Lovely to meet you! I am Alexandra. I wear many hats. I am a mother of 3 and a Foster Parent of almost 10 years, DONA-International Certified Full Spectrum Doula, Perinatal Mental Health Advocate, Mental Health Therapist, Social Worker, and a certified Child Birth Educator. I began my journey as a mental health advocate in 2013 which expanded my love for birth and postpartum health landing me here today. As the pandemic restructured our lives, I found myself opening a childcare center, which has recently celebrated 5 years of serving the community. Over the years, I have gained insight and knowledge into brain development, relationship attachments, trauma healing though holistic therapies and interventions, and intentional self-centered love. My purpose is to provide trauma informed, culturally respected, holistic support for mothers and families at every stage of their journey, helping them feel rooted in their inner strength and rise in their purpose.

Welcome to The Green Doula I’m Lyndi Greene, and I am dedicated to supporting mothers through the transformative journey of childbirth. With personal experience in both birthing centers and home births, I understand the critical importance of having the right support during this pivotal time. As a mother of three—ages 6, 4, and 2—I combine personal insight with professional expertise in my role as a birth doula. My mission is to be your trusted advocate, a compassionate guide, and a steadfast support throughout your birthing experience. I am very proud of my breastfeeding journey. Each baby I breastfed for 22months each. I am committed to empowering families by providing informed choices, compassionate care, and unwavering support, ensuring a positive and transformative birth experience for you and your baby.

I'm so happy to offer my DOULA services to Families. Along with Newborn Care services, these moments are remarkable to be apart of. Having patience make you attentive to Mom and Baby's needs. Pregnancy Loss is also an area where I have expertise and promise to be gracious with Mommy emotions.

“There is a power that comes to women when they give birth. They don’t ask for it, it simply invades them. Accumulates like clouds on the horizon and passes through, carrying the child with it.” — Sheryl Feldman Hey, y’all! My name is Jade! I’m married to my best friend and together we have two of the sweetest little nuggets. I’m a homesteader, home baker, and stay at home mama when I’m not doing birth-y things. I am a ProDoula Certified Labor Doula. Just before my youngest’s first birthday, I had the opportunity to attend my first doula workshop and I immediately jumped headfirst into the doula life after years of yearning to experience doula work. I’ve been able to support dozens of families thus far on my journey to better birth experiences & it’s an absolute honor to be included in such a sacred and life changing moment, every single time. I’m beyond thrilled to be immersed in this work and helping families use their voices (even if they shake) to advocate for what’s right for them, birth the way they choose, and help smooth the transition into parenthood along the way.
