Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Athens, GA

Hi, I’m Jill! I’m a Certified Professional Midwife and the owner of Charis Birth & Wellness. I really love getting to know the families I work with. I don’t want you to ever feel like you’re just another appointment on my calendar or that things are being done simply because “that’s what we always do.” I want you to understand what’s happening, know what your options are, ask all the questions you need to ask, and feel confident making decisions about your care. I believe birth is a normal, physiologic process and that women are incredibly capable. I also believe good midwifery means knowing when everything is beautifully normal and when something needs a little more attention, support, or intervention. I’m very much about trusting birth without ignoring safety. Charis is a Christian practice, and my faith is a big part of why I do this work. I truly believe God called me into midwifery, and I don’t take lightly the privilege of being invited into such an important season in a family’s life. More than anything, I want the families I serve to feel known, respected, educated, and cared for. If that sounds like the kind of relationship you’re looking for with your midwife, I’d love to sit down and get to know you.

Hi, I’m Payton! I’m a mother of five and a traditional midwife with a deep appreciation for physiological birth. My own experiences with motherhood have shaped the way I approach birth work and strengthened my belief that women deserve care that honors both their instincts and their individuality. I believe birth is a normal process that deserves patience, trust, and respect. My approach centers on building genuine relationships with the families I serve, providing thoughtful and individualized care, and protecting each woman’s right to make informed decisions about her own experience. I recognize the importance of holding space without taking ownership of someone else’s birth. I’m based in Inman, South Carolina, serving families throughout the surrounding areas of South Carolina and Western North Carolina.

Katie Mayeux is a skilled midwifery apprentice, birth and postpartum doula, folk herbalist, and internationally recognized yoga teacher with nearly two decades of experience in women’s wellness work. She began her midwifery studies in a small village in Guatemala, apprenticing with a traditional midwife and Mayan Ajq’ij (spiritual elder). It was here that she began to see birth as a rite of passage, a spiritual initiation and a healing pathway for a lineage to purify and rewrite the script. She subsequently graduated from the School of the Sacred Wild’s yearlong herbalism apprenticeship and has more recently gained clinical midwifery experience as an advanced student through the Maternidad La Luz Midwifery Immersion Program, during which she worked at a high-volume birth center on the US/Mexico border. Katie spent fifteen years as a yoga teacher, which gave her deep insight into the body, breath, and the power of movement. She now uses that training to support pregnant families, helping them find comfort, strength, and alignment throughout the childbearing year. She teaches a prenatal yoga class in El Paso and is currently completing her certification as a Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner. She has attended over 100 births and currently resides in WNC.

Hi! I'm Bethany. I'm a wife, a mama to three little ones, and a passionate advocate for families in the beautiful and transformative journey of birth and postpartum. I am a DONA International–trained and Global Birth Community–trained Certified Birth Doula, a CCBE Certified Childbirth Educator, and Postpartum Doula. Birth is one of my greatest passions. I believe every woman should feel empowered, supported, and confident in how God beautifully designed her body to give birth. My heart is to walk alongside families with both encouragement and practical support—whether that’s during labor, postpartum recovery, or preparing for birth through education. I also guide parents in learning how to confidently communicate with their care team, ask the right questions, and advocate for themselves and their baby with clarity and peace.

I am a postpartum + birth doula and nanny. I am a lifelong learner and have a heart for aiding families. I offer a sliding scale for families that need it so don’t hesitate to contact me.

Hi all mamas, I’m Tara and I’m certain I’m the right doula for you and your growing family. I’m a mother of three beautiful children and I’ve experienced three very different births personally: medicated with epidural, all natural, and an emergency c section. I also breastfed each child for over a year and offer lactation support postpartum. I fully understand the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges of pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood. I believe a new version of the mother is born along with the babies. I’m here to advocate for you, to support you and your personal goals. The fear of the unknown is lesser when we know someone really has our back and I will be that person for you. I’ve been an unofficial doula and breastfeeding guru for friends and family for years. You will not have to do any of this alone. I’ll hold your hand, your legs lol and your baby.

I was born & raised in Georgia. I have a husband and we have 3 kids. After having three different labor, deliver & postpartum experiences, women's health has become my passion, more & more. I love all things from pregnancy, to postpartum and can't wait to help you adjust to life in the 4th trimester. It's not always easy and I am here to help. I want my clients to know that I don't want you to clean before I come, or fix your hair. I expect that you're in cozy clothes and there may be a mess in your home. You're a new parent and it's exhausting! That's what I'm here for. :) I am currently only offering postpartum services, due to not being able to be on-call 24-7, but will be offering more services in the future.
