Hi y’all my name is Hallee, founder of Haven Harbor Doula Care. I am a new birth and postpartum doula.

Hi, I'm Corina - midwife, mother, and matrescence facilitator. For over 30 years, I’ve held sacred space for women at their most raw and powerful moments—guiding them through the threshold of childbirth and into the postpartum period as a midwife. As a single mother of three and a purpose-driven entrepreneur, I know intimately the ache of trying to hold it all together while slowly losing touch with myself. After the birth of my third daughter, I was brought to my knees by the depths of postpartum depression and anxiety. I turned to the very tools I now teach—embodiment, feminine power, and the transformational map of matrescence—to reclaim my life from burnout and disconnection. Today, as a midwife and transformational facilitator, I support mothers in doing the same: coming home to themselves, reigniting their passion, and stepping fully into the powerful, integrated women they were born to be—at home, in business, and in the world.

Greetings! My name is Willow, mother to a sweet little girl named Alierah. After my own pregnancy and freebirth with my daughter, a fire was lit in me to find my place in birth work. That calling led me to become a doula; I desire to support and uplift mamas through their own birth journeys, and to help families find their innate wisdom when it comes to birth. I'm holistic minded with a passion for sovereign birth in all settings - hospital or home- and a special spot in my heart for freebirth. I offer sincere, compassionate care, with a deep respect for the sacredness of birth. Birth is a hurricane- it's messy, it's hard. It's also beautiful and empowering. If you're transitioning from maiden to mother for the first time, or traveling through the inward journey of labor once again, I'd be deeply honored to walk with you and serve you... and to nourish your family with love and loyalty during this transformative time in your life.
