Service introduction

At My Love Grows, I offer a range of services designed to support families throughout the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. As a certified birth doula, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and educational support during labor and delivery, helping parents feel empowered and confident in their birthing experience. My childbirth education services prepare families with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions, covering everything from pregnancy changes to labor techniques, birth plans, and postpartum care. Additionally, I offer personalized postpartum doula support, assisting with newborn care, breastfeeding, emotional adjustment, and household needs in those early weeks of parenthood. To capture these precious moments, I also provide maternity and newborn photography, helping families cherish the milestones of pregnancy and early parenthood for years to come. Each service I offer is rooted in the belief that every family deserves compassionate, knowledgeable, and holistic support during this transformative time.

I wanted to share my experience with my doula, Kayla Hernandez. She was truly exceptional! Kayla provided incredible support and guidance throughout pregnancy, labor and postpartum, making the experience so much easier and more manageable. Her calming presence and genuine care made us feel valued and informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a doula—she is the best 👌 ❤ 5+*

Kayla was wonderful from the very beginning. She was always available and came over to discuss what I needed, and gave me tips to prepare for labor. The day I went into labor, I actually had to do a C section even though she did not have to be there, she was there from there from beginning to the end! I truly recommend her if you are looking for a supportive doula :)
