Precious Sumner

Hi there! My name is Precious, and I'm a licensed massage therapist and birth doula located in Columbia, South Carolina. I specialized in prenatal and postpartum massage for YEARS before beginning my Doula journey. I believe that pregnancy shouldn't be taken so lightly, and that no one should go through such a vulnerable and life changing experience alone. My goal is too make birth memorable, comfortable, safe, and empowering for those entering parenthood. Coming from the background in Massage Therapy, Massage can be very beneficial for those who are expecting both during labor, and postpartum! I strongly believe birth can be the most peaceful combined with compassion, massage, and positive affirmations. My practice is 100% judgement free, and I strive to create an inclusive and safe space for all parents seeking informational and emotional support during and after labor! In my free time, I'm a huge nerd. I love visiting local cafes. watching anime, and crafting! If your just as nerdy as I am, I think we'd be a good fit, haha.

Precious is kind, attentive, and truly gifted at what she does! The massage was one of the best I’ve ever had; intuitive, calming, and deeply restorative. What really caught my eye was the Hello Kitty and Pink aesthetic! It felt as if I was in my own room, assisting with putting me at ease to enjoy my massage!

As a full-spectrum doula, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support throughout the entire reproductive journey. This holistic approach encompasses various phases of pregnancy, childbirth, loss, and postpartum care, ensuring that every individual or couple feels empowered and supported no matter where they are on their path. My training and experience equip me to offer emotional, physical, and informational guidance tailored to each client’s unique needs. I believe that every experience surrounding childbirth and family growth can be met with compassion, respect, and understanding. In my practice, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where my clients can express their feelings, ask questions, and explore their options freely. From prenatal education and labor support to navigating complexities around miscarriage and postpartum recovery, I am here to provide reassurance and advocacy. I aim to foster a partnership that honors the choices of my clients, helping them to cultivate a sense of empowerment and confidence throughout their journey. Whether guiding them through joyful moments or offering solace in times of loss, my commitment is to be a steady presence and a reliable resource. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of providing virtual birth and postpartum services that prioritize the well-being of both parents and newborns. By leveraging technology, I have facilitated prenatal classes, offered emotional support, and provided educational resources to expectant parents from the comfort of their homes. My approach emphasizes a compassionate, personalized experience that ensures parents feel informed and empowered during this transformative time. The feedback I have received highlights my ability to create a supportive environment, enabling families to navigate the challenges of birth and postpartum with confidence. In addition to direct support, I have crafted tailored programs that address specific needs, such as postpartum recovery, infant care, and mental health. By utilizing video conferencing and online resources, I have maintained ongoing relationships with families, helping them adjust and thrive in their new roles. Each interaction reinforces my commitment to fostering resilience, nurturing bonds, and ensuring a smooth transition into parenthood. My experiences have not only enhanced my skills but also deepened my understanding of the diverse journeys that parents embark on, making me a dedicated ally in their parenting journey. As a full-spectrum doula, I find immense joy in supporting birthing mothers and postpartum families throughout their unique journeys. Each experience is different, yet there’s a magical thread that ties them all together—the incredible strength and resilience of women. From the moment I step into a birthing room, I can feel the expectations, hopes, and dreams that surround the arrival of a new life. Witnessing this intimate moment is not just a job for me; it feels like an honor to be welcomed into such a sacred space. Building relationships with these mothers is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my work. I am constantly inspired by their stories, their preparations, and their desires to create a loving environment for their children. Each mother brings a unique perspective and set of experiences, which enriches my own understanding of motherhood and the birthing process. I love hearing about their goals and fears, and I cherish the trust they place in me during such a vulnerable time. The postpartum period is equally rewarding as I support mothers in their transition to nurturing both themselves and their little ones. I see the challenges they face, from sleepless nights to balancing self-care with caring for a newborn. I witness their triumphs, too, as they embrace their new roles and develop a bond with their babies. Being able to provide guidance, reassurance, and practical help during this time brings me immense satisfaction, knowing I can contribute to their journey towards wellness. Reflecting on my role, I realize that being a doula is about more than just physical support; it’s about being an emotional anchor. The privilege of walking alongside these extraordinary women and helping them navigate one of life’s most profound moments fills me with gratitude. Each birth story is a testament to the strength of mothers, and it’s an honor that brings purpose to my life. I look forward to continuing this journey, feeling blessed to share in these incredible experiences with birthing and postpartum mothers.
