Find a Midwife Near Me in Greensboro, NC

My name is Christina, and I have been a doula since 2011. I have always had a deep passion for helping expectant mothers, and being a doula has been a very rewarding calling in my life. While living in Chicago in 2011, I pursued my doula training through DONA International and also attended Bradley childbirth education courses, as part of my training. I worked with the Chicago Volunteer Doulas in four Chicago hospitals, served private clients, and became a New Moms Group facilitator. I moved to Boston in 2012 and continued to be a doula, while working at a national maternal and child health nonprofit. I also received a Master of Public Health degree and specialized in Maternal and Child Health. I loved working toward my degree, as I became up-to-date on all the growing research that affects moms and babies, working extensively on the website birthbythenumbers.org. In the spring of 2014, I attained my certification in Lamaze Childbirth Education and loved being an educator for new families. In 2017, I became certified in Spinning Babies, a skill set I deeply value. Spinning Babies helped me to re-define progress in labor and how to reverse a stalled labor. In 2020, my husband and I moved to Durham, NC and I now do birth work in the Triangle area. My approach to childbirth education and birth doula services is that the client has all the information they need to make their own informed decision about their birth. I am also a lifelong Catholic and help many Catholic families in the Triangle.

I took on the role of nurturer fairly early in life. As the oldest of 8 I lovingly stepped into the big sister role to help guide my siblings by displaying great leadership. In 2014 I became a mother and it was during this experience that I discovered my calling for birth work. Since, for the last 11 years, I have devoted time to being a student in midwifery, becoming trauma informed, and expanding my inclusive services, to widen my scope of support and care. " I will continue to help recreate the way we interact and think about birth, more importantly, physiological birth, as it pertains to people that look like me. We deserve to experience birth void of trauma." - Yeyo

Sarah is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed midwife (LM) Virginia. She brings deep passion and dedication to the birth world, with a mission to create positive change, one birth at a time. From a young age, Sarah felt called to support families, though it took time to find the path that aligned with her heart. It wasn’t until she joined the ARMY and had her first child that she realized birth didn’t have to look like what society or Hollywood often portrays. That experience sparked a fire in her to help women understand that God designed their bodies with strength and purpose! While still serving in the military, Sarah supported three fellow soldiers through their birthing journeys. After completing her service in 2012, she became a doula and birth photographer, then soon after, a Certified StillBirthday Doula, walking alongside families through both joyful and heartbreaking births. Her commitment deepened with time, and after much prayer and reflection, she felt a strong calling to pursue midwifery and became a CPM. Sarah is passionate about empowering mothers to trust their bodies, their instincts, and their faith. Her guiding belief: “Peace on Earth begins with birth.” She is blessed with a loving husband, four beautiful children, and two angel babies. A devoted follower of Christ, Sarah finds joy in the simple things like family time, homeschooling, and serving at her church. Raising Godly children has always been one of her highest callings. In every aspect of her work, Sarah’s love, faith, and joy shine through. She believes that birth is not only the arrival of a baby but the birth of a mother and a family. Her mission is to walk with women through that sacred transformation, providing unwavering support and prayer from pregnancy through parenthood.

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.

Hi, I’ve been an overnight postpartum doula for 4 years and a birth doula for one year. I’m a mother of two and a grandmother to two grandson. I believe parents need support within the first few weeks after coming home with the new addition. Sleep deprivation is real and there might be older siblings that need you, so getting the proper attention of sleep is important . I am there to help you with whatever you need to make your life and your family’s life manageable. I will care for your baby overnight ( feeding, changing, burping, rocking etc)while you get the sleep you deserve. I’ll tidy up your kitchen and wash, dry and fold a load(s)of baby laundry that you might have. If your family has laundry I will be more than willing to wash their laundry as well. If you are breast feeding or bottle feeding I am here to help and support you in any way I can.
