I recently had the privilege of experiencing the exceptional services provided by Blissful Births, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. As an Afro-Indigenous Birth Keeper, Melissa Phillipe brings a unique blend of traditional wisdom and modern expertise to her practice, creating a holistic and supportive environment for mothers and families. Melissa's compassionate and personalised approach was evident in every interaction, from prenatal care to postpartum support. Her extensive knowledge as a maternal educator and breastfeeding consultant was invaluable, providing me with the information and confidence I needed to guide other families. The doula training and mentorship I received were thorough and empowering, equipping me with the skills necessary to support other mothers effectively. One of the standout aspects of Blissful Births is Melissa's dedication to creating a nurturing and spiritual atmosphere. Her holistic methods, including herbal and natural remedies, resonated deeply with my desire for an organic and mindful birthing experience. The emphasis on mental health education also ensured that my emotional well-being was prioritised, contributing to a positive and balanced overall experience. Melissa's passion for her work and genuine care for her clients shine through in every aspect of Blissful Births.

JERNAY WRIGHT

I am JerNay L. Wright, a dedicated doula and maternal wellness advocate based in Albany, GA. As the owner of Blooming Womb Doula Services, I provide compassionate, culturally aware support to women and families throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My journey into this work was deeply personal and purpose-driven—I answered the call to serve women, especially Black and Brown mothers, by ensuring they feel seen, heard, and protected in spaces where they have historically been overlooked. I support families through prenatal education, birth planning, continuous labor support, and postpartum care, helping them feel prepared, confident, and never alone during this life-changing experience. I approach every family with warmth, respect, and a commitment to creating a safe, empowering environment where parents feel informed and supported every step of the way. My philosophy as a doula centers on advocacy, education, and holistic care. I believe birth is not just a physical experience, but an emotional and transformative journey that deserves intentional support. I work alongside clinical providers to help bridge communication, encourage informed decision-making, and ensure the birthing person’s voice is heard and respected. During labor, I provide hands-on comfort measures, emotional reassurance, and guidance for both the mother and her support partner. After birth, I continue to support families with recovery, newborn care guidance, and adjusting to their new roles. I also incorporate elements of wellness—such as movement, mindset, and preparation—to help families feel strong and ready for the transition into parenthood. My goal is to walk beside each client—not in front or behind—ensuring they feel supported, respected, and empowered to create a birth and parenting experience that aligns with their values.

Hi, I’m Sarah, a mom of seven, doula, and birth photographer serving South Georgia and North Florida. My own births taught me that how you’re treated, what you understand, and whether you feel heard can stay with you long after your baby is born. You can be grateful for a healthy baby and still care deeply about your experience. I especially love supporting moms who want a low-intervention hospital birth and need help navigating what that can look like. We’ll talk through your options, prepare your partner, practice comfort measures, and make room for the questions or fears you might hesitate to say out loud. During labor, I bring a calm presence, hands-on support, and help sorting through information when things feel overwhelming. I respect your decisions and support you when plans change. My role is to help you recognize your own strength and feel confident using your voice. You’re the one doing this. You deserve to feel supported while you do.

Sarah was our birth photographer and doula. I cannot say enough how amazing our experience was! She goes above and beyond. We felt so supported- before, during and after birth. The photos are absolutely stunning and something we will cherish forever! Sarah has such a calming presence and I had the most magical birth experience and I know that is in part to all the work she put in with us! She educated us, comforted us, helped us advocate for ourselves and create a birth plan. She never left my side at the hospital- from 9pm to 1:30pm the next day! If you’re pregnant, she’s the doula you need!!

Karoline was my doula for my first baby after a year of trying and a few losses. I was honestly terrified of labor and had a very quick progression from barely cramping to my girl in my arms in about twelve hours. She helped me so much before and during labor, easing all my anxieties and making everything such a calm, positive experience. She provided me with lots of info on how to cope with late stage pregnancy and breastfeeding, and coached me through my labor in exactly the way I needed. After I brought my sweet girl home, she came over and brought food and postpartum supplies, helped us figure out a routine and what we needed for pumping and bottle feeding so my partner could do some nights, and even helped pick up around the house while we got to enjoy a home cooked meal together for the first time in days. My first few weeks postpartum were so much easier with her support. I am so grateful I had her to help me through this experience and would recommend her to any mother looking for a hands-on, attentive, caring doula.

Working with Brittney was one of the best decisions I made during the fourth trimester. She supported me physically and emotionally during a very vulnerable season. From helping with newborn care to allowing me to get much needed rest, her support made a huge difference in my recovery and confidence as a mom. She always checked in on my emotional wellbeing and reassured me through the hard days. Her knowledge and compassion is invaluable. I'm forever grateful for Brittney and wholeheartedly recommend her to any new mother.
