Birth is one thing that we are built to do but is so much more enriching when you don't have to do it on your own.
​
I'm sure that the people around you are happily providing stories and input about labour and delivery whether it's wanted or not. Their stories are not your story and ​I'm happy to say that I have attended many wonderful and empowering births that dispel the birth horror stories. I want that for you too.
​
I will work with you during pregnancy, birth and beyond to make sure you feel like you know as much as you need to and are confident in your birth choices and decisions before the big day arrives. The birth is not all that matters though and I will also help you prep for postpartum. There's a lot to learn and I'm here to provide the roadmap for you to get where you want to go.
​
Let's do it as a team and maybe even have some fun along the way!

Are you interested in support but have no idea what a doula does?...
First let's talk about what a doula doesn't do...
​
We are not the same as a midwife. Midwives provide medical support/intervention during pregnancy, labour birth and 6 weeks postpartum.
​
A doulas role is to be there for you with information during pregnancy and birth, physical support during labour and emotional support before, during and after baby is born.
​
When hired, I am available to answer any and all of your questions, provide you with evidence based information and reassure you as much as needed.
I will visit your home for two prenatal meetings where we will typically go over your expectations of the doula experience, birth preferences, answer questions, show you comfort measures for labour, pain coping strategies along with discussing many other important topics.
​
I love getting to know my clients more through these meetings and develop a connection before providing birth support.

Meet Kayla Kent-Jarvis
Owner, Registered Massage Therapist, Doula & Childbirth Educator
Since the births of my 2 children I've wanted to help other people have positive birth experiences. It becomes very clear once you are pregnant that those seem to be few and far between but I sincerely don't believe it needs to be that way.
​
​I want to change the narrative around birth so more people are going into the birth space with confidence and leaving without trauma.
​​​
Choosing birth support is an incredibly personal decision. When possible I love to meet in person for a get to know you chat to see if it is the right fit for both of us.
