Hi there! My name is Mannah (pronounced like Hannah but with an M) and I'm a Christian certified birth doula located in Ball Ground, Georgia. It is such an honor to help moms feel informed and equipped to take responsibility for their birth so that they can have a positive experience and look back on their birth with zero regrets, knowing that they made the best decisions for themselves and their babies every step of the way and entering parenthood with confidence and joy. In my free time, I love to knit, read, and spend time outdoors with my husband and children.

Mannah is kind, comforting, and knowledgeable. She was able to prepare my husband and myself with good practices before labor and guided us with those through active labor as well.

oula work has always felt familiar to me—like something I was born to do. Even as a little girl, I felt deeply connected to the experience of birth and the sacred role of nurturing women through it. This work is more than a job—it’s my passion, my calling, and where my deepest love resides. At SoulexTheDoula, I am committed to serving all birthing people. I hold space for incarcerated mothers, trans dads with reproductive systems, and anyone bringing life into the world. Every soul deserves compassionate, dignified, and affirming care—and I’m honored to walk alongside them in their journey.”

Soulex the Doula has been incredible in mine and my child’s life. I wanted to leave a shining review but struggled even capturing the positive impact of my time with Soulex the Doula, in words. I really hope I do justice to what this time meant to me. Alexus post-partum doula support was life altering in the most vulnerable time I’ve ever experienced. I’ve had 2 children and only worked with Lex with my first born. Let me just say, her energy was deeply missed the second time around. I live in a different state now but at the time, Lex did SO MUCH. She helped with nursing, even in the middle of the night for my exclusively breast fed baby, she would stay over to make sure I had the most restful night I could. The baby would wake, and Lex would wake pick her up and latch her to my nipple while I rest, leaving me virtually undisturbed. Lex changed night diapers, and would rock my daughter back to sleep while I slept. During the day visits, Lex would take care of baby while I got time for ME. I could shower, get ready, and feel beautiful in such a strange time. Lex gave me support with getting back in connection with my body through movement with dance and stretching practices. I would have NEVER known this was meaningful work, otherwise. Lex also gave a lot of spiritual guidance and support as a medium while I was personally going through the shifts from new motherhood. She would clean my home, help me organize, or rearrange on a whim. It was nothing short of magical, and genuinely felt like I had a little fairy god mother around the house doing things without me even having to think about it - let alone lift a finger. The bond I watched her grow with my daughter at 4 months old was incredibly special. And now, as a 7 year old, they still stay in touch. We love you, Lex and you really feel like a part of the family for life. Thank you for you’re love, your care, your intention, your intuition, and your raw passion for what you do. From the bottom of my heart, Qui.

Nia Dariso

Greetings! My name is Nia Ashay Dariso and I'm a trained full-spectrum doula. Located in the metro Atlanta area, my passion for serving babies and their families began as a child. With a natural knack for supporting others, it is an honor to be on this path! As a full spectrum doula, I believe that every birthing person: - Is equipped with all that they need in order to succeed - Deserves additional access to the help they need - Deserves access to a safe birthing environment - Deserves and needs community - Deserves to be supported and nurtured (including, as applicable, their partner) When I'm not in the birth work world, I enjoy being in nature, practicing yoga, and indulging in delicious meals.

From the beginning to the very end, Nia had been with us every step of the way. From teaching me massaging techniques to help my wife to keeping us well informed when we had questions, Nia is the epitome of professionalism. She was very patient, kind and caring to my wife throughout the whole birthing process and even checks on us till this day, if anyone is in need of a Doula, Nia Dariso is the lady for the job!

Lauren Swanson

3 years of experience

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!

Karena Jackson

Karena Jackson is a compassionate and dedicated birth doula who has been serving growing families since August 2020. Trained through DONA International, Karena brings a calm, knowledgeable presence to every birth she supports, blending evidence-based care with heartfelt encouragement. In addition to her work as a doula, Karena became a certified childbirth educator, empowering parents with the tools and confidence they need to approach birth with clarity and strength. Since 2023, she has expanded her impact in maternal health as a Perinatal Patient Navigator, guiding individuals and families through the complexities of prenatal and postpartum care with empathy and expertise. Karena is deeply committed to creating inclusive, supportive spaces where every birthing person feels heard, valued, and well-informed throughout their journey.

I feel so lucky to have found Karena to be my doula. I am new to Georgia and knew I wanted a doula to navigate the health system here (which does not have the greatest reputation when it comes to maternal health outcomes). I spoke with several doulas but Karena was the only one I immediately felt comfortable with. She is highly organized, efficient, responsive, and very calm (important for a high-stress person such as myself)! We had several meetings before my due date, including a session where she taught both my husband and I comfort techniques to use during delivery. This was SO essential because my labor ended up being very rapid (with no time for an epidural) and my husband and I relied on all the techniques that Karena showed us to minimize my pain. Karena was able to join for delivery and was such a calming presence. I am very grateful that I found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for support before, during, and after delivery. I will definitely be reaching out to her again if we have another child.

Hi, I’m Sheryl, founder of Dreams Delivered Birthing Services and a certified full-spectrum doula with a nursing background. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with calm, compassionate, and evidence-based care. My approach honors the natural physiology of birth while also recognizing when medical support is appropriate.

Chawnie Baker

21 years of experience

“No matter how you choose to birth, I believe in the power of informed choice and support for making informed decisions about your care. I also recognize that every family and birth is unique, and I take pride in my dedication to customized support when holding space for a positive and empowering birth experience.” I’m Chawnie—a dedicated wife, twin mom, and DONA‑trained birth and postpartum doula with a deep passion for empowering families. My journey began while earning a biology degree at the University of West Georgia, which sparked my love for informed care. Since then, I’ve continued my education with intentional birth coaching, prenatal & postpartum yoga, and Pilates certifications—plus extensive training in breastfeeding support. As a twin mom myself, I intimately understand the unique needs of families expecting multiples—and I combine that lived experience with a commitment to evidence-based support. I’ve supported births of all kinds—natural, medicated, hospital, home, VBAC, and c-section—with a proud emphasis on honoring whatever birth path you choose. My approach is rooted in education, advocacy, and unshakeable calm. I aim to equip partners with practical tools, guide birthers through decisions with clarity, and ensure every voice in the room is heard. It’s an honor to usher families through such a sacred transition, fostering confidence, ease, and support from pregnancy through postpartum—and beyond.

Chawnie was the best doula our family could’ve asked for. Prior to and during the birth, she always helped us be as informed as possible. She also never pressured us into a single way of doing things, but acted as a guide for us to make the best decisions for me and my baby. Since my child was born, she’s remained a loving person I consider a part of our extended family and I would recommend her to anyone pregnant looking for a doula.

Brittany Kochar

Hi! I’ve been a birth doula and birth photographer for five years, in which time I’ve had the honor of supporting many families looking to experience birth in all different ways. The key foundations of my practice are education, learning about informed consent, and making sure you AND your support people feel ready and empowered walking into your birth journey. Besides being a mama of two myself, my greatest passion is supporting and documenting families through their birth journeys.

Brittany did my birth and breast-feeding photography. Those photos are so special and magical to me. Throughout my pregnancy Brittany was so easy to communicate with, she checked in regularly, and offered words of support. My birth photos are incredible. She captured the rawness and intimacy of my homebirth experience, the tenderness and connection with the baby and my older daughter, and the connection between my husband and I. Brittany also did our breast-feeding shoot. I’m so happy I have those photos as this is my last baby, and those photos are such a beautiful reminder of a breast-feeding journey. I would highly recommend Brittany to anybody looking for a birth, breast-feeding or family photographer!

Leslie Owens

14 years of experience

Hello, my name is Leslie and I am an RN, IBCLC based in the West GA and Atlanta area. I own and operates Mother Nurture Maternity, a private lactation practice where I provides breastfeeding education and support from the prenatal period all the way through weaning! I have supported pregnant and postpartum families for over 12 years in the perinatal space and my passion for birth and lactation began with my own personal experiences, birthing and breastfeeding three children, including twins. I committed to providing accessible, skilled, and compassionate breastfeeding and perinatal services. It is a great honor and privilege to provide customized support as an advocate, facilitator, and clinician in GA and beyond. Both in person and virtual support available and I accept many insurance plans.

Leslie is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to us! I couldn't, or didn't have the same support with my first, as I did with Leslie. She found out daughter had oral ties, when other doctors said she didn't. Leslie came to our home many times, video appointments, and endless texts. It has been 2 years and still going strong. I cannot say enough good things about Leslie. I do wish we had her for our first!

Shanicqua Meyers

I have always been passionate about helping those expecting and their loved ones learn how to advocate for their needs. I am currently in my Doula Certification program, but have helped families for many years. Through my travels and lived experiences in and out of the U.S, I bring knowledge and wisdom from many cultures, including my own Caribbean heritage. My goal is to teach those who are expecting how to listen to their bodies, take care of their needs inside and out, and have the type of birth that they have always imagined. I also support families through changes that may occur during labor and delivery by assisting in creating flexible birth plans. In case of postpartum and bereavement, I provide care, sensitivity, and tools focused on grieving. I am here to support you and cheer you on as an advocate and loving birth assistant.

We are beyond grateful for the support and care we received from Mrs. Shanicqua. Throughout our pregnancy and postpartum journey. From the very beginning, she provided incredible insight on nutrition, breastfeeding, and what to realistically expect during both pregnancy and postpartum. Her knowledge gave us confidence, but more importantly, her presence gave us peace. She has a true gift for supporting families — not just with information, but with compassion. During postpartum, when emotions can feel overwhelming, she was a steady voice of reassurance and encouragement. She helped us navigate those feelings in a healthy way and has always made herself available when we needed guidance. Beyond being an amazing doula, she has also been such a supportive and genuine friend to us in this process. Her care never felt transactional — it felt personal, intentional, and deeply invested in our well-being as a growing family. We truly couldn’t imagine this journey without her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and heartfelt doula support.

I believe birth gives us the opportunity to become who we're designed to be. I am honored to be a part of a woman's initiation into motherhood and womanhood. I look forward to connecting with you!

Cory Atkins became my Doula during my sixth month of pregnancy. Before connecting with her, I was not going to use the service for my homebirth as I was not sold on the benefit after meeting with doulas in the Atlanta area and coming up unsuccessful due to feeling like a number for materialistic gain. After connecting and consulting with Cory, she completely changed that for me. I truly felt like my spirit was waiting for her. She is extremely intuitive, passionate about connecting with the clients she takes on and exudes a natural maternal power through knowledge and touch that blew me away. Her energy is very calming and welcoming, just like an old friend. After our initial consultation, she jumped right in and missed not one beat. I was able to open up to her easily and dig through layers of the emotional aspects of pregnancy that I was silently dealing with and go through my thoughts around having my first child naturally at home with all that is happening in the world . Cory was the complete package for me. She is very aware of energy and will not hesitate to remain flexible by checking in when she feels the need, scheduling extra sessions or even going virtual. As I reached the end of this pregnancy, her services shifted to comfort management, where she also educated my partner, and prepared my mind for the labor process. She is truly a gem of extreme benefit to anything that she is a part of and I am so grateful for the value she adds to my journey daily. Passion Burcy, First time mom

I understand what it feels like to have doubts and not have the right tools to face the unknown. This is why I started Finding Your Village and began interviewing experts in my podcast, whose service and advice can be great additions to a parent's village. Inspired by my own two birth experiences, one with pain medication and one without, I trained to become a Birthing From Within Mentor to guide parents to prepare for the challenges and victories they will encounter with their birth experience. I am committed to helping you become a birth warrior and be equipped for your birth and postpartum journey, so you can stop feeling stuck in the fear of the unknown and avoid suffering during birth and postpartum.

On my third pregnancy, I finally knew enough about pregnancy and labor to know I didn't really know much at all! I finally decided it was time to actually prepare for labor this time around and along came Amanda. Amanda guided my husband and I through our most recent pregnancy & taught us so much. I knew I wanted a natural delivery and she supported that desire and gave me tips and tricks to accomplish it (also gave my husband helpful tips that was such a game changer in the delivery room). Well, 8 weeks ago we had our 3rd child and I was able to deliver him natually and have the birth I was hoping for. I wish I would have realized how invaluable it is to prepare for such a momentous moment sooner. Thank you, Amanda! You were the missing piece I did not know I needed for a confident and empowered birth.

Earlier in my life, I was an ER charge nurse in AL. After moving to GA, I worked in several critical care aspects of the hospital system. After facing health issues as a family in 2014, I left the more "western" mindset of medicine and began teaching classes on nutrition, emotional health, and holistic medicine. After taking childbirth classes and having 4 natural births myself, I developed a passion for birth and desire to protect the sacred physical and emotional aspects of it. I am completing a doula certification with DONA this fall as well as teaching childbirth education classes in the Acworth, Kennesaw, Dallas areas. You can find more information on that on the www.bradleybirth.com site. I've got more about me and what I offer on my website www.myabundantbirth.com.
