Hey! I'm Nandi, and supporting families during their birthing journeys is not just my profession, it’s my calling. My passion for birth work stems from witnessing the strength and resilience of birthing people and my desire to create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered. I’ve had the honor of working as a doula in various settings, from hospitals like Wellstar to community-based programs like Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies, home-births and birth centers. Each experience has deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, personalized care that honors each family’s unique story. Here’s what you can expect when we work together: - Connection: I take the time to get to know you and your family, so I can support your physical, emotional, and informational needs. - Advocacy: Whether it's navigating hospital policies or exploring comfort techniques, I ensure you feel confident and supported every step of the way. - Holistic Care: As a certified yoga instructor specializing in prenatal yoga, I incorporate movement and mindfulness to help you feel calm and prepared. One of my most meaningful experiences was supporting women in recovery through Motherhood Beyond Bars, where I saw how vital nurturing care and a nonjudgmental presence can be. That philosophy guides me every day. I am trained as a Full Spectrum and Abortion Doula, so I can support you through any reproductive health journey with respect and compassion. Birth is unpredictable, but my goal is always the same: to help you feel empowered, informed, and cared for, no matter what. If you’re looking for a doula who will listen deeply, support you fully, and celebrate your strength, I’d love to connect with you.

Hiring Nandi was one of the best decisions my wife and I made regarding the birth of our daughter. Nandi is professional, knowledgeable, and extremely present with us. Our providers had recommended an induction for medical reasons, which was not our initial birth plan. Nandi was there throughout the induction process at the hospital assisting my wife and I, as well as providing insights into each step of the induction process, which was immensely helpful as we did not prepare for an induction. We cannot recommend Nandi enough! From the pre-birth visits, during the labor, and postpartum visits Nandi was a much needed wealth of knowledge, comfort, and experience that made the birth of our first child smoother despite the days we spent in the hospital for the induction. Would definitely call Nandi if we have another child (and hopefully a natural birth)!

Hello! I’m Alejandra or Alex. I am a compassionate, informed and inclusive Full Spectrum Doula who provides holistic and educational support across the entire spectrum of reproductive experiences. My identity and beliefs system shapes my practice as a gentle and empathetic guide who seeks to support each person in achieving their ideal birth experience, while honoring the sacredness of this profound life transition. I'm grateful for the opportunity to create space that allows my clients to show up vulnerably and authentically as they embark on the transformative journey that is pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenthood. Lavender Beginnings offers specialized care that allows clients to feel safe being vulnerable and fully authentic. We center space for the emotional, physical, and spiritual shifts that accompany pregnancy, birth, and parenthood, welcoming the integration of spiritual and ancestral practices.

Alejandra was very supportive as my doula and I am grateful to have had them as part of my birthing team. We collaborated to create my ideal birth plan and they helped expose me to considerations I had not previously thought of. They gracefully adapted with me as my plans developed in real time. The prenatal appointments helped me feel more empowered and knowledgeable about what to expect throughout the phases of pregnancy, during birth, and postpartum. Alejandra was a grounding and compassionate presence throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I highly recommend working with them! Should I have another child, I definitely want them as part of my team!

As a dedicated newborn care specialist/night nurse/birth doula, pediatric nurse, and early childhood development specialist with over two decades of experience, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of young minds. My journey in childcare began with pediatric care, where I discovered my knack for caring for children and helping them thrive. My formal education includes a graduate degree, and I've complemented my knowledge with coursework in early child development. I take great pride in fostering a safe and nurturing environment for children. My calm and patient demeanor, coupled with my approachable nature, allows me to connect easily with children and families build trusting relationships. My goal Is to comfort you in this time of need, your shoulder to cry on, your hand to hold, your ears to hear and maybe once in awhile crack a few jokes or two, child birth doesn’t have to be stressful, let’s work this out together.

Peaches was an amazing night nurse! She cared so well for our sweet girl while we could get some sleep. As first time parents, we had so many questions and she was always available whether at our home or cell between nights to answer them and keep our mind at ease. She made us feel comfortable to ask anything and we learned a lot from her. The first few weeks with a newborn are tough and we are so grateful to Peaches for helping us. She is very educated and genuinely passionate about her job, she even had our baby sleeping through the night at 3 months. You would be very lucky to have Peaches caring for your baby!
