Client Testimony
I never thought that home birthing would be for me because I didn’t think I was strong enough. But Kayla helped me realize how much strength I had and that I was made to do this. I had the pleasure of giving birth to my fourth child at home with Kayla as my midwife and it was the best experience of my life!
My first baby was born unnecessary c-section which crushed me. My other 2 babies that followed were VBAC, born in a hospital. I never loved my experience because of being in the environment that I was in. So when I got pregnant with my 4th baby, I knew I wanted to do things different. I was hesitant if I could really do something that was out of my comfort zone. But I knew I wanted to avoid the hospital if I was able.
Kayla was so amazing walking every step of the way with me. She made me feel so at ease and comfortable and empowered me to believe in something so much bigger than I have ever imagined. I felt such peace and excitement throughout my pregnancy.
When I had my baby, it was a fight to get him out, nearly 5 hours of pushing! Kayla was there through it all with me, we worked on so many techniques to get baby positioned the right way to come out. I somehow tapped into this strength I didn’t even know existed and I truly owe so much to Kayla for this. Not once did I think of just calling it and driving to the hospital. I was a warrior ready to take on anything and it was so worth the fight! I had my baby in my home and it was the most beautiful, magical, healing experience I have ever been through! I give her the highest recommendation!!! I only wish I would have had her for all 4 of my babies!!

We had an amazing opportunity to work with Kayla as our mid-wife for the birth of our second child. She was wonderful from the start. We wanted someone who would hear us, understand our desire and come along side of us during this journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Kayla is very knowledgeable and experienced. She has a lot of wisdom and expertise in the realm of pregnancy and birth. We always felt comfortable bringing any questions or concerns to her. The birth was fantastic! We were so thankful to work with Kayla. I would say now she is more than an amazing midwife but also a close friend!

Our experience with Kayla was phenomenal. From the very first meeting, we felt like we clicked with her and decided we wanted her to be our midwife for the birth of our first child. Kayla’s love for midwifery, babies, and mothers clearly drives her work. She also took the time to get to know me and my husband. I loved the prenatal visits, which felt like leisurely chats with an old friend every time! I especially appreciated Kayla’s holistic approach to prenatal care and her guidance on diet, exercise, and mental health. By the time our son was ready to be born, we felt more than comfortable with her and trusted her completely to take care of us during the big event. During the birth, Kayla was so kind, respectful, and reassuring. She respected the birthing space we had created and my choices. When circumstance necessitated getting out of the birth pool and a more hands on approach, Kayla was quick on her feet and calmly and professionally made decisions to maintain the best outcomes for both me and baby. After our son made his arrival, Kayla was so gentle with him for the newborn tests and measurements and ensured the golden hour after the birth stayed golden. In the end, we can say that our birth experience was empowering and transformative, and we have Kayla to thank for that!
Love and gratitude,
