Here is what Mama's & Partners are saying about Fireweed Birth & Beyond!
TaberLee R.
Kayla was such a blessing to our family! We are so glad we decided to have her as our doula.
​
She empowered me through education during our prenatal appointments, helped me learn tools for advocacy, and was an amazing asset to my birth team. Kayla's support helped me to achieve the physiological birth that I valued! She provided a calming, reassuring presence throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period.
She is a fantastic doula whom I would highly recommend!
Jeriah R. (TaborLee's Husband)
As a partner I really appreciated the resources that Kayla provided to help me support my wife throughout her pregnancy and birth. It meant a lot to me that she also considered how I may be feeling and helped me to have a better understanding of what to expect at the hospital.
During my wife's labor and birth, I noticed how Kayla was communicating with the staff to make sure they understood our birth plan. She stepped in whenever I needed a break and made sure the nurses respected our wishes when we needed space. Kayla's medical knowledge and kind personality helped me to feel more confident in my ability to support my wife

Kayla is professional, kind, and easy to talk to. I was able to enjoy my second birth with my son who was almost 10lbs on my small 5’3” frame. Kayla helped me feel empowered, safe, and well taken care of with her medical knowledge. I will never forget her support during my pregnancy and birthing experience.
It is because of Kayla that I felt confident in my decisions and didn’t feel like I had to cave under pressure during any of my medical appointments and loved that I had footing to stand on to make informed choices.
She’s such a sweet person but became my personal bodyguard in the delivery room when I needed her to be and I am forever grateful for her presence and experience. My birth would not have been as smooth as it had been without her, I know that without a doubt!

Hiring a doula was a hard decision for my husband and myself. This was my first birth experience and that came with so much uncertainty. Ultimately we decided to start looking for a doula because I wanted my husband to have support during the birthing process (know how to advocate for our family, understand how to be involved, and how to help the overall birthing process).
What we found? We found a doula who not only supported my husband, but became the most crucial member of my birthing team. Kayla is EXCEPTIONAL! We were late to the game since we connected with Kayla when I was 34 weeks and delivered at 37 weeks. The amount of information she was able to give us in such a short time made my birthing experience empowering, calm, and supported. She helped us navigate decisions about not only the birthing process but also my son’s health in his first minutes of life. She continued to be a rock into my early postpartum days.
My advice to any family struggling with the decision about hiring Kayla…do it! The value she brought to my birth made a somewhat chaotic induction feel calm. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. She is your sounding board and support when you’re too tired/overwhelmed/pressured to advocate for yourself.
We loved working with Kayla and will absolutely be hiring her for our future births💕

Kayla was a Godsend.
I really wanted a doula for my second baby, as I didn’t have one with my first and there was a lot I had envisioned for that birth that didn’t go the way I wanted. I met Kayla at the time I was searching, and loved the way she described how she supported mamas before, during, and after the process. I connected with her and am so grateful to have had her as my doula. She helped me put to words the vision I had for the perfect birth, and helped facilitate achieving it through gentle communication, reminders, being so present throughout it all, and helping maintain clear communication.
Before the birth, she gave such great resources for preparation, and helped me feel calm and confident in my birth plan. She was very respectful and not overbearing at all, gave space when it was needed and was right at my side when I needed her. What stood out to me was not just how incredibly supportive she was before and during the birth experience, but how she stayed hours after just to make sure we were ok, settled, happy, peaceful with baby in arms, and that really meant a lot to us.
I would definitely recommend Kayla as a doula, and know that you’d be in really great hands!

Having a doula gave me clarity going through that process. It would not have gone as smoothly without Kayla.
