Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Alexandria, LA

I'm Saleemah and I am a mother of 2, a boy and girl. Working under my mother who was a midwife, and having my own children influenced me to take the journey into becoming a Birth Doula and Lactation consultant. Helping mothers through their pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding journey is my passion.

As a doula and lactation support provider, I've been deeply immersed in the world of childbirth and breastfeeding since 2019. My journey began unexpectedly at 18 when I welcomed my first child into the world. Faced with fear and a lack of education about childbirth, I found myself navigating a scary experience only with support of my husband and Dr.Google The medical system treated me more like a patient than a person, leaving me feeling unseen and unheard. It wasn't until the birth of my second child that I discovered the transformative role of a doula. With newfound knowledge and research, I embarked on a journey to empower myself and others through childbirth. Through my own experiences with postpartum and breastfeeding, I discovered my passion for birth work Now, as a mother of three and a dedicated wife, I am committed to ensuring that every mother feels safe, seen, and heard during their childbirth experience, regardless of the path they choose. My mission is to provide compassionate support, education, and advocacy to guide women through the beautiful journey of motherhood.

I love sharing my knowledge and being able to support people during this journey. As the oldest daughter in a large family, taking care of others comes naturally to me, as well as advocating for others. I keep my business judgment free and supportive to everyone.

When i first learned how complex a woman’s body is and the incredible things it could do at a young age i was so intrigued. i knew i wanted to deal with birth/ small children as i loved them so much. becoming a doula has been inspiring and magical for me. i love helping women become mothers and being able to be apart of the big transition whether your a first time parent or a sixth time parent, each person and each birth/child is different and that’s what makes being a doula so amazing. you get to experience something different everytime.

Throughout my experience as a doula, I’ve come to deeply understand that a woman’s birth story becomes a powerful and lasting part of who she is. My goal is to help each woman and her partner create a birth plan that makes them feel confident and supported as they prepare for labor and birth. When the big day arrives, I provide continuous support—not just for the birthing person, but for their partner too—so that both walk away feeling proud of their story, no matter how it unfolds. Birth doesn’t always go exactly as planned, but with the right team and compassionate support, it can still be a story you’ll want to tell again and again—with strength, joy, and confidence. I'm honored to have supported so many incredible families and grateful to be recognized for that work. I’ve been named Baton Rouge Parents Magazine Family Favorite Doula, runner-up for Prenatal and Postpartum Classes, and nominated for Best of 225.

Hey y’all, I am Tabitha your Louisiana doula. I am a mom of 4 wild, wacky and wonderful kids. I am a certified birth and postpartum doula and training to become a placenta encapsulation specialist. Growing up I wanted to be a labor and delivery nurse. When I became an adult I realized the medical field was not for me. I worked at a daycare in the infant room for 2 years. After that I worked as a chiropractic assistant for 2 years. My favorite part of the job was working with pregnant women and infants. It wasn’t until after I was done having babies that I discovered just what a doula does. I was immediately convinced that I found my calling. I have always loved all things birth and motherhood. I knew this was the journey I was finally meant to be on. “What is done in love is well done.” -Vincent Van Gogh

Hi, I’m Nicole! I was born in Houston but raised in Chireno, a small East Texas town just outside of Nacogdoches, and this area has always been home to me. For the past eight years, I’ve owned and managed a cosmetic store in downtown Nacogdoches, and before that, I worked as a CNA for three years. As well as a substitute teacher at a preschool for a year. Looking back, caring for and connecting with people has always been at the heart of what I do. My love for birth work really began after supporting my best friend during her birth in 2024, but watching my sister give birth alongside her doula in March 2026 truly confirmed that this was where my heart belonged. That experience inspired me to start The Nurtured Nest, where I provide birth and postpartum doula support to families in East Texas. My goal is simply to help families feel calm, informed, heard, and genuinely cared for during such an important season of their lives. I’m so excited to continue growing in birth work, serving families in my community, and seeing where this journey takes me!
