I am a perinatal doula (conception to 1 year post partum). My philosophy is to make sure that the client feels completely supported physically, emotionally, & is armed to the tooth with information. I am also a certified yoga instructor who’s ready to help prepare my clients for the birthing process.

Hello! I’m Destiny, a Christian birth doula, wife, and mom to two boys. My approach centers on education, advocacy, and emotional presence while honoring your values and trusting God’s design for birth. I have given birth twice, breastfed one of my children, and have supported five families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. I am trained as a birth and postpartum doula through ICEA via Mary’s Hands Network, have completed childbirth education through Mamastefit, and hold CPR and BLS certifications. I am also currently enrolled in the VBAC & Cesarean for Birth Professionals program and Breech 101 with Breech Without Borders to continue deepening my knowledge and support for families. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me homeschooling my boys, planning our next Disney World trip, thrifting, or curled up with my Kindle. I’m a great fit for families seeking faith led support, confident decision making, and a calm, compassionate presence from pregnancy through postpartum.

Hi, my name is Avalina! and I’m a DONA birth doula in training based in the New Orleans/slidell area. I’ve always been really drawn to birth work and how different and meaningful every experience is.

My goal is to help you feel a little more at ease and not alone in it. When I’m not learning more about birth work, I enjoy collecting vinyl records, playing instruments, baking, and spending time with family and friends. 🤍

Empowering Women on Their Birthing and Postpartum Journeys With over 30 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, my lifelong commitment has been to the well-being of mothers and children. My primary focus has been in the maternal/child specialty, caring for families as they welcome new life and guiding them through the transformative experiences of childbirth and the early days of parenting. Building on these decades of hands-on care, I am honored to now offer my expertise as a postpartum doula, certified childbirth educator, and placenta encapsulation specialist. I am deeply passionate about empowering women throughout their birthing journey—believing that with purposeful preparation comes both confidence and assurance. My mission is to help each woman discover her own innate abilities as we navigate together all aspects of birth, from understanding the nuances of labor to embracing the unique joys and challenges of the newborn period. Education and support are at the heart of my practice. I provide evidence-based recommendations for the common course of early postpartum recovery, tailored to promote wellness and holistic healing. Whether you are seeking guidance on newborn care, emotional reassurance, or resources to enhance your postpartum experience, I am here to walk alongside you—offering not only practical advice, but also compassionate presence. As we partner together, my goal is to foster a sense of empowerment and confidence, helping you to trust in your own wisdom as a parent. I believe every family’s journey is unique, and I am dedicated to supporting you in making informed choices that align with your values and needs. On a personal note, I am wife to David for over 35 years, mother of four adult children and MaMi to eight grand-children. My oldest daughter is Midwife Grace Jackson who I work with in her home-birth practice. I look forward to being a reassuring guide and advocate on your path to joyful, confident parenthood.

Hello, Grace Jackson here I am the owner of Grace Midwifery Birth Center and a Certified Professional Midwife, licensed in the state of Louisiana . I am committed to offering pregnant women more individualized, intimate care. I believe that a mother should be in control of her birth experience as an active and informed decision maker every step of the way. From the very first appointment, to the moment she holds her baby in her arms, she is in control. Childbirth, when viewed from an empowered and connected frame of mind, has the potential to be a beautiful, transformative, life changing event. I fully believe that birthing is a normal physiological process in a woman’s life and when supported by a healthy lifestyle, little intervention is ever needed. I see myself as more of a birth guardian who walks alongside a mother, making sure she has the utmost reassurance and guidance. Birth is natural and beautiful; it can be a completely different experience when not approached from a fear based mindset. Instead, we choose to approach pregnancy and birth with positive, evidence based information as a biologically normal experience. After a 4 year comprehensive apprenticeship, I earned my Certified Professional Midwives (CPM) license. This credentialing is the national gold standard for midwifery certification. It is only available after demonstrating the experience and skills necessary to attend an out-of-hospital birth. The candidate that passes an extensive exam administered by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM), is required to maintain current certification in adult, infant and neonatal CPR and resuscitation. I am also licensed by the state of Louisiana and recognized by the Board of Medical Examiners as a licensed caregiver. As a midwife, it is my duty to stay up to date with evidence based information as well as ongoing education. To date, I have attended over 270 births.

I strongly feel a positive birth experience and breastfeeding journey can empower women and their families. I believe that most women can have the birth they desire with preparation and support. I have 33 years experience in the maternal child field. My background includes Nursery RN (1988-1995), lactation consultant (IBCLC) (1995- present), childbirth educator (1988- present), birth doula (DONA)(2011 - present) and I have captured numerous birth stories through photography. It is always an honor to support new families as they begin their journey into parenthood.

Blessingway Doula was born from a heartfelt calling to walk alongside women through the sacred and transformative journey of childbirth. My path began in 2011 while living in South Korea, where I became a certified doula to support military families. That experience deeply moved me and lit a lifelong passion to offer compassionate, continuous support. Today, Blessingway weaves together comfort techniques, emotional and educational support with perinatal fitness -empowering women through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Every mother’s journey is unique and deeply meaningful. I am honored to listen, support, and hold space. This isn’t just my work - it’s my joy and my purpose. I’m honored to share that I’ve been named a 2025 Family Favorite Doula by Baton Rouge Parents Magazine! This recognition is incredibly special, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the families who made it possible.

Throughout my experience as a doula, I’ve come to deeply understand that a woman’s birth story becomes a powerful and lasting part of who she is. My goal is to help each woman and her partner create a birth plan that makes them feel confident and supported as they prepare for labor and birth. When the big day arrives, I provide continuous support—not just for the birthing person, but for their partner too—so that both walk away feeling proud of their story, no matter how it unfolds. Birth doesn’t always go exactly as planned, but with the right team and compassionate support, it can still be a story you’ll want to tell again and again—with strength, joy, and confidence. I'm honored to have supported so many incredible families and grateful to be recognized for that work. I’ve been named Baton Rouge Parents Magazine Family Favorite Doula, runner-up for Prenatal and Postpartum Classes, and nominated for Best of 225.

Hello all! My name is Brianna Betton and I'm a birth doula located in Kenner, LA. My favorite things about being a doula are being able to serve others and capturing pictures during labor. Coming from a public health background, I believe that there are so many things that impact a person's pregnancy and labor experience. I am passionate about finding resources for my clients in their community. I want every client that I serve to feel informed and empowered in the birth room to make the best decision for themselves and their baby. In my free time, I am very involved in my local church and incorporate my Christian belief into my doula practice at the client's request.

Hi Everyone, my name is Amara Ali and I am a Full Spectrum Birth Keeper located in New Orleans. I am an avid reader and GirlMom to the most amazingly adorable toddler. As an African-centered full spectrum birth keeper, my journey into birth work began in 2019, with a Black Owned doula training before the pandemic changed the landscape of birthing experiences. I quickly became a passionate birth nerd who is all about birth autonomy, birth justice and advocacy! More recently in 2022 I attended a DONA Certified Workshop, where I re-honed my skills and gained valuable knowledge about supporting women and families throughout the childbirth continuum. I will continue to re-certify every few years to stay updated on the latest research, techniques, and best practices in the field of birth support. I have had the privilege of attending births in various settings, including homes, hospitals, and even virtually, adapting to the changing needs and circumstances of my clients. In addition to supporting women during labor and delivery, I have also worked with families facing fertility challenges, offering compassionate guidance, emotional support, and holistic care throughout their journey to parenthood. During the postpartum period, I provide nurturing support to women and their families as they navigate the joys and challenges of early parenthood. Whether it's assisting with breastfeeding, offering practical assistance with household tasks, or simply providing a listening ear, I am dedicated to helping families thrive during this transformative time. My approach to birth work is rooted in African traditions and cultural practices, honoring the wisdom of our ancestors and embracing the holistic nature of birth and motherhood. By offering personalized, culturally sensitive support, I strive to empower women and families to have positive, empowering birth experiences and transitions into parenthood.

Peace to all my birthing people. My name is Angelica Williams and I'm a Full Spectrum Doula currently servicing south east Louisiana. Birth work is my passion, which stems from my experiences. What sets me apart from my colleagues is simply my approach. Each client's care is tailored to their individual needs. This is because each individual's birth experience is different. Your birthing experience with one pregnancy may not be the same as your experience with your next pregnancy. I provide an array of services from prenatal support, birthing support, post-partum support, as well as lactation support. I also provide night nanny services.
