Find a Doula Near Me in Lithonia, GA

I am a professional labor doula and childbirth educator. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Georgia. I am a dedicated and compassionate labor doula, committed to empowering women and families throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum journey. With a background in mental health and a passion for supporting expectant mothers, I bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and empathy to my role as a doula. My calming demeanor and reassuring presence help to alleviate anxiety and promote a sense of calm during what can be an intense and transformative experience. I have called North Georgia home for the last 18 years. I’ve been married to my husband Adam for 5 years. We have two boys under the age of four. In my spare time I enjoy volunteering on my church’s hospitality team, gardening, and spending time outside with my family. I became interested in becoming a doula after experiencing the benefits of hiring a doula for my second birth. I find great joy in walking with women in their motherhood journey.

I genuinely cannot begin to say how thankful I am for Alexis and how she walked with us through our journey to parenthood. We had two prenatal meetings where she met with my husband and I to talk through our birth wishes and just get to know us as people. She focused on getting to know the "why" behind our birth wishes and not just the "what." Her background in counseling was such a perfect fit with her doula services as she helped us walk through the crazy emotions that surround birth and becoming a parent. We talked through how I would feel emotionally if my birth didn't go "according to plan;" we talked about how our marriage was doing in the midst of the pregnancy. Her birth class was super helpful in it made us informed and prepared about what would and could happen during birth. She did check ins after every OB appointment to see how things were going and see how I was feeling every step of the way. When my water broke, she checked in every few hours to keep up with my early labor and give us tips for the early contractions and then met us at the hospital when I was in active labor. I had all back labor, and she and my husband took turns giving me counter pressure on my back for hours. She helped guide me on when to switch positions and try new tactics. She was even there to help with little things like moving our car because it was still parked out front. After our son was born, Alexis stayed with us a few more hours until we were fully settled in our recovery room. She did a follow up meeting with us about a week after delivery and just sat with us and helped me process my birth experience which thankfully was everything that I wanted, but it's still a lot to process. Alexis set up a meal train for us and even brought a meal herself. She texted and checked in with how I was healing, how I was doing emotionally, and just how I was adjusting to motherhood every few days after birth and then weekly for the first two months postpartum. My husband and I genuinely felt like we weren't in this alone, that we had a guide walking through it with us. It was so nice that my husband could support me emotionally and didn't have to worry about having all of the knowledge to specifically support me during labor - he could focus on being my husband and not my coach. We just felt so supported and encouraged the entire journey. She constantly went above and beyond what a typical doula would do. I cannot rave about Alexis enough, and our plan is to have her present for all future childbirths.

Jessica Medina

As a mother of three, I've walked the journey of birth and parenthood with both uncertainty and empowerment. My own experiences have taught me the profound impact that supportive care and holistic approach can have on a woman's transition into motherhood. At 20, I became a mom to my daughter Ava, navigating a medicated 12-hour labor and the challenges that followed. Despite the difficulties, I was determined to grow and learn. With my second child, Maxim, I discovered the strength of my body and the power of natural birth. However, it wasn't until the birth of my third child, Natalie, that I truly embodied the transformative potential of holistic birth and parenting. Through dedicated preparation, self-care, and community support, I cultivated a profound trust in my own abilities and the natural process of birth. As a certified doula through The Matrona, I've been blessed to learn from the wisdom of Whapio and the Matrona lineage. I strive to bring the knowledge and heart-centered approach of these wise women to every birth I attend, honoring the sacredness and individuality of each family's journey. As a holistic doula, I'm devoted to creating a nurturing space for women to tap into their own strength, resilience, and intuition. I believe that every woman deserves to be seen, heard, and supported throughout her journey into motherhood. My heart is committed to guiding women in embracing their unique experiences, trusting their inner wisdom, and unfolding into the fullness of their own power.

It was so wonderful having Jessica support me through my labor and delivery. She made me feel comfortable and was so helpful offering different techniques to try to work through the contractions and pushing phase. I am so thankful to have had her help!

Accepts insurance

Hello, my name is Leslie and I am an RN, IBCLC based in the West GA and Atlanta area. I own and operates Mother Nurture Maternity, a private lactation practice where I provides breastfeeding education and support from the prenatal period all the way through weaning! I have supported pregnant and postpartum families for over 12 years in the perinatal space and my passion for birth and lactation began with my own personal experiences, birthing and breastfeeding three children, including twins. I committed to providing accessible, skilled, and compassionate breastfeeding and perinatal services. It is a great honor and privilege to provide customized support as an advocate, facilitator, and clinician in GA and beyond. Both in person and virtual support available and I accept many insurance plans.

Leslie is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to us! I couldn't, or didn't have the same support with my first, as I did with Leslie. She found out daughter had oral ties, when other doctors said she didn't. Leslie came to our home many times, video appointments, and endless texts. It has been 2 years and still going strong. I cannot say enough good things about Leslie. I do wish we had her for our first!

Olivia Gooden

29 years of experience

I want to introduce myself. My name is Olivia Gooden, CD(DONA)and I am the owner of Another Mother's Touch Doula Services. I became a mother 33 years ago with my first child. I remember being in that delivery room alone. Even though my mom and baby dad was on the outside in the waiting room. I was alone. I felt alone. Things happened so fast. Some of those things are still a blurry to this day. About 27 years ago, I witnessed my first child being born outside of my own two and it was amazing and since then I've witnessed or supported about 12 others and this was before I got my official doula training. It came so natural to coach, encourage, inspire these mothers through and after seeing those miracles being born over and over that I wanted to do this. Back then, at first, there wasn't a name for what I found myself loving to do. Then eventually I heard them calling it a birth coach but there wasn't anyone close by to train and certify me, which I found out as time went on that I didn't have to be certify just to support another mother. If we go back in history there were midwives and other women and mothers supporting the laboring mother but somewhere along time, we got a way from that but I wanted to be that support. As time went on I began to hear the word, Doula. Doula is a geek word that mean " woman's servant." It is also define as a trained companion who is not a healthcare professional and who supports another person through a significant health-related experience, such as childbirth, miscarriage, induced abortion or stillbirth, or non-reproductive experiences such as dying. (I don't support abortion). Types: There are a few types of doulas: birth doulas, postpartum doulas, and antepartum doulas. A birth doula provides assistance to another woman before and during labor and childbirth; a postpartum doula provides assistance to new parents after their baby is born (though some doulas offer both services). Once again there was no one close around me that had ever heard the word, doula. It began as a desire in my heart over 25 years ago. June 2020, during the pandemic I had the opportunity to go through doula training. Even though I don't have to get certified and dont have to have the training, I wanted the benefits that would come along with having both. Not only would I be a blessing to mothers and fathers but I could benefit from what the industry will be in the future. As a mother, it feels good knowing that you have the support of another mother and/or woman by your side along with any other supporting person while you are bringing a precious gift in the world while you are at your vulnerable state. November 14, 2022 i became a certified Birth Dona (CD) through DONA International. Another Mother's Touch is here to support you.One mother supporting another mother. Trained and Certified. Olivia Gooden CD(DONA) Owner of Another Mother's Touch LLC. Doula Services Trained and Certified *CD means Certified Doula

We feel so blessed to have experienced the labor and birth of our son with Olivia. We couldn't have asked for a more kind, loving, calm, strong, skilled and helpful doula, Olivia Gooden. Thank you for being a part of our team and for being such a special person in our lives. You have our deepest gratitude. #The best Doula # God's precious ❤️ # Ezekiel Jett. # 3/28/23

Hello, I am Ronessia Patmon, the founder and lead doula at 12Tribes Doula Services. With a passion for supporting families through the transformative journey of childbirth, I have dedicated the past five years to providing compassionate care, guidance, and advocacy to expectant mothers and their partners. At 12Tribes Doula Services, we believe in the power of holistic and personalized support during the childbirth experience. Our mission is to empower families to make informed decisions, feel confident in their choices, and navigate the beautiful complexities of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with grace and strength. As a doula with a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of childbirth, I am committed to creating a nurturing and empowering environment for each family I work with. Through continuous education, unwavering support, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact, I strive to ensure that every birthing person feels seen, heard, and cared for throughout their journey to parenthood. I am honored to walk alongside families during this sacred time in their lives, and I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your own unique path to parenthood. Thank you for considering 12Tribes Doula Services as a partner in your birth journey.

As a first time mom, I knew I wanted to have a natural birth without an epidural. Since this was my first pregnancy, my husband suggested we work with a doula. Being fairly new to Georgia, we didn’t know where to start. But thankfully, a close friend of mine who is a nurse highly recommended Mrs. Patmon. I am so grateful she did. Mrs. Patmon is incredibly patient, passionate, and knowledgeable about what she does. She comes from a strong background in doula care and offers a holistic approach, always respecting her clients preferences. She made herself available to me at any time day or night which gave me so much peace of mind throughout my pregnancy. She helped me create a detailed birth plan and supported me every step of the way in carrying it out. During my third trimester, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and she guided me through it as best as possible. She also offers teas, oils, massages, exercises, stretches, and so many helpful techniques to prepare my body for a natural labor. When I went into labor, Mrs. Patmon showed up fully prepared and ready to support me. She made sure my medical team had my birth plan and advocated for my wishes throughout the process. During contractions, she provided hands on support with massages and used special oils that helped intensify my contractions and progress labor more quickly than I expected. I arrived at 4 cm dilated, 70% effaced, and -2 station and in less than four hours, I was pushing. My experience with Mrs. Patmon was nothing short of amazing. She played such a vital role in making my first labor and delivery a positive and empowering experience. If you’re looking for a doula, look no further Mrs. Patmon is the one you want by your side. A message for Mrs. Patmon… I truly don’t think I could have made it through labor and delivery the way I did without your guidance, wisdom, and steady support. Thank you for advocating for me, making sure the medical staff honored my birth plan as best as we could, and for ensuring the safety of both me and babygirl. You’ve been such a blessing in our lives, and we’re so incredibly thankful for you.

Cory Atkins

6 years of experience

I believe birth gives us the opportunity to become who we're designed to be. I am honored to be a part of a woman's initiation into motherhood and womanhood. I look forward to connecting with you!

Cory Atkins became my Doula during my sixth month of pregnancy. Before connecting with her, I was not going to use the service for my homebirth as I was not sold on the benefit after meeting with doulas in the Atlanta area and coming up unsuccessful due to feeling like a number for materialistic gain. After connecting and consulting with Cory, she completely changed that for me. I truly felt like my spirit was waiting for her. She is extremely intuitive, passionate about connecting with the clients she takes on and exudes a natural maternal power through knowledge and touch that blew me away. Her energy is very calming and welcoming, just like an old friend. After our initial consultation, she jumped right in and missed not one beat. I was able to open up to her easily and dig through layers of the emotional aspects of pregnancy that I was silently dealing with and go through my thoughts around having my first child naturally at home with all that is happening in the world . Cory was the complete package for me. She is very aware of energy and will not hesitate to remain flexible by checking in when she feels the need, scheduling extra sessions or even going virtual. As I reached the end of this pregnancy, her services shifted to comfort management, where she also educated my partner, and prepared my mind for the labor process. She is truly a gem of extreme benefit to anything that she is a part of and I am so grateful for the value she adds to my journey daily. Passion Burcy, First time mom

Tara Khamvongsa

10 years of experience

Hi all mamas, I’m Tara and I’m certain I’m the right doula for you and your growing family. I’m a mother of three beautiful children and I’ve experienced three very different births personally: medicated with epidural, all natural, and an emergency c section. I also breastfed each child for over a year and offer lactation support postpartum. I fully understand the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges of pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood. I believe a new version of the mother is born along with the babies. I’m here to advocate for you, to support you and your personal goals. The fear of the unknown is lesser when we know someone really has our back and I will be that person for you. I’ve been an unofficial doula and breastfeeding guru for friends and family for years. You will not have to do any of this alone. I’ll hold your hand, your legs lol and your baby.
