Kayla Apple - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Kayla

I’m Kayla, founder of The Melanated Apple, and I believe mothers deserve to be mothered, too. ✨ As a full-spectrum doula and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, I offer birth support, feeding guidance, newborn care, and daytime and overnight postpartum support. I also bring a softer touch to your fourth trimester through belly binding, herbal baths and foot soaks, gentle relaxation massage, and calming sound experiences. Imagine having someone help you settle your baby, bring you a warm foot soak, and make space for you to exhale. That’s the kind of thoughtful, personal care I love to give. From your first questions to your quietest postpartum moments, you deserve care that feels as good as it is supportive. 🌺
