What families say

I could write an entire essay on why Kiera is the best doula you could possibly work with but I’ll try to keep this brief! When I met Kiera I was pregnant with my first child and I can absolutely attribute my success birthing an 11lb baby naturally to her incredible support!

★★★★★ — Christina, 2025-10

Kiera was an incredible and integral part of our positive birth experience. My husband and I are first time parents, and knew we wanted to work with a doula to support with the birth of our baby.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, 2021-04

Kiera is such a light and an incredible human being. She was my doula for both of the births of my two boys. While both births couldn’t be more different, her support was unwavering. My first son came 5 weeks early and we unexpectedly had to pivot from a birthing center to a hospital induction.

★★★★★ — Grace, 2025-01

Kiera was my doula for my first birth in 2018 (hospital), for my second and third in 2020 and 2024 (homebirths). She filled me with knowledge that helped me through my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Being a repeat client was so special.
