I am a dedicated doula with a passion for providing gentle and holistic care to expectant families. My journey into the world of birth support began with a deep belief in the power of natural and holistic approaches to childbirth. Within the last year, I have become a trusted companion for families seeking a nurturing and empowering birthing experience. Specializing in natural and holistic care, i understand the importance of creating a supportive environment that aligns with the unique needs and desires of each client. My commitment to gentle care is evident in my approach, which emphasizes emotional support, mindfulness, and personalized attention throughout the entire birthing process. I have a particular expertise in water births and home births, recognizing the benefits these options can bring to a more relaxed and intimate birthing setting. I believe in the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit during childbirth and strive to create an atmosphere that fosters a sense of tranquility and empowerment. One of my greatest strengths lies in my dedication to helping clients make informed choices about their care. I provide comprehensive information, ensuring that expectant parents have the knowledge and confidence to make decisions aligned with their values and preferences. I understand that each birthing journey is unique, and I tailor my support to honor the individual choices and beliefs of the families she serves. My commitment to gentle and holistic care extends beyond the birthing room, as I continue to offer postpartum support to new parents.

Quazy was absolutely incredible! My husband and I were first time parents, and she was so warm and inviting. The morning my water broke, I called her at 3AM and she zoomed over within the hour. We were having a home birth, and she got there and immediately set up pur birth room, all the while, gently talking to my husband and I. She was so sweet, especially to him, as he looked like a deer in headlights and froze up when he realized it was really happening, and our daughter would be here soon. By the time my midwife arrived, I was already having some pretty intense contractions. While our midwife wanted us to head to a hospital for the pain, Quazy was able to center me and remind me that I wanted to do a natural birth, and we only needed to leave if something was "wrong." We waited another hour after this, and I was able to deliver my beautiful girl all on my own. I loved that Quazy was there for me to lean on when I was scared, and I am eternally grateful for how strongly she believed in me

I am passionate about empowering birthing families to actively prepare for childbirth. Through my own experiences, I felt that there was a gap in labor support between healthcare professionals and labor partners. Many birthing people I have interacted with describe fear and apprehension as they approached their labor. Even more tragically, many birthing families have expressed disappointment or even trauma from a birth experience that felt poorly communicated, emergent, and out of their control. Part of my mandate is to know the limitations of the healthcare system and to educate families to advocate for their own birth using current and evidence-based information. Not knowing what you do not know can lead to overwhelming decisions and out-of-control situations. I also provide experienced, trained hands-on support during the labor to create a consistent, personalized, and safe environment which can decrease the need for medical interventions and increase overall birth satisfaction.

Hi! I am a wife and mom to three boys . Many parents desire to give their children a better childhood than they experienced. I make that desire a reality by guiding parents to raise spiritually and emotionally intelligent (SEI) children from conception. Through SEI parent coaching, you will disrupt negative generational patterns, retrain your subconscious mind, and enhance your capacity to raise children who can thrive in any environment.

I worked with Dr. Temi throughout my pregnancy and then after pregnancy with my husband for parenting classes. She is such an amazing counselor and woman of God. She truly improved the anxiety I felt throughout my first pregnancy and brought me so much closer to God in the process. She is punctual, filled with the spirit, and very encouraging. I highly recommend her program to other pregnant mothers and parents.

I am a professional labor doula and childbirth educator. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Georgia. I am a dedicated and compassionate labor doula, committed to empowering women and families throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum journey. With a background in mental health and a passion for supporting expectant mothers, I bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and empathy to my role as a doula. My calming demeanor and reassuring presence help to alleviate anxiety and promote a sense of calm during what can be an intense and transformative experience. I have called North Georgia home for the last 18 years. I’ve been married to my husband Adam for 5 years. We have two boys under the age of four. In my spare time I enjoy volunteering on my church’s hospitality team, gardening, and spending time outside with my family. I became interested in becoming a doula after experiencing the benefits of hiring a doula for my second birth. I find great joy in walking with women in their motherhood journey.

I genuinely cannot begin to say how thankful I am for Alexis and how she walked with us through our journey to parenthood. We had two prenatal meetings where she met with my husband and I to talk through our birth wishes and just get to know us as people. She focused on getting to know the "why" behind our birth wishes and not just the "what." Her background in counseling was such a perfect fit with her doula services as she helped us walk through the crazy emotions that surround birth and becoming a parent. We talked through how I would feel emotionally if my birth didn't go "according to plan;" we talked about how our marriage was doing in the midst of the pregnancy. Her birth class was super helpful in it made us informed and prepared about what would and could happen during birth. She did check ins after every OB appointment to see how things were going and see how I was feeling every step of the way. When my water broke, she checked in every few hours to keep up with my early labor and give us tips for the early contractions and then met us at the hospital when I was in active labor. I had all back labor, and she and my husband took turns giving me counter pressure on my back for hours. She helped guide me on when to switch positions and try new tactics. She was even there to help with little things like moving our car because it was still parked out front. After our son was born, Alexis stayed with us a few more hours until we were fully settled in our recovery room. She did a follow up meeting with us about a week after delivery and just sat with us and helped me process my birth experience which thankfully was everything that I wanted, but it's still a lot to process. Alexis set up a meal train for us and even brought a meal herself. She texted and checked in with how I was healing, how I was doing emotionally, and just how I was adjusting to motherhood every few days after birth and then weekly for the first two months postpartum. My husband and I genuinely felt like we weren't in this alone, that we had a guide walking through it with us. It was so nice that my husband could support me emotionally and didn't have to worry about having all of the knowledge to specifically support me during labor - he could focus on being my husband and not my coach. We just felt so supported and encouraged the entire journey. She constantly went above and beyond what a typical doula would do. I cannot rave about Alexis enough, and our plan is to have her present for all future childbirths.

Hello there, I am a mother of 2 and a holistic wellness advocate. I believe that birth is a Rite of Passage and the natural process should be respected. I specialize in natural births, home births and vbacs with a mind, body and spirit approach through the many services I provide. As a Holistic Birth Worker, I take a primal approach to being a wise guide in helping women remember & reclaim their power as they travel into the veil of pregnancy , shifting into the sacredness of birth. Its an honor to support families in such a beautiful moment, and I'm honored in advance if you consider me.

Hi, my name is Na’Sirah, and I’m 21 years old. I’ve always had a passion for working with children, which is why I’ve spent so much of my time caring for kids both inside and outside of work. I currently work at an elementary school during the week, and on evenings or weekends I enjoy babysitting for friends, family, and local families who need extra support. I started gaining experience early on by helping in daycare centers and church nurseries, and over the years I’ve developed patience, creativity, and the ability to keep children safe while also making sure they have fun. Through my job, I am First Aid, CPR, and AED certified. I have also taken courses in Early Childhood Development and other classes focused on caring for babies and young children, and I plan to continue furthering my education with more courses. I don’t have children of my own yet, but I treat every child I care for as if they were family. My goal as a babysitter is to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where kids can thrive, and to give parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are well cared for.

I understand what it feels like to have doubts and not have the right tools to face the unknown. This is why I started Finding Your Village and began interviewing experts in my podcast, whose service and advice can be great additions to a parent's village. Inspired by my own two birth experiences, one with pain medication and one without, I trained to become a Birthing From Within Mentor to guide parents to prepare for the challenges and victories they will encounter with their birth experience. I am committed to helping you become a birth warrior and be equipped for your birth and postpartum journey, so you can stop feeling stuck in the fear of the unknown and avoid suffering during birth and postpartum.

On my third pregnancy, I finally knew enough about pregnancy and labor to know I didn't really know much at all! I finally decided it was time to actually prepare for labor this time around and along came Amanda. Amanda guided my husband and I through our most recent pregnancy & taught us so much. I knew I wanted a natural delivery and she supported that desire and gave me tips and tricks to accomplish it (also gave my husband helpful tips that was such a game changer in the delivery room). Well, 8 weeks ago we had our 3rd child and I was able to deliver him natually and have the birth I was hoping for. I wish I would have realized how invaluable it is to prepare for such a momentous moment sooner. Thank you, Amanda! You were the missing piece I did not know I needed for a confident and empowered birth.
