About me

My name is D’Starr, and I have over 15 years of experience supporting birthing people and families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with calm, informed, and compassionate care. I serve my community as a birth and postpartum doula, a trained monitrice providing limited clinical support, and a maternity self-care specialist. My work is rooted in evidence-based practice, cultural awareness, and deep respect for physiologic birth and family autonomy. In addition to my doula practice, I have completed my formal midwifery education and continue to work within a home birth midwifery practice while preparing for the national midwife certification examination through the National Association of Registered Midwives. This allows me to offer families strong clinical insight alongside continuous emotional and practical support. I am especially passionate about supporting families who desire informed, empowered births and attentive postpartum care. My goal is to help clients feel confident, seen, and supported throughout one of the most transformative seasons of their lives.

Starr is so much more than a birth doula! She is like family. We met before I had my baby and mentioned I wanted to get my hair braided before I went into labor and she said she's a licensed cosmetologist too, so I asked her to braid my hair at our next appointment and she did not disappoint! Then at the birth she was so knowledgeable and understanding. Me and my family definitely felt safe and secure with her by our side.

Starr is amazing. She was so supportive and knowledgeable. She was able to give me information as the doctors and hospital staff were trying to get me do more than I was comfortable with, my partner was able to decline with confidence. She was able to take a lot of our stress away. I basically feel like she is my sister. When I get pregnant again I pray she be my doula.
