Where Gentle Waves Birth Services works
What this center offers
“The Birth Doula Every Mama Deserves – My Experience with Kiera I interviewed quite a few doulas before I found Kiera, and from the moment we connected, I knew she was the one.”
“We had an extremely redemptive VBAC with Kiera’s support.”
“I was absolutely petrified, but the moment Kiera walked into the room, her calming spirit and presence absolutely filled the room and allowed me to still have an unmedicated birth.”
“I had the honor of Kiera joining me for all three of my births — one hospital induction, one home birth, and a spontaneous labor, low intervention hospital birth.”
“She was a listening ear during moments of uncertainty, offered thoughtful breastfeeding guidance, and made herself available by phone whenever questions came up.”

What parents say
I could write an entire essay on why Kiera is the best doula you could possibly work with but I’ll try to keep this brief! When I met Kiera I was pregnant with my first child and I can absolutely attribute my success birthing an 11lb baby naturally to her incredible support!
Kiera was an incredible and integral part of our positive birth experience. My husband and I are first time parents, and knew we wanted to work with a doula to support with the birth of our baby.
Kiera is such a light and an incredible human being. She was my doula for both of the births of my two boys. While both births couldn’t be more different, her support was unwavering. My first son came 5 weeks early and we unexpectedly had to pivot from a birthing center to a hospital induction.
Kiera was my doula for my first birth in 2018 (hospital), for my second and third in 2020 and 2024 (homebirths). She filled me with knowledge that helped me through my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Being a repeat client was so special.
