Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Charlottesville, VA

Hello! My name is Telisha Woodfin, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, Certified Doula, Certified Educator of Infant Massage, and the founder of LIVLoved Family Support. Through LIVLoved, I provide postpartum doula care, virtual coaching, and infant massage education to families from birth through age five. With more than 20 years of experience supporting children and families in early intervention, mental health, and developmental disabilities, I believe every family deserves support that feels safe, compassionate, and aligned with their unique values and needs. My approach is relationship-based, trauma-informed, and focused on helping parents build confidence, connection, and calm during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of parenting. I am especially passionate about supporting families navigating NICU experiences, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, medically complex journeys, multiples, sibling transitions, and perinatal or infant loss. When I'm not working with families, I enjoy cooking, listening to music, spending time with family, friends, and godchildren, and exploring my newfound love of gardening. My guiding mantra is simple: Give love. Receive love. Live loved. Learn more at www.livloved.com.

My name is Noelle Voltz-Mongold (BCD), and I’m a Full Spectrum Doula serving the Shenandoah Valley, including Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Augusta County, and Charlottesville. My journey into birth and reproductive support began in 2020 in Northern Virginia, where I first felt called to walk alongside individuals during some of the most powerful and vulnerable moments of their lives. After moving to the Valley and settling into this beautiful community, I founded Embers of Empowerment Doula Services — a name that reflects my core mission: to help ignite the inner strength that already lives within you. I believe that everyone holds embers of empowerment; sometimes, we just need the right support to help those embers grow into a steady, roaring fire. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, birth, postpartum, abortion, loss, or any part of your reproductive journey, my role is to ensure you feel empowered, heard, and respected every step of the way.

Hi, I’m Siedah Israel, a Certified Labor Doula, Holistic Wellness Practitioner, and Certified Herbalist based in Fredericksburg in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. I’m a wife of 15 years and a homeschooling mother of five. My wellness and birth advocacy journey began with earning a certificate in Massage Therapy from Eastern Virginia Career College in 2018. I later completed my Doula Certification through Germanna Community College in 2024 and graduated with honors in Herbal Studies from the American College of Healthcare Sciences in 2025. I am currently in Phase I of the PEP process as I work toward becoming a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). I have extensive experience supporting families through hospital births, birth center births, and home births. Personally, I have experienced three hospital births and two home births, which deeply informs the care, perspective, and support I offer to the families I serve. When I’m not supporting families, I enjoy homeschooling, spending time outdoors with my children, writing poetry, working on my werewolf novel, and handcrafting natural hair and skincare products. It is a true honor to walk alongside families with compassion, cultural awareness, and grounded support during such a sacred season of life.

Hi, I’m Morgan, a birth doula with a deep passion for supporting women through the sacred and powerful journey of pregnancy and birth. Outside of birth work, you can often find me hiking, camping, traveling, walking my two corgis, reading, spending time with my husband and son, or serving my church and local community. My heart for women’s health began during my very first OB/GYN appointment as a teenager, when I had to navigate a complicated diagnosis and a series of confusing and often scary interactions with specialists. Years later, after facing complications during the birth of my son, my passion for informed care and patient advocacy only grew stronger. That experience not only taught me the importance of understanding my health and my options, but it also deepened my trust in the Lord. Through it all, my faith grew as I leaned into His strength during a season full of unknowns. Since then, I’ve become deeply committed to helping women feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout their reproductive journeys. My journey led me to work on a research team developing an intrauterine balloon stent to help treat Asherman’s Syndrome—a role that involved shadowing OB/GYNs and midwives and sparked a deeper appreciation for the science behind pregnancy and birth. I truly believe that birth is not only fascinating from a medical standpoint, but also incredibly beautiful and sacred. Today, I feel called to walk alongside women in their most vulnerable and transformative moments—offering education, advocacy, and unwavering support as they step into motherhood.

Hi there! I have a huge passion for children and their families, and I strive to provide the best care possible. I have 12 years of childcare experience. This includes church nursery, date nights, two summers of full time nannying, after school nannying, and much more. I love interacting and playing with the kids I watch, at whichever developmental stage they are in. I hold a Bachelors in Psychology, and have two years of experience working as an RBT, supporting children with autism and their families by providing behavioral therapy services and education to families in this population. My experience working both in childcare and as an RBT has taught me much patience and understanding. Each child and family is unique, and understanding, kindness, and empathy go a long way.

Recently, I’ve decided to pivot my career path and am certified now as a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula. I am very passionate about mother-baby care, and I love providing education and resources to families in such a vulnerable stage of life, and find myself thriving and enjoying these opportunities. As previously mentioned, my schedule is currently somewhat flexible, and I can often make odd times work here and there if needed. I am looking to work overnights a few days a week, but am open to other ideas as well! I am CPR certified and can provide references if you would like. I would love to chat about what I offer, and see if it’s a good fit for both parties!

These passions help me stay grounded and serve as a reminder to show myself the love and care I hope to impart on others.

☀️Hey everyone!☀️ 💗My name is Yasmine. I am a certified birth and postpartum doula who’s also completed a birth/ midwives assistant training. 💌I became doula as my love for birth began as a child. I grew up in a large family and loved watching it grow with more babies. When I had my daughter, I was on Medicaid and wanted someone personal to help guide me through birth and labor. I did not know what a doula was exactly at that time. When I got pregnant with my son, I found myself being a doula for friends and mutual friends of mine virtually(due to Covid). It was not until my doula training that I learned Medicaid covers doulas. I then took the steps to become VA state certified and accept VA Medicaid. 🎯My goal is to provide quality, compassionate, empathetic, evidence based support to women who are more likely to get taken advantage of and neglected. As a woman of color, I know what it is like to feel dismissed and talked down to by the birth team/ healthcare system. I want to help you have the tools and confidence in your informed decisions.
