I am beyond grateful to have had Kayli by my side during the birth of our twin boys. Though this was my third pregnancy, Kayli helped me feel a renewed sense of empowerment and knowledge about birth. Kayli didn’t just bring knowledge and experience—she brought a profound understanding of birth as part of God's design, empowering me to trust in my body’s ability and to make decisions rooted in faith. And, praise the Lord, my birth plan was able to be executed beyond what I could have imagined.
Though we ended up going in for a scheduled induction at 35weeks - I felt supported by Kayli every step of the way leading up to it. When the asks of doctors and the rush of decisions seemed to create urgency, Kayli’s coaching ahead of this, gave me the confidence to ask for a few minutes to think about it, ensuring that every choice was made with intention.
During the plentiful hours of labor, the extra hands of Kayli, in addition to my husband, made all the difference. They worked together for hours, walking with me and applying counter pressure as the contractions grew stronger. Their teamwork meant that no one’s hands got tired, and the constant support was everything to me. Their presence and coordination helped me stay grounded and comfortable during the most intense moments of labor.
Given the risks involved in a twin delivery, I was prepared to deliver in an OR room, just in case of complications. When we arrived in the bright, cold, sterile room, I felt a wave of fear and discomfort wash over me. In the short and blurred moments between births, Kayli made sure to ask the doctors to allow me to hold my baby before he was wheeled away. That brief pause gave me the strength to deliver our second just 14 minutes later. Kayli knew exactly when to step in with the right kind of support, and that moment perfectly reflected her intuition and heart.
After the births, when I experienced mild hemorrhaging and my husband was with the babies in the NICU, Kayli stayed by my side. The room was full of rushing doctors, poking me and moving me, and the situation felt overwhelming. But Kayli remained calm and compassionate, reassuring me with a smile and reminding me of my strength. She encouraged me to breathe, just as we had practiced, and helped me stay centered through a moment of vulnerability.
What truly sets Kayli apart is her unwavering heart of service, empathy, and respect—for both mothers and babies. It’s not just about the birth; it’s about the care she offers at every step of the journey into motherhood. Her compassion shines through in all of our interactions, long after the birth. Kayli is a true gift.
If you’re looking for a doula who will support you with wisdom, kindness, and faith, Kayli is the perfect person for the role I am forever grateful for the role she played in bringing our babies into the world, and I know she will offer the same extraordinary support to every family lucky enough to have her.
