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 Samantha, a certified birth doula and the owner of Anchor and Rise Doula Services. As a wife and mother of three, I understand how important it is to feel supported, informed, and respected throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My own experience with birth trauma inspired me to become a doula and provide compassionate, evidence-based support for growing families. I’m passionate about helping parents feel empowered, heard, and confident as they navigate their unique birth journey.

Sam will be our go to doula for any future pregnancies! With Sam’s support I was able to achieve the most healing vbac experience. Sam was an absolute blessing for us during my pregnancy and labor. Every doubt and anxiety I had was met with positivity and reassurance. She made me feel empowered to make my own decisions and trust my body. She helped me to get into a positive mindset for my birth and I truly don’t think I could have done it without her help. Sam really believed in me and my ability to achieve the birth I wanted even when I did not. She went above and beyond for us and really educated herself for my particular birthing experience and provided us with hand tailored resources and handouts so that I could feel confident and empowered in my choices. From our very first meeting I just felt comfortable with her. The extra small things that she went out of her way to do like greeting us with a gift basket when we first met only scratch the surface! You can just really tell she loves what she does. Her presence brought so much comfort to my partner and I during my labor. For over 20 hours Sam offered continuous support from pain relief techniques during the unmedicated parts of my labor to mental support during tough decisions, and to the emotional last postpartum goodbye visit. Sam is an exceptional doula and I can’t say enough good things about her! She feels like part of our family now and will always hold a special place in our lives from now on.

Hello friends!! I wanted to properly introduce myself. My name is Kendall Francis. I am a christian certified birth doula. I serve mama’s in the Fort Mill and Charlotte surrounding areas during pregnancy and postpartum. I am married to my best friend, Collin Francis and we just had the most perfect baby girl, Saylor Grace Francis, born at home on July 31st, 2022. Our hearts are so full! I became a doula because I am so passionate about everything pregnancy and birth but most importantly because I believe women and their families need such a strong support system during this season in their life. I worked in the hospital system for almost 4 years on several different units from ER to maternity, went to nursing school and got my LPN degree all to realize I wanted nothing more than to support women holistically. I believe with all my heart that it is OUR decision as women how our pregnancy journey should turn out and WE have the control, not our providers. That is where I come in as your doula to help educate and advocate for you every step of the way no matter what you decide for your birth. Whether that be at home, at a birthing center or a hospital, I will be by your side. If you would like to connect and talk more about your dream birth feel free to send me a message! I am so excited to meet you and your family!

Kendall is truly one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met. From the moment I met her I knew I wanted her as my doula. She made me feel loved, comforted, cared for, amongst so many other things. For my birth, she came as soon as I felt I needed support and stayed through the postpartum period, over 24 hours. She didn’t even talk about leaving me during this time and stayed through it ALL. She supported every decision I made, encouraged me to make position changes to help progress my labor, prayed over me, held a fan to my face for HOURS, spoke kindly and softly and was just everything I needed. She started as my doula and I now consider her one of my closest friends. I love her so much. She’s truly made for this!
