About Asherah Birth

As a mom of 3 girls and in a marriage with the same patterns cycling over and over Kiana was longing for something but didn’t know what it was until 2016 when she was blessed with the knowledge of Liana Shanti, who she has since called her spiritual teacher. Actually more than just a spiritual teacher but a life coach, a way to live. To live in integrity. In truth. Truth to God. Truth to herself. Honouring this Divinely sacred life through the guidance of Jesus.

Kiana was longing for LIFE. Not just existence. She was longing for reverence of this life on earth she was granted. For inner peace from the incessant mental chatter, the low self worth, the confusion of what Kiana truly believed, desired, and wanted to achieve in her life.

In 2017, Kiana left her 13 year marriage (21 years together) and started following her heart, even though it was the most scary, uncomfortable thing she had done.

During this transition in 2018 Kiana received what felt like a random message from God to pursue becoming a birth doula. It was not a career path she had ever considered, even though she loved having a doula at her third natural hospital birth in Canada. The doula’s presence for the 45 minutes she was there was so much more helpful than Kiana ever imagined it would be.

With a 12 year gap from Kiana’s third daughter to her first homebirth, with her son in Jacksonville, Florida in 2025, she was shown again the importance of a doula. This time she had already been a doula for over 3 years and supported over 150 doula clients. She knew what she needed to do but during the intensity of giving birth herself she was asking her husband and midwife to tell her all the cues she reminded her own clients at their birth.

Birth is sacred. Birth is intense. Faith, surrender, and trust are critical. Your body and baby work together in complete harmony. Your body knows exactly what to do. Kiana helps her clients truly believe and embody these beliefs as they are the key to prepare for labor and to not resist and fight the natural process of birth.

Investing in preparation mentally and physically is the golden ticket. Kiana truly believes that preparation should start well before pregnancy if possible. She has a huge passion for helping couples prepare their bodies for conception through ‘The Becoming Mother Method’ 1:1 coaching. The moment that spark happens when the sperm meets the egg is the moment your life changes forever. This is the moment you and your partner’s ancestral and genetic imprint embodies another soul coming to earth. What do you want that imprint to be? Health in all areas… physical, mental, and spiritual? Or even better vitality, joy, and peace. We set our children up for their future based on the state of our bodies at the moment of conception.

Of course health during pregnancy is also extremely important and impactful even if you didn’t take the time to prepare beforehand which is why Kiana uses her knowledge from her nutrition coaching certificate through Health Mastery Institute as well as her Quantum Mind Body Therapist Certification to help guide women throughout pregnancy to prepare for labor and birth physically, mentally and emotionally.

In addition to Kiana achieving a birth doula certification and health coaching certification she felt completing a Prenatal Yoga teacher training in Portland Oregon in 2019 would be a great way to assist pregnant women to go deeper within and learn the power of breath to use during labor, as well as to calm the nervous system, release fears, stored emotions and even trauma to prepare them for motherhood.

Since 2016 Kiana has been doing my own inner healing work; spiritual and neurological healing of trauma, childhood wounding, brain rewiring for optimism, and physical healing which has allowed her to hold space for other people free of judgment. The support and guidance Kiana offers is extremely unique because of her continued investment in her own personal health and the world class certifications she has achieved.

I am Vonda Boyd, CD, HBPD, CPD, HBCE and the founder/owner of Doula Vonda Birth Services, LLC.

My Doula journey began 41 years ago as an assistant to Certified Nurse Midwives. The midwife and doctor would ask me to go support and attend the laboring momma at home. Thus began my Doula passion. I am an international certified Birth Doula HBPD, Postpartum Doula and HBCE Hypnobirthing® childbirth educator.

My goal, purpose, and passion are to support your birth preferences/wishes. I do not have an agenda. I support ALL births, including (but not limited to) birth centers, hospitals, water, natural, surrogate, (IVF), adoption, caesarian section (C-section), non-medicated, and medicated. I work primarily in Florida, but I also offer traveling Doula services to other states and countries.

I have experience with:

Vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC) x1, 2, 3, etc., high risk, advanced maternal age, teens, single, IVF, Downs syndrome, surrogacy, adoption, premature birth, multiples, C-section, and more.

Birth can be a foreign and sometimes uncertain environment. My forte is bringing calm confidence and assurance to that environment. I am also pet-friendly!

About me:

I love the outdoors!

My life is filled with family, health, fitness, travel, biking, boating, kayaking and fishing…

My passion is what I do!!

I educate, facilitate, and advocate for birth.

I am very honored to be on this journey with you and your family.

In 2022, Kiana was led by Jesus to Vonda. Kiana had spent a few years educating herself as a birth doula, yoga instructor and holistic health coach. Kiana was looking forward to getting more hands on experience and using all of this education to offer soon to be and expecting moms a wealth of knowledge and high quality service. Getting experience as a doula and creating a solid name for yourself in the birthing world is not necessarily easy.

After lots of internet searching and calling different people involved in birthing communities Kiana stumbled across Vonda’s website. Immediately impressed by her expertise and many years of being in service to expecting mamas, Kiana reached out to try to learn more about the birthing world in Florida and more specifically within Jacksonville. Vonda shared a ton of valuable information and later asked Kiana if she would be interested in purchasing her business with a transition phase to help her get established.

They met in person shortly after to discuss further. Vonda, being established in the Jacksonville community and creating a strong name for Doula Vonda Birth Services wanted to ensure the reputation she created continued on even if she eventually took more time off to fulfill her traveling desires.  Although this was a big move for Kiana and her three daughters, being from Canada, intuitively and realistically this felt like an amazing opportunity. Vonda and Kiana share similar values in operating their business with integrity, authenticity and true value. 

They share the belief that supporting clients in the best possible manner takes a balance of hands on experience, science based research, intuition, and making their own physical, spiritual and mental health a priority. 

After arriving in Jacksonville in April 2022 and shortly after purchasing Doula Vonda Birth Services, Kiana and Vonda stepped into a collaborative partnership, supporting families together as doulas. Kiana is passionate about empowering women through natural home births, while Vonda brings extensive experience in creating a calm, home-like environment within hospital settings, helping mothers achieve the birth experience they desire. Through this partnership, Kiana has continued learning Vonda’s trusted approach to making hospital births as comfortable and smooth as possible.

Vonda and Kiana's partnership has exceeded expectations and continues to evolve with the flow and changes in their personal lives. Vonda has retired from attending births but she is still educating many expecting families through her childbirth education and offers support to Kiana. Kiana is committed to supporting families in whatever setting best suits their needs, recognizing that every birth and every family is unique.

Clients value the reassurance of being fully supported from preconception to postpartum, and every stage in between. Together Kiana and Vonda create a grounded and compassionate support system throughout the journey.
