August 2025 Doula Support.

Having Cayla and Kate on my birth support team was the best decision possible. The prenatal, labour, and postpartum support they offered was both meaningful and incredibly memorable.

During our prenatal visits Kate and Cayla brought up so many things we hadn’t considered and helped us to plan for birth and postpartum without overwhelming us.

When my baby boy decided to come unexpectedly four weeks early, Cayla was ready to go and at my side as soon as I wanted her. She helped to turn my hospital room into a calming space using affirmation cards, a galaxy light, and a Bluetooth speaker. When it was time for me to make decisions she helped slow things down to allow me to consider my options.

Most importantly, when my baby was taken to the NICU after only a few minutes, Cayla stayed with me so my husband could be with the baby. She helped me collect colostrum, held my hand as I was receiving stitches, and reassured me that my baby was ok and in the best possible hands.

Kate was incredibly patient and visited us several weeks after birth, and helped us through some sleep associations and techniques to help our baby boy go down for naps.

My husband and I, who hadn’t originally considered hiring a doula, are so incredibly grateful that we chose Cayla and Kate as our Doula’s and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for extra support at their birth.

I signed up for doula support during labour from Kate and Cayla, and being a first-time mom, I am so happy that I went with these ladies. The support they provided from answering my stupid questions during prenatal phase, to helping me out with postpartum challenges, was immeasurable. Above all, they were absolutely phenomenal during my labour in bringing me comfort and providing moral support. Keep up the awesome work, ladies!

We just finished the 7 week night class, and we learned a lot. I am in the health field and already knew a lot of basic information about the birth process and recovery, and it was great to go more in depth! My husband and I are feeling quite confident and excited about going through it and meeting our little baby on the other side. Thanks, Jenn!

Cayla and Kate were awesome. It was my first birth and they helped me feel prepared and confident. They were a wealth of knowledge and answered all my questions.

Through my actual birth, Kate was awesome. She was supportive and helped me find different pushing positions. She knew when to stand back and let my partner help, and when to come back in again.

After the birth Cayla helped me troubleshoot some breastfeeding challenges I was having. She tried more techniques with me than the lactation consultant at the hospital.

Both Kate and Cayla were crucial to my confidence in my first birth. Thank you both! You were lovely!!!!! :)

Amazing!!

Jenn and the sessions were out of this world. Very informative and educative. It exceeded our expectations and beyond.

Good attention to detail and well worth it. We highly recommend Welcome Baby Co. as your number 1 prenatal classes in Calgary!

We even got follow up emails with so many references about everything you can imagine about pregnancy and birth! The workbook is awesome to fall back on as well. This course has helped us really prepare for the birth of our child and we are so excited! Thanks Welcome Baby Co for everything! <3

We attended the Welcome Baby Co class in preparation for our first child and learnt so much. Jenn created an amazing environment to learn and feel safe asking questions. We also used their lactation support postpartum and got incredible support, again from Jenn, that completely changed our breastfeeding journey for the better. We’re so grateful to have worked with Welcome Baby Co for this stage of our life. Our confidence as parents increased tenfold and we’d highly recommend, especially for first-time parents!

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Kate and Cayla as a team. Each of these wonderful ladies brought their own knowledge and 'energy' which we loved. The visits after baby came were most helpful and we really valued the reassurance and caring support. We also appreciated the non-judgemental and open approach that the team had in answering our many questions as first time parents. Highly recommend!

My husband and I recently completed the weekend course and we would highly recommend it. The material covered in the course was extremely relevant and delivered in a very thoughtful manner. We ended the weekend feeling far more confident compared to when we started and we can't recommend Jenn enough. Thank you Welcome Baby Co.!

We signed up for the 7 week class but unfortunately only got to attend 3 because our baby decided he wanted to surprise us with an early arrival. The classes we did attend were fantastic! Engaging, helpful, and we left feeling more prepared. I highly recommend Welcome Baby Co.!

Someone in our group created a group chat and almost all of us still keep in touch and talk daily. That’s been the biggest blessing from taking this class and I hope that future classes do this too because having the support from this group of new moms has been a lifesaver!

I am very glad that a family member recommended Welcome baby co to me for postpartum help after I had my twins. Cai'lin, our doula is so helpful and calm in all situations. She goes above and beyond to help me with anything I need, whether with the babies, or around the house. She is knowledgable in all baby matters, can smoothly take care of twins and is a great organizer. I would highly recommend to any new Mother who is able to get some help in the busy days postpartum.

My husband and I recently completed the weekend course with Welcome Baby Co. and we are so happy we chose them for our prenatal classes. Jenn made the classes equal parts fun and informative, and it was a judgment-free zone when it came to questions and preferences. Definitely recommend to those who are expecting!

BEST RESOURCE EVER!! The baby prep classes are a MUST for new parents! We learned so much that gave us a huge advantage when baby came. We actually felt prepared and low stress in the days leading up to the delivery knowing we were armed with knowledge.

Also, can't say enough about the positive experience of hiring a doula through Welcome Baby. Kinda thought it would be a "first pregnancy only" thing but NO WAY! Hoping to have a second in a couple of years and I wouldn't even consider not having a doula. Words cannot begin to explain how grateful both my husband and I were to have a doula. It would be like taking a long flight without flight attendants....doable but way more comfortable to have the support there. Thank you Welcome Baby team!

Cayla and Kate were fantastic through my pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I highly recommend them!

Cayla and Kate were referred to me by a co-worker and they were the right choice! Cayla and Kate heard me out about my first birth begin traumatic and clearly understood I did not want that experience again. When it was time for my labor and delivery Kate was right by my side the entire time and my biggest support. She was able to use her voice and her hands to support me through my labour and delivery. Her voice was my focus and exactly what I needed to obtain the birth I wanted. I will always be grateful for Kate in my heart.

This team is competent, experienced and empathetic. All the perfect things for Doula’s to be.

The pricing is reasonable and competitive.

Their communication is top notch from day one.

I highly recommend this team. Thank you so much for being apart of my birth redemption journey. Couldn’t of done it without you! ❤️

Cayla and Kate are amazing. I felt a connection immediately after I met them and thought I can trust them. I had an unexpected early birth so it was the first time to meet Kate at the hospital, but I was so comfortable with her. She supported me for the whole time. It would be very different experience without her. They also supported me for breastfeeding which helped so much. I also appreciate that they are easy to reach whenever I have concerns or questions. They are so knowledgeable.

I'm so grateful to have such wonderful doulas.

Kate and Cayla are truly the ultimate doula dream team! I could NEVER have prepared for the birth of my baby without their support before, during and after. They both listened carefully to my birth goals and taught me how to advocate for myself with my OB. During labor, Kate gave me the confidence, reassurance and support I desperately needed to have an incredibly smooth delivery. She was with me through every single contraction, equipped with tools and breathing strategies, for MANY hours and helped to calm, ground, and guide me during a very intense labor. Even when I started to doubt that I could make it through labor or began to feel impatient that I wasn’t progressing, Kate knew exactly what to do and say to support me. I had the birth of my dreams, and I 100% attribute it to Kate and Cayla!

My husband and I just finished the weekend group prenatal class. We cannot recommend Jen enough! Her course was detailed, interactive, engaging, and based in research. We feel way more prepared for arrival of baby than we did before and we're so glad we found Welcome Baby Co.

My wife and I took the 7 week baby prep classes with Jenn and it was all we imagined and more as first time parents! We looked forward to the classes every week because Jenn was such a treat to learn from! She’s funny, interesting, well spoken and full of useful information. Her class outline and structure was super clear, concise and full of tips without it being overwhelming. Every week was very impactful and we took so much from it! In fact when the classes were finished we missed attending them!

We surely would not have felt as confident and supported without the help of Welcome Baby Co. We used their amazing doula services, lactation consultant and prenatal classes and we’re so glad we did!

We feel so knowledgeable and empowered and ready to now bring a baby into this world and would highly recommend Welcome Baby Co. A huge bonus is getting to meet other expecting parents at the same stage, and Jenn gets people connecting in her classes without it being awkward. If you’ve been searching for the right prenatal class to take, this is the only one. All the best! J&E

Cayla is an outstanding doula, we are more than lucky to have had her care and support during the most important day of our lives! My husband and I will reflect back on our delivery for years with such a fondness for Cayla, she was an essential part of our experience. She held my hand from the car to the labour & delivery unit, counted down my contractions, calmed the atmosphere in the birthing room to something I will never forget (turned off the lights and projected the northern lights on the ceiling!) and stayed much longer than I expected (as a first time mom, my birth was a long one!) She also snapped some photos that I will treasure forever! She came to our home a few times prior to delivery and since our birth has been to our home a couple times more. Shes assisted us with breastfeeding, given tips on setting up the nursery, sleep training and more!

She made me feel strong and supported when I felt weak, she was in my corner no matter what! Cayla never left my side and most importantly, I never once felt judged by choosing a hospital birth or even an epidural. She is truly a gift of a human and I can’t recommend her more!
