About Us
Our love story is quite simple. We met playing roller derby and developed our friendship through a random evening of attempting to learn how to crochet. Neither of us learned how. Instead, we spent the night talking about our passion for birth and supporting families and a deep yearning for a more meaningful career path. From there, with immense support from our mentors, we built Transition Birth Collective and have been partners since 2015. Our friendship and business partnership has grown into something special and we absolutely love doing this work together. As a team, we've been privileged to support over 200 transformative births as doulas and taught hundreds of couples through our prenatal education workshops - gaining experience in high risk pregnancy/birth, plus-sized birth, 2SLGBTQIA+ birth, induction, VBAC, cesarean birth, twins, surrogacy, breech, NICU, premature birth, and more.
As they step away from the doula role, they continue to teach monthly birth prep workshops. Erin is a recent graduate with her Bachelor of Education and Kayla is finishing her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.

Our Philosophy
We believe in providing inclusive, compassionate, non-judgmental, and evidence-based support to help you to have the most empowered birthing experience possible. Creating a safe space for our families to build community and connection is integral to thriving as new parents. We know that birth is a mystery and we want to help prepare you to harness that power, rather than fear it. Every parent (regardless of their ethnicity, sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs, or socioeconomic status) deserves to fully understand their options and feel completely supported in whatever they choose. There is no right or wrong way to birth your baby. We support you in whatever path unfolds and help you feel safe, supported, and heard regardless of how or where your baby is born. We know birth is a sacred and transformative journey and that transitional support into parenthood is crucial to thriving. A “healthy baby” is important but is not all that matters. The memory, experience, and feelings surrounding your birth sets the stage for your transition into parenthood.
