KAYLA DAVIS | TRUSTED RICHMOND BIRTH DOULA

Supporting Hospital, Birth Center, Home Births, VBACs in Richmond, VA and Surrounding Areas (Chesterfield, Midlothian, Glen Allen and Beyond)

I believe your birth experience should leave you feeling supported, calm, and confident. My role as your doula is to provide steady guidance, comfort, and encouragement throughout pregnancy and birth— so you never feel alone in the process. From the sound of a reassuring voice to the steady touch of a hand, I help create an environment where you feel grounded and cared for.

Every detail of your birth matters. The lighting, the words you hear, the members of your care team, the way you feel in your body— all shape how you will remember this powerful moment. I’m here to support your choices but also provide evidence-based information, and help you tune into what feels right for you. With practical tools, emotional support, and a peaceful presence, I’ll be by your side so you can focus on meeting with baby with strength and confidence.

  • “Kayla was, without a doubt, the most incredible support person I could've asked for during the birth of my daughter. My goal was to have an unmedicated physiological birth and there is no way I would've achieved it if it wasn't for Kayla supporting me through every contraction, helping me change positions, and encouraging me to find the strength I didn't know I had."

    —  Maria D., first time parent

  • "Kayla was an essential part of the best birth team I’ve ever had. During my second unmedicated birth, she blended effortlessly with the midwife and nurse and helped create a calm, grounded space that let me stay present as things quickly progressed. She supported both me and my husband in a way that kept us emotionally connected, and the ambiance she set in the room made everything feel safe and intentional. When I told her I was afraid, she stood strong with me, steady and reassuring. Kayla’s presence was warm, intuitive, and encouraging, and she helped make my birth experience truly empowering. We cannot recommend Kayla enough!"

    -Morgan H., second time parent

  • "Kayla was there every step of my labor to provide encouragement, counter pressure, help me get into better positions, and provide invaluable emotional support. My husband and I are so grateful to have had her. She also took the most AMAZING pictures of my daughter being born and her golden hour, and we will cherish those forever!"

    — Victoria N., first time parent

  • “Kayla answered my 2 a.m. call with excitement and patience, immediately making me feel safe as I labored and made my way to the hospital. Throughout the day, she was an invaluable sounding board as I navigated decisions, and the moment she arrived to the hospital brought an instant sense of comfort. She was there in the depths of my contractions - reminding me to breathe, applying counter-pressure, and helping me stay present and focused. Kayla was also an incredible support for my husband as we welcomed our first child. She was the ultimate cheerleader: pushing me when I needed encouragement, calming and comforting me when I needed it most, making me laugh in moments I didn’t know I needed, and surrounding our family with so much love when our son was born. Seeing her again at our postpartum visit and watching her hold my son was incredibly special because she was such a meaningful part of his birth story, and ours!”

    -Allie M., first time parent

  • "Kayla came to my house twice during my long early labor, helping me through contractions with counter pressure techniques while giving my husband a break so he could get some much deserved rest. With Kayla by our side, we labored at home for approximately 48 hours and that made all the difference and gave my husband and I confidence to stay home as long as possible. Because of Kayla, I had the unmedicated birth, albeit a 60 hour labor, with no intervention, minimal tearing, and delivered a healthy baby girl. Kayla will definitely be part of our birth team again should we have any more children. My husband even said multiple times "I don't know what we would have done without Kayla, she was amazing and so helpful." We can't recommend her enough!"

    -Erika E., first time parent

  • "Kayla is hands down the best doula in Richmond! We met her about a month before our baby’s due date, and right away, her warmth, caring nature, and reliable communication made us feel confident and secure in choosing her for our first child. Although we wish we had found her earlier, as it would have given us more time to connect and benefit from her support, even in just a month, she made a huge difference. We’d choose her again without hesitation! If you’re considering a doula, Kayla Davis is the one. Thank you so much, Kayla!"
