Birth is not a personality trait. It's practice, clarity, and support. I'm a second-generation birthworker and Full Spectrum Doula with nine years of experience. I walk with families from conception through postpartum, and my practice is rooted in trauma-informed care, Black and Brown resilience, and care for all bodies and identities — including size inclusivity and LGBTQ+ affirming support. I specialize in helping parents navigate unmedicated births, VBACs, cesarean recovery, and parents over 35. As a Childbirth Educator, Community Lactation Educator, and Maternal Health Consultant, I meet you where you are with high-touch, personalized care. As a yogi, I weave mindfulness, breath-work, and movement into care, helping families find balance and resilience in real time. Whether you're preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or a partner trying to make sense of it all, you're welcome here. Let's nurture this journey together.

We are beyond grateful to have had Andrea by our side. She prepared me so well for birth and has continued to support us postpartum with her knowledge, experience, and thoughtful guidance. During labor, she was an incredible source of calm and strength. She empowered us to make our own informed decisions, always making sure we understood our options. She worked seamlessly with the doctors and nurses while also advocating for our wishes. She seemed to know exactly what I needed, even before I did, and communicated with the medical team when I couldn’t. Andrea made us feel safe, supported, and truly cared for throughout our journey. We couldn’t have asked for a better doula, and we will always be grateful for everything she did for our family.

Dale was my instructor through the MaternityWise Doula Program back in 2018. The moment I spoke with her, I knew I’d chosen the right path. She kept in constant contact and made sure I was fully prepared for class. Her teaching went beyond the binder—she shared the real ins and outs of the doula business, the birth experience, and answered every question. She opened up about her own life so we could see how being a doula fits into everyday life. One experience changed my life: Dale walked me through attending my first birth and gave me the confidence to take charge. She was also present for the birth of my last baby in 2019. When she arrived, she immediately made me feel calm and empowered. The doctors and nurses respected her so much—they even waited for her to arrive before breaking my water and asked for her approval. It was such a powerful moment. It was an honor that she cut my baby’s cord. Dale is the best and will always have my family’s love and respect

Greetings, I’m passionate about supporting families as a doula. I’m a proud mom to one lovely little girl who inspires me every day. My journey into birth work began with a deep desire to help others feel seen, heard, and empowered during life’s most intimate moments. I graduated from Virginia State University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, but I found my true calling in the world of birth and postpartum care. Those who know me would describe me as genuine, warm, and incredibly attentive to the needs of others. I believe in holding space with compassion and providing thoughtful, personalized care to each family I serve. Being a doula allows me to combine my nurturing spirit with my commitment to making a positive impact in people’s lives.

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better doula. From the very beginning, she made me feel heard, supported, and respected. She always took the time to answer my questions, reassure me, and help me feel confident in the decisions I made for my birth. During labor and delivery, she was such a calming presence. She advocated for me when needed, encouraged me every step of the way, and helped me stay focused through one of the most important days of my life. I never felt alone because I knew she was there for me. Even after my baby was born, her support didn’t stop. She continued to check in on me and made sure both my baby and I were doing well. Her kindness, knowledge, and genuine care meant more to me than words can express. If you’re looking for someone who will truly support you, empower you, and make you feel cared for throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She helped make my birth experience so much more positive, and I’ll always be grateful for everything she did for me. Thank you for being such an incredible part of our journey!

Birth & Postpartum Doula I have been supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum since long before I had the language for it formally serving as a doula since 2021, but showing up for birthing people in my community for years before that. Birth work found me through my own pregnancies (c-section) unmedicated V back and unmedicated water birth vbac mama my background in education. As a former preschool and kindergarten teacher, I’ve always been drawn to caring for the whole child and family. Each of my births deepened my commitment to this work, and I’m passionate about supporting women who look like me in spaces where we are often the only ones. I’m a super big supporter of Vbacs They are my favorite. I currently work with Kindred Space LA, Frontline Doulas, and the Irth App, supporting families through birth, postpartum, belly binding, and babywearing. An avid breastfeeder myself nursing each of my children for 3 years I bring lived experience and practical support to feeding journeys. My practice centers education, cultural affirmation, and hands on care.

Aysha SHOWED UP for me! I’m honestly not sure how my birth would have gone without her support! We laughed. We walked. We squatted. We twerked. I cried. She held me. Reminded me that i was capable. Postpartum was rough this go round and she was there, prepping meals, cleaning, teaching my toddler essential life skills, making sure she saw me drinking my water and taking my vitamins. She feels like a best friend I’ve known for many years. I’m so grateful and i can’t say it enough💗

I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough! She was an absolute rock star during the birth of my baby, who arrived 6 weeks early. Through all the uncertainty and stress, Michelle was there every step of the way to keep the calm and peace, offering unwavering support and reassurance. She was a true rock for my family, ensuring I was taken care of and advocating for me throughout the process—especially during the scarier moments when doctors weren’t explaining things clearly. Michelle stepped in to make sure we understood everything. Her compassionate presence made a world of difference. On top of that, she captured beautiful, meaningful pictures when we first brought our baby home from the NICU. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for anyone looking for a dedicated, kind, and supportive doula.

Why I became a doula? In July 2008 I gave birth via unplanned c-section to my first daughter. I was very young and uneducated. My doctor literally told me that I wasn’t progressing, I could either have a c-section or wait but she was leaving to go on vacation so someone else would have to deliver my baby if I waited. I know crazy right!!! In 2016 with my second pregnancy I planned to have a VBAC but at 37 weeks I was over being pregnant. I asked my doctor if could schedule a c-section at 39 weeks. With zero hesitation, no encouragement to wait my doctors scheduled the surgery and my daughter was born via c-section, Nov 2016. Third and final pregnancy in 2022. This time I am well educated and do all the things to ensure a successful VBA2C. I thought ok I read all the books, watched all the videos, and listened to all the experts. This is when I discovered, doulas. At first I thought I’m not paying someone to do what my mom can do. Boy was I WRONG! As much as our loved ones want to be there for us truth is it’s hard for them to watch someone they love go through the struggles of child birth. I can without a doubt say that if it wasn’t for my doula I would have not been to able to stick to birth plan in having an unmedicated vaginal birth. I want to give the amazing gift of doula birth support to as many mommies as I can. I truly believe that childbirth is an underrated experience that is often times rushed. Some women only get one chance to do it, whether you are a first time mom or a mom of many each childbirth is unique and I am excited to be on this journey with you.

Hello! My name is Haley and I am a birth and postpartum doula as well as a raw birth photographer located in St. Augustine, FL and serving areas around me, Jacksonville, Orlando, palm coast and come central Florida cities. Prior to becoming a Doula I was a Nurse of seven years and have a wide background in photography. I enjoy all things family, babies and birth! I cannot wait to meet you!

Recent review

Haley has been such an incredible part of both of my birth experiences, and I truly cannot imagine going through pregnancy and childbirth without her. She was my doula for my daughter two years ago and did such an amazing job that there was never a question that I wanted her by my side again for my most recent pregnancy and birth. Throughout my pregnancy, Haley was always available to answer my questions and ease my worries whenever anxiety set in. She showed up for what felt like a million false alarms and patiently supported me through two weeks of prodromal labor. She was there through every uncertain moment without ever making me feel like a burden or inconvenience. She even managed to capture my maternity photos right before a thunderstorm! When the time finally came to have our baby, things became very intense very quickly. I experienced a tough and incredibly fast labor and delivery, with both babies’ heart rates dropping and complications occurring during the birth. Haley was an amazing source of support throughout everything. After I experienced a postpartum hemorrhage, Haley and her backup doula, Savannah, continued caring not only for me but also for my husband and son while everything was happening. Her care didn’t stop after delivery. Haley captured beautiful Fresh 48 and hospital sibling photos, provided care for my daughter while I recovered before being discharged, and later took newborn and sibling photos that we will cherish forever. She also recently updated our family photos, with a special focus on capturing how much our family has grown and giving us the opportunity to look back and remember the journey that brought us here. Haley is so much more than a doula and photographer, she has become such a meaningful part of our family’s story. From supporting me through two pregnancies and births to capturing some of the most important and emotional moments of our lives, she has been there through it all. I will forever be grateful for her compassion, patience, support, and the beautiful memories she has given our family. I truly cannot recommend Haley enough. 💕

Hi, I’m Bonnie, a THW Doula serving families throughout the Willamette Valley. I’m passionate about breastfeeding support, informed decision making, and evidence based care. My husband and I are enjoying the adventure of raising our four kiddos. Having experienced both hospital and home births I truly appreciate the beauty, strength and individuality of every birth journey. Currently serving Salem to Eugene, Corvallis and surrounding areas.

Recent review

Bonnie-you’re what I picture as a TRUE midwife. Not lingering and bothering and following. Don’t get me wrong though every person’s presence disrupts the birth in some way- and I was caught off guard had I not met you. But you making my kids waffles and just occupying my kids at times is what I picture as being a true midwife and the help up to go to the bathroom. Even though I had never met you I felt safer with you than the medwives who I’ve met many times and attended my birth. Although my birth was not an actual physiological home birth, and my needs were disrespected by everyone else and was completely ruined by the medwives and the worst experience of my life, You’re exactly what I’d want in an actual midwife for a home birth and what I wanted my experience to be and I think if you ever started offering non medicalized attendance some women would appreciate that. I won’t be having any type of birth attendants next time or ever again since it’d be way to triggering for me but I did appreciate you and my daughter still talks about that nice DR lady with the axolotl 😌(I know it’s hard to find traditional midwives and birth keepers in this area. Unfortunately mine had moved to far away and all the other ones I found were in the occult but now I’m thinking that’s common for licensed ones as well) and I’d totally recommend you for those who want non medical support if you switch from ‘doula’ to wanting to be traditional and just a true ‘with woman’ presence near by.
