Greetings, I’m passionate about supporting families as a doula. I’m a proud mom to one lovely little girl who inspires me every day. My journey into birth work began with a deep desire to help others feel seen, heard, and empowered during life’s most intimate moments. I graduated from Virginia State University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, but I found my true calling in the world of birth and postpartum care. Those who know me would describe me as genuine, warm, and incredibly attentive to the needs of others. I believe in holding space with compassion and providing thoughtful, personalized care to each family I serve. Being a doula allows me to combine my nurturing spirit with my commitment to making a positive impact in people’s lives.

Hi! I'm Elizabeth! I have been a doula since 2015. I am a mother of two boys. I love to serve women in education, labor and delivery. My belief is that women were created to birth. You are capable and empowered through preparation and your innate ability; because of how you were created. I believe the support that women receive in birth can make a tremendous difference in labor and the result of birth. It would be my joy to come alongside of you to encourage you and assist you in every need that arises.

My name is Christina, and I have been a doula since 2011. I have always had a deep passion for helping expectant mothers, and being a doula has been a very rewarding calling in my life. While living in Chicago in 2011, I pursued my doula training through DONA International and also attended Bradley childbirth education courses, as part of my training. I worked with the Chicago Volunteer Doulas in four Chicago hospitals, served private clients, and became a New Moms Group facilitator. I moved to Boston in 2012 and continued to be a doula, while working at a national maternal and child health nonprofit. I also received a Master of Public Health degree and specialized in Maternal and Child Health. I loved working toward my degree, as I became up-to-date on all the growing research that affects moms and babies, working extensively on the website birthbythenumbers.org. In the spring of 2014, I attained my certification in Lamaze Childbirth Education and loved being an educator for new families. In 2017, I became certified in Spinning Babies, a skill set I deeply value. Spinning Babies helped me to re-define progress in labor and how to reverse a stalled labor. In 2020, my husband and I moved to Durham, NC and I now do birth work in the Triangle area. My approach to childbirth education and birth doula services is that the client has all the information they need to make their own informed decision about their birth. I am also a lifelong Catholic and help many Catholic families in the Triangle.

Hello!! My name is Ocean, and I am a passionate birth doula based in Chapel Hill, NC. I am part of UNC Hospital’s ‘Birth Partners’ program, which is where I was trained. I feel centered and fulfilled when I am able to support people during this transformative, vulnerable, beautiful time. I love to approach the birth space from a mental wellness perspective to help create positive birth experiences! I love being very hands on, providing physical and emotional support. I want to help support and advocate for YOU to have the birth experience you are hoping for. Outside of my doula role, I am currently deciding on whether to pursue Nursing or Clinical Mental Health schooling. When I am not exploring these options, I love to read, explore outside, and play with the families I nanny for. All the best!

Hi parents :) I’m Alexa & I have a deep passion for helping women connect with the natural rhythms of their body.

I am currently not taking any new clients, but I wish you the best in your search!
