About me

Hello. I am DaVetta Thurman, a Certified International Birth Doula. I am available to assist all moms-to-be with their birthing journey. I particularly guide moms who choose to have natural births and I am also available to assist moms who elect to have medicated births. I've enjoyed helping women have a memorable birthing experience, ensuring all of their needs and wants are heard and attended to. I would love to be there for you as you prepare to welcome your new addition. Know that you are not alone, and I will be there for you every step of the way. Email me at doulas4divas@gmail.com so that we can discuss the variety of packages I have to offer you and your family.

Service introduction

I am a trained Hypno-doula and birth doula. I provide emotional and physical support to all moms-to-be. Mindfulness, meditation, and coping methods are used to assist in providing the optimal birthing experience. My approach to birthing is a natural approach, with guidance on interventions when natural birthing is no longer an option. I am also an advocate for maternal health, ensuring you are heard and respected throughout your birthing experience.
