Kaila Mikenzie Fredrick

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 :)

Kaila is an incredible doula! She made the birth I'd dreamed of a reality. As someone who has now given birth both with an epidural and without one, this experience was far better. Kaila helped me so much through this experience, her counter pressure and words of affirmation really pulled me through each contraction. She was extremely helpful leading up to birth and helping us prepare. She helped my husband know how he could help and play an active role as well. I'm so grateful we found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula! I couldn't have given birth unmedicated it without her.

Kaila was there through my first pregnancy and labor. Her Kindness and soft nature stood out to me, making me feel instantly comfortable and safe. Her knowledge and respect for how I wanted to labor built my confidence and made me feel In control of my experience. My labor was fast and intense, from evening into the night, and the whole time she was by my side giving her all! I could not have done what I did without her help, I’m very grateful to have found her. Thank you Kaila!

I’m very grateful that I had Kaila there for my birth experience, before and after! She helped me feel educated and prepared before birth, in a very neutral way, helping me to find my own choices and feelings about things. During the birth she was very helpful for me through labor, I feel she really got to know me before birth to know what I would need during birth. I had told her I typically respond good to words of affirmation and she used that knowledge to help me during labor which was super helpful and probably the biggest thing that helped me through it all! Will 100% be recommending her to anyone and everyone🤍

We had a precious baby girl on June 18 of this year. I was stoked to be a mom but super anxious about the whole birthing process. All of this was new to me as a first time mom. I was afraid of the pain more than anything! Kayla was so helpful in not only informing me on phases of labor (which I wasn’t aware of prior) and what to potentially expect in each scenario but she also made me feel empowered in knowing my options and making informed decisions. Kayla also helped my husband to feel a part of this process. Before we started working with Kayla, my husband was struggling with knowing how to support me and feeling quite discouraged by it. This was a big deal for us both— watching my husband’s confidence grow in his ability to support me allowed me to view the whole birthing process in a positive light. During labor, Kayla was so attentive and thorough making sure that I was comfortable, as well as ensuring that my birth plan was being honored in the hospital setting. While in labor, I realized how easy it is to not speak up for yourself when you’re in pain. I was grateful that Kayla had my back when I wasn’t able to articulate or clearly express my wishes in that moment. Eventually, I had decided to get the epidural after I felt like I couldn’t deal with the pain anymore. I felt a bit disappointed in myself. But I listened to my body and that’s what I felt I needed at that point. Kayla reminded me that my birth process wasn’t less significant because i got an epidural. She helped me to see just how powerful my birth experience truly was. I cannot recommend Kayla enough! It’s clear that she is passionate about the work she does. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to have someone as understanding, knowledgeable, and devoted as Kayla to prepare + support me in bringing my greatest blessing earth-side!

Kaylia is such an amazing doula. She was with us the entire time. And advocating for us at the hospital and checking in with us after the birth. Would recommend her to everyone.

- Brody Poppleton

She made my unmedicated birth possible. Came to my house and helped prepare me and my husband. She taught my husband and I some coping strategies for contractions which was crucial to me when the time came. I felt so much more like my birth was a partnership with my husband and I vs me just going through the pain and him sitting in the room not knowing what to do. She really made a world of difference. Very organized, understanding, and attentive. She really cares about what she does.

- Heather Clyde

Words cannot express how thankful I am to have had Kaila as my birthing doula. I had a traumatizing medicated birth with my first and I was on the search for someone who would help me reach my goal of going unmedicated, educate and provide me with plenty of resources to help me make informed decisions, and teach me and my husband how to advocate for those decisions. Kaila checked all of the boxes and went above and beyond! She listened to my concerns and supported me and my decisions through the end! My labor was very short and I had my sweet little boy in less than an hour of arriving to the hospital. Although Kaila was only at the hospital for a short while, she wasn’t shy and hopped right in to help me get through my contractions. Because Kaila helped me gain more confidence and provided me the tools to get through labor and delivery, I was able to give birth to a 10lb health baby boy unmedicated!

Where to even start — 10/10 experience with Kaila as my doula! She is kind, SO knowledgeable, helped answer all my questions, and was respectful of my desires/wishes about my birth. She helped make my unmedicated hospital delivery everything I hoped it would be and I truly could not have done it without her. Kaila was an amazing resource leading up to labor/delivery with her prenatal visits, and was available anytime I had questions or was looking for more information on certain topics. She was calm and reassuring throughout labor and I felt supported 100%. I am so so grateful for her and would recommend Kaila to anyone looking for a doula.

- Rachel Ludwig

We are so grateful for Kaila and the incredible support she provided during our birth experience. From the start, she was knowledgeable, respectful, and truly invested in helping us have the birth we envisioned. Her calm presence, encouragement, and expertise were invaluable, and she played a critical role in making my wife’s unmedicated birth a success. Kaila not only supported my wife through every stage of labor but also helped me feel confident and involved throughout the process. We couldn’t have asked for a better doula—she was an essential part of our birth team, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, professional, and skilled support.

I cannot recommend Kaila enough as a doula! From the very first home visit, she put me at ease with her warmth, knowledge, and calming presence. She helped me feel so prepared for birth through her guidance and exercises, and her home visits were incredibly helpful in answering all my questions. When it came time for labor, Kaila was an absolute rock. She provided both emotional and physical support that I truly couldn’t have done without. Her ability to assist and keep me grounded during such an intense experience was invaluable. Kaila went above and beyond to ensure I felt cared for and empowered throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for someone who is compassionate, skilled, and truly dedicated to supporting you, Kaila is the one. I’m so grateful she was a part of my birth journey!

- Kenadee

Kaila was an incredible support not just for my wife but for me as well. Her calming presence made all the difference during my wife’s long labor, especially with the curveballs. She stepped in anytime she knew I needed a break, helped remind me to stay hydrated, and was there to help me physically support my wife when needed. I never had to ask for anything, she anticipated our needs perfectly. Having Kaila there allowed me to focus solely on my wife without feeling stretched too thin and her calm, steady presence was a huge comfort. When our baby had to be examined by NICU staff away from my wife, I stayed with the baby like we planned (in case of a situation like this). I was so grateful that Kaila stayed with my wife during that stressful moment because I knew my wife was in good hands. I wasn’t sure we needed a doula since this was our second baby, but I’m so glad we had her support—it really made a tough experience much smoother for both of us.

- Kevin Hutson

Hiring Kaila was one of the best decisions I made. From the very first meeting she was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me have a positive and empowering birth. This was my second birth so I knew what to expect going in, but my first birth taught me that curveballs are almost always a guarantee so I wanted a doula this time around to help me feel empowered and safe when those curveballs happened. My labor was pretty normal in the beginning and I was admitted to the hospital with the expectation of a fast delivery. After hours of contractions (and my water even broke), my progress stalled. I was given the choice to wait there, go home, or be induced. Kaila was so helpful during this decision making process and helped us not feel rushed to decide yet. What should have been textbook labor ended up turning into a very long, physically and emotionally draining process. But through it all Kaila was a calm, steady presence. She supported me through my contractions, guided me and my husband through helpful positions and counter pressure, reminded me of my rights when needed, and stayed by our side for the entire labor—even though it was much longer than anyone anticipated. Her expertise in body positioning and relaxation techniques was invaluable, and her kind words gave me the strength to keep going when I felt overwhelmed. When I ultimately chose to get an epidural, Kaila reassured me that every decision I made was valid and reminded me that this was my birth experience. Thanks to her encouragement and the incredible hospital team, I was able to rest, regain my strength, and move into the pushing stage feeling confident and ready. Even during a brief scare when my baby was born and had to be taken from me for five or so minutes, Kaila’s calm and reassuring presence helped me stay grounded and she held my hand tightly. And when they cleared my daughter from anything serious, Kaila asked “So can she hold her baby then?” When I didn’t have the words yet. Her care extended far beyond the delivery room too. In the months leading up to labor she helped us plan and prepare, as well as get to know us personally. She also came for a postpartum visit and even brought a thoughtful gift that made me feel so cared for. I couldn’t imagine going through that journey without Kaila. She is kind, compassionate, and truly gifted at what she does. If you’re looking for a doula who will go above and beyond to support you and your family, I absolutely recommend her!

- Kayla Hutson

Kaila was outstanding. My daughter was having her first child. On top of that, she was having an all natural birth. From the moment we met her all the way through the birth, she was by her side. She was actively involved the entire time. Could NOT have done this without her. She was calm, had a wonderful demeanor, so encouraging, and just basically all around the perfect person for this. I would never want to go through that experience again without her. I can’t say enough positive about her and our experience. Highly, highly recommend.

- Amy Davitt

I took a birth lesson from Kaila. She was engaging and patient with the material and I am sure she could tell how nervous I was. I recommend her to anyone I know in need of a Doula!

- Adriana Birchett

Kaila was incredibly helpful with the delivery of our first born! She was so thoughtful, understanding, and did a great job assessing our needs and wants. I was impressed about her knowledge on the subject matter and definitely helped me to know what to expect. She over delivered on what she talked about with us and will bring tons of value to anyone she works with!

- Dallin Hernandez

As the husband in the room, I VERY much appreciated Kaila. She was great at knowing what to do when to best help my wife and keep me involved. As a husband, I wanted to help during our first baby's birth but felt like I never knew quite what to do to be the most helpful. Having Kaila there the 2nd time was great. Loved every bit of the process and felt like her services were money well spent!

- Masyn Barney

Kaila was my doula for my second baby. In comparison to my first my labor was much easier and much shorter, I felt much happier and confident, and my recovery was much easier. I largely attribute that to Kaila. She was very attentive, she knew exactly was to do even when I didn’t know what I wanted, and she helped my husband be much more involved and confident. I would absolutely recommend working with her!

- Grace Bithell

I got to work with Kaila for some birth classes before my second child. I didn't do anything with my first and he ended up being a C-section. I've been a lot more nervous with this pregnancy but I feel so much better after Kaila worked with me. Shes super responsive and understanding of any of my desires for birth, I never felt like she was pushing her own ideas on me. She was fun to work with and did a great job explaining things. Overall, I just feel so much calmer about everything. I don't really want anyone else at delivery except my husband but if I were to have a doula present it would be her. She's just so calming and steady. You can tell she is super passionate about what she is teaching and very knowledgeable!

- Lolita Chamberlain

Kaila was my doula for my second baby. I had a traumatic experience with my first baby, so I really wanted someone to help me cope with my second. Kaila was exactly what I needed! She is knowledgeable, personable, and really listened to my needs. She respected all of my decisions and did everything she could to help me have the birth that I always desired. I would highly recommend Kaila to any woman looking for an incredible doula!

- Cathryn B.

Kaila is an incredible doula! She has helped me with my second baby and just having her there for support and empowerment has made such a difference! She’s knowledgeable, understanding, and a great listener. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing any doula services.

- Cathryn Bailey

Kaila is kind, funny and helpful. She is also extremely supportive. She’s a great listener and she advocates for people. She is very knowledgeable about birth and coping techniques. I have learned so much from her. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
