Hi, I'm Bayla
Someone in your corner, start to finish
I'm a certified doula, and my job is simple: to make sure you feel supported, informed and never alone. I trained through the Guiding Hands Doula Fellowship and in Spinning Babies techniques.
I get to know you before the birth, stay with you through labor, and check in once your baby is home.
What I offer
During birth
By your side
I'm with you through active labor: comfort, positions, and a calm voice in the room. I help you understand what's happening so nothing feels confusing.
After birth
The first days
A visit once you're home to help with feeding, rest and the small questions nobody warns you about.
Techniques I use
Spinning Babies
Gentle positions and movements that help your baby find a good path for birth. I'm trained in Spinning Babies techniques.
Balancing techniques
Simple daily practices to keep your body balanced and comfortable as your baby grows.
Comfort in labor
Breathing, touch, counter-pressure and positions that make contractions easier to work with.

Questions families ask
What does a doula do?
A doula gives continuous emotional and physical support before, during and after birth. I help you prepare, stay with you through labor with comfort measures and positions, and check in once you're home. A doula doesn't give medical care; your midwife and doctors do that, and I work alongside them.
Does Kupah reimburse doula support?
Many Kupot (Kupat Holim, the Israeli health funds) reimburse part of a doula's fee, depending on your Kupah and your plan. I'll walk you through how to claim on our first call.
Which hospitals do you go to?
I support births at Hadassah Ein Kerem, Hadassah Mount Scopus (Har HaTzofim), Shaare Zedek (Shaarei Tzedek) and Shamir Medical Center (Assaf Harofeh). If you're planning to give birth somewhere else, ask me and we'll see what works.
Which areas do you cover?
I work with families in Jerusalem, Modiin, Beit Shemesh and Tel Aviv and the surrounding areas.
When should I book?
As early as you like; many families reach out in the second trimester. I take a small number of births each month. Right now: December: 1 spot left · Now booking January onward.
How much does a doula cost?
It depends on the support you'd like, from preparation meetings to the birth itself and the visit after. Reach out and I'll explain the options and pricing on a free call. Part of the fee may be covered by Kupah reimbursement.
What are Spinning Babies techniques?
Spinning Babies® is an approach to pregnancy and birth created by midwife Gail Tully. It uses balance, gravity and movement, through gentle positions and stretches, to give your baby room to settle into a good position for birth. I'm trained in Spinning Babies techniques.
