Dez Skalski

I began my doula career in 2021 and have since supported more than 100 families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, newborn care, and the transition into early parenthood. My clients have ranged from young and underserved parents navigating pregnancy with limited support to experienced parents welcoming their third baby. Through my experiences, the work I continually found myself drawn back to is education, especially helping first-time parents make sense of an experience that can feel incredibly overwhelming from the outside. Over the years, that passion has expanded beyond birth support into childbirth education, postpartum care, newborn education, and pediatric sleep.

We worked with Dez as a night nurse when our newborn was just a few weeks old, and we couldn’t have been happier with her care. She was professional, calm, dependable, and incredibly dedicated to helping both our baby and our family. What really made Dez stand out from others we had worked with was her ability to troubleshoot challenges as they came up. She brought a wealth of knowledge and insight, and she was always willing to share practical guidance that helped us better understand our baby’s needs and, ultimately, become a better sleeper. We always felt that our baby was in excellent hands, which gave us the peace of mind we needed during those early weeks/months. We would wholeheartedly recommend Dez to any family looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy member of their childcare team!

Hi, I’m Hannah — a doula with a heart for women and a passion for presence. My journey into birth work began in 2022, rooted in deep research, prayer, and a growing conviction that every woman deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered during birth. With a background in English from the University of Kentucky, I’ve always been drawn to storytelling and the power of listening — both of which now shape how I support families in one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives. I’ve always been empathetic by nature, and stepping into the role of a doula felt like a natural extension of who I am. I believe birth is not only a physical event but an emotional and spiritual one too, and I’m here to walk alongside women and their partners—helping them feel grounded, informed, and confident every step of the way. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I’m honored to support your choices and hold space for your unique experience. I believe “life isn’t meant to be a sprint but a pilgrimage” - being a doula is one of my pilgrimage stops...

Hannah empowered us through education. She was always prepared and handled complex situations and emotions with compassion and strength. She shared in our prenatal excitement, provided an encouraging and empathetic presence during the exhaustion of a long labor, and held my hand gently through processing tough post-partum emotions. She helped me to reframe my experience in ways that reduced self-criticism and increased gratitude. I truly believe that her guidance and support contributed to my daughter's and my good health and positive outcomes in labor and delivery because she provided such well-researched information and the space to make informed decisions. I consider myself to be well-researched and educated about childbirth, and she still offered new and helpful insights to me every time we spoke! As a doula, Hannah is rock-solid in her knowledge, faith, communication skills, and ability to provide emotional support. Her approach is holistic and comprehensive- I believe that if my labor went completely differently, she would have been just as well-equipped and unflappable. I'm so happy that we got to be a part of Hannah's early career as a doula, and I highly recommend her services. Thanks again, Hannah! My husband and I will be forever grateful for your help in bringing our daughter into the world.

Hi there! I’m Chanterious, a Certified Postpartum & Infant Care Doula and the heart behind Chan’s Gentle Touch Postpartum Care💓🌸. Caring for mothers and newborns isn’t just what I do—it’s truly what I love. With several years of experience working on a Mother-Baby unit in the hospital, I’ve had the joy of caring for countless families during one of life’s most beautiful transitions. I believe every mom deserves to feel nurtured, supported, and never alone during the postpartum period. My goal is to create a peaceful, judgment-free space where you can rest, heal, and soak in all the precious moments with your new baby while knowing someone is there to support you every step of the way. Whether I’m caring for your little one overnight so you can catch up on much-needed sleep, offering infant feeding support, helping with your recovery, or simply being a reassuring presence, I’m here to make those early weeks feel a little lighter and a lot more joyful. As both a healthcare professional and a mom myself, I understand how overwhelming—and incredibly special—this season can be. I love building genuine connections with the families I serve and treating each home with the same love, kindness, and respect I would want for my own. It would truly be an honor to walk alongside your family during this exciting new chapter. I can’t wait to meet you and your little 🫶🏼

Chan was our doula the first 2 weeks of June since babygirl decided to come early lol. She was very understanding and flexible. The information she provided was very helpful, and I felt confident with breastfeeding after our time with her ended. We debriefed every morning after her overnight shift and all her updates about baby girl were informative and well detailed. I’m so thankful we came across her profile.

Why I became a doula? In July 2008 I gave birth via unplanned c-section to my first daughter. I was very young and uneducated. My doctor literally told me that I wasn’t progressing, I could either have a c-section or wait but she was leaving to go on vacation so someone else would have to deliver my baby if I waited. I know crazy right!!! In 2016 with my second pregnancy I planned to have a VBAC but at 37 weeks I was over being pregnant. I asked my doctor if could schedule a c-section at 39 weeks. With zero hesitation, no encouragement to wait my doctors scheduled the surgery and my daughter was born via c-section, Nov 2016. Third and final pregnancy in 2022. This time I am well educated and do all the things to ensure a successful VBA2C. I thought ok I read all the books, watched all the videos, and listened to all the experts. This is when I discovered, doulas. At first I thought I’m not paying someone to do what my mom can do. Boy was I WRONG! As much as our loved ones want to be there for us truth is it’s hard for them to watch someone they love go through the struggles of child birth. I can without a doubt say that if it wasn’t for my doula I would have not been to able to stick to birth plan in having an unmedicated vaginal birth. I want to give the amazing gift of doula birth support to as many mommies as I can. I truly believe that childbirth is an underrated experience that is often times rushed. Some women only get one chance to do it, whether you are a first time mom or a mom of many each childbirth is unique and I am excited to be on this journey with you.

I provide expert IBCLC lactation consulting in Birmingham, AL. I offer personalized, concierge style breastfeeding support with in home and virtual consultations. Whether you need help with latch, milk supply, or newborn feeding, I'm happy to guide you through your breastfeeding journey with compassionate care. I love helping moms meet their own breastfeeding goals!

Recent review

I am beyond grateful for the incredible support and guidance I received from Dana in the early days of my breastfeeding journey. Right after birth, we faced several challenges—including low milk production, latch difficulties, my baby’s slow weight gain, and eventually a diagnosis of cow’s milk protein intolerance. Through it all, Dana met us with patience, encouragement, and genuine compassion. She not only offered practical solutions and expert knowledge, but also created a space where I felt heard and supported during a vulnerable and emotional time. Her presence helped me build the confidence I needed to keep going, even when it all felt incredibly overwhelming. Now, nearly 10 months later, I’m so proud to say we are still breastfeeding—and thriving. The benefits to both me and my baby have been remarkable: a deep bond, strong immunity for my little one, and significant cost savings (especially considering how expensive hypoallergenic formulas are!). I truly believe we wouldn’t be where we are today without Dana’s dedication and support.

Madelyn Washburn has been an incredible support throughout my pregnancy. Navigating a high-risk pregnancy can be overwhelming and emotional, but Madelyn has been a constant source of reassurance, calm, and strength during this journey. She truly listens, shows up, and makes you feel seen and supported. Her knowledge, patience, and compassionate approach have helped ease so many of my worries and given me confidence during a time that hasn’t always been easy. Knowing she will be there for our birth on May 24, 2026 as we welcome our baby girl brings me so much peace.

So here we are! I've taken a birth & bereavement doula course, & am DONA and Tricare Certified! I've also documented multiple births & I don't think I've ever been more passionate about something in my life.

I found out I was pregnant in February of 2023, things took a turn for the worse with my child's father within a month following. After leaving him he decided to remove himself entirely from my child's life and I was left feeling I was going to take on this incredibly scary and exciting life event all alone. Little did I know, I was the farthest from! Natasha was my doula. She supported me throughout my pregnancy, through childbirth and during the initial part of my postpartum experience. I have never in my life felt more unconditional love and support. She was knowledgable, calm and created a space that felt safe. If I was given the opportunity to go back in time and choose my child's father or Natasha for support, I'd choose her every time!
