Hi, I’m Kayla – a Canadian Certified Counsellor, Mama of two, and birth trauma survivor in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
In 2021, I experienced a traumatic miscarriage, and in 2022, I narrowly escaped a stillbirth due to a fetal-maternal hemorrhage. These experiences, both deeply personal and transformative, have shaped my passion for supporting others through their own perinatal journeys.
As a therapist and a Mama, I combine my professional training with lived experience to offer compassionate, personalized support for those navigating infertility, loss, pregnancy, early parenthood, and more.
I use a variety of approaches, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and attachment-based therapy, to help you process trauma, manage stress, and build resilience. Together, we’ll create a safe space to explore your feelings, heal, and move forward with self-compassion and confidence.
Motherhood is a beautiful, complex mix of joy, exhaustion, love, and frustration. It’s deeply rewarding, but also incredibly challenging. I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help while juggling it all. But you don’t have to face this alone.
