Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Chesapeake, VA

Hello, my name is Ana and I am a certified birth and postpartum Doula, Placenta Specialist, and birth photographer. My journey to birth work started four years ago after becoming pregnant with my first baby. I am very passionate about all things birth, postpartum and motherhood. My main priority when working with families is creating a string connection with everyone involved and making sure that my clients are informed and feel in control.

I am the Director of Empower- A Birth Collective. We are a group of birth and wellness professionals that serve the families and providers in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area. We approach supporting families with compassion, inclusivity, and enthusiasm for their birth and parenting choices. I am a professional birth and postpartum doula, childbirth and parenting educator, placenta specialist, doula trainer and mentor.

Hello! I am a state certified doula, Medicaid approved doula, perinatal specialist and placenta specialist. I support families across Hampton Roads and I would love to be considered as part of your support team.

Hi there! I'm Rebekah Niesen, and I became a Certified Birth Doula and Certified Lactation Counselor after birthing 4 kids and breastfeeding them all. I firmly believe that labor support, both emotional and physical, has an incredibly positive effect on labor outcomes, health of mother and baby, even bonding of your new family. My background includes the various fields of a degree in Microbiology and my first job which was to mentor college students, uniting my interests of research with communication and coaching. I have applied this to being a birth doula and lactation counselor, educating the family in evidence-based best practice to cultivate advocacy empowerment and how it pertains to each individual situation. When I am not serving others, you can find me walking the dog, reading a good book, accompanying my average singing with my average guitar playing, or playing board games with my husband and kids. I take Tricare insurance and can work with you if your insurance covers family services.

A Little About Myself My name is Elise Osmun, I grew up in a small town in southern Oregon with my parents and three siblings. Over the last ten years I have made many moves in my life. My family and I left Oregon to live in San Diego California where I then attend San Diego State University to obtain a Bachelors in Psychology. While working as a professional nanny for years, I gained a beautiful community of families, mothers, and babies. I had the pleasure of meeting a doula who suggested I volunteer at the hospital birthing center to see how I liked it. I fell in love with the Doula world and went on to obtain my certification. While going through the program I realized the many other certifications that would be beneficial in helping as many people as possible. I have met my life partner and decided to join his military lifestyle. After a few moves we now have a long term home in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I have always had a strong passion for supporting families during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Each family has their own way of parenting, needs, and values. My goal is to support you in having a non-judgmental, informed, and respected birth experience. I am committed to getting to know you throughout your pregnancy, and creating a close relationship with you before that special day. It would be an honor to support & comfort you during these most intimate and sacred moments of your life!

I am in doula school trying to figure out what the demand is in the area:)

Greetings, families. My name is Ottavia Turner, and I am a full-spectrum birth and postpartum care doula and a traditional midwifery assistant. I support families throughout the entire pregnancy journey, including hands-on support during the labor and birth process, ensuring you feel informed, empowered, and advocated for every step of the way. My services range from birth advocacy, labor support, childbirth education, holistic health practices, postpartum and nanny care, yoga, singing bowl sessions, and homeschool education, and so much more. I became a birth worker after experiencing my own home birth ceremony with my son. It was a deeply magical and transformative experience—one that showed me the power of intentional, supported birth. From that moment on, I knew I was called to support like-minded families in creating a birth experience that aligns with their desires, honors their body, and becomes a memorable and sacred moment for a lifetime.

I’m a Coastal Virginia mama with a deep love for supporting families. My journey started as a nanny, caring for little ones and walking alongside parents through the early years.

From growing bellies to tiny fingers wrapped around yours, I’m here to tell your story—start to finish.
