oula work has always felt familiar to me—like something I was born to do. Even as a little girl, I felt deeply connected to the experience of birth and the sacred role of nurturing women through it. This work is more than a job—it’s my passion, my calling, and where my deepest love resides. At SoulexTheDoula, I am committed to serving all birthing people. I hold space for incarcerated mothers, trans dads with reproductive systems, and anyone bringing life into the world. Every soul deserves compassionate, dignified, and affirming care—and I’m honored to walk alongside them in their journey.”

Soulex the Doula has been incredible in mine and my child’s life. I wanted to leave a shining review but struggled even capturing the positive impact of my time with Soulex the Doula, in words. I really hope I do justice to what this time meant to me. Alexus post-partum doula support was life altering in the most vulnerable time I’ve ever experienced. I’ve had 2 children and only worked with Lex with my first born. Let me just say, her energy was deeply missed the second time around. I live in a different state now but at the time, Lex did SO MUCH. She helped with nursing, even in the middle of the night for my exclusively breast fed baby, she would stay over to make sure I had the most restful night I could. The baby would wake, and Lex would wake pick her up and latch her to my nipple while I rest, leaving me virtually undisturbed. Lex changed night diapers, and would rock my daughter back to sleep while I slept. During the day visits, Lex would take care of baby while I got time for ME. I could shower, get ready, and feel beautiful in such a strange time. Lex gave me support with getting back in connection with my body through movement with dance and stretching practices. I would have NEVER known this was meaningful work, otherwise. Lex also gave a lot of spiritual guidance and support as a medium while I was personally going through the shifts from new motherhood. She would clean my home, help me organize, or rearrange on a whim. It was nothing short of magical, and genuinely felt like I had a little fairy god mother around the house doing things without me even having to think about it - let alone lift a finger. The bond I watched her grow with my daughter at 4 months old was incredibly special. And now, as a 7 year old, they still stay in touch. We love you, Lex and you really feel like a part of the family for life. Thank you for you’re love, your care, your intention, your intuition, and your raw passion for what you do. From the bottom of my heart, Qui.

I have always been passionate about helping those expecting and their loved ones learn how to advocate for their needs. I am currently in my Doula Certification program, but have helped families for many years. Through my travels and lived experiences in and out of the U.S, I bring knowledge and wisdom from many cultures, including my own Caribbean heritage. My goal is to teach those who are expecting how to listen to their bodies, take care of their needs inside and out, and have the type of birth that they have always imagined. I also support families through changes that may occur during labor and delivery by assisting in creating flexible birth plans. In case of postpartum and bereavement, I provide care, sensitivity, and tools focused on grieving. I am here to support you and cheer you on as an advocate and loving birth assistant.

We are beyond grateful for the support and care we received from Mrs. Shanicqua. Throughout our pregnancy and postpartum journey. From the very beginning, she provided incredible insight on nutrition, breastfeeding, and what to realistically expect during both pregnancy and postpartum. Her knowledge gave us confidence, but more importantly, her presence gave us peace. She has a true gift for supporting families — not just with information, but with compassion. During postpartum, when emotions can feel overwhelming, she was a steady voice of reassurance and encouragement. She helped us navigate those feelings in a healthy way and has always made herself available when we needed guidance. Beyond being an amazing doula, she has also been such a supportive and genuine friend to us in this process. Her care never felt transactional — it felt personal, intentional, and deeply invested in our well-being as a growing family. We truly couldn’t imagine this journey without her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and heartfelt doula support.

Hi there! I’m Chanterious, a Certified Postpartum & Infant Care Doula and the heart behind Chan’s Gentle Touch Postpartum Care💓🌸. Caring for mothers and newborns isn’t just what I do—it’s truly what I love. With several years of experience working on a Mother-Baby unit in the hospital, I’ve had the joy of caring for countless families during one of life’s most beautiful transitions. I believe every mom deserves to feel nurtured, supported, and never alone during the postpartum period. My goal is to create a peaceful, judgment-free space where you can rest, heal, and soak in all the precious moments with your new baby while knowing someone is there to support you every step of the way. Whether I’m caring for your little one overnight so you can catch up on much-needed sleep, offering infant feeding support, helping with your recovery, or simply being a reassuring presence, I’m here to make those early weeks feel a little lighter and a lot more joyful. As both a healthcare professional and a mom myself, I understand how overwhelming—and incredibly special—this season can be. I love building genuine connections with the families I serve and treating each home with the same love, kindness, and respect I would want for my own. It would truly be an honor to walk alongside your family during this exciting new chapter. I can’t wait to meet you and your little 🫶🏼

Chan was our doula the first 2 weeks of June since babygirl decided to come early lol. She was very understanding and flexible. The information she provided was very helpful, and I felt confident with breastfeeding after our time with her ended. We debriefed every morning after her overnight shift and all her updates about baby girl were informative and well detailed. I’m so thankful we came across her profile.

My name is Janis Adams, I am a certified Labor Doula and I live near Atlanta. My background is in early childhood education. I am a mother of six and a grandmother of thirteen! I have worked in public school and currently hold a brokers license in Real Estate. Years ago, I went through labor and delivery with a couple I knew when they had their third child. Afterward both mom and dad thanked me for being the extra hands they needed! A week or so later T said, " You should think about becoming a Doula," you were so helpful! I thought to myself, "What's a Doula?" Since that time I have been involved with and supported many births over the years. The first time I ever went through birth as a support person was with my best friend 42 years ago; while I myself, was a week away from delivering my own first child. I have also been at the births of most of my grandchildren. I’ve also been there to assist, encourage and support my own daughters as they went through the birth experience for the first time. It was during the Pandemic that I enrolled and took courses to be come a labor doula. During that time the number of people that could be in the labor and delivery process was limited to just the mom and the dad unless you had a doula. One of my daughters and her husband were having their first child and they wanted me to be there. My daughter called and said to me that I had to become a doula! She gave me no choice! I am experienced with home births and water births. The things I do to relax are reading, gardening, sailing and traveling. Also, I have started a homeschool group and teach several students since the pandemic. In all, I have come full circle back to education but this time with adults and children!

Loved her, broke down everything very easily and went over a lot of experiences. Whether you’re at home, at her place or at the hospital. She’s indeed with you for the whole process. Even though my wife was the one having our son. Janis made sure everyone was comfortable and ofc I didn’t mind being evolved throughout the whole experience. I’m actually very pleased that Janis was our doula, and my wife loved her as well. Thank you again

We were lucky enough to have Leah as our night nurse for six months, starting from the very first night we brought our son home from the hospital. From day one, she brought such a calm, reassuring presence into our home—and we instantly trusted her. Leah is incredibly knowledgeable and was a steady guide for us as first-time parents. She helped our son develop a strong, consistent schedule (both day and night), which made a huge difference for everyone’s sleep and sanity. She was also an amazing resource for postpartum support—always ready with thoughtful advice and encouragement when we needed it most. In addition, Leah is flexible and truly does her best to accommodate any schedule changes. She always made us feel like our family’s well-being was her top priority. Our baby absolutely adored her and gravitated toward her from the beginning. Leah made a meaningful impact on our family, and we’re so grateful for the care and peace of mind she gave us. If you’re considering night support for your newborn, I can’t recommend her highly enough!

theeloahdoula@gmail.com <- Best way to contact me. Peace & blessings! My name is Mislene and I have been providing doula support in my community for about 6 years now. Being a doula brings me so much joy and I love what I do! Assisting in this beautiful experience, as a guide while you deliver a complex being into this realm is my passion. Within my Haitian culture, I have learn so much about the process of taking care of a woman’s body, especially during pregnancy and birth. Haiti really emphasizes in womb healing, and being surrounded by the women of the village during this intimate moment. I provide physical, emotional, mental, and informational support, to women and their partners. I make sure that you and your partner are confident enough to be your own advocates to ensure a positive birth experience. This is my true purpose.

As soon as I met Mislene, I knew she was the right fit for me and my birth. I immediately connected with her and felt comfortable. I loved that I could be myself and express my needs. She was knowledgeable from the jump and constantly empowered me and my decision making. She provided me with lots of education and techniques to help me progress. During pregnancy she was responsive and I felt supported knowing she was accessible. I had a few false alarms and she helped me navigate those until I was able to really know the real thing. The day I went into labor she came right away and made sure my labor environment was peaceful/ comfortable. She worked alongside the nurses/ doctors advocating and guiding me. The most memorable moment with her was when I started to panic when getting my epidural and she held me and helped me stay calm. Also, after my birth she visited me and helped me reflect on what all happened and checked on me and baby. I definitely recommend her and feel that her doula services made a difference. Thank you so much for being apart of this life changing experience with me.

Hey! I'm Nandi, and supporting families during their birthing journeys is not just my profession, it’s my calling. My passion for birth work stems from witnessing the strength and resilience of birthing people and my desire to create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered. I’ve had the honor of working as a doula in various settings, from hospitals like Wellstar to community-based programs like Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies, home-births and birth centers. Each experience has deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, personalized care that honors each family’s unique story. Here’s what you can expect when we work together: - Connection: I take the time to get to know you and your family, so I can support your physical, emotional, and informational needs. - Advocacy: Whether it's navigating hospital policies or exploring comfort techniques, I ensure you feel confident and supported every step of the way. - Holistic Care: As a certified yoga instructor specializing in prenatal yoga, I incorporate movement and mindfulness to help you feel calm and prepared. One of my most meaningful experiences was supporting women in recovery through Motherhood Beyond Bars, where I saw how vital nurturing care and a nonjudgmental presence can be. That philosophy guides me every day. I am trained as a Full Spectrum and Abortion Doula, so I can support you through any reproductive health journey with respect and compassion. Birth is unpredictable, but my goal is always the same: to help you feel empowered, informed, and cared for, no matter what. If you’re looking for a doula who will listen deeply, support you fully, and celebrate your strength, I’d love to connect with you.

I honestly can’t say enough great things about Nandi! She was and still is one of my biggest support people throughout my birth and postpartum journey. From preparing me for labor to being there when I needed reassurance, encouragement, and guidance she made such a meaningful difference every step of the way! She made sure I felt supported not only throughout my birth experience, but even after my husband and I brought our baby girl home. Having Nandi in my corner during such a life-changing time meant everything to me and I honestly couldn’t see myself going through this journey without her! If you’re looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, supportive, caring, and truly has your best interest at heart, Nandi is definitely the one! 💜

My goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and truly supported, every step of the way. Together, we’ll explore your options, prepare for birth in a way that feels aligned with your values, and create a calm, empowering experience for you and your baby. Welcome—you’re not alone here.

I cannot recommend Barb highly enough. From early in my pregnancy through the birth of our son, she was an incredible source of knowledge, encouragement, and support. The education she provided made a world of difference. She helped me understand what to expect, prepared us for the many decisions that come with labor, and gave my husband the knowledge and confidence to be an informed, supportive birth partner. She was always available to answer questions and helped us feel empowered instead of overwhelmed. I originally hired a doula because I was terrified of giving birth. As a first-time mom, my biggest goal was simply not to come away feeling traumatized. I never imagined that the birth of our child would become one of the most cherished memories of my life. Barb played such a huge role in making that possible. During labor, she was especially invaluable in helping us understand our options and make informed decisions about the timing of comfort measures and interventions. Rather than feeling like things were just happening to us, we felt involved, educated, and in control during an inherently unpredictable experience. Barb’s calm presence, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference. We feel incredibly grateful to have had her by our side throughout this journey, and I truly can’t imagine doing it without her. She will always be a special part of our son’s birth story, and we recommend her wholeheartedly to any family preparing to welcome a baby.

“No matter how you choose to birth, I believe in the power of informed choice and support for making informed decisions about your care. I also recognize that every family and birth is unique, and I take pride in my dedication to customized support when holding space for a positive and empowering birth experience.” ​ ​ I’m Chawnie—a dedicated wife, twin mom, and DONA‑trained birth and postpartum doula with a deep passion for empowering families. My journey began while earning a biology degree at the University of West Georgia, which sparked my love for informed care. Since then, I’ve continued my education with intentional birth coaching, prenatal & postpartum yoga, and Pilates certifications—plus extensive training in breastfeeding support. As a twin mom myself, I intimately understand the unique needs of families expecting multiples—and I combine that lived experience with a commitment to evidence-based support. I’ve supported births of all kinds—natural, medicated, hospital, home, VBAC, and c-section—with a proud emphasis on honoring whatever birth path you choose. My approach is rooted in education, advocacy, and unshakeable calm. I aim to equip partners with practical tools, guide birthers through decisions with clarity, and ensure every voice in the room is heard. It’s an honor to usher families through such a sacred transition, fostering confidence, ease, and support from pregnancy through postpartum—and beyond.

Chawnie was the best doula our family could’ve asked for. Prior to and during the birth, she always helped us be as informed as possible. She also never pressured us into a single way of doing things, but acted as a guide for us to make the best decisions for me and my baby. Since my child was born, she’s remained a loving person I consider a part of our extended family and I would recommend her to anyone pregnant looking for a doula.

Nandi was outstanding! I can’t rave about her enough. I honestly feel like if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have gotten the birth that I wanted which was natural and unmedicated. She listened TO me, she advocated FOR me and when the time came to deliver, she worked WITH me. This was my last baby I’m so glad I got this opportunity. I wish I would have known her through my other two births. I would recommend Nandi 100 x’s over without hesitation!
