We truly cannot say enough amazing things about choosing Kim as our Sibling Doula. Leaving our 3 and 5 year olds while heading to the hospital to deliver our youngest son was something we worried about so much, but she completely eased every fear and stress we had from the moment we left. She went above and beyond to make sure our kids felt safe, loved, entertained, and excited during such a big family transition. Not only were they incredibly well cared for, but they genuinely had an absolute blast with her. She kept them happy, busy, comfortable, and made the entire experience feel fun and special for them instead of stressful or scary. Knowing our children were in such capable, caring hands allowed my husband and me to fully focus on welcoming our baby boy into the world. That peace of mind was priceless. She is honest, dependable, thoughtful, and truly gifted at what she does. We are beyond grateful for her and would recommend her to any growing family in a heartbeat.

My name is Rebecca Gordon. I am the founder of Mindful Family Wellness, Certified Labor Doula, Postpartum Doula, Certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator, a North Carolina Licensed Nutritionist, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Certified Placenta Arts Specialist. I live just north of Charlotte, NC, in the Lake Norman area with my husband, 4 daughters, and lots of fur babies. As a doula and nutritionist whose practice serves the Charlotte and Lake Norman areas of North Carolina, I support birthing people improve their overall health, birth outcome, and mental wellness through the experiences of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I use such tools and services as childbirth education classes, doula support through pregnancy, labor/birth and postpartum, as well as nutritional guidance and education for both mother and baby. Providing these services has been shown to increase positive birth outcomes, reduce cesarean section births, reduce postpartum mental disorders such as postpartum depression/anxiety (PPD/A) and postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder, (PPTSD) increase breast/chest-feeding success and duration, and strengthen the holistic health of both parent and child. As you can see, I offer a number of different services. As a NC Licensed Nutritionist, I provide integrative and functional nutrition counseling for the entire family. 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 want to give a huge shoutout to Ava Protokowicz for being such an incredible doula!💕 Going into my second birth, I honestly never thought I would be someone who wanted or needed a doula. Looking back now, I can confidently say it was 100% worth it, and I am so grateful that we had Ava by our side. Ava is one of the most kind- hearted, passionate, loving, and caring people. She is an amazing listener, has such a calm demeanor, and brings a gentle, reassuring presence that made such a difference throughout my entire birth experience. My husband and I truly do not know how we would have gotten through my second birth without her. Ava stayed by our side for 12 hours, supporting both of us every step of the way. There were several moments when I felt like I couldn’t keep going and wanted to give up on my birth plan and go straight to the hospital. Ava never pressured me or made decisions for me. Instead, she calmly reminded me of what I wanted, listened to me, encouraged me, and supported the birth plan we had discussed. Her calm voice and reassuring presence helped me find the strength to keep going. And I have to mention the phenomenal counter pressure! Between that and her constant words of encouragement, I quickly understood why having a doula can make such a difference. Ava’s support also started long before the day I gave birth. I probably sent her more texts and updates than she ever expected, but she was always patient, responsive, and wonderful at communicating with me. We also had two prenatal visits where she took the time to really understand my birth plan, my preferences, and exactly how I wanted to be supported during labor. Because of that preparation, when the day finally came, she already knew what I needed and how I wanted her to help. Ava didn’t just show up for my birth—she took the time to get to know me, listen to me, advocate for what I wanted, and help me feel supported and confident during one of the biggest moments of my life. If you’re considering having a doula, I cannot recommend Ava enough. Having her there was one of the best decisions we made for my birth experience. Thank you again, Ava, for everything you did for me and my family. We will always be so grateful for you! 💕

Hi, I’m Anna, the heart behind Pure Origins Birth Co. I’m a birth / postpartum doula and a mom of 7 (yes 7 )serving Charlotte and surrounding areas. I support families with a calm, steady, nurturing presence through pregnancy, labor, and the early postpartum weeks. I’ve experienced birth with epidurals and without, and I truly believe there is no one “right” way to give birth—what matters most is that you feel heard, respected, and supported in the choices that feel right for you and your baby. My goal is for you to feel safe, confident, and deeply cared for—so you never feel alone in this journey.

Anna was beyond incredible — truly a gift during my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Her presence was calm, supportive, and never overwhelming. She gave us so much helpful information and guidance, and made us feel safe and confident every step of the way. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. She supported us emotionally, practically, and even captured beautiful memories for us with photos. What we especially appreciated was how comprehensive her support was — she helped organize everything, including handling and processing my placenta (placenta encapsulation), which meant so much to us. It felt like she truly took care of every detail. We are so, so grateful she was with us during such a meaningful and life-changing moment. Choosing Anna was one of the best decisions we made.

I'm a midwife who found her calling after the births of her children. Truly a life changing experience it formed and shaped my practice and made me into the provider I am. Always learning and growing it's such a privilege to serve all families as they welcome the birth of a child. I homeschool my kids and love to read and raise ducks and geese on the side. Hiking and traveling with my kids is my other passion and as babies allow we travel the US and I get to share the beautiful country we live in with my kids via road trips and National Parks.

Mya was my midwife for the birth of my daughter in August of 2025. I had an amazing experience with her, from beginning to end! She was very knowledgeable about the whole birth process, explained everything thoroughly, and was kind and understanding when I expressed any concerns. After a very intense labor, we ended up having to transfer to the hospital due to lack of progression. My baby had her cord wrapped around her neck several times, which caused a number of complications. Mya stayed by my bedside the entire time, to help me advocate for what I needed. Even in these deviations from our original birth plan, she brought the confidence and knowledge I needed to make the best decisions for me and my baby. I am so thankful Mya was my midwife! I cannot imagine what my birth would have been like without her. I definitely plan on using her again in the future as we expand our family. If you are looking for a compassionate, thorough, well-trained midwife, Mya is the one for you!

Karen is absolutely amazing - very knowledgeable, and so kind and compassionate. I highly recommend her! She gave me trust: trust in myself and also trust in her - I knew I was in good hands - which are both so important in the process of giving life. Her support was excellent, from start to finish, and also on all levels, whether physical, mental or emotional. She made sure I was at my best for the birth, as we were able to detect and fix imbalances during the pregnancy. I really appreciated how she blends modern medicine with alternative and natural remedies, and also all the recommendations of books and resources she provided to educate myself. All the postpartum support was perfect too, she actively followed up on my baby's and my own health and well-being. I feel like my words are not enough to describe how grateful I am that she was my midwife. Thank you for everything, Karen!

July 2026

Absolutely love Robin and her team. She’s a joy to have around a was truly helpful on my pregnancy journey. As a FTM I was so scared and felt almost clueless as to what to do or what to expect. Robin was there every step of the way. She is very knowledgeable and breaks information down so that it is relatable and easy to understand. I appreciate her and Malisha so much for the love, support and guidance they provided. I definitely recommend!

Robin and Malisha were such great support during and after my pregnancy. It was my first time using a doula and Im so very glad I did! They gave me all the tools and answers I needed having a baby 13 yrs after my first. The support and love they showed my partner and I was outstanding and so comforting! I recommend them 100x over and over!
