About me
My name is Gianna Alston, and I am a DONA trained professional birth doula born and raised right here in the Triangle! I proudly offer independent birth doula services in addition to serving my community as a volunteer birth doula with Best Baby Wake. I approach every journey with warmth, respect, an open mind and open arms. My role is to create a calm and supportive space that allows you to become comfortable trusting yourself, your instinct and your body. All while making sure you feel informed, supported, heard and empowered to make the decisions YOU feel are best for you and your growing family. With a background in CNA and certifications in CPR and First Aid for adult and pediatric care, I remain calm and grounded if plans shift unexpectedly. I thoughtfully search for and support alternatives while supporting your birth preferences, helping you create harmony between the medical environment and your personal birth vision. I also am a certified safe sleep ambassador, allowing me to continue to support families with evidence-based education as you transition into life with your newborn(s).
