Meet the Birth Doulas
Kayla Wells Smith, CD (DTI), HCHI, HCHD (Hypno-doula)
I am a homeschooling mom of two little boys and wife to a musician who also works as a freelance
videographer. We have three beautiful cats (which is admittedly too many), two fish, and a gazillion “roly
poly's" outside that the kids claim as pets. I enjoy gardening and researching everything.
My introduction to doulas came when I was 36 weeks pregnant with my first child. My midwife looked at
me and said, “You need a doula.” I had no idea what a doula was, but she gave me an email address for an
amazing doula who eventually attended the birth of my first.
When my first little guy was just 7 months old, I found out that I was pregnant with my second. I promptly called my doula friend who said, “You need Hypnobabies!” I signed up and took the Hypnobabies class she was teaching at the time and never looked back! My Hypnobabies birth was amazing! My husband and I could hardly believe that birth could be so comfortable and calm! After a fabulous second birth experience I decided that I wanted to be a part of helping families have the best birth for them. I started by becoming a doula. I trained with DONA International. In 2014 I decided to begin the process of becoming a Hypnobabies Instructor. I love helping families become educated about childbirth and supporting them through pregnancy.
