Kaytalyn Winston Birth & Postpartum Doula in Salt Lake City, UT

I am so grateful that we had Kaytalyn as our doula. I was planning for an unmedicated birth center birth, and I ended up getting induced and got an epidural. She made me feel like I had choice at every turn and helped me to feel empowered in the unexpected. I really dislike medical environments and I’m so glad she was there as someone familiar with the hospital and their language and protocols. She understood my desires and disappointments and helped me process them all. Also, the education she offers at the prenatal appointments is invaluable. I feel like I drew on each piece of advice for birth and postpartum. All of the information felt a little overwhelming after each meeting, but I’m so so glad to have learned all of it from her. She’s a wealth of information and I know for a fact our trajectory as new parents would have been a lot more rocky without her advice and expertise.

We’ve been so grateful to have Kaytalyn support our family at home with both of our kids. She is warm, knowledgeable, and easy to feel comfortable with. Her guidance helped us feel more confident as we found our footing as parents. She also helped us with sleep for our first child, which we really appreciated! We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for support. And as a bonus, her meatballs are delicious!

Kaytalyn was our doula and I think if she hadn’t been I might have ended up with an emergency C-section! She helped me use the spinning babies technique to get my baby head down from transverse, she stayed on me to do my birth prep homework, she got me set up with a better pelvic floor PT, and so many more things. I ended up needing an emergency induction for severe preeclampsia and by the time that happened I think I was so prepared for birth that I was ready to handle whatever came my way. I was in my own world during labor so I can’t speak directly to that experience with Kaytalyn, but I know my husband is infinitely grateful she was there. She made his experience, much easier, and I’m sure mine too. In spite of needing magnesium drip, 24 hours of pitocin, and ending up with a major hemorrhage, my husband and I both felt safe, calm , and centered throughout the L&D experience, and Kaytalyn played a very large role in that. She has a lot of knowledge and seemingly infinite energy. I’d also specifically recommend her for anyone with elhers danlos or hypermobility, as she is very knowledgeable about these conditions and how they interact with pregnancy and birth. As an example, the protocol she used to help me get my baby head down was actually the opposite of what spinning babies recommended for first time moms, but she explained that because of my hypermobility we actually needed to follow the protocol for people with many pregnancies under their belt, and she was right. My obgyn care didn’t know this so I might have had a very different outcome if we didn’t have Kaytalyn on our team.

I don’t even know where to start. We have been so blessed to have Kaytalyn as our doula not once but TWICE! Both of our kiddos have absolutely loved her. The compassion she has for the whole family is top notch! Having someone who was there for me postpartum twice really was everything. She taught us so much as new parents. We will never be able to thank her enough for everything she has done for our family!

— Sarah S.

I cannot recommend Kaytalyn enough! All three parts of her care: birth preparation, the birth itself, and postpartum help were all SO helpful. I had a wonderful birth experience and am sure I would not have had the experience I did without Kaytalyn's help during and preparing for birth.

— Kate H.

Kaytalyn is absolutely incredible. Her attention to detail, prioritization of your preferences and calming energy were everything I could’ve asked for and more. She is a true expert of her craft!

It took me a while to write this review because I had to condense a novel into a paragraph. The two characteristics that I kept coming back to were Kaytalyn's support and advocacy. Throughout my pregnancy I had voiced the desire for an unmedicated birth, but when circumstances changed and I requested an epidural, Kaytalyn was right there with me encouraging and supporting my decisions while making me feel empowered in those choices. When the doctors and nurses kept pushing for further interventions, Kaytalyn stepped up and spoke out for my wishes and desires while I was in a vulnerable position. Although by birth was not exactly what I had expected/wanted because of her support and advocacy I had an empowering, magical, beautiful birth.

I was so grateful to have Kaytalyn there when my baby was born. The night I met her was the night my baby was born. I unexpectedly needed a c-section two days before I was 34 weeks. I went to the hospital straight from a doctor's appointment, which I was supposed to have gone home and had my first appointment with her, when I realized I wasn't going to make the appointment, she just so happened to call to let me know she was going to be late due to horrible traffic, when I explained the situation instead of canceling the appointment she came straight to the hospital and spent the next eight or so hours with me, helping and go through a c-section and recovery and just be there with me so my husband could be with our baby in the NICU. I was so grateful to have her there, otherwise I would have been alone after going through a very traumatic situation, very suddenly. Over the next month while our baby was in the nicu she checked on us almost daily and sometimes more. Then, after our sweet baby came home, she came and helped me with various things so I didn't so feel so overwhelmed by everything that was happening and had happened. I had no idea when we obtained her services that we would be cared for so well. I would recommend hiring her to anyone who was looking for a Dula. She was wonderful!

Having Kaytalyn by my side for the birth of my third child was everything I didn’t know I needed. She was there for prenatal preparation, the birth itself, and then continued on as my postpartum doula. With each stage, the support only got better. I delivered in a hospital, and if you know anything about hospital births, you know food is hard to come by. Kaytalyn showed up with a meal the moment she met us there, a small gesture that meant the world after an exhausting end to my pregnancy. I was 40 weeks and 5 days when I finally went into labor, and she pivoted with me through every twist of the process without missing a beat. The postpartum support was truly invaluable. She prepped meals, took the baby so I could nap, and spoke truth into me when my mind was racing with intrusive thoughts. There are very few words that capture what that kind of care is worth. It’s like having a fairy who tidies, cooks, and pours love into you when you need it most. I am forever grateful for Kaytalyn and our time together. There is so much more I could say, but to the mama reading this: hiring Kaytalyn will be the best and easiest decision you ever make

— Tabitha L.

Kaytalyn is amazing! She is patient, kind, and super knowledgeable. She helped us as we transitioned into new parents - from teaching us how to change diapers before the baby was born to teaching us strategies so to get our daughter to sleep through the night. She is a superwoman and I would work with her in a heartbeat again!!!

— Hoda E.

Kaytalyn was referred to us by friends and hiring her as our doula was the absolute best decision we made in preparing for the birth of our baby. She helped us understand our options and create a vision for what we wanted for the experience. Throughout labor and delivery she supported us as an advocate and coach for both me and my partner. During postpartum she checked in with us and answered sooo many questions that popped up in the first few weeks of parenthood. Do yourself a favor and hire Kaytalyn. We promise you will not regret it.

— Tricia & Alex B.

I hired Kaytalyn as my postpartum doula and she made a world of difference. She helped me heal physically and emotionally. If you want someone who is compassionate and wise in your corner, hire her!

— Kandice L.

Kaytalyn was amazing! Our birth was so fulfilling, joyful, and peaceful because of Kaytalyn. She was experienced, and so very caring to both me and my husband. It would not have been the same without her. Her support before, during and after birth will never he forgotten. I will forever be grateful to have had such an incredible doula on my very first birth! I definitely recommend getting her as a doula if you want just an amazing friend and support throughout your pregnancy and birthing journey ❤️

— Samanta T.

Kaytalyn is the best of the best. I had my first baby back in November 2025. Kaytalyn was very experienced on all of my prenatal and postnatal questions, and was a BIG support during my 26 hour labor process! I had a 10.5lb baby naturally and I couldn’t have done it without her! We had the best experience with her, would 100% recommend!

— Oaklie C.

Kaytalyn was absolutely critical to our birth experience back in February 2025, and I genuinely don’t think it would have gone the way it did without her. She helped us in the early morning hours (3–5am) over text and was an incredible support not just for me but for my husband too, which meant the world. She helped me achieve the unmedicated birth I had been dreaming of. When I was feeling everything in my back, she let us know that isn’t typical and gave my husband clear, specific positions and expectations to help move the baby and progress labor. Her guidance there was a turning point. She went above and beyond in ways I still think about. She helped clean me up before we left for the hospital, moved our car because we were in such a rush and then advocated for me once we were there. After birth, she stayed to be a companion, took beautiful pictures and videos, and even folded our laundry. I look back on the whole experience so fondly, and that’s because of Kaytalyn. I can’t wait to work with her again whenever we grow our family. If you’re considering her as your doula, do it. She is seriously the best.

Kaytalyn was my doula and was incredible! She helped me feel at ease with the entire process. My husband and I had some pretty specific requests and she was so helpful and accommodating. In the end my body wasn’t cooperating the way I dreamed or planned. But Kaytalyn helped me through each step and honestly made my birthing experience incredible. All the hospital staff kept saying how great of a doula she was, and said they wanted to keep her number on call just in case. If you want someone to help you no matter what your birth experience turns out to be Kaytalyn is exactly the person for you!

— Aubree E.

Kaytalyn was an amazing help postpartum. She has so much breastfeeding knowledge, I truly don't think I would have stuck with it without her. Getting through those early weeks with a newborn was so much easier knowing that we had help on the way.

— Paige W.

There are not enough words to express how amazing Kaytalyn is! She helped me get through a very emotionally challenging birth and provided unmeasurable support during a very difficult time. Her knowledge of positioning and natural pain relief is vital & her ways of knowing what you need & when you need it during transitions are above & beyond. She without a doubt was the best doula I had out of my three experiences having one! Don’t wait any longer and book her NOW for your doula & post partum needs!

— Katelynn Q.

Kaytalyn is absolutely incredible. She took the time to truly understand our birth preferences, and educate us in such a supportive, empowering way. Throughout my entire pregnancy—and even afterward as I navigated breastfeeding and postpartum —she answered every question, no matter how small, with so much care and knowledge. During labor, her presence was a gift. She is kind, caring, knowledgeable and incredibly intuitive, always seeming to know exactly what I needed in each moment. She brought encouragement, calm, and confidence to our birth experience and helped make it a truly beautiful time. I cannot recommend Kaytalyn enough. She was such a blessing to me and our family.

— Courtney L.

Kaytalyn was recommended to us by a friend, who had nothing but great things to say. I am so happy to have had her support throughout my journey—from pregnancy to postpartum. Her services were truly so appreciated and she helped us in so many ways.

— Miranda K.

Kaytalyn is absolutely amazing. She was our doula before the birth of our son and then helped care for us after he was born. We had a very difficult birth experience but her insights pre-partum probably saved me from an emergency C-section. Her help with our son probably prevented from developing post-partum depression from the extreme sleep deprivation and allowed me to continue providing breast milk for my son when I was all but ready to give up on lactating. We are so grateful for her. I would hire her for just about anything birth or baby related.

— Andra G.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Kaytalyn as our doula. It was our first child and although we did a lot of prep work for our delivery, we also really had no idea how it was going to go. Thankfully we had Kaytalyn’s experience to help guide us through our daughter’s delivery. Her grounding, calm, and supportive presence helped guide both of us. Her voice was so strong and steady, which helped me through each step of delivery. She was truly such a delight and we couldn’t possibly think of anyone else being about of our birth story.

— Ani D.

Kaytalyn was AMAZING! My birth and post birth didn’t go as planned. Kaytalyn made sure I had a beautiful postpartum experience once we got home from the nicu. She helped make breastfeeding easier and answered any and all questions I had & trust me, there were A LOT of questions!

— Allyson F.

Kaytalyn was absolutely amazing! Her knowledge on breastfeeding is wonderful! She helped around the house, made sure I didn’t over due it. She didn’t mind holding the baby while I showered or took a few minutes for myself. She also didn’t mind taking my older son outside to play when he had been cooped up all day. Kaytalyn made my post partum experience so smooth and you could tell she truly cares. She always came in dressed in scrubs and washed her hands.

— Megan K.

Kaytalyn is everything you could want or need in your pregnancy and postpartum care. She is kind and true and knowledgeable. She was truly made to do this. The best person you could partner with to provide care and knowledge. Can’t recommend enough.

— Ciera W.

AMAZING. We had the quickest most positive natural birth and we owe it to Kaytalyn. She was super open and flexible with our requests and brought even more ideas to the table. She was responsive, and truly cared about us. After our baby was born, she came to our home and really asked how I was and truly wanted to understand my feelings and support me. Her support meant so much to me. I recommend her to anyone I talk too who is looking for a doula.
