Kayla Dawn Morin is a woman, mother, space holder, and coach with 10 years of hands-on experience working intimately with women, one-on-one and with their families—through bodywork, birth work, and trauma-healing facilitation. Kayla brings a unique, intuitive approach that blends talking, touch, and an intentional, co-creative container.
Following her Journalism degree in Montreal, and after a wild spiritual awakening in Kingston, Jamaica, Kayla settled in Toronto and began supporting children and new families. Her path led her to become a birth & postpartum doula; for five years she attended all kinds of births—at home, in hospital, at the birth center—with midwives, family doctors, and OBs, working with mothers and their loved ones who were yearning for a more natural and grounded way.
Immersed in the teachings of birth, mentorship, and holding space for women’s liberation, Kayla found out about Freebirth and knew this was how she would birth her own babies. Fortified by a deep dive into the physiology and mysticism of birth with Whapio of The Matrona, Kayla caught her son in the bathtub of her downtown condo with only herself, babe, and his daddy physically present. Her evolution into motherhood- via a very international postpartum, fully harnessing the potency of matrescence as transformation- further deepened her knowing and awareness of what her work is in this lifetime—and here she is, grateful now to be able to share it with you.
Kayla’s company, Women of Earth, is rooted in the truth that we are the earth—we are literally made up of where we live, what we consume, and what we give. It is a call for us to remember the many women who birthed us, that lineage is maternal, and that we all have “traditional” or “land-based” ancestors active within our DNA and in the beyond, guiding us along.
Kayla has been closing women’s bones for over 8 years, after learning from multiple teachers in various mentorship settings, including time apprenticing with kee traaa Quichua /midwives in the Andes mountains of Ecuador and deep study in the bell tent on her mentor Sasha Padron’s land in Northern Ontario. She offers La Cerrada Completa, a full-day Closing of the Bones ceremony adapted from Mexican partera Naoli Vinaver’s recipe, as well as In My Creation, her integrative one-on-one bodywork sessions incorporating Thai Massage, Shiatsu, Reiki, intuitive and embodiment-awareness–focused coaching, as well as Closing of the Bones holds with traditional cloth (rebozo).
Kayla is a prairie girl at heart—though she was born up north—and has often been nicknamed “Sunshine” for her warmth of spirit.
