What Families Are Saying
Kaliahna attended our birth in July for our 3rd baby. I was going for a VBAC. I knew I wanted to labor at home as long as possible and that I needed support from someone who had more knowledge of labor and birth than my husband and I. The entire experience with Kaliahna was more than I could have hoped for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula. We spent time together beforehand so she could learn more about the kind of labor experience we hoped for and so we could get to know each other better. Kaliahna excels at communicating; she is easy to talk to and a great listener.
I called her in during labor as soon as I needed some extra help to get through my contractions. She was quick to offer ideas as well as hands on help if I wanted or needed her to. I told Kaliahna that I needed verbal support and I vividly remember her words of encouragement throughout the entire experience. My son was born only 10 mins after we arrived at the hospital so even though the transition/pushing stage was fast and furious she was there to support us the whole time.
She is a warm, peaceful person, a great listener and advocate. I truly believe she has an amazing personality for this role and that she will bless any mommas/families who choose to have her at their side. I am so grateful to Kaliahna for all she did in helping me get my VBAC and bringing my little man earth side. - Natasha Webb
I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding support provided by Kaliahna during my entire birthing process. Her unwavering presence, not just for me but also for my mom, mother-in-law, and husband, made the journey so much more meaningful. The most impactful moment was when my baby was born and struggling to breathe. Kaliahna told me “speak to him, let him know you’re here, say his name!!” Her guidance to speak his name brought forth his first cry from across the room– a moment etched in my heart forever. She not only assisted in the physical aspects but also made me feel strong and empowered throughout. Thank you for being an amazing part of this life-changing experience!

I'm blessed that my sister, Kaliahna, was my doula for my second child. Going through pregnancy, labor, and delivery as a single mother, there can be some worry. Kaliahna brought her knowledge, experience, and peace to my situation. During labor, she was right by my side helping me focus on following through with my planned natural delivery. Her voice, words, and touch were encouraging and comforting through it all. She knows what to do and when to do it, from counter pressure to rubbing my back, from praising at the right time during transition labor to celebrating the incredible joy of bringing new life into the world! She was supportive through the whole experience and I would recommend her to anyone preparing for a baby!—Karalissa Cutler
