Ronessia Patmon

13 years of experience

Hello, I am Ronessia Patmon, the founder and lead doula at 12Tribes Doula Services. With a passion for supporting families through the transformative journey of childbirth, I have dedicated the past five years to providing compassionate care, guidance, and advocacy to expectant mothers and their partners. At 12Tribes Doula Services, we believe in the power of holistic and personalized support during the childbirth experience. Our mission is to empower families to make informed decisions, feel confident in their choices, and navigate the beautiful complexities of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with grace and strength. As a doula with a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of childbirth, I am committed to creating a nurturing and empowering environment for each family I work with. Through continuous education, unwavering support, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact, I strive to ensure that every birthing person feels seen, heard, and cared for throughout their journey to parenthood. I am honored to walk alongside families during this sacred time in their lives, and I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your own unique path to parenthood. Thank you for considering 12Tribes Doula Services as a partner in your birth journey.

As a first time mom, I knew I wanted to have a natural birth without an epidural. Since this was my first pregnancy, my husband suggested we work with a doula. Being fairly new to Georgia, we didn’t know where to start. But thankfully, a close friend of mine who is a nurse highly recommended Mrs. Patmon. I am so grateful she did. Mrs. Patmon is incredibly patient, passionate, and knowledgeable about what she does. She comes from a strong background in doula care and offers a holistic approach, always respecting her clients preferences. She made herself available to me at any time day or night which gave me so much peace of mind throughout my pregnancy. She helped me create a detailed birth plan and supported me every step of the way in carrying it out. During my third trimester, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and she guided me through it as best as possible. She also offers teas, oils, massages, exercises, stretches, and so many helpful techniques to prepare my body for a natural labor. When I went into labor, Mrs. Patmon showed up fully prepared and ready to support me. She made sure my medical team had my birth plan and advocated for my wishes throughout the process. During contractions, she provided hands on support with massages and used special oils that helped intensify my contractions and progress labor more quickly than I expected. I arrived at 4 cm dilated, 70% effaced, and -2 station and in less than four hours, I was pushing. My experience with Mrs. Patmon was nothing short of amazing. She played such a vital role in making my first labor and delivery a positive and empowering experience. If you’re looking for a doula, look no further Mrs. Patmon is the one you want by your side. A message for Mrs. Patmon… I truly don’t think I could have made it through labor and delivery the way I did without your guidance, wisdom, and steady support. Thank you for advocating for me, making sure the medical staff honored my birth plan as best as we could, and for ensuring the safety of both me and babygirl. You’ve been such a blessing in our lives, and we’re so incredibly thankful for you.

Christie Williams

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. If you have questions or want to connect, reach out! Blessings! Christie

My husband and I could not have imagined someone better to walk along side us through the birth process, especially for our first child. Christy is deeply knowledgable and an incredible leader. Me nor my husband had any issues getting questions or concerns answered with a vast amount of information, care, and prayer. Throughout my pregnancy, she gave me the knowledge and instilled the confidence to trust my body that it would do what it is created to do. If we have more children, Christy is certainly the person we will be calling! I had a precipitous birth, which Christy handled masterfully. We had a beautiful birth plan drawn up and everyone knew their roles. However, when push came to shove (no pun intended) Christy was able to quickly, professionally, and compassionately help us throw our plans to the side and was a wonderful advocate for me in the hospital when I was unable to advocate for myself. Though it was quick, because of Christy, I knew exactly what was happening through each stage of labor which kept me from being fearful. She was the thread of calm in the chaos of such a fast labor and made what could have been a rather traumatic experience a beautiful one.

Megan LeCounte

As a dedicated and nurturing birth doula, I am committed to providing unwavering support and compassionate care to expectant families throughout their birthing journey. With a deep understanding of the emotional and physical needs that arise during childbirth, I strive to create a calming and empowering environment for all my clients. My approach is centered on personalized care, ensuring that each family feels heard, respected, and comfortable. I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to every birth, offering guidance, comfort, and reassurance. Whether it's through physical support, emotional encouragement, or providing valuable information, my goal is to help families have a positive and memorable birth experience. I am passionate about being a reliable partner in this transformative time, and I would be honored to be a part of such a significant moment in your life. I attended a training by a licensed DONA international instructor. The doula training was very extensive, informational, and hands-on. With it being so hands-on and there being many activities that we have done, I feel greatly prepared to attend any births that my clients may want me to attend. I feel fully confident in my ability to provide not only emotional support but physical and spiritual support. Allowing families to achieve their dream birth is my goal, in addition to accommodating to their needs while they are in the process of delivering a new miracle!

Megan has been such an incredible support through this journey. She’s calm, caring, and always knows exactly what to say or do when things feel overwhelming. Her presence brought so much peace and reassurance, and she made sure I felt seen, heard, and taken care of every step of the way. She was especially amazing during my postpartum period checking in regularly, answering every little question without judgment, and genuinely caring about how I was doing both physically and emotionally. Having her guidance and support made that transition so much easier. If you want someone who truly shows up for you and makes you feel supported through it all, Megan is absolutely the right choice.

Alyssa Janjooa

Hey everyone! My name is Alyssa and I am a postpartum doula in training. My passion with the birth experience came after having my own children, when I was able to truly understand the severity of receiving nurturing and healing care as a new mother... Our society today does not have the structure for a "village" the way I think we are intended to have - so here I am building one for the women in my life. We deserve care and dedication after the mind-blowing experience of bringing new life into the world. Thank you for considering me.

Alyssa was my postpartum doula for my first two children and my birth doula for my third, and I truly can’t imagine those experiences without her. After my first two births, she provided so much more than practical help. She was a constant source of emotional support. She cooked meals, helped me through breastfeeding struggles, and when I ultimately chose to formula feed, she never made me feel judged. Instead, she gave me the confidence to trust my decision and reminded me that a well supported mom is what matters most. For my third birth, Alyssa was by my side during my C-section. After two previous emergency C-sections, having her there made all the difference. She made sure I understood what was happening, helped me feel informed and safe, and brought such a calm, reassuring presence. Knowing I had someone completely in my corner, supporting my choices without judgment while providing compassionate guidance, made the entire experience so much smoother. I will always be grateful for the care, knowledge, and kindness Alyssa gave my family. She is an incredible doula, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

My journey began in 2014, after watching the documentary, The Business of Being Born. I was shocked at how medical and sterile birth had become and how unfairly some pregnant people are treated. From there, I spent the next three years devouring anything and everything related to birth. I attended my first birth as a doula (unknowingly) in 2017 when my goddaughter was born, and I fell in love with doula work. I married my husband in late 2017, and in early 2019 I found out I was pregnant with my first child. My pregnancy was one of the most enjoyable times of my life. I gave birth vaginally in a hospital transfer from Atlanta Birth Center, to Atlanta Medical Center in November 2019. I have my birth team to thank for solidifying my passion for other people to have the experience I was blessed with. I believe information is our greatest tool. I will provide you with evidence-based information from a holistic standpoint. Outside of being a doula, I love to travel. I enjoy visiting new and familiar places with my family. I love cooking, reading, and listening to crime podcasts. I never turn down a taco or a glass of champagne.

The many hats I have worn as wife, mother, friend, sister, trainer and teacher has well prepared me to step into the role of doula. My desire and passion is found in serving others. Helping women and their partners to take this journey in excitement, without anxiety, throwing out any misconceptions surrounding birth, womanhood, motherhood and marriage! Birth is beautiful, motherhood is beautiful, marriage is beautiful, womanhood is beautiful! All of these realities intersect during childbirth and create an uplifting and sweet experience. Each pregnancy is different as well as each person, so no two births will be the same. Each path taken is a beautiful one for the taker. I want to help you embrace it and freely give in to it!

I am passionate about empowering birthing families to actively prepare for childbirth. Through my own experiences, I felt that there was a gap in labor support between healthcare professionals and labor partners. Many birthing people I have interacted with describe fear and apprehension as they approached their labor. Even more tragically, many birthing families have expressed disappointment or even trauma from a birth experience that felt poorly communicated, emergent, and out of their control. Part of my mandate is to know the limitations of the healthcare system and to educate families to advocate for their own birth using current and evidence-based information. Not knowing what you do not know can lead to overwhelming decisions and out-of-control situations. I also provide experienced, trained hands-on support during the labor to create a consistent, personalized, and safe environment which can decrease the need for medical interventions and increase overall birth satisfaction.
