Welcome to Grow in Grace Doula Care! I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a wife, new boy mom, and pediatric registered nurse based in Queen Creek, Arizona. With three years of pediatric nursing experience, I have always had a special love for taking care of little ones. My true passion lies in supporting new moms and babies, which is why I fell in love with postpartum doula care after the birth of my son. Having been supported by both labor and postpartum doulas during my birth and recovery, I can honestly say my experience would have been vastly different without their care. I believe birth and postpartum are natural and beautiful events in which every woman should feel empowered and protected. That's why my goal is to provide loving, non-judgmental care to all expecting parents, helping them experience the grace and joy that comes with their new baby! At home, I enjoy a full and joyful life with my husband, son, two dogs, and our rabbit. Outside of my doula work, my perfect day includes reading my Bible while sipping on an iced coffee or matcha, spending time outside in the sun and grass, hanging out with my family, and podcasting!

I am a faith-based, holistic doula serving Phoenix, AZ and the surrounding areas. I would love the opportunity to connect and would be honored to be chosen to support you during your birth. Update- I am expecting my third child in late November/early December. I will be on maternity leave starting in November 2024 so will not be taking clients with guess dates that month or later. My return from maternity leave is still TBD, but will be after March of 2025.

My name is MaKaila and I am 25 years old and I graduated from GCU April 2022 with a major in Exercise Science with an emphasis in sports performance. I am currently back in online school working on my pre-requisites to apply for nursing school next year. I worked part-time as a nanny while in school to a family my first year and a half of babysitting. I started when their daughter was 1.5 years and their son was 1-month-old. I finished when their son was 1.5 year and their daughter was 3. I have been working with the Busy Bee Babysitting company since September 2020. With that company I have worked with children of all ages. From as little as 1-month-old to as old as 11 years old. I have watched as many as 7 children at one time by myself. I just finished working as a night nanny for a precious 10 week old! Currently I help out with a family in the mornings for a few hours with their 3 year old and 1 month old. I assist the mom with morning feedings, diaper changes, getting the toddler off to school and hanging out with baby afterwards. Along with babysitting I also can help with school drop-off/pick-up, homework help, practice drop offs, weekend outings, and things around the house. I hope to be meeting you soon!

I (she/her) worked for several years in the field of community mental health before relocating to the Pacfic NW for medical school. I am a graduate of Bastyr University and completed a 2-year post-graduate training program in integrative women’s health. I am credentialed by NAMS as a certified menopause practitioner, ABORM as a fellow of oriental reproductive medicine, and PSI in perinatal mood & anxiety disorders as a prescriber: the only physician to have this combination of education & training. In fact, I am the only naturopathic physician in the state of AZ to be certified as a women’s health specialist. I have been in clinical practice since 2003 with a special focus on women’s health; emphasizing nutrition and exercise in health maintenance and disease prevention and treatment. I am committed to the mental and physical health of women of all ages and I believe that our goal for health & wellness is a matter of progress, not perfection. Education and empowerment can help us take a proactive, preventive approach to the treatment of any condition.

I’m here to make you feel empowered, supported, and heard through your journey of birth and postpartum. This is my mission due to my birth and postpartum experiences. I had a traumatic first birth that ended in an emergency c-section. Postpartum Recovery was even more difficult without the support I truly needed. When I was ready to try for a second baby, I miscarried. It took a lot out of me, to get the answers I needed to explain why I miscarried and to find a provider who was going to be safe for me. I knew I wanted a doula and the right birth team that would support me through a VBAC. My team heard me and created space for me to achieve a dream birth!

I am a physical therapist and mother to an energetic toddler. My passion is to help other women heal as well as help my patients find balance creating achievable health and fitness goals. I specifically love working with the parental and post partum populations, helping to guide women through this amazing but often overwhelming and challenging time of their life. I strive to give my patients the tools to empower and educate theirselves, and rock the transition from pregnancy to motherhood!

As a mom myself, I understand how imperative it is to have emotional support throughout the journey of motherhood, from adoption or pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. I remember the early days of bonding with my children, while also feeling overwhelmed with loneliness and guilt about making the right decisions as a parent. With appropriate support, I was able to create a space to be present with my children, while also taking care of myself to find peace, clarity and purpose. Regardless of the age of our children, we never stop being a mother. My personal journey and professional education have led me to my work with mothers and their families. I am passionate about helping mothers to reach their full potential and learn to trust their own voice and decisions. I am also an active member of Postpartum Support International and have received a certificate in Maternal Mental Health. My couples therapy training in The Gottman Method is beneficial in helping partners find new ways of connection and intimacy throughout this transition. You don’t have to go through this alone, I am here to help you achieve emotional health and wellness and to lead with confidence in this experience of parenthood.

Hello, I am Taylor Huskey, I have been a DONA trained doula since 2014, after I had my own second home birth. I truly believe birth to be an empowering and beautiful experience that helps cement the bond between baby and momma. I use many different techniques that are individualized per client according to particular needs, I am familiar with the most common types of birthing coaching on the market and use pieces from many to accomplish the joyful birth individually desired. I am a safe, judgement free, woman empowering person. I completed 2 years of nursing school as well and work very well in hospital setting with Drs and Nurses as well as bring my medical knowledge to the table. I am highly trained in postpartum care, and postpartum depression. I am also a huge advocate for breastfeeding and have attended many breastfeeding courses and trainings. I have taught childbirth classes and natural family planning, and would be happy to offer those services as part of my package.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I believe people are resilient and can heal. I help people move past challenging times. My specialty is trauma and I am trained in 𝙀𝙈𝘿𝙍 (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). I often see clients with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, postpartum depression, and athletes. In time, the goal of therapy is for you to no longer need therapy. That means that you will have achieved your goals and are being the ideal version of yourself.

Meet Arizona licensed midwife Giuliana Pica, the passionate force behind Empowered Goddess Birth. She launched this inspiring venture in 2020, initially as a doula and childbirth education business, all while dreaming of evolving it into a vibrant home birth midwifery practice. In February 2021, Giuliana dove headfirst into her midwifery apprenticeship at a local birth center. There, she immersed herself in the art of midwifery, attending both birth center and home births, while learning from an accomplished array of preceptors—including licensed midwives, certified nurse midwives, and a community-based obstetrician. Fast forward to 2024, Giuliana proudly completed her training and passed both her national certification exam, and state licensing test, officially transforming Empowered Goddess Birth into her dream home birth midwifery practice. Giuliana maintains both CPR and NRP certifications, has attended a breech training workshop hosted by Breech Without Borders, completed a shoulder dystocia training course through Spinning Babies, and has attended 3 midwifery skills workshops hosted by the Midwifery Wisdom Collective. She is passionate about and committed to expanding her knowledge base. In the spring of 2024 she also welcomed earthside her first child, Odin. His home waterbirth was a deeply spiritual and soul nourishing experience. Since then, she’s been savoring every magical moment of motherhood alongside her partner Nicholas, as they embark on this beautiful adventure together. Giuliana believes deeply in the importance of intuitive, empowered healthcare, and is dedicated to supporting women and their families in their unique and transformative journeys, all while bringing a bit of magic and her own intuition to each experience.

Hello....My name is Kelly Sunshine and I have been a birth doula for over 12 years supporting more than 1150 births in the Phoenix Metro area. I work with clients delivering in any hospital, birth center or home environment. In the hospital setting I work well with health care providers and feel that I walk that fine line between respecting the hospital staff and their regulations and yet still help my mamas have the birth of their dreams. With a little hard work, patience and showing respect we can achieve the birth you desire....while still in a hospital setting! I have wonderful recommendations for both OB providers, midwifes and natural friendly hospitals in the valley. I also work with many of the local home birth midwifes and know that having a doula even in a home birth setting is so valuable. Please reach out to see if myself or one of the other doulas on our team are a good fit for you!

I’m a single mother navigating the rewarding and challenging journey of raising an adventurous young boy. My life is a blend of nurturing a curious and growing child while indulging in my passions and interests. For many years, I’ve been deeply immersed in the food industry, managing a beloved family-owned Mexican restaurant that was started by my grandparents in 1964. This restaurant has been a cornerstone of our family and community, and my work there has not only shaped my professional life but also my personal identity. Running the restaurant has been a labor of love, connecting me to my heritage and allowing me to share our family’s culinary traditions with others. Cooking remains a significant part of my life, whether it's preparing meals at home or experimenting with new recipes. I find joy in exploring new culinary experiences and discovering new flavors, both in my own kitchen and through dining out at different restaurants. Traveling to foreign countries is another passion of mine, as it offers a chance to immerse myself in different cultures, gain fresh perspectives, and experience the world from new angles. Nature is my sanctuary, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether I’m hiking through scenic trails or simply enjoying the outdoors, I cherish the connection with nature and the tranquility it brings. My Philosophy Central to my philosophy is the belief that no woman is ever truly alone in her journey. As a mother and a professional, I embrace the idea that support, solidarity, and shared experiences among women are powerful forces that uplift and strengthen us. Whether through the bonds we forge in our personal lives or the communities we build in our professional endeavors, the connections we make are vital. I am committed to fostering these connections and drawing strength from the collective wisdom and support of the women around me. In addition to my work in the food industry, I am a certified prenatal doula. These roles allow me to provide comprehensive support to families during one of the most transformative times in their lives. My certifications reflect my dedication to helping others navigate their birthing journeys with confidence and care. Balancing motherhood with my professional and personal interests, I strive to create a fulfilling and vibrant life for both myself and my son. My experiences in the food industry, coupled with my passion for travel, nature, and my work as a doula , shape a life filled with creativity, exploration, and deep familial bonds.

Hi! My name is Racquelle Adkisson. I am a birth and Bereavement doula, supporting all families in all outcomes. I'm a Childbirth Educator and Placenta encapsulator. I work with a few non-profits in the valley that focus on birth choice and new parents as well. Really, I'm a just a giant birth nerd. 🧡 I am Body Ready Method and VBAC certified and have a special place in my heart to walk along side families with extraordinary pregnancy and birth circumstances. I have 4 kiddos of my own, and when not talking birthy or supporting families, I'm probably beating them at video games.

As a certified doula and current labor and delivery nurse, I am deeply passionate about supporting families throughout the birth process and providing holistic care. My journey in this field has been fueled by a commitment to ensuring that every family feels empowered, informed, and supported during one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. I believe that birth is not just a medical event, but a profound emotional and spiritual journey, and my role is to offer compassionate, evidence-based care that honors each family's unique needs and preferences. Currently, I am studying to become an IBCLC, and am beginning my doctorate in midwifery from the University of Arizona this August. My goal is to provide comprehensive, holistic care that supports families from pregnancy through postpartum. By combining clinical excellence with empathetic support, I strive to create a nurturing environment where families can thrive.
