“If a doula was a drug, it would be unethical not to use it.”

Mikala is the best! She helped me with so much information throughout my pregnancy on VBAC, natural delivery/med free, and all hypnobirthing and other natural methods for pain control. However, my birth didn’t turn out how I wanted it to. Mikala was there every step of the way and supported my decisions no matter the circumstances. I will be using her services again in the future when I decide to have more babies ❤️ She supports my ideas and whatever birth experience I want no matter if it seems “impossible”. She’s even helped me after birth in my postpartum period with breastfeeding, PPD/PPA, and much more! ❤️ I highly recommend her to anyone needing anything—information, support, birth doula, or just a friend! ❤️

My husband and I decided we wanted to have extra support during labor and delivery to ensure we had a beautiful and informed birth. After interviewing several doulas in my area, I felt Mikala was the best option for us! I felt so comfortable with her after our first video call and that was huge for me! She was fabulous! Mikala was such an asset to us during my pregnancy and birth. She helped me navigate making decisions about my birth by providing me with evidence-based research. When it came time to deliver, my birth did not go according to how I had wanted but it was just as beautiful. She was so supportive of my decisions and encouraged me all throughout my very long early labor period especially when I was ready to give up. I ended up getting an epidural and Mikala was still able to provide support to me to ensure my birth went smoothly. And it did. It was beautiful and calm and everything I could have dreamed of. She helped me remember what was important to me and helped ensure my wishes were respected during birth. She also was a huge asset to my husband during early labor in aiding him in supporting me at home. During the postpartum period, she helped me find resources for breastfeeding due to complications we were having. She also answered questions I had to help ease my anxiety with my newborn. She is an invaluable resource. I highly highly recommend Mikala to anyone wanting extra support during pregnancy, labor/delivery, and postpartum. My sweet baby girl wouldn’t be here without her! ❤️

For my first birth, I was scared. I was scared of the pain that I had heard about during childbirth. I knew I had low pain tolerance and was so fearful I didn’t want to learn about birth. This was a huge mistake. Although I went into labor on my own, I was so unknowledgeable that my birth did not go as I had hoped. I had a very very long and painful recovery period.
When we got pregnant with our second child, I knew I needed to do things differently to protect my body. I knew I needed to be more educated and I needed to understand what my body was doing and how I could manage the pain and birthing environment. I started looking into doulas and found Mikala! I am so thankful I did!
Mikala did a fantastic job of educating me, supporting me and answering my questions throughout my whole pregnancy. When it came to the actual day of birth, I couldn’t have asked for better support. She helped make the birth atmosphere one where I could focus of what I needed to do to get my baby here safely. She comforted me and encouraged me!
Because of the information Mikala shared with me throughout my pregnancy I felt prepared and not scared! I knew what to do to help manage the pain! I had an epidural-free birth to a beautiful baby boy with absolutely zero complications! I could not have done it without her, my husband, and a great doctor!
Mikala stayed after the birth and helped educate me about the things the doctors were asking me!
Birth doesn’t have to be scary! You do have to have a long recovery time. Learn about it! It’s truly a beautiful blessing that we get to be a part of as women. This birth made me feel so accomplished and like I got to experience birth the way God intended it. It was beautiful and such a precious memory to me.
Thank you Mikala!💙

As a friend of Mikala via the Internet, we connected during our recent pregnancies & she proved to be an invaluable resource to me as I navigated my own pregnancy & beautiful birth! Just wish we were closer in proximity because if I wind up having another, I’d hire Mikala in a heartbeat!
