Hey there! I’m Kayla — the face behind KD Doula Co. and your personal hype girl.

I’m a mom who’s been down this road myself, and I know firsthand how overwhelming pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum can feel without the right support. My first birth ended in a cesarean, and I knew I wanted a different experience the second time around. With the support of a doula, I went on to have the unmedicated vaginal birth of my dreams — and that experience changed everything.

Today, I specialize in supporting families who want to feel confident, empowered, and in control of their birth environment. VBAC families hold a very special place in my heart.

After leaving my teaching career to stay home with my babies, it became clear: this work was my calling. I’m obsessed with birth, babies, and breastfeeding — and I’m just as passionate about fitness, movement, and healthy living.

I became a certified birth doula in 2023 and have since supported nearly 100 Richmond-area families through one of the most transformative seasons of their lives. I’m also a Certified Lactation Counselor, so I can support you through early feeding challenges with practical, real-world guidance.

I’ve always been a girl’s girl — the friend who listens deeply, encourages fiercely, and stands beside you without judgment. That’s the energy I bring into birth work: calm, grounded, and always on your team.

Whether I’m teaching comfort measures, answering those ‘is this normal?’ moments, or simply holding space for your emotions, my goal is for you to feel cared for, confident, and fully supported.

I believe birth is better when families are supported, loved, and heard. I believe birth is better when you understand your options and can make informed choices. And I truly believe birth is better when you have a doula.

I live in Chesterfield, VA with my husband and our two sons (ages 2 and 4). When I’m not doula-ing, you’ll find me curled up with a good book, baking sourdough something, or adventuring outside with my boys.
