MEET THE woman behind Cycles of becoming
Hey, I'm Kayla!
Kayla is a doula, mother, biomechanist, and structural integration bodyworker who combines movement, somatic processing, and myofascial support techniques to help your body access more spaciousness and ease. She combines her 10+ years working with birthing families and countless hours of study in well women's care, classical Chinese medicine theory, and whole human physiology to support women to come into deeper relationship with their body.
She believes the body is an intelligent ecosystem whose only constant is to seek homeostasis and that when we learn to listen and adapt to our body's unique language, we reach a capacity and resilience for the dynamic creative process of life to move through us. The body is never static, and Kayla's support is aimed at understanding the patterns and stories that create the experience each of us has within our bodies because she's seen the way the body will organize towards health when it is properly nourished.
You are the highest authority of your body and experience, and when you build trust with your own body, it has ripple effects on life itself. Supporting you to build that trust is the passion that drives Kayla's work.
Relationship- centered care rooted in traditional wisdom
20 years as a therapeutic bodyworker
12 years as a birth & postpartum doula
Women were never meant to move through life’s thresholds alone.
Birth, motherhood, loss, matrescence, and perimenopause are not problems to be solved or phases to rush through — they are profound transformations that shape who we become.
Yet modern systems of care often ask women to disconnect from their bodies, override their needs, and abandon themselves in the process of caring for others.
I help women reconnect with the wisdom held within the body and the greater cycles of life itself.
My approach is rooted in the understanding that healing happens through deep tending: through being witnessed, supported, nourished, and cared for within community.
As we unwind inherited patterns of depletion and disconnection, we create greater capacity to live, mother, create, and relate from a place of wholeness — with ripple effects that extend far beyond ourselves.
All offerings are designed to provide grounded, relational support through the cycles of life — helping women reconnect with the wisdom of the body, cultivate greater capacity, and move through transformation with deeper tending and community.

some kind words from the women I've supported
“
Kayla’s quality of presence is both ego-less and fierce. She is a talented healer and offers the kind of safety that allows others to expand. I am lucky to have found a friend and a guide in her. When the time came to push, Kayla reached out a strong hand and pulled me forward as my son emerged. I watched her act as both a coat and a shield: ensuring that I felt comforted and also that my authority as the person giving birth was respected by the medical team. The process of delivering my son was the most powerful event in my life. I have Kayla’s clear intention as a doula- for one to know their own power as they give birth- to thank for that.

I recommend Kayla to anyone at any stage of their life at any time, period, full stop. Not only does she cultivate a deep relationship with and understanding of her clients, but she also has the experience and acumen needed to navigate the turbulent world of pregnancy, childbirth, and mothering. Kayla heard my wishes, listened to my ideas, and most importantly-acted on them. If anyone has the opportunity to work with or know Kayla, they are truly blessed in this life.

Kayla is an incredible doula and masterful massage therapist. I had no idea what to expect when giving birth, and she helped me learn so much and feel so well prepared. She was right with us the whole time at the hospital and helped me feel safe and supported. My husband expressed how much he appreciated having her there, as it gave him the confidence to know how to best support me during labor. Her presence was such a gift to our family.

Kayla was an INCREDIBLE doula for myself when I attempted a VBAC in 2018. I am not really a touchy feely type of person and was hesitant to essentially have a stranger in the delivery room with us but that ended up not being the case at all. Kayla was very comforting during the lead up process and answered any and all questions I had and was my biggest cheerleader. She helped me immensely during birth and was right by my side taking photos and guiding us through everything. I believe 1000000% we would have not been able to have a vbac (with a 10 pound baby!) without her help! I'd do it over and over and over again with Kayla by my side!

I have known Kayla for 6 years. She was my childbirth educator… who then turned into my doula and masseuse. She gave me the best, deepest prenatal massage and relieved so many of my pregnancy pains. AND THEN… she was massaging me postpartum, in my home, during a coveted newborn nap time. And my newborn woke up during the session. She told me to stay, attended to my baby, rocked him to contentment, and held him while massaging me with one hand. When I tell you no other masseuse would do this for you, NOBODY ELSE WOULD DO THIS FOR YOU. I also learned some calming techniques from her. I knew Kayla was special but I didn’t truly realize it until that day.
We have turned into true, deep, connected friends because of our experiences together and I cannot recommend her enough. (Many of my mama friends have thanked me for referring them to Kayla!!!)
To know Kayla is to be lucky enough to feel her warmth. I hope she can continue to spread that warmth, love, grace, strength, and foundation to mothers and people for years and years to come.
