I have lived in Florida all my life. My happy place is by the ocean listening to the waves. I am married to my college sweetheart and we have 3 beautiful, wild boys. I became fascinated by the magic and mechanics of birth during my first pregnancy in 2013. I had an emergency c-section followed by medicated and unmedicated vaginal births in 2016 and 2019. For all three, I had the same doula by my side sharing her 30+ years of wisdom. In 2023, I formalized my training and certifications and have been focusing on doula work full-time. Aside from parenting my sons, it is my biggest privilege and joy to serve mothers in this vulnerable time, and I look forward to knowing and serving you during your journey. I strongly believe it is the right of the birthing person to choose whatever path is right for them. Every body, baby and pregnancy is different. If you choose me to be by your side, my promise is to help you and your partner bring that vision to life. Knowing birth can be unpredictable, I will do everything I can to ensure you feel safe, loved, empowered and strong every step of the way. I would love to talk with you about your wishes for your birth. Get in touch with me today to set up a free consultation.

I am the owner of Root & Recovery Holistic Studio. For the past 16 years, I have practiced as a Licensed Massage Therapist, helping individuals understand their bodies, manage physical discomfort, release tension, and experience the restorative benefits of therapeutic touch. Over the past five years, I have also had the privilege of supporting families throughout their pregnancy and birth journeys. What began as a passion for helping expectant mothers feel comfortable, informed, and supported has grown into a deeper calling to provide comprehensive doula care. Throughout my career, I have learned that our bodies are wonderfully capable, but they also benefit from preparation, education, movement, and compassionate support. That philosophy is at the heart of my approach to birth. A Different Approach to Birth Preparation As a Certified Body Ready Method® Pro, Body Ready Birth Teacher, and Better Birth Pro, I bring together my background in therapeutic bodywork with specialized education in birth biomechanics and childbirth preparation. My approach goes beyond traditional emotional support. I believe that preparing for birth involves nurturing the mind, understanding the body, building confidence, and learning how movement and positioning can support the natural processes of labor. Through my doula services, I offer: Prenatal Preparation: Personalized education, birth preferences, emotional support, and practical preparation for labor. Birth Biomechanics & Body Ready Method®: Movement, positioning, and body awareness to support comfort, mobility, and physical preparation. Therapeutic Prenatal Massage: Specialized bodywork to ease muscular tension, encourage relaxation, and support physical well-being. Partner Education & Involvement: Practical tools to help your chosen support person feel confident and actively involved. Continuous Labor Support: A reassuring presence, comfort measures, encouragement, and advocacy for your informed choices. Postpartum Support: Compassionate guidance and nurturing care as you recover, bond with your baby, and adjust to your growing family. Your Birth. Your Choices. Your Experience. I believe there is no single perfect way to give birth. Whether you envision an unmedicated birth, choose medical pain management, plan a hospital delivery, or experience an unexpected change in your birth plan, my role is to help you feel heard, respected, informed, and supported. My goal is not to direct your birth experience, but to help you enter it with knowledge, practical tools, confidence, and a trusted person by your side. I want you and your family to feel that you are active participants in your birth journey, not simply passengers along for the ride. Let's Prepare for Your Birth Together

While living in Charlotte, NC we got pregnant with our son & I was immediately in love with learning everything that I could about pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. The more I learned the more I became overwhelmed and amazed at the work of the woman’s body in this intense time period. I got a doula who helped me understand so much about the birth process and I could never have been thankful enough for the role she played in allowing me to have a birth I can look back on with fondness. Throughout this process she helped me realize this is something I could do myself for others! I then connected the dots between my previous interest in counseling and newfound love for pregnancy and birth and realized that being a doula would suit all my loves: helping people through HUGE life events & birth. I am passionate about women feeling equipped and empowered to have the birth that they desire- medicated, unmedicated, planned, spontaneous, etc. As a Birth Doula I plan to help guide you through the pregnancy with education, support, and preparation for birth and postpartum. I will assist and encourage you through labor in the way that we decide would best fit you and help as you adjust to life with a new baby.

Kahla was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. She is a wife and mother of three, one daughter and two sons, ages 13, 7, and 3. Kahla's own experience during the birth of her first child led her to discover her passion for supporting others on their journey through pregnancy, birth and beyond. After a somewhat traumatic first birth experience, Kahla and her husband made the decision to hire a doula for their second child's birth. It was during this experience that Kahla recognized the profound impact a doula can have on the birthing process. Her newfound passion for empowering and supporting expectant mothers and families led her to become a doula herself in 2017. Kahla completed her Doula Training Course through DONA International. In the seven years since, Kahla has been a steadfast presence in the Jacksonville birth community serving families in hospital, home and birth center settings. She understands the profound, life long impact of childbirth experiences.
