A Louisiana native, Leila was born at home in Lacombe with midwives, and grew up around the normalcy of birth as an every day occurrence. Leila birthed both of her babies in a birth center in Florida and recalls her births as “orgasmic and life changing”. After becoming a doula, spinning babies parent educator, lactation counselor, birthing from within mentor, and midwife assistant, it was clear that Midwifery was her calling. Leila took her education seriously and became a traveling student midwife in order to experience a wide variety of clinical sites, communities, and philosophies. This allowed her to become a well rounded, culturally respectful, and skilled provider. Leila has attended over 500+ births, and is skilled at twins, breech, VBAC, waterbirth, and birth in every type of environment. Leila graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Midwifery from Midwives College of Utah and is a Certified Professional Midwife through the North American Registry of Midwives. She is licensed in Louisiana. Mississippi currently does not have a licensing credential and recognizes Leila’s credentials as a midwife. Leila maintains credentials as a neonatal resuscitation provider, CPR, Breech without Boarder trained provider, and completes yearly continuing education to always develop skills and competency. Leila owns Devotion Midwifery. “I believe in autonomy for both the midwife and the birthing families, and support licensed midwifery with full scope care, traditional midwifery, and attendants rooted in a lineage of cultural tradition, freebirth, and medical birth as desired. I believe in sovereign birth. I believe in anti-racism, inclusivity, and freedom. My philosophy of care is deeply rooted in these beliefs and will hold them on the highest of esteem in every part of care that I offer. “ - Leila

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.

Peace to all my birthing people. My name is Angelica Williams and I'm a Full Spectrum Doula currently servicing 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. I’m easily contactable via email : angelicawilliamsthedoula@gmail.com

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.

I am committed to providing education & services to those who face disparities-those who are at an increased risk for complications and or death during childbirth. As a young nurse, I became fascinated with pregnant women and newborns and was quickly drawn to women's healthcare. As a mother of three and a practicing OB/GYN nurse has led me to becoming a doula. I became a doula because I’m passionate about supporting individuals during the transformative journey of childbirth. It’s gratifying to offer guidance, comfort, and encouragement during such a significant and profound moment in people’s lives.

As a doula and lactation support provider, I've been deeply immersed in the world of childbirth and breastfeeding since 2019. My journey began unexpectedly at 18 when I welcomed my first child into the world. Faced with fear and a lack of education about childbirth, I found myself navigating a scary experience only with support of my husband and Dr.Google The medical system treated me more like a patient than a person, leaving me feeling unseen and unheard. It wasn't until the birth of my second child that I discovered the transformative role of a doula. With newfound knowledge and research, I embarked on a journey to empower myself and others through childbirth. Through my own experiences with postpartum and breastfeeding, I discovered my passion for birth work Now, as a mother of three and a dedicated wife, I am committed to ensuring that every mother feels safe, seen, and heard during their childbirth experience, regardless of the path they choose.
