Doula? Educator? Baby Expert? Yes.
Your Birth & Baby Specialist
From preparing for birth to feeding, newborn care, sleep and everything you didn't know you'd need to know — your go-to person for all things birth & baby.
So, what exactly is a Birth & Baby Specialist?
Think of Cayla as your go-to person for everything that comes with having a baby.
She brings together the expertise of a birth and postpartum doula, prenatal educator, feeding and sleep specialist, and newborn expert—all in one person.
Instead of piecing together advice from a dozen different places, you have one trusted expert who takes the time to understand you, your preferences, and what matters to your family. Someone who can help you understand your options, prepare for what’s ahead, answer the questions you didn’t know you’d have, and help you sort through all the information that comes with having a baby.
From “How will I know I’m in labour?” to “Is my baby supposed to be doing that?”—you’ll get thoughtful, personalized education and guidance grounded in expertise and shaped around you.
And you get to decide what that support looks like.
Work with Cayla from pregnancy into life with your newborn, book an hour when you need an expert to talk something through, or take our complete prenatal education series privately.
Three ways to work together. One trusted place for your questions.
Choose the Guidance & Private Education That Fits
Whether you want someone alongside you from pregnancy into life with your baby, an hour to talk through your questions, or private education on everything from birth to feeding and newborn sleep, you can choose the support that fits you.
The Care Package
In-Person & Hands-on. Preparing for Birth to Learning Your Baby Together.
An IN-PERSON care package designed to give you personalized, expert education and support before, during and after the transition to parenthood. These sessions are from the comfort of your home.
What’s Included:
-
TWO prenatal meetings, personalized to you.
Before baby arrives, we’ll meet twice — once to prepare for birth, and once to prepare for postpartum and life with your baby.
Your Birth Prep Meeting
We’ll talk through labour, comfort measures, medications, interventions, decision-making, your support person’s role and the unexpected turns birth can take. Together, we’ll create a comprehensive, personalized birth plan that reflects what matters to you — while leaving room for birth to unfold.Your Postpartum Prep Meeting
We’ll get you ready for what happens after baby arrives, including recovery, feeding, newborn care, sleep and those first days at home — with a plan that feels realistic for your family.
Messaging & Video Calls As Needed
Questions come up, plans change, and sometimes you just need to talk something through. Reach out by text or message, and when a conversation is easier face-to-face, we can hop on a video call. -
This part is yours.
When labour begins, you’ll walk into your birth with the knowledge, confidence, and comprehensive birth plan we’ve built together. Your Birth & Baby Specialist doesn’t attend your birth—and that’s intentional.
Our work together is about preparing you and your support person to understand your options, communicate what matters to you, ask the right questions, and make informed decisions—even when birth takes an unexpected turn.
You won’t know exactly how your birth will unfold. But you’ll know how to navigate it.
We prepare together. You birth your baby. Then, I’m here for what comes next.
-
TWO postpartum visits, personalized to what you need.
Once baby arrives, I’ll come to you twice — once during those first few days at home, and again around the beginning of your second week.Your First Postpartum Visit
Within 3–5 days of bringing your baby home, we’ll focus on what you need most in that moment — whether that’s feeding and latch support, newborn care, recovery, rest, or simply making sense of those first few days together.Your Second Postpartum Visit
Around the beginning of your second week, we’ll check in on how things are going, revisit feeding, talk about sleep and newborn development, do baby’s first bath together, troubleshoot what isn’t working, support your recovery, and make a plan for the weeks ahead.
Messaging & Video Calls As Needed
The questions don’t stop between visits. Reach out by text or message as things come up, and when a conversation is easier face-to-face, we can hop on a video call. -
And if you’re not quite ready to say goodbye, we don’t have to. Additional postpartum support can be added as you need it. We’ll figure out what would be most helpful once you know what life with your baby actually looks like.

Breast/Chest & Infant Feeding Foundations
Feeding your baby is something you can prepare for before your baby’s arrival.
A private 2-hour virtual workshop designed to help you understand what to expect during the first three months and how to support your baby’s sleep from the beginning. Because it’s private, we can personalize the workshop to your family and make plenty of room for your questions.
What we’ll cover:
How lactation works — colostrum, milk production, and establishing supply.
The first hours & days — first feeds, skin-to-skin, and what to expect as your milk comes in.
Latch & positioning — comfortable positions, effective latch, and signs something needs adjusting.
Newborn feeding patterns — feeding cues, frequency, cluster feeding, and sleepy babies.
Is baby getting enough? — swallowing, diapers, weight, and signs feeding is going well.
Milk supply — what affects supply, what’s normal, and when to be concerned.
Pumping & bottles — when to start, paced feeding, and protecting your milk supply.
When feeding doesn’t go as planned — supplementation, combination feeding, common early challenges, and when to get help.
