LGBTQ+ Affirming Doulas in Asheville, NC

Hi, my name is Annelise Little and I'm a Birth Doula, Maternity, Birth, and Newborn Photographer and Reiki Pricticioner in Pickens, SC. I grew up sitting in on La Leche League meetings and Baby Cafes with my mother, learning about birth, babies, and the strength and wonder of bringing new life into the world. I'm now honored to devote my time and passion to supporting families through the amazing experience of birth. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, music, hiking, my cats, and game nights with my friends and family.

With nearly 20 years of experience supporting new and growing families, I bring to my clients a sense of grounded calm, evidence-based education, and the confidence that together, we can navigate anything that may come up in the unpredictable journey of birth! I have a deep understanding of physiologic birth and ways to support that, as well as a healthy respect for medical interventions when needed. I connect quickly and personally with my clients, support families of all constellations, and am super passionate about providing non-judgemental and trauma-informed support.

Hi, I’m Evan (she/her) ☺️ I’m a full spectrum doula serving Asheville, NC and offering virtual services for both new parents and doulas. I’ve been a certified doula since 2016. I’ve found my calling, my passion, and my purpose! I offer grounded, heart felt, genuine care to families seeking support. I specialize in supporting families in the hospital environment and helping folks navigate their options and be truly empowered and informed along the way.

I’m from Hendersonville, NC, and serve the Henderson County, Greenville (SC) County, and Buncombe County communities. As a Birth Doula, I offer prenatal, birth, and immediate postpartum care and support. I’ve worked with growing families, adolescent parents, and children for over 10 years in various capacities including childcare, social work, parent education, and doula work. I feel passionately that every pregnant/birthing person deserves comprehensive healthcare - encompassing but not limited to birth justice, informed consent, evidence-based research, and education, empowering birthing people and their chosen families, inclusive and trauma-informed birthwork, along with being in tune with our bodies and nervous systems. My goal is to serve and create a safe space for all family structures, including those in LGBTQIA2s+ communities. My work in advocacy, empowerment, and education are based in the belief that the integration of empathy, anti-racism, and harm reduction define the experience of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

 I offer up to my clients the ability to listen, find humor in any circumstance, empathize with grief and pain, create comfort, and bring forth positive light.
