Hi, I'm Kailyn!

Like many moms, I had a lot of fear surrounding my first birth and my identity in this unfamiliar realm of motherhood.  Unfortunately, despite reading the mainstream pregnancy resources and attending my hospital’s birth class, I was very ill-equipped to have a positive birth experience—and didn’t even realize it!  No one gave me the real information to help me make best choices—I just did what I was told by peers and care givers, without warning that the “standard” might not be best for me or my baby.

Upon bringing Baby Girl home, my experience had left me feeling disconnected from her and un-empowered as a new parent.  My second birth was totally different!  This time I had prepared my body and learned what would be going on in it, so that I didn’t have to fear the birth process. I had practiced coping strategies, and felt strong and capable of handling my contractions even though it was the hardest work I had ever done!  I came away with a new identity as a “mama bear” that has stuck with me through the beauty and challenges of three babies since then.

Through a miscarriage, a Rainbow pregnancy, and a traumatic pregnancy experience, I realized another gaping need for new parents is someone who will validate them.  Rest assured.  There is a sensitive, listening ear to help you unpack your experiences and emotions, and move forward in healing for a healthy perspective of yourself and your parenting role.

Your experience matters.

So now, I’m here for you!  As a childbirth educator, birth doula, postpartum doula and loss doula, I'll be your personal guide through pregnancy and beyond. I'll meet you wherever you are in your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. My goal is to help you and your family be truly informed, and have as positive of an experience as possible (as defined by YOU!), while also supporting you through whatever difficulties there may be.  Personally, as a Christ-follower, I seek to bring love, respect, and compassion to parents from a variety of belief backgrounds.  Ultimately, I want to be your safe space.

 

By your side,

"During labor she was very supportive and just guided me in what I wanted and I really appreciate that she never tried to tell me what she thought was best, but guided me in what I thought was best.  I don’t know what I would have done without her!"

"Kailyn is so compassionate and generous with the care she gives. As a midwife, I have seen her in action in a doula role and she’s great. She’s so all in. Totally recommend her."

-Lauren, Certified Professional Midwife

"When you're with your wife and she's in pain and under a lot of stress giving birth, you're trying to keep her relaxed. It's hard! You just want to do everything you can for her. With Kailyn being there with us it was sooooo nice. She was holding my wife's hand and talking to her while I'm applying counter pressure on her back, and using her soft spoken voice to relax her. It was just amazing. Having someone there that has given birth and knows exactly what it's like and what my wife was going through, knows exactly what to say to help her relax. I would recommend Kailyn for a doula without the slightest hesitation! She's really great!"

-Tony Garcia

"I’d seen so many stories about new moms struggling with their mental/emotional health and didn’t want that to be my story. I truly believe that on top of continuing my supplements, placenta encapsulation helped me find a balance and kept me calmer — I could absolutely tell a difference on the few days I forgot to take my 'chill pill!'"

-Lauren McCoy

"Kailyn was my doula at the birth of both of my babies, the first in the hospital and the second at home. Kailyn was a breath of fresh air each time! Her support during my pregnancies was so helpful, and her calming presence during labor was a God-send."

-Cassie Garcia

"What would I have done without Kailyn!!
I didn’t think that I’d even want a doula until I met Kailyn, and heard her advice, and how supportive she seemed."
I had some stresses during my pregnancy, and it was nice to have her to turn to when I didn’t want to add this to my boyfriend’s worries, or didn’t want to call the OBGYN; Kailyn was always here to help me feel better, find me the right information online, send me documents about a subject.
She also help me find the right hospital for us. I mean she really went above and beyond for us.

"Thank you for being here Kailyn♥️ you are an amazing doula!"

"She was very attentive, and seemed to know just what to say, when to remind me to relax, when to offer water or a snack or hold a fan to cool my face. She also helped my husband feel more confident in how he could support me. I can’t recommend having a doula enough! It is a must! And I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Kailyn."
