Hi there! My name is Hannah Greenwood and I’m a Full Spectrum Doula serving Clay & Duval county in Northeast Florida. 2026 marks my sixth year in birthwork, and I’m so grateful to serve this community. I am a mother of three wonderful daughters and a son who have shaped the way I view the world, and view birth! The experiences I had through their pregnancies and births opened my eyes to the support needed through this transformative period. I strive to provide the families I care for with individualized, compassionate care, meeting them where they’re at on their unique journey. In my work as a Full Spectrum Doula, I am trained to care for folks through the whole reproductive spectrum — including pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, abortion, adoption, and surrogacy. As a certified Body Ready Method®️ professional, I am passionate about supporting expecting families through holistic birth preparation and evidence-based education. If I’m not doing something birthy, you can find me listening to an audiobook, collecting a new hobby, enjoying some sunshine, or doing something artsy!

Hello, my name is Macey. I have been married to my husband for 17 years. I have two teenage children that are my pride in joy. I was born in Jacksonville Florida and lived there for 6 years. I then moved to Saint Augustine to help my family take care of my beloved grandfather (Pe-Paw.) I lived in Saint Augustine for 28 years and recently moved to Palm Coast Florida. My journey to becoming a doula started as a child with my obsession with the “A Baby Story” tv show on the TLC channel. Life took a different path when I became a teen mom. Now the path has brought me back and I am overjoyed to be working with pregnant women. A long-term goal for me is to become a Midwife. Some of my hobbies include baking, hiking, gardening, and knitting.
