Welcome to Journey to Joy!
I’m Kiley and I’m your certified birth doula! I am an Idaho girl, born and raised! I am married to my best friend and we have 4 blessings ages 7, 5, 3 & 2! They are our world and being a mama is one of my greatest joys.
I love the outdoors, sports, working out and I am also a musician! I graduated from Boise State University with my degree in elementary education but quickly realized I was called to be at home with my babies & helping mamas! Ever since my first baby was born, I was forever changed by my birthing experience and knew I was meant to serve mamas and families in the birth space.
I became so intrigued by the birthing process...how it shapes women and families... the entire experience is life changing. I couldn't get enough of all things pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum and soaked up all of the knowledge I could! After having 4 of my own babies and being radically changed by my births and the power of what my doulas helped me achieve, I felt in my heart it was time to become fully certified as a birth doula.
On top of the birth education I received, my own 4 pregnancies, labors and birth experiences have shaped me and my philosophy about birth. I have personally experienced walking out many birth paths which I believe gives me valuable personal insight for my clients. I have had an unmedicated hospital birth, a medicated hospital birth, a homebirth, and I've also experienced an emergency homebirth transfer.
My wildly different experiences have shown me that there isn't one way to birth and each birth can be so different. But there is one thing I found to be constant in all 4 of my own experiences...you can have the birth you desire and it can be joyful and peaceful. But that doesn't just happen...Birth is hard work and you need support. My birth doulas were absolutely instrumental in my births helping me navigate my experiences. They never left my side during labor and were absolutely critical in helping my husband and I walk through it. Doulas are priceless. Each of my doulas are still friends that I deeply cherish today.
Journey to Joy was birthed from my own experiences as a mother and traveling the road of pregnancy, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding and beyond.. I believe children are one of the greatest blessings birth is the same. JOY is yours for the taking!

A birth doula is one who serves and supports women during labor/birth and sometimes into postpartum. Doulas are educated and trained to provide physical, emotional, mental and informational support for their clients as they navigate their unique birth!
I take my role as your birth doula very seriously. Being invited into the intimate space of birth is not to be taken lightly and it is something I honor. Over the course of your pregnancy and our time together, I want to get to know you and your partner and build a connection and a lifelong friendship. I want to help you navigate your birth in the most peaceful and joyful manner and help empower you to have the birth you desire, whatever that looks like to you!
I am here to provide knowledge, resources, personal insight, non judgmental care, and to be a source of continuous support for you and your partner during this time. During your birth, I will be by your side and will provide physical, emotional, and even spiritual support to the best of my abilities. We are a team and your birth matters to me. I am so honored you're here and cannot wait to be your birth doula!
