Aeryka Harvey

9 years of experience

I am a child birth educator, birth and postpartum doula, placenta and breastfeeding specialist, as well as an OBGYN Resident. I draw on my knowledge in all capacities to help support families in any way that they need. I support all family styles and birthing styles.

I have worked with Aerkya since 2019 for 4 pregnancies and it wasn't until this last one that I realized that the reason we came to blows was totally my fault. There was no physical altercation and I can't even say that there was a heated verbal exchange because I did all of the verbal attacking and used all the inflammatory language. For my first pregnancy she was beyond helpful to my family. She was more than a doula and something like a therapist. She showed up for me not just physically but emotionally and I know I got on her nerves with as much as I called and texted her. She has NEVER said this but I'm sure I was a nag. My second delivery in 2021 was much of the same but I'd lost my dad at the end of my pregnancy. I went into labor the day after his funeral and she literally held me while I dealt with every emotion known to man. My third delivery in 2023 was my easiest pregnancy and delivery and she was there every step of the way. My most recent delivery this year 2026 was rough. The pregnancy and the delivery were hard on me physically and emotionally and while Aerkya did her best to keep me focused on the main goal, I was not a walk in the park to deal with. I have moved about 50 minutes away from where I lived with the first three deliveries and because I have had home deliveries I always wanted to make sure my birth team could get to me easily. I went into labor around 5 am in the morning but I didn't call her until maybe 8:30. Knowing with morning traffic it would be at least a hour almost 2 to reach me. I called her several times to see where she was knowing she was in traffic and hearing her driving and horns honking in the background. She stayed calm even though I was a real you know what. I cursed at her, I yelled at her, I told her that she should've just known that I was in labor. And if you get to know her, you know she can match your fire but she didn't. She remained calm and gentle with me and to this day I don't know why she didn't go off on me. I didn't even call my midwife I just called Aerkya. I found out later that she called my midwife on her way to my house because she lives even farther away and it would be an even longer drive for her. I ended up delivering my baby that 2:27 that afternoon and I was happy but still dealing with other personal stuff so I was mean even after having a healthy baby with no complications. I yelled because Aerkya and the midwife were there. They did nothing wrong to me or my children. Aerkya called and texted me, my husband, my mom, my sister and my best friend DAILY to check on me and the baby. They would tell me to reach out to her to just let her know we were ok but instead I called her, cursed and yelled at her and told her not to contact me or my family again. All she said was okay and if you experience her "okay", you'll learn that she basically told me she was done with me. I found out later on that she kept reaching out to my husband, sister and best friend to help them help me. It took me about a month to feel something like myself again and I realized that I was mean to my entire family. I reached out to my midwife and Aerkya to apologize and make things right. I went back through texts and realized just how horrible I was to her. She still tried to be there for me. I have reached out countless times in the past month and haven't gotten a response and I deserve that. I wouldn't respond to me either. Aerkya went above and beyond for me each pregnancy but I had unrealistic expectations of her this time around. Aerkya has a calm presence that you wouldn't even realize you need until it's there. She listens attentively and I never felt rushed with her. Even if she had decided not to show up for my delivery because I was nasty to her I could never replace or ignore how she showed up for me through other pregnancies and deliveries and through this one. I hope she will have me for any further pregnancies because I'm not working with anyone else but her.

Rabsaris Arreaza

10 years of experience

We're Rabsaris and Magedda — a mother-daughter birth and postpartum doula team based in Alpharetta, serving the Atlanta metro. I've supported 200+ births across hospitals, birth centers and homes. Unmedicated, VBAC, induction, epidural, planned or unplanned C-section — every path, every family, every kind of birth. Childbirth education and Body Ready Method® preparation are built into every package because we cut no corners. This is comprehensive, all-inclusive doula care that is deeply personal and tailored entirely to you — from the person who will actually be in the room holding your hand through the hardest and most powerful moments of your life. Magedda is the mom you owe nothing to. That level of love, warmth and care — without the opinions, without the agenda. She handles postpartum — daytime and overnight newborn care, nourishing support, and the kind of calm that makes the whole house exhale so you can finally rest and recover. We don't show up with a checklist or an ideal version of how this should go. We show up ready to meet you exactly where you are. LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed, sliding scale available for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ families. Many clients successfully use HSA/FSA funds and workplace family benefits like Carrot to cover doula services.

My whole family is obsessed with Rabsaris. We had the pleasure of having her as our doula a couple years ago for the home birth of my second born, and she was so amazing every step of the way. She is warm, knowledgeable, and hilarious. She’s not afraid to give you the truth, and she’s very straightforward, which I appreciate. Also, her chocolate chip cookies are unmatched. She is a wonderful, honest, genuine person. She has such a passion for supporting pregnant people and their families and it shows in how intentional she is about everything she does. Every prenatal felt like a full childbirth education course. I learned so much during her visits. I still use the calming techniques she taught my husband and me for everyday life with a toddler! At my actual birth, I felt like my sister was taking care of me. I felt so loved and supported. It was like she was reading my mind every step of the way. I can’t even really describe it, but I can’t imagine my birth without her. It was so beautiful to have her there for me, my husband, and my oldest kiddo (who, again, is OBSESSED with her). I could go on, but to keep it short: Rabsaris’ services were worth every single penny and then some. I cannot recommend her enough. Do yourself a favor and hire her as your doula. You won’t regret it!

Lauren Swanson

Hello! My name is Lauren, and I provide heartfelt birth and postpartum support for mothers and families during one of life’s most transformative seasons. As both a birth and postpartum doula—and a mother myself—I understand the importance of feeling empowered, nurtured, and understood throughout pregnancy, birth, and the days that follow. Whether it’s offering calm, steady presence during labor, or providing personalized postpartum care—like preparing meals, tending to laundry, offering emotional support, or sharing practical guidance—I’m here to walk alongside you. My goal is to create a space rooted in simplicity, generosity, and authenticity so you can feel cared for and focus on what matters most: your growing family.

Lauren is amazing! She helped me build my birth plan and was able to bring her own experience and knowledge to help me make educated decisions. I ended up having to be medically induced early, and she talked through my birth plan with me again and helped me make adjustments. Day of, it was SO helpful to have her in the room to talk through decisions because the midwife was giving recommendations to change my birth plan, and it was so helpful to have a third party person who was educated in L&D to be able to talk this through with and come to the best conclusion for me. In the midst of giving birth, she was so helpful, attending to our every need. Because we had met ahead of time and she really took the time to get to know my goals and desires, she was able to advocate for me. I had precipitous labor, so things escalated quickly. At one point, my midwife asked me a question about pain meds that needed an immediate response. I was mid-contraction and unable to speak, but Lauren jumped in with no hesitation and communicated exactly what I wanted to say! She was also able to help keep my husband calm and engaged during our baby’s birth, and even he said he was so thankful Lauren was there with us! I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone interested in hiring a doula!

Hi! I’m Manda, and I’m a birth and postpartum doula with a deep passion for supporting mothers through one of the most transformative seasons of their lives. My journey into doula work became personal after experiencing pregnancy loss and later becoming a rainbow baby mama myself.

I love helping families feel confident, informed, and never alone during this chapter.

If you’re looking for a doula who leads with compassion, advocacy, and real connection, I’d love to connect with you!

Mislene Cherisca

theeloahdoula@gmail.com <- Best way to contact me. Peace & blessings! My name is Mislene and I have been providing doula support in my community for about 6 years now. Being a doula brings me so much joy and I love what I do! Assisting in this beautiful experience, as a guide while you deliver a complex being into this realm is my passion. Within my Haitian culture, I have learn so much about the process of taking care of a woman’s body, especially during pregnancy and birth. Haiti really emphasizes in womb healing, and being surrounded by the women of the village during this intimate moment. I provide physical, emotional, mental, and informational support, to women and their partners. I make sure that you and your partner are confident enough to be your own advocates to ensure a positive birth experience. This is my true purpose.

Mislene was very knowledgeable and informative during my Pregnancy journey. She helped us prep for birth and also create a birth plan by answering many of my questions and concerns. She helped to ease a lot of fears we had especially being new to the GA healthcare system. Mislene was also very gentle and kind. We gravitated to her spirit immediately and I felt such relief from the first time we met her. Her guidance and advice was priceless! I wanted someone to advocate for me during labor because my husband can get a little overwhelmed doing that and she did just that to make sure all of our needs were met even though we had to a medically necessary emergency c section. I love that she is grounded in her roots and could share many homeopathic remedies with us. Her personal post partem care packages were awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed the in-home pampering and care she provided. Her massages were awesome! We also did the placenta services she offered and were very happy with that as well. I’m so happy the universe connected her with us and at the perfect time.

After labor she continued checking on me and gave me great advice that helped me heal. I recommend Tremaine because she has very caring, helpful and knowledgeable.

I worked with Candice during Covid and she did not skip a beat. She provided us with virtual services that could not be matched. As someone going through pregnancy, labor, and delivery for the first time, during this period of social distancing the experience felt somewhat isolating and intimidating. But Candice answered every question and calmed my nerves with her confident reassurance throughout. I’m very grateful to have been able to work with her.

Subrina Sineus

9 years of experience

Having a passion of caring for babies and young children ever since young, I have extended that passion through education becoming a certified postpartum doula. With years of newborn, infant and young childcare under my belt, I have had the pleasure of caring for newborns, infants, and young children with a variety of needs. The needs include colic, premature care, circumcision care, sight disabilities and more. Providing quality and compassionate care for mothers, newborns, infants, toddlers and young children is my number priority. In the midst of my journey of newborn, infant, toddler and childcare care, I became aware of the care and attention that is needed towards women. The ability to create a safe space for them in many ways built up my courage to dive deeper into caregiving.
