and my desire to have a natural birth. Kayla was there for me pre-birth with several visits, information, and checking in and was so gracious to answer all of my panicked questions. She worked with us to establish a unique care plan designed for my needs covering encouragement styles, coping strategies, exercises, positions, roles, delivery atmosphere and more. When I went into labor two days before Christmas, Kayla came to the Hospital immediately and hit the ground running with advocating and doing anything I needed during the stressful labor. Come Christmas Eve morning after the delivery of our sweet babies, Kayla continued to check in with me until we both felt like my hormones had steadied. I would 100% recommend Kayla for any doula needs you may require!”

“God hand picked Kayla to be my doula, that I know for sure. When I found out I was pregnant I was overwhelmed and terrified; I was a first time mom and I was alone. If there was one thing I knew, it was that I needed help during this process and began my search for a doula. I found Kayla’s contact out of dozens and trusted my gut and I was rewarded with an amazingly fierce doula, and a lifelong friend. It turned out that I already knew Kayla, or knew of her from middle and high school, we just hadn’t crossed paths directly. Kayla advocated for me and has empowered me through every step of my pregnancy and raising my now almost 1 year old daughter. I am so blessed to have her walk by my side and highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.”

“I would like to give the biggest thank you to Kayla for coaching me through my birth. She was the sweetest, most patient, and very uplifting presence to have in my corner. I am forever grateful to her for being there to ease any anxiety I had while in labor and giving birth. She was instrumental in facilitating a beautiful birth experience. Kayla was well versed in different techniques to ease the anxiety I had with my first birth. She also helped ease the contraction pain by helping me to focus on my breathing and using different positions. All in all, the professionalism, tenderness, and knowledge she presented is the reason I would highly recommend her services in the birthing process. Thank you Kayla for helping me to bring my little munchkin into the world!”
