Doula Team Cayla & Kate

About Cayla & Kate

Cayla and Kate are the logical choice if you are looking for unique, comprehensive, personalized care that expands your team of support and expertise even further. Joining forces, they bring together their years of experience, additional education (lactation and feeding, infant sleep, and childbirth education), and passion for empowering families and their individual needs, values, and preferences.

Cayla and Kate often get asked how they met. Kate was looking for doula support for the birth of her second child. During the consultation, Kate immediately felt her warmth and knew she was the right doula for her. Cayla supported Kate through her VBAC which left her feeling empowered and confident, having Cayla by her side helped Kate heal the trauma from her first birth. This changed Kate’s career path, and from the beginning of her journey as a doula, she’s been working with the Cayla and the Welcome Baby Co. team. When Cayla decided working in a partnership was the next step in her doula career, she knew Kate was the perfect match.

When they’re off call, they’re time is filled with rest and being with their families. Kate recharges by being outdoors, riding bikes with her family through Fish Creek, camping, or finding a new coffee shop with a park close by. She always has a craft project on the go, usually to do with the upcoming holiday. Crocheting Halloween ghosts and sanding the trunk of a fallen tree to make a side table have been some of her favorite projects. Cayla can be found at the dog park with her dog Tom, tending to her large urban garden, canning rhubarb jam, salsa or pickled carrots, and camping with her family in their camper trailer. Welcome Baby Co. has brought her a lot of fulfillment in her work life, and she’s working on slowing down and enjoying the small moments in her personal life.

What Our Clients Are Saying

  • Our experience with Cayla and Kate was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we met them, we could feel their warmth, empathy, and deep understanding of the birthing process. As first-time parents, we were uncertain in areas, but they guided us through every step on our journey and transformed our experience into a truly unforgettable one. Kate went above and beyond during labour, her calming presence was a blessing that we both needed and she anticipated our needs. While providing encouragement throughout it all. Cayla and Kate didn’t just support us during labour, it was from the start that made us feel empowered to make informed decisions with their expertise. After coming home, we were continually supported as we transitioned into being new parents. We took the opportunity to take Cayla’s Sleep Eduction Training, it was packed with great information that has been so valuable! The format was engaging and new parents would be missing out if they did not take it. That very night, we put several things into action, it made me feel great as a new dad being able to implement that knowledge into action immediately. If you’re looking for an amazing Doula team, please look no further than Cayla and Kate as they were able to navigate the complexities of childbirth with confidence and grace. We welcomed our little girl into the world feeling amazing, supported, and surrounded by love!

  • Hands down the best help we received. We took the prenatal course, had Cayla as our birth and postpartum doula. The prenatal course was amazing and really prepared us with the information we needed. As an introvert I loved going to the classes every week and now all the parents in the group have a chat going that we can go to for advice. The class gave my husband and I all the information we needed to make informed decisions and have the important conversations before our birth. Cayla has been like our fairy godmother. Every challenge she was there with the most efficient and caring answer. Wither it was who we should talk to about our concerns or the best items to have on our baby registry. She was the best help and worth her weight in gold. My husband and I would have had a much more challenging pregnancy, labour, delivery, and postpartum without her and honestly she made some of the hardest days feel like a breeze.

  • Cayla and Kate were the most incredible doula team and I cannot recommend them enough! My husband and I hired them for their doula services for our first pregnancy and birth. We loved that we got home visits with both of them separately and that they were available to us via Whatsapp for any questions before and after our birth. My labour and birth didn’t go to plan, but Kate was there helping me through each contraction and supported me when we needed to pivot to the hospital. I felt very supported by her through the whole process and honestly don’t know how I would have managed without her! Even though you prepare as best as you can for parenthood, once baby arrives, you’re thrown into the most intense learn on the job situation. Cayla and Kate supported us so well through this transition, ensuring we established breastfeeding early on, helping us with sleep tips, calming our anxieties, and helping with baby’s first bath. We would be in a much different spot and have struggled significantly more if it weren’t for Cayla and Kate!

  • We are so grateful that we had Cayla and Kate by our sides for the preparation, delivery, and post care support of our first baby. They brought positivity and a calmness to our delivery. The support with breast feeding and parenting in the first weeks was a tremendous help. They built confidence in us as parents and were approachable with any questions we had along the way. Highly recommend them to anyone having a child. We also attended the prenatal educational course with Jenn at Welcome Baby Co. This was very helpful leading up to delivery. We used and continue to reference the literature from class and Kate and Cayla.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Cayla was our birth doula and she completely transformed our experience. I cannot recommend her enough. We were so supported, and she welcomed our questions with an openness and respect that made me feel so safe with her. We felt very prepared for when labor started, and the birth itself was almost seamless (no medical intervention or medications required until the very end until something happened that was outside of anyone's control). The last consult after baby was born was incredibly helpful. She brings a suite of expertise in lactation, feeding, and sleeping. We were advised to begin triple feeding, something that can be incredibly difficult and overwhelming as first time parents. She had a complete triple feeding system in her car, with labels and a step by step outline of duties split between my husband and myself for each feed. I was completely blown away. If you are interested in a doula I do not think you can go wrong with this one. Highly valuable service.

  • I have nothing but amazing things to say about welcome baby co. We had Cayla and Kate as our doulas and it changed everything. We felt so well cared for. I did not have the easiest birth and Cayla was with me every step of the way. Kate stopped in after when I was in post partum to check in on me because she happened to be at the hospital. Honestly the level of care from this doula team was unbelievable and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for doula support.
