Kayla Wolfe
Owner, Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula - CD-L/CD-P - Pro Doula & DSA Badge & Prenatal Educator - VBAC Specialist - CPST (Certified Car Seat Tech)
​
Kayla has always been captivated by the process of birth—the perfect blend of vulnerability and strength. One of her favorite quotes perfectly sums it up: “Labour is when women are at their most vulnerable and their strongest.” (Author unknown.)
​
A proud mom of two and wife to her husband, Kayla knows firsthand how life-changing the journey to parenthood can be. Her family is her greatest inspiration, driving her passion to support others through one of the most transformative times in their lives.
​
With a deep commitment to helping families embrace their culture and traditions during birth, Kayla is dedicated to making each family’s journey uniquely theirs. Whether it’s a hospital birth or a home birth, she offers comfort, care, and a little humour to lighten the load (because sometimes, laughter really is the best medicine).
​
Kayla is trained and certified as a Birth and Postpartum Doula, DSA Badge holder, Prenatal Educator, VBAC Specialist, Certified Car Seat Technician (CPST), and has completed four Perinatal Mental Health Courses through Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Trainings.She believes the beauty of birth lies in its endless complexity—there’s always more to learn, and she’s here for all of it.
​
Whether guiding you through a class or standing by your side during labor and postpartum, Kayla is honoured to be part of your journey.
​
Kayla is also a big fan of outdoor adventures—camping, hiking, and traveling are some of her favorite ways to recharge. On Wednesday nights (fall/winter), she trades her doula gear for a curling broom and joins her team on the ice (her hip-squeezing skills make her a champion sweeper!). But don’t be fooled—one of her absolute favourite places is curled up in bed with fresh sheets and a good night’s rest.
​
For Kayla, being a doula isn’t just a job—it’s a calling to empower families and celebrate the strength that comes with bringing new life into the world.
