Hello! I’m Selena, a passionate postpartum doula dedicated to helping families navigate the beautiful, chaotic, and transformative days of early parenthood. I approach doula care with a bubbly, bright, and deeply nurturing energy—meaning I am just as ready to lift your spirits with a smile as I am to hold a quiet, supportive space for you when you just need to rest. My goal is to walk into your home and instantly lower the baseline stress. Whether that means preparing a nourishing snack, setting up a seamless pumping station, or simply listening to your birth story with zero judgment, I am there to ensure you feel entirely seen, safe, and cared for. The "Experienced Mom" Advantage Beyond my professional training, my deepest expertise comes from my own lived experience. I am an experienced mother to two wonderful children, aged 2 and 6. I know firsthand exactly what those early weeks feel like. I remember the sleep deprivation, the vulnerability, and the overwhelming love. Because I am currently raising a toddler and a school-aged child, I have fresh, real-world knowledge of: The delicate art of managing sibling transitions (helping older siblings feel loved and included). Practical, modern newborn soothing techniques that actually work. The realities of balancing self-care with the demands of a growing family. I don’t just bring textbook knowledge into your home; I bring real, battle-tested mother's intuition and practical wisdom. My Philosophy & Support Style I believe that the "fourth trimester" is a sacred time that deserves immense tenderness. I tailor my care entirely to your family's unique rhythm, always aiming to leave you feeling more confident than I found you. What I bring to your family: A Nurturing Presence: Calm, gentle care that allows you to let your guard down and recover physically and emotionally. Bubbly Optimism: An encouraging, positive attitude that infuses your home with warmth and reassurance, even after a long night. Practical Magic: From organizing the nursery to organizing your day, I jump in wherever hands are needed most. Services Offered Daytime postpartum adjustment and emotional check-ins. Newborn care education (swaddling, soothing, bathing). Feeding support (breastfeeding, pumping, or formula feeding guidance). Light household organization, meal prep, and sibling integration support.

​From the moment she walked through the door, Selena brought a sense of calm that instantly eased our new-parent anxiety. She has an incredible intuition for exactly what a healing mother and a newborn need. Whether she was subtly managing the household chaos, preparing nourishing meals, or offering evidence-based guidance on infant sleep and feeding, she did it all with zero judgment and a massive heart. ​What truly sets Selena apart is how she cares for the entire family unit. She didn't just take care of the baby so we could sleep (though her overnight support is pure magic); she mothered me when I needed it most, holding space for the intense emotions of the fourth trimester. ​Because of Selena, we didn’t just survive the postpartum period—we actually got to slow down, heal, and bond with our baby. She is professional, deeply knowledgeable, endlessly compassionate, and feels like family by the time her shift ends.

SummerNickol was the best doula and supporter I could have ever asked for during my pregnancy. As a first-time mom, I had so much to learn, and she guided me through everything I needed to know about becoming a mother. She encouraged me to take classes, helped me create a birth plan, and made sure the nurses and doctors knew my preferences. During delivery, she was a calming presence, teaching me breathing techniques and supporting me through every step. She truly takes her job seriously and goes above and beyond to ensure you’re comfortable, informed, and at ease. I was heartbroken when she moved because she was such an incredible part of my journey. SummerNickol was born to do this—she’s a natural nurturer and caregiver. If you’re looking for a doula who genuinely cares, she’s the one!

Hello! My name is Lindsay Osterhoudt and I live in Raleigh, NC. I was lucky enough to discover Hypnobabies during my first pregnancy, before the days of Facebook and Social Media! I believe if you don't know your options in birth then you don't have any options! I'm excited to share my knowledge of Hypnobabies with families so they can make the best decisions for themselves and their baby during pregnancy and birth. I am a registered Hypno-Doula through Hypnobabies® and a Hypnobabies® Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor. I have had the pleasure of teaching for seven years, teaching over 85+ families, as well as using Hypnobabies® for the birth of my own five children. Additionally, I'm a Body Ready Method Certified Birth Professional. I have been trained on how to help clients prepare their bodies to improve baby positioning and pelvic space. I've prepared with specific hands-on tools to encourage progress and address delays and I can help you advocate for the birth of your dreams!

I wanted to be more informed for my second birth, so I took Lindsay's Hypnobabies course, and she was my doula. We met many times during my pregnancy because she was the one teaching the course. The support I received from Lindsay was truly incredible. Lindsay is very quick to respond. I could text her anytime and she would reply in 5 minutes. She is knowledgeable, and if she didn't know, she would get back to me without needing to ask. She truly goes the extra mile to help you make informed decisions. She is unbiased and non-judgmental, and advocates for bodily autonomy. I was amazed at how my hypnobabies training, combined with Lindsay's care during my labor, helped me stay calm and relaxed the entire time. I was so relaxed and comfortable that I had an unplanned home birth with Lindsay (no midwife)! Words can't capture how life-changing it was in the best possible way. I love how attentive she was in changing my position, giving hip squeezes, providing cold towels, and staying with us, holding my baby while we navigated the hospital visit, etc. She goes the extra mile for her clients. I would highly recommend her services and hypnobabies (they pair excellent together) to a friend if you're looking for a calm, unmedicated birth experience!

Hello! My name is Alyssa, and a I am a birth and postpartum doula with New Creation Birth Services out of Raleigh, NC! It is my joy to walk alongside families on their journeys into parenthood. It is my goal to listen and understand the needs and preferences of each family in order to help them have a confident, empowering, and fulfilling experience. Feel free to submit a request for me through our website or to reach out to me directly through email or phone. I look forward to serving you in any way I can!

Alyssa was such a blessing! After going into labor, my husband and I were unsure about when to go to the hospital and what to do to help labor progress. Alyssa helped us labor at home for six hours before my water broke and we headed to the hospital. While we were at home she was such a great support. She helped me move around and change positions a lot more than I would have on my own. We walked up and down the stairs, knelt on all fours, and moved into different positions with the yoga ball. When I was moving around, Alyssa did counter pressure on my lower back which made a big difference as well. It was a relief to have her advice on when to call the midwife and in timing contractions. She stayed with me when I was admitted to the hospital and continued to help me move around into different positions in the hospital room and took turns with my husband and a friend doing counter pressure on my back. My labor was longer than expected which was scary at times, but Alyssa continued to be a big support as we made decisions. She helped remind me of what I had requested in my birth plan, and made sure I was aware and able to make an informed decision when the providers suggested deviations from the plan. Eventually my beautiful, healthy baby boy was born. Alyssa stayed with us for several hours after his birth to make sure we were doing well and getting a great start with nursing. A week after the birth she came back to our house and helped with our baby overnight so my husband and I could get some much needed sleep. It was a big help to have support postpartum, especially since we don’t have family nearby to help. Even if I was not planning to have an unmedicated birth, I would hire Alyssa again because it is such a comfort to have someone knowledgeable with you to assist during labor and with decision making.

We worked with Netta and Doula Dynasty for four months for overnights from the day we brought our second daughter home from the hospital. From that first night, Netta was incredible. Very caring, responsible, professional and safe with our daughter and also supportive of me postpartum. She is positive, loving and knows exactly what to do to help your baby sleep so that you can get some rest. She’s also helped us during the day too and is a lovely person. Highly recommend!

Recent review

We acquired Makayla's postpartum services for the birth of our second child and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! Despite being experienced parents, juggling the constant needs of a newborn and toddler with all of our daily household responsibilities was really challenging. Having Makayla support us a few days or nights a week to help with light household chores, meal prep and baby-wearing in addition to all the education and care she provides, really helped maintain our sanity, helped us recharge and also allowed us one on one quality time with our toddler (which can be difficult to achieve!). It was so nice to have someone come over to look after this very tired Mom and give her a break for a change! The overnight shifts were a tremendous lifesaver as well, giving everyone much needed continuous rest and energy. Her breadth of knowledge and experience were helpful refreshers and great advice for us to ensure quality care for our sons. Makayla truly is amazing and transitioned right into being our default babysitter, the only one we trust with both kids.
