Hello! My name is Lindsay. I'm a certified birth and traditional postpartum doula in Utah County and have been supporting families since 2017. I believe pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood are physical events, and also deeply emotional and spiritual ones—a great becoming. Because of this, my work is mother-centered, and blanketed in ritual and ceremony. You deserve to be held and witnessed. When I'm not working with postpartum families, you'll find me spending time with my three children, dreaming about traveling the world, and singing and knitting with my community.

We’ve been lucky to have Lindsay as our birth doula for all three of our kids, and most recently as a postpartum doula. I had a hard time understanding why I’d want a postpartum doula with my first two births, but I’m SO glad I went for it this time around! Having Lindsay come over was a highlight of those first few weeks. She came with her arms full of food, teas, cozy cushions, sound bath instruments, etc. Each week she’d bring food that I picked from the menu (all of it was so delicious and nourishing), and would guide me thru whatever session I had chosen (sound bath, gentle movement/stretching, guided meditation, closing of the bones ceremony). She has a very calming energy about her and I just feel at peace when she’s around. She helped around the house while she was here like washing the dishes, sorting and folding laundry, things that pile up in the busy-ness of having a newborn. She is truly a delight to work with and I’m forever grateful that she was here for us during the most important events of our lives.

Hi, I’m Kaila — birth mentor, labor doula, and host of A Mother Is Born. I believe birth should feel like a big deal — in the best possible way. My own experience giving birth was transformational. I felt honored, trusted, and supported throughout. It was beautiful and powerful… and also incredibly rare. Most women I know didn’t feel that way about their births — and that’s what pulled me into this work. I support women who want something more from their birth experience — whether they’re preparing for the first time or recovering from a difficult past one. I offer in-person doula support in Utah County, and virtual birth mentorship to families anywhere. I’m especially drawn to: Parents who see birth as a major life event — and want to plan it with care, not just "go with the flow" Parents who had a birth that left them feeling disappointed or traumatized — and who want a different story this time My approach is rooted in values: self-trust, autonomy, and honoring the body’s wisdom. I don’t believe in rigid checklists or cookie-cutter plans. I focus on helping you figure out what matters most to you, and then build a plan that supports that. I’ll teach you to advocate for yourself — and I’ll step in to back you up when needed. You won’t be alone. My favorite part of this work? The women. The honest conversations. The deep relationships. Watching someone grow into motherhood with intention and power is the biggest honor of my life. A few personal things: I’m a very type-B personality. The bad? My car is always a mess. The good? I am flexible, intuitive, and empathetic. In my personal time, I love learning the names of all the local plants. It's probably an even nerdier hobby than learning about birth! I have a deep weakness for dark chocolate, and never go to bed without second dinner. I truly believe that birth can be one of the most powerful and positive experiences of your life — when you have the right support. I'm excited to meet you!

I can’t find the words to say how grateful I am to Kaila. She helped my husband and I achieve the birth experience we so hoped for and for that we will always be grateful. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kaila to any friend or family member or anyone looking for an organized, loving, kind, knowledgeable doula in Utah county :)

Sheali Forsyth

Sheali’s journey into midwifery began at the age of sixteen when her mother gave birth to her youngest brother at home. While attending her mom’s prenatal appointments she became fascinated by the personalized care a home birth midwife offered. Hearing her brother’s heartbeat and seeing ultrasounds connected her to pregnancy and birth in a way that absolutely mesmerized her. The experience left a lasting impression and from that moment on, she knew she wanted to become a midwife, and help families experience the same sense of love and empowerment. Sheali’s advice to her patients: You have to find your own way. There will be lots of voices telling you what to do. Birth is a trial run for parenthood, it includes setting boundaries and deciding what you want for yourself and your family. If you don’t feel safe in a hospital, have your baby at home. If you only feel safe in a hospital, that’s where birth will be best for you. A stressed mom makes for a difficult birth… Find an environment and team that puts you at ease and you’ll be setting yourself up for a positive experience! Sheali is currently working with a group of midwives. Clients get the benefit of Sheali's primary care, but the additional support of two additional midwives at the birth. This collaborative approach provides the families she serves with the personalized, relationship-focused care they deserve while also benefiting from the wisdom, and clinical insight that comes from the group's years of hands-on experience.

Sheali was amazing support at the birth of our son. We had some unexpected complications, resulting in an emergency c-section and she was instrumental in keeping the environment calm for us as she reassured us and advocated for us, helping us make last minute but informed decisions. She has a very calm presence, was very positive, and helpful on our preparation leading up to our birth. She made us feel confident with our birth plan and prepared us for different situations that could come up. Complications notwithstanding, we have incredibly positive feelings towards our birth experience and so much of that has to do with having Sheali there. We’d recommend her to anyone wanting to be informed and empowered in preparation for and during their labor and delivery experience!
