Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Charlotte, NC

My name is Jawanna Gaines, and I walk with women and families across the thresholds of birth, postpartum, womb healing, and, when needed, loss. My own journey — through womb surgeries, healing, and the calling into doula work — attuned me to the deep wisdom of the body and the sacred nature of life’s passages. I believe birth, like death, is not only a physical event but also a spiritual initiation — one that deserves to be witnessed, honored, and held with reverence. My philosophy is rooted in presence, intentionality, and ceremony. I am here not to direct your path, but to hold steady light as you cross your own, offering care that is gentle, grounded, and deeply human.

Hi, I’m Samantha, a certified birth doula and the owner of Anchor and Rise Doula Services.

I’m passionate about helping parents feel empowered, heard, and confident as they navigate their unique birth journey.

I really aim to support mothers to the best of my abilities. I understand the pros and cons of interventions and can help you understand them as well. I will help you advocate for your dream birth and I will support you with whatever you need.

Hello! My name is Lily and I am a holistic pregnancy and birth practioner and birth doula, serving Kings Mountain and surrounding areas. My passion is natural health, specifically in the realm of pregnancy and birth. Supporting mothers in the most life changing and important event in their lives brings me so much happiness and fulfillment- I can truly say it is my life's calling.

After a beautiful and empowering first birth, although it didn't go according to my original vision, a fire was lit to come alongside families in their own birth journeys. As a doula, I will support you whether you choose a home birth, a planned cesarean, or anything in between. My goal is that you know your options, are supported in them, and are surrounded by feelings of safety and love. I have worked in a variety of capacities before arriving in the birth world. I studied Exercise Science in college, where I learned the amazing things our bodies are capable of when we treat them properly or move them in certain ways. I've worked as an exercise physiologist in cardiac rehab, and as a wellness coach in a hospital setting. I was in full-time ministry, working with college students and teenagers. In that capacity, I learned to meet people where they're at, to comfort and to “hold space” for someone. These experiences brought me to a new understanding of wholeness - body, mind and spirit. This set me up perfectly to team up alongside women in their birth journeys - one of the most life-changing events we can experience!

My family and I love all things outdoors, including our horses, chickens, our Great Pyrenees, Lucy and our garden!
