About Cayla

Cayla is a Birth & Baby Specialist, doula, educator, and co-founder of Welcome Baby Co. Since beginning her doula career in 2017, she has had the privilege of supporting more than 300 families through pregnancy, birth preparation, newborn care, feeding, and the transition to parenthood.

Known for her evidence-based, practical, and compassionate approach, Cayla helps families feel informed, prepared, and supported as they navigate one of life's biggest transitions. She believes there is no single "right way" to give birth or parent a baby, and instead focuses on providing personalized guidance that aligns with each family's unique values, goals, and circumstances.

Over the years, Cayla's work has evolved beyond traditional doula support. Drawing on her experience as a Birth and Postpartum Doula, Birth Photographer, Lactation Educator, and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, she now specializes in helping families prepare not only for birth, but for the realities of the first few months with a newborn. Her areas of focus include birth preparation, postpartum planning, feeding support, newborn care, and helping families build confidence during the transition to parenthood.

A lifelong learner, Cayla is currently completing her Bachelor of Business Administration while pursuing certifications as a Baby-Led Sleep and Well-being Specialist and Certified Lactation Counsellor.

In 2020, Cayla and Jenn founded Welcome Baby Co. with a shared vision of providing families with trusted education, personalized support, and a sense of community. Together with their team, they have supported more than 3,000 families through prenatal education, doula services, feeding support, sleep guidance, and postpartum care.

When she's not supporting families, Cayla can be found tending her urban garden, perfecting her espresso-making skills, camping, exploring Calgary's pathways, or spending time with her partner, Alex, and their children, Parker and Kate, and their Yorkie, Tom.
