Hi, I’m Joy, a birth and postpartum doula and pediatric sleep consultant with advanced lactation training. I support families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond with a calm, practical, judgment-free approach. As a mom of four grown children and a grandmother, I bring both professional training and decades of hands-on experience with babies and families. During pregnancy and birth, I help you feel informed, prepared, and confident in your choices, while providing steady emotional and physical support throughout labor. After baby arrives, I can continue supporting you through postpartum recovery, feeding, newborn care, sleep, and adjusting to life with your new baby. My goal is simple: to help you feel supported and confident as you navigate this huge transition. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me spending time with my own family, traveling in our RV, hiking, biking, or exploring somewhere new.

I'm Victoria — a DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula, Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) Candidate, Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing Instructor, and trained in Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy & Acupressure! My journey into birth work began with my own transformative postpartum experience as a mother, which inspired me to support others through the deeply personal and powerful seasons of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. I take a wholistic approach that centers each family’s unique needs with care and compassion. With a strong focus on maternal mental health and emotional well-being, I’m a dedicated advocate for informed, empowered choices and gentle, supportive care. I believe that when we nurture the mother, we nurture the entire family — and it’s my honor to hold space for both the beauty and the challenges of this life-changing journey.

Bringing a baby into your life can be a beautiful yet, overwhelming experience. I've been a doula for 11 years and counting, so I've been doing this long enough to know that every family is different. Because of that, I like to get to know the families I work with so that I can support them in a way that is specific to their individual needs. I do not make the decisions for parents or tell them what to do, I empower them to have the confidence in their own parental decisions with evidenced based information, care and empathy. On top of being a doula, I'm a Childbirth educator, Certified Lactation Counselor, Nutritionist, Holistic Health Coach, Certified Sports Nutrition Coach, and Personal Trainer with specialties in pelvic floor, core health, prenatal and postpartum fitness. I bring all of my skills to families to support them in the way that is specific to their needs.

Meet Marla, a dedicated birth doula whose practice blends compassionate, hands-on labor support with the power of hypnosis. With years of experience guiding families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, Marla offers more than physical comfort measures—she brings a toolkit of relaxation and hypnosis techniques designed to help you feel calm, capable, and in control throughout your birth experience. Hypnosis for birth works by helping you shift out of fear and tension and into a state of deep relaxation, where your body can labor more naturally and efficiently. The benefits are well documented: Reduced perceived pain — Deep relaxation lowers the body's stress response, which can ease the intensity of contractions. Shorter, smoother labors — When fear and tension decrease, labor often progresses more efficiently because the body isn't working against itself. Less need for medical pain intervention — Many who practice hypnosis techniques report needing fewer interventions like epidurals or pain medication. Greater sense of calm and control — Guided visualization and positive suggestion help you stay present and confident rather than overwhelmed. Faster postpartum recovery — Lower stress hormones during labor are linked to a smoother transition into postpartum healing and bonding. With Marla by your side, you'll learn self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques well before your due date, so that by the time labor begins, your mind and body already know how to work together. Her goal is simple: to help you feel supported, empowered, and deeply at peace as you welcome your baby into the world.

You weren’t meant to do this alone. There comes a moment after the visitors leave, the meals stop coming, and the texts become less frequent. It’s 2:43 a.m. Your baby has been awake for hours. You’re running on almost no sleep. You haven’t eaten a real meal today. You’re wondering if you’re doing any of this right. No one prepares you for that part. I’m Afrika, a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with over 17 years of experience supporting more than 100 families through pregnancy, birth, and the tender weeks that follow. I don’t just care for babies. I care for the people who just became parents. Whether you need overnight newborn care so you can finally sleep, daytime support while you recover, help establishing feeding routines, emotional encouragement, or simply another capable adult in your home, I meet you exactly where you are. When I’m in your home, my goal is simple: I want you to exhale. To eat while your food is still warm. To shower without rushing. To sleep knowing your baby is in experienced hands. To feel cared for while you’re caring for everyone else. Because healing happens best when someone is helping hold the weight. This isn’t luxury. This is how families were always meant to be supported. If you’re preparing for your first baby, or welcoming another, I’d be honored to become part of your village.

Hi families, my name is Lauren and I am the founder and owner of Birthing With LC, where I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based support to growing families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My passion for maternal health began after the birth of my first daughter in 2013, when my own transformative experience as a new mother inspired me to learn more about pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation. After welcoming three beautiful children while navigating the challenges of hyperemesis gravidarum, I developed a deep understanding of how important it is for families to receive unbiased, nurturing care. These experiences shaped my mission to ensure every family feels safe, informed, respected, and fully supported throughout their birthing journey. As a Certified Birth Doula, Certified Lactation Support Counselor, and Certified Body, Ready, Method® Professional, I empower families with the knowledge, confidence, and emotional support they need to approach birth with trust in themselves and their abilities. I believe every woman deserves to feel strong, capable, and heard, and I am committed to helping remove the fear that too often surrounds childbirth. When I’m not supporting families, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three children, training in the gym with my husband, continuing my education, and collaborating with fellow birth professionals to make a positive impact—one birth at a time.
