Alexis Chambers

I am a professional labor doula and childbirth educator. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Georgia. I am a dedicated and compassionate labor doula, committed to empowering women and families throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum journey. With a background in mental health and a passion for supporting expectant mothers, I bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and empathy to my role as a doula. My calming demeanor and reassuring presence help to alleviate anxiety and promote a sense of calm during what can be an intense and transformative experience. I have called North Georgia home for the last 18 years. I’ve been married to my husband Adam for 5 years. We have two boys under the age of four. In my spare time I enjoy volunteering on my church’s hospitality team, gardening, and spending time outside with my family. I became interested in becoming a doula after experiencing the benefits of hiring a doula for my second birth. I find great joy in walking with women in their motherhood journey.

I genuinely cannot begin to say how thankful I am for Alexis and how she walked with us through our journey to parenthood. We had two prenatal meetings where she met with my husband and I to talk through our birth wishes and just get to know us as people. She focused on getting to know the "why" behind our birth wishes and not just the "what." Her background in counseling was such a perfect fit with her doula services as she helped us walk through the crazy emotions that surround birth and becoming a parent. We talked through how I would feel emotionally if my birth didn't go "according to plan;" we talked about how our marriage was doing in the midst of the pregnancy. Her birth class was super helpful in it made us informed and prepared about what would and could happen during birth. She did check ins after every OB appointment to see how things were going and see how I was feeling every step of the way. When my water broke, she checked in every few hours to keep up with my early labor and give us tips for the early contractions and then met us at the hospital when I was in active labor. I had all back labor, and she and my husband took turns giving me counter pressure on my back for hours. She helped guide me on when to switch positions and try new tactics. She was even there to help with little things like moving our car because it was still parked out front. After our son was born, Alexis stayed with us a few more hours until we were fully settled in our recovery room. She did a follow up meeting with us about a week after delivery and just sat with us and helped me process my birth experience which thankfully was everything that I wanted, but it's still a lot to process. Alexis set up a meal train for us and even brought a meal herself. She texted and checked in with how I was healing, how I was doing emotionally, and just how I was adjusting to motherhood every few days after birth and then weekly for the first two months postpartum. My husband and I genuinely felt like we weren't in this alone, that we had a guide walking through it with us. It was so nice that my husband could support me emotionally and didn't have to worry about having all of the knowledge to specifically support me during labor - he could focus on being my husband and not my coach. We just felt so supported and encouraged the entire journey. She constantly went above and beyond what a typical doula would do. I cannot rave about Alexis enough, and our plan is to have her present for all future childbirths.

Brittany Zania Mathis

Certified Holistic Doula Located in Covington GA. Wife and mom of 4 beautiful children. Dedicated to providing professional support to all families Located in metro Atlanta and all other surrounding areas.

Me and my husband just had our 3rd baby, and decided it would be helpful to have a postpartum doula join us during my postpartum recovery period. Let's face it, we were officially out numbered and breastfeeding a little we had our hands full and could use a little help. Brittany was a beautiful match for our home. She has an amazingly warm energy about her and so knowledgeable in herbalism. She jumped right in to help where we needed her to, from helping with the kids, laundry, and dishes. It was so helpful in time where I am not 100% yet. She also offered a kind ear to hear my birth story and offered some good advice on how to navigate our new family dynamic. So appreciative to have met such a kind soul and highly recommend her during your postpartum journey.

Savannah del Ray Gonzalez

Growing up in a household that valued holistic health, I learned early on about the importance of caring for our bodies and staying active. My personal journey through health challenges in early adulthood emphasized the need to look beyond symptoms and find the root cause of issues. This experience also highlighted the significance of advocating for one's own health and finding medical professionals who truly listen. With a longstanding passion for helping others and sharing knowledge, I realized my true calling when I took a childbirth education class. This revelation led me to the world of doulas, where I discovered a profound need for support during the birthing journey. The term "Doula," which means "a woman who serves" in Greek, perfectly encapsulates my mission to empower families in their birthing experiences and health choices. My passion for photography beautifully complements my doula work, capturing precious moments during birth that families will treasure forever. This unique combination provides families with both emotional support and lasting memories of their birthing journey. In addition to my doula services, I offer childbirth education classes that guide and empower families. My goal is to help families find their voices and stand firm in their beliefs throughout the birthing process, instilling confidence and a sense of control. When I'm not busy supporting families or teaching classes, I enjoy spending time with my husband, George, and our adventurous cat, Grayson. Together, we explore the great outdoors, whether kayaking, hitting the beach, or hiking. If you are seeking a dedicated professional to make your birthing experience empowering and memorable, you've come to the right place. With me by your side, you can trust that your birth plan and needs will be fully supported throughout your journey.

As a first-time dad, I thought my main job during labor was to not pass out. Turns out, with Savannah by our side, I got to be an actual support system instead of just a nervous wreck holding a granola bar. From the first meeting, Savannah made both of us feel completely at ease. She answered every question, even my ridiculous ones like, “is there a wrong way to hold a leg during pushing?”. She helped us create a birth plan, and more importantly, she made sure we felt confident when things didn’t go exactly according to that plan. When labor started on a Tuesday at 2 AM, she was the first to text back ,faster than my mom, which is saying something. Lol. By Wednesday afternoon, after countless counter-pressure techniques, words of encouragement, and somehow keeping my wife calm through contractions that could bend steel, she was still going strong. I, on the other hand, was running on fumes and hospital vending machine coffee. She even reminded me to eat so I didn’t become the patient instead of the support partner. Then came the magic moment. As my wife was delivering our little one on Wednesday night, Savannah coached me through every step. She knew exactly what we needed even when we didn’t but she always asked before stepping in to make us feel comfortable. This whole experience was a blessing. Thank you Savannah for taking care of my wife and helping welcome our new addition to our family.

Kashea 'Kay' Williams

Hi, I'm Kay! I am a certified Yoni Steam Practitioner, certified level ll Reiki Energy Healer, and currently enrolled in MaternityWise International specializing in Full-Spectrum Doula, Placenta Encapsulation, Childbirth Education, and Lactation Consulting! I have 10 years of professional early childcare/infant care experience. When I am not serving my clients, you can usually find me traveling to my favorite places, eating good food, and shopping!

I got connected with Kay through a friend of mine that is also a doula. I had to go back to work a lot earlier since I am a single mother so needed nanny services. Kay was so amazing and my baby loved (still does lol) her. She also would straighten up my place and made sure things were organized when I got home from work. Kay is definitely heaven sent and I thank her for such a good experience with helping me through this journey of motherhood.

Abigael (Abbie) Loughman

Hello! I'm a certified birth and postpartum doula and childbirth educator in Woodstock GA. I am so passionate about physiological birth. I strive to educate moms about their options and empower them to believe in how amazing their bodies are and all it is capable of. I'm a follower of Christ and bring this with me in my work. I pray for my clients and their journey, I pray for the medical providers to have clarity and bring peace to the birth room, and I pray that the Lord guides me to best support the families I serve. I am passionate about holistic care and herbal remedies to support our hormones. All of my birth packages have a focus in supporting you in your postpartum as well as I feel that is so important.

An Incredibly Positive and Blessed Experience with Abbie! As a first time mom, I cannot speak highly enough about the support and care I received from Abbie. From our very first meeting, it was clear that she was not only knowledgeable and experienced but also deeply compassionate. She took the time to get to know our preferences, answer all of our questions, and make sure we felt comfortable and supported throughout my entire pregnancy journey. She was great with communication and provided us with resources throughout pregnancy for birth prep. When labor came, Abbie was calm, present, and prepared. She gave us reassurance and confidence in our birth plan/decisions throughout, while respecting the space and prioritizing baby's health. She was present throughout all of labor (A LONG TIME) and was able to help me try different positions, offer hands on support and holistic pain relief strategies, prayer, Bible verses, positive affirmations and encouraged me to eat & drink. Her presence made all the difference—I felt empowered and confident knowing she was there advocating for me and my baby. What truly stands out about Abbie is her ability to create a warm, non-judgmental space, no matter what the circumstances, and her shared faith which allowed me to open up and feel comfortable having her at my birth. She was prepared during the labor process and helped my husband and I feel confident. Thanks to her support and expertise, I felt so much more prepared for the challenges of labor and postpartum. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula, and I highly recommend her to anyone. I also want to share that I originally was skeptical of having a doula, but after many prayers I am so grateful we found Abbie and had her support during my unmedicated birth. God is good! Thank you, Abbie, for being such a vital part of our birth story and for helping us bring our baby girl into this world!

Olivia Gooden

I want to introduce myself. My name is Olivia Gooden, CD(DONA)and I am the owner of Another Mother's Touch Doula Services. I became a mother 33 years ago with my first child. I remember being in that delivery room alone. Even though my mom and baby dad was on the outside in the waiting room. I was alone. I felt alone. Things happened so fast. Some of those things are still a blurry to this day. About 27 years ago, I witnessed my first child being born outside of my own two and it was amazing and since then I've witnessed or supported about 12 others and this was before I got my official doula training. It came so natural to coach, encourage, inspire these mothers through and after seeing those miracles being born over and over that I wanted to do this. Back then, at first, there wasn't a name for what I found myself loving to do. Then eventually I heard them calling it a birth coach but there wasn't anyone close by to train and certify me, which I found out as time went on that I didn't have to be certify just to support another mother. If we go back in history there were midwives and other women and mothers supporting the laboring mother but somewhere along time, we got a way from that but I wanted to be that support. As time went on I began to hear the word, Doula. Doula is a geek word that mean " woman's servant." It is also define as a trained companion who is not a healthcare professional and who supports another person through a significant health-related experience, such as childbirth, miscarriage, induced abortion or stillbirth, or non-reproductive experiences such as dying. (I don't support abortion). Types: There are a few types of doulas: birth doulas, postpartum doulas, and antepartum doulas. A birth doula provides assistance to another woman before and during labor and childbirth; a postpartum doula provides assistance to new parents after their baby is born (though some doulas offer both services). Once again there was no one close around me that had ever heard the word, doula. It began as a desire in my heart over 25 years ago. June 2020, during the pandemic I had the opportunity to go through doula training. Even though I don't have to get certified and dont have to have the training, I wanted the benefits that would come along with having both. Not only would I be a blessing to mothers and fathers but I could benefit from what the industry will be in the future. As a mother, it feels good knowing that you have the support of another mother and/or woman by your side along with any other supporting person while you are bringing a precious gift in the world while you are at your vulnerable state. November 14, 2022 i became a certified Birth Dona (CD) through DONA International. Another Mother's Touch is here to support you.One mother supporting another mother. Trained and Certified. Olivia Gooden CD(DONA) Owner of Another Mother's Touch LLC. Doula Services Trained and Certified *CD means Certified Doula

We feel so blessed to have experienced the labor and birth of our son with Olivia. We couldn't have asked for a more kind, loving, calm, strong, skilled and helpful doula, Olivia Gooden. Thank you for being a part of our team and for being such a special person in our lives. You have our deepest gratitude. #The best Doula # God's precious ❤️ # Ezekiel Jett. # 3/28/23

Manda Ryce

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. Those experiences gave me a greater understanding of how important compassionate, intentional, and continuous support truly is during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and motherhood. I believe every mother deserves to feel heard, safe, empowered, and genuinely cared for. As a doula, I provide emotional, physical, and educational support throughout the journey — from pregnancy preparation and labor support to postpartum recovery and adjusting to life with baby. I love helping families feel confident, informed, and never alone during this chapter. My goal is to create a nurturing space where moms feel supported not just during birth, but throughout motherhood as a whole. If you’re looking for a doula who leads with compassion, advocacy, and real connection, I’d love to connect with you!

first-time mom. The doula broke things down in such an easy and caring way. I learned about labor, postpartum, and what to expect emotionally and physically. Thank you for creating content that truly

Alyssa Janjooa

Hey everyone! My name is Alyssa and I am a postpartum doula. My passion with the birth experience came after having my own children, when I was able to truly understand the transformation that unfolds during motherhood. I love taking care of other people and have spent my entire life working with children. I am excited to connect with some families to see if we are a good match!

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Alyssa. From the very beginning, she made me feel prepared, heard, and completely supported. She helped me create my birth plan, went over every detail with me beforehand, and truly took the time to understand the birth I wanted. She stayed on call with me while I labored at home, kept up with my contractions, and came straight to the hospital the moment I called her. She was there through every part of my labor. She helped me with different positions, including the rebozo sifting technique, which was one of my favorites and brought me so much relief. She even brought the rebozo herself, along with a comb to help redirect the pain, snacks, drinks, and headphones in case I needed them. What meant so much to me was how intentional she was about creating a calm, safe space for me to give birth. She dimmed the lights, kept the room peaceful and quiet, and made sure the environment felt exactly how I wanted it to. She also made sure my husband felt included and supported throughout the entire experience, which meant so much to both of us. When I was exhausted and overwhelmed, Alyssa became my voice. She helped me understand what the doctors were asking, advocated for me, and made sure my wishes were respected when I didn’t have the energy to speak for myself. I truly, from the bottom of my heart, don’t think I could have had the dream birth I wanted without her. She gave me comfort, strength, reassurance, and so much love during one of the most intense and beautiful moments of my life. At this point, I swear Alyssa basically delivered my baby herself 😂❤️. I am forever grateful for her and everything she did for me. If you’re considering a doula, I cannot recommend Alyssa enough. She is truly incredible at what she does, and I feel so lucky that she was part of such a special moment in my life. 🤍

Sarah Johnson

Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a mother (of 7), birth photographer, and doula. Birth is something I’ve been deeply drawn to for a long time, both through my own experiences and through witnessing it for other families. Photographing birth felt like a natural beginning, and over time I felt called to offer more hands-on support as well. I show up with a calm, steady presence and thoughtful guidance, with the goal of helping you feel supported, informed, and truly seen as you prepare to welcome your baby.

Birth photography is unlike any other form of photography and Sarah is unlike any other photographer! She was present, but not invasive, supportive but not overbearing, and everything we didn’t know we needed. Having her there allowed my husband to be just as present in the moment with me and now these pictures will be special to both of us, because he didn’t have to be the faceless man on the other side of the camera! Also, when Sarah offers to braid your hair, let her. Can’t recommend her enough!

Brandi Devericks

After dedicating 23 years to being a stay-at-home mom for my three children, I made a significant decision in November 2022 to channel my time and energy into pursuing my passion for becoming a labor and birth doula. Reflecting on my own four deliveries, I realized the immense value a doula could have provided by offering education, empowerment, and encouragement to advocate for myself. I chose the certification program aligned with my goals, completing 27 hours of in-person learning. Throughout 2023, I delved into extensive reading, writing, and research to enhance my knowledge and capabilities, culminating in my first doula experience at the end of the year.

I had my first child with Brandi as my doula and I’m so glad I did. Brandi helped me navigate the hospital and birthing experience in a way that was supportive and unobtrusive. She knew the birth plan that we had designed prior together and helped me create as close to that as possible as things progressed. When I was uncomfortable she had many tools to assist from the big stuff ( walking the halls and pressure release and e-stim during contractions), to the little stuff (chapstick and eye mask!). She was there for the entire birth, never left my side. Postpartum checkups and post birth summary as well. Thank you Brandi!!

Accepts insurance

My love for women’s health started at just 7 years old when I experienced my older sister give birth. Now at 23, I’m experiencing the journey firsthand as a first time mom. Conceiving naturally while navigating PCOS has been an absolute miracle, and it completely solidified my awe and respect for what our bodies can do. That personal experience shapes exactly how I show up as a birthworker. My approach centers on a holistic, body led style, leaning heavily into somatic movement and herbal wisdom (combined with evidence based practices), to help you intuitively flow through labor. My downtime is filled with creative outlets and animal companionship. You can usually find me painting, pole dancing, or relaxing at home with my pets. I have three cats and a dog who keep life cozy! I offer both in person and virtual care, always rooted in an open, judgment free space. Your background, values, and choices guide everything we do, and I would love to walk beside you through this massive life transition.
