Testimonials
"Thank you so much Kyla for helping to make the birth of our daughter a calm and joyful experience. Your assistance helped to us to achieve the wishes of our birth plan pretty much to the letter! We were so pleased to have the natural home waterbirth we had been hoping for. We could not of asked for a better entry into the world for our baby girl and your support of both of us was invaluable in that. Thank you again." - K Morcom
"Unfortunately the birth of our daughter did not go as smoothly as we'd hoped and I ended up spending a whopping 5 days in labour! Kyla arrived at our home early on day 2 as a stand in for our Doula who was stranded on holiday by an airport delay. We had never met her before but she arrived with an amazingly calm and positive attitude and immediately began helping Andy and I. She offered me massage and homeopathy and began doing everything she could to help us cope with the difficult and frustrating situation. Over the next 4 days we shared a tremendous journey and Kyla was there every step of the way. Asking questions of the midwives, preparing food, helping us getting taxis back and forth to the hospital, sharing sleeping shifts with my husband, organising acupuncture, calling other practitioners for advise, carrying, fetching, dancing, encouraging, comforting, soothing. When Alice was finally born by C-section on day 6 Kyla was still with us- she had cancelled all other engagements and proven her dedication as a doula over and above the call of duty. Quite simply- we could not have done it without her. Kyla has a wonderful sense of positivity and she is extremely sensitive to the needs of the people around her. I can't recommend her highly enough as a doula." - E Wyatt
"I had the opportunity connect with Kyla at the beginning of my pregnancy. Kyla listened and offered gentle support to my husband and I as we ventured into the unknown miracles of gestation. When facing restrictions posed by the NHS to my birthing options, Kyla was quick to seek the advice of her mentor to help us gain clarity on our rights as parents. I was very thankful for the help which Kyla gave to us. Although in the end we didn't use a doula for our birth, we would comfortably recommend Kyla to those who are seeking the wonderful benefits a doula provides." - R B F Blanchard
"Many thanks for your beautiful energy and gentle care. The pregnancy yoga session was very blissful and helped me to center myself and reconnect to my space of love, so important before giving birth... And then the aromatherapy massage you gave me was so soothing, slow flowing movements to release my tensions and wrap me into loving harmony...thank you for working so consciously! Being a massage therapist myself, I do recommend you to whoever feels the need!" - A Matuka
"You have been like Gold" - J Moncur
"Kyla Williams is an amazingly compassionate and gifted doula, healer, teacher and wise woman. She is also a wonderful human being. Kyla brings incredible openeness, insight, love, and support to any situation, and her services cannot be more highly recommended." - T Douglas
"We were recommended Kyla as a doula by two different couples, each who had had very different births but felt that the male partner was thoroughly supported to feel empowered throughout. This was of most importance to us, so the birth of our daughter could be something we shared and that the possible elements of fear were as comforted as possible. During the birth - which was rather lengthy - Kyla offered the most appropriate support for the very different stages and events. There were many decisions to be made along the way and I felt that I was heard and respected and my boyfriend was helped to keep up the energy and positive outlook to help me most. Kyla's presence was a calming influence and she was an important part of bringing our gorgeous daughter Maisie into the world." - C Watts
"I've received many massages but few have I found to re centre me, the massages I receive from Kyla are always just what I need, this being an intuitive touch with just the right pressure to re ground and soothe me very quickly. With out a doubt at some point I'll be booking my self in for another." - D Warburton
"I have known Kyla for ten years, both professionally and as a friend. Her commitment and perseverance ensured her success in every endeavour. Kyla’s energy reflects a deep personal journey, an ever present awareness of other people’s and her own spiritual needs, which she meets with lucidity, courage and compassion. In her humbleness she holds, with steady hands, a pure and shiny mirror, in which my friendship can find itself and rest when tired, be nourished when weak and feel safe when in need for a sanctuary to grow in." - J M Heart
"We wanted to have a doula at our birth as we were hoping for a home birth and felt a doula could offer not only emotional support for me but also for my husband. I was also keen to have a female, nurturing and protective presence there for me plus someone who could assist us with making any decisions during the birth that might arise in a considered, rational manner. Kyla brought all these things and more. For me my labour progressed very quickly especially for a first baby (5 hours long!) and quite simply put Kyla was my 'pain relief'! The massages and pressure she applied on my shoulders and lower back and guided visualisations were particularly helpful as well as her protective presence immediately after the birth helping to ensure my wishes detailed on my birth plan were met as far as possible. The midwife who attended my birth also commented how good Kyla was to work with. I would certainly recommend Kyla as a birth attendant at any birth and would not hesitate to ask her back to support us in any births we may have in the future!" - S Barber
