About me

At My Love Grows, I believe that every family deserves to experience the transformative journey of pregnancy and birth with confidence, peace, and love. As a certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and mother of four, I bring both professional expertise and personal experience to the care I provide. My approach is rooted in my faith in God and a deep commitment to empowering families through education and personalized support. Whether guiding parents through childbirth preparation or offering postpartum care, I help parents navigate their unique path with strength, understanding, and faith. I strive to create a nurturing environment that fosters trust and understanding, offering a holistic blend of emotional, physical, and educational support tailored to meet the unique needs of each family. My philosophy centers around the belief that education is the key to empowerment. I offer childbirth education, postpartum doula support, and photography services to guide families through the different stages of parenthood. By tapping into my training as a Body Ready Method® Pro and Evidence Based Birth® Professional Member, I help parents prepare not only for birth but also for the transition into life with a newborn. My goal is to provide families with the tools they need to make informed decisions, trust their instincts, and embrace the power within themselves as they welcome their little one into the world.

Kayla is the reason I was able to have good moments during the most difficult moments of my two pregnancies. She came to me with calm loving energy and real help . She kept me and my family strong and supported our needs when we were being treated unkind by others . She made my birth magical and anchored me when I felt unable to speak for myself. Thank you Kayla I wouldn’t go through another birth without you . You are a blessing and I appreciate everything you do.

Kayla was an absolute gift during my pregnancy and birth. Her calm presence, encouragement, and support helped me feel confident and empowered while delivering my daughter. She made me feel heard, safe, and cared for every step of the way. I am so grateful for her and highly recommend her to any expecting parent.

Kayla is truly an angel. She was amazing support for both my pregnancies. She is very mindful of beliefs and has indigenous knowledge to pass on. She is kind, stern, calm, friendly and funny. You couldn’t have a better person in the room with you.

Where to begin.... The day I met Kayla I instantly felt a sense of trust and calm. She was very understanding and listened to my concerns and wants for my birth plan for my second child. It had been about 8 years since I had given birth to my first and I was feeling nervous for birth and postpartum. She was very helpful and attentive. I felt like I could go to her and she was available for my needs. I had a very long and different birth experience and like most births it didn't go as planned. But when I say I couldn't have done it without her.... she was very supportive, kind, patient, and she was right there with me supporting the whole way. She truly is a kind and awesome person. I am so very lucky to have had her there for the birth of my child. She made my difficult and scary birth so much better. I highly recommend her to any expecting mother.
