With a background in Women's functional health, Cycle Charting education, and my own journey to Motherhood including a cesarean birth after planning a dream home birth, I have a wide scope of experience and understand your unique situation may call you to birth in a different way than you anticipated. I'm a mother-centric provider and birth partner. holding mama comes first, holding baby comes second or not at all. My priority is to make YOU feel seen, cared for, educated, supported, and held through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Beyond birth doula support, I teach cycle charting empowering you to choose when you have children and also helping you make sense of your menstrual cycle and what your symptoms reveal about your overall health. When clients uncover areas of health they can support, I can support them in finding answers through access to functional hormone testing and lifestyle coaching. I can't wait to meet you and support your unique story no matter where you find yourself in the journey of women's health and motherhood. BTW, I'm neurodivergent myself and so I have a real and personal understanding of low or fluctuating capacity. You can count on me to be understanding of your capacity in the decisions you make and will never judge you.

Working with Brielle was a wonderful way to help educate our daughter further on puberty and her body. She was a pleasure to work with, kind, and takes parents' values into account. I even learned something I didn't know! I'd highly recommend her program.

Hello, my name is Shanna E. Stevens, and I am the heart and hands behind Pleasant Passage Doula. As a certified birth doula, mother of five, and grandmother, I bring not only professional training but also lived wisdom and compassion into every birth space I enter. My journey into birth work is rooted in a deep calling to support families through one of life’s most sacred transitions—with presence, encouragement, and care that honors the unique story of each family. I understand that birth is not just a physical experience—it is emotional, mental, and spiritual. My role is to hold space for all of it. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you with steadiness and respect. I believe birth is a profound rite of passage that belongs to the birthing person and their family. My philosophy is grounded in three values: 🌿 Empowerment through knowledge – When families are informed, they can make choices that feel aligned with their values and desires. I provide evidence-based resources, practical tools, and gentle guidance so you feel confident in your decisions. 🌿 Unwavering support – Birth can be unpredictable, but you are never alone. I offer continuous emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and advocacy, ensuring your voice is heard and your needs are respected throughout the process. 🌿 Respect for your unique journey – No two births look the same. I honor your cultural background, preferences, and intuition. My goal is not to shape your birth into my vision, but to help you feel safe, seen, and supported in yours. It is my honor to walk beside families as they welcome new life. Every birth is sacred, and I consider it a privilege to witness your strength, resilience, and love as you step into parenthood.

Julia Byrum

Julia Byrum is the founder and sole proprietor of Selah Birth Services. Here are a few fun facts about her. Julia and the love of her life, Benaiah just celebrated their first year of marriage. A graduate of Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN, she majored in Music and Theology and minored in Family Science. She has a deep passion for worship and plans on incorporating that into her doula career. Julia loves spending time outdoors, exploring nature, and traveling to new places around the world. At home, she finds joy in the everyday: cooking, baking, decorating their new home, and keeping a warm, well-loved space. Above all, she loves and serves the Lord with her whole life, and counts herself deeply blessed to step into this new calling as a doula and childbirth educator. Selah Birth Services is a Christ-centered Doula and Childbirth Education business and ministry. Since she was a young girl Julia has had an interest and love for birth. She is now fulfilling her dream of being doula and bringing the Lord into her work. When choosing a name for her business, Julia landed on the word "Selah". Selah is a Biblical word which appears mostly in the Psalms and means, "to pause and reflect." In Scripture, this gives the reader a chance to contemplate what they just read. In worship, this allows space to be still and silent to listen intently to the Lord. And in labor, this applies to the break in between contractions; a chance to pause, a chance to breathe, a chance to rest in the presence of the Lord. Julia is not only equipped with the knowledge to be a professional and educated birth worker, but she also sees birth work as a ministry. She desires to bless and support families as they emerge into parenthood. Bringing life into this world is a gift from the Lord and Julia would be honored to support you in your journey.

Hi, my name is Amber and Im a birth doula. Im passionate about physiological birth. I have 3 children, and love a good chai latte.

Amber was an incredible support throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. From the very beginning, she was kind, understanding, and incredibly informative. She helped me clearly define my ideal birth plan by asking thoughtful questions I hadn’t even considered, which made me feel more confident and prepared going into labour. Throughout my pregnancy, Amber provided consistent emotional and physical support. She was always available when I needed to talk, and her calm, reassuring presence made a huge difference during such an important time. She truly made me feel supported in every aspect of my journey. During labour, she went above and beyond—bringing snacks, offering water and juice, and stepping in seamlessly when my partner was occupied with our other child. In those moments, she was exactly the kind of support I needed: attentive, grounded, and fully present. She also communicated my birth plan clearly to the doctors and nurses and confidently spoke up on my behalf when I wasn’t able to answer questions myself, which allowed me to stay focused and feel cared for. Her postpartum care was just as amazing. She came to my home with thoughtful treats and drinks, and truly took the time to check in on me. Even before the birth, she made sure I had a postpartum plan in place, including meals and self-care, which made a big difference in my recovery and overall experience. I’m so grateful to have had Amber by my side—I felt supported, empowered, and never alone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
