Hi! My name is Staci and I have a strong passion for birth work, informed consent, evidence based care, and supporting you in getting the birth you hope for, no matter how that looks. As a certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, CLC, and placenta specialist, you can say I absolutely adore my work and all the families I support. I promise I am judgement free and come with over 12 years of doula experience! I am so honored you're here and I look forward to supporting you as you grow your family. I support families in all birthing locations in the greater Charlotte, LKN, and Catawba areas (40-50 miles from Cornelius, NC) and those who desire unmedicated births all the way to scheduled cesareans. My only intention for you is that you get the birth you desire. That you walk away from your experience empowered and glowing. I'm huge on continuity of care, so I also value showing up for my clients in their postpartum period as a doula, lactation consultant, and friend.

She’s amazing- Hire her! I never planned on having a doula as part of my birthing experience, but I am SO grateful I did. Staci educated and enlightened me along the way, which not only granted for an incredible pregnancy and birth, but postpartum season as well. Her gentle and comforting approach is worth its weight in gold. I know my journey would not have unfolded as it did without her expertise. Thank you, Staci, for such an unforgettable, positive experience. ❤️

I’m currently a ProDoula Certified Labor Doula (CD-L) + A Dona International Certified Doula (CD). I am also a Certified Fertility Doula (CFD), Reproductive Health Specialist (RHS), Postpartum Doula (PPD), Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), and Infant Feeding Specialist (IFS). I know it’s a mouthful but it was all totally worth it. ​ I support unmedicated and medicated births and believe they are both outstandingly beautiful. I also specialize in working with LGBTQ+ families. I am obsessed with multiples as a result of my younger twin siblings, Claire and Cooper. Thankfully, my obsession has led me to experience some amazing twin and triplet births (vaginal and cesarean). I also fully support and love those who birth their babies from their bellies. I now offer planned cesarean support as well! ​ I have been trained in a variety of comfort measure techniques including, rebozo, acupressure, massage, guided meditation, and aromatherapy. I am a certified Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula. Additionally, I have significant experience with clients using other forms of Hypnosis for birth. ​ I have a fierce desire to help clients who struggle with walking a unique fertility path. As the first Fertility Doula in Charlotte, NC, I know just how much support surrounding fertility complications and infertility is needed in our community. I have recently started organizing a collective of doulas committed to offering support to families and individuals undergoing any fertility assistance. Fertility work has led me to find passion in also supporting families with surrogates and those going through surrogacy. ​ Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding, pumping, supplementing, and formula feeding are all journeys that I’m in full support of and have significant experience with as well. Cultivating an environment where you can bond with your baby, no matter how you feed them, is one of my favorite things to curate for clients. ​ I’ve always loved supporting people - the deeply and passionately really truly type of love. There is nothing that has ever compared to feeling like I’m living my purpose. Being a doula isn’t what I am meant to do. Being a doula is what I was born to do.

Hi! I’m Joy, a registered nurse turned doula with a deep passion for family, holistic wellness, and empowering women to make confident, informed choices throughout their birth journeys. My background in nursing gives me a strong foundation in evidence-based care, while my heart is rooted in nurturing, education, and emotional support. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll find me baking something homemade, tending to my garden, or spending time with the three little people I love most. After years in nursing, I felt called to follow my deeper passion: walking alongside women as they bring new life into the world. I believe birth is a natural and sacred experience, one that unfolds best when women are trusted, respected, and supported. My approach blends medical knowledge with a holistic perspective, honoring the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. It’s my greatest joy to help each woman feel seen, cared for, and empowered to make the choices that best serve her family and body. I’d be honored to be part of your story.

My name is Rachel Campbell. I'm a 30-something wife and mama to two crazy kiddos and one dog. I have been immersed in the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum world since 2017 and had two amazing doula-attended births of my own. I decided to take the plunge into doula work in 2021. I completed my CAPPA training in November of 2021 and I'm working toward my official certification. I've seen firsthand what it's like to have long and difficult labors, challenging physical and/or emotional recoveries in the postpartum period, and just about every breastfeeding struggle in the book. It is my hope that the skills I've learned in finding good help and working to identify solutions that aid both Mama AND Baby in equal measure can help other families.

Professionally, I have over five years of experience working in an infant room as a Lead Teacher. During that time, I was responsible for maintaining feeding schedules, diapering, and creating a safe, nurturing environment for infants as young as five weeks old. I often worked independently with 3–5 babies at a time, ensuring each child received personalized care and attention. Parents appreciated the structure and comfort I provided, often requesting weekend care because their babies responded so well to my routine. I followed all daycare regulations carefully and always maintained a professional, warm, and supportive approach—treating families like my own while upholding the highest standards of care. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve cared for newborns and young children in a personal capacity for over 20 years, including family and close friends. This has further deepened my understanding of infant development, comfort cues, and the importance of consistency and communication with caregivers.

I love helping others and am truly passionate about contributing to the greater good with small acts of kindness every day. My heart is in this work. In high school I learned how much I loved working with kids and their families. When I received consistent praise for my abilities, I committed to nannying for a livelihood. Nineteen years and many episodes of "One Born Every Minute," "A Baby Story," and "Maternity Ward" later, I am pursuing something that has been on my mind since childhood. Through my own therapeutic work and reproductive journey, I knew I had much more to offer than just childcare. I have always been fascinated by the human body and its capabilities during conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Newborn and child development have always been at the forefront of my mind and something I love witnessing as a nanny and aunt. I have been a lifelong learner in these topics. I also love encouraging birthing folx to be empowered and confident in their choices and experiences instead of feeling embarrassment, shame, inferiority, or fear. So, here I am: mindful, present, and full of hope for the futures of new families and children everywhere. Here’s to lifelong learning and growing together to create a kinder, more compassionate, and inclusive world. ​

I also provide doula support, including pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am a Hypnobirthing® childbirth educator and have new classes starting monthly. The beauty of providing these services is that I can help you in one area or in many. I can see you or your family for nutritional guidance. I can see you for pregnancy and birth support, as a doula. Or we can combine these services. The possibilities are endless.

I am a doula, IBCLC, and student midwife. I believe in physiological birth and breastfeeding. I think all women deserve support prenatally, during birth, and breastfeeding.

Recent review

I had an amazing experience working with Tesia as my doula for our fourth baby. We had a homebirth and Tesia helped make it a smooth and positive experience. I looked forward to our visits and she was so easy to talk to and always made me feel at peace about my birth plan. She is very knowledgeable about physiological birth and a wealth of knowledge! Highly recommend adding Tesia to your birth team!

Hello! I’m Samantha. I’ve been in business for 10 years and in that time have photographed several hundred newborns and countless families, babies and bellies. And as a mama to 7, you can find comfort in knowing that I have plenty of patience and experience wrangling kiddos! I want my images to tug at your heart. I want to create timeless portraits that warm your soul in difficult moments. I want to capture the wonderful moments that we all seem to take for granted and have difficulty remembering. The tiny toes and flaky skin on your brand new baby, the sweet (or sometimes not so sweet!) bond and interaction between siblings, the expression on a fathers face the first time he holds his new child. I want to give you the ability to be able to relive those moments over and over again. I want to provide you images that you want to fill your home with, and pass on for generations. This is your life. I’m just here to make sure you never forget how amazing it is.

After a beautiful and empowering first birth, although it didn't go according to my original vision, a fire was lit to come alongside families in their own birth journeys. As a doula, I will support you whether you choose a home birth, a planned cesarean, or anything in between. My goal is that you know your options, are supported in them, and are surrounded by feelings of safety and love. I have worked in a variety of capacities before arriving in the birth world. I studied Exercise Science in college, where I learned the amazing things our bodies are capable of when we treat them properly or move them in certain ways. I've worked as an exercise physiologist in cardiac rehab, and as a wellness coach in a hospital setting. I was in full-time ministry, working with college students and teenagers. In that capacity, I learned to meet people where they're at, to comfort and to “hold space” for someone. These experiences brought me to a new understanding of wholeness - body, mind and spirit. This set me up perfectly to team up alongside women in their birth journeys - one of the most life-changing events we can experience!

Jawanna Gaines

My name is Jawanna Gaines, and I walk with women and families across the thresholds of birth, postpartum, womb healing, and, when needed, loss. My own journey — through womb surgeries, healing, and the calling into doula work — attuned me to the deep wisdom of the body and the sacred nature of life’s passages. I believe birth, like death, is not only a physical event but also a spiritual initiation — one that deserves to be witnessed, honored, and held with reverence. My philosophy is rooted in presence, intentionality, and ceremony. I am here not to direct your path, but to hold steady light as you cross your own, offering care that is gentle, grounded, and deeply human.
