Kayla Wolfe
Owner, Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula - CD-L - Pro Doula & DSA Badge
​
Kayla has always been drawn to the power of birth and intrigued by the process. She and her husband personally experienced a strong, supportive network throughout her own births that was a life-changing part of their parenting from the beginning. It was also her birthing experiences that pushed her to follow her passion and become a doula so she could offer that same level of support to other families and new parents.
Kayla was raised in the Metis community and culture in a family that identifies as Metis. It is these life experiences that drive her passion to help families embrace their culture and traditions during birth. She is driven by the comfort she can provide to families in each stage of birth and postpartum in both hospital births and in-home births. Kayla feels very privileged to have the strong relationships she does with the incredible doctors, midwives, nurses, and other health care professionals in Kamloops.
Kayla completed her Birth & Postpartum Doula training and certification with ProDoula, and has her DSA Member badge. In her eyes, one of the most fascinating things about birth is that no one knows everything about it, so there’s always opportunities to learn more. This fuels her love for continued education.
Kayla feels honoured to support you alongside the incredible and passionate team of doulas at Birth Matters. In 2023, Birth Matters will continue meeting and supporting your families both in our classroom known as Modern Nest, and during your birth and postpartum journeys as you bring new life into the world.
