"Most of us did not learn when we were young that our capacity to be self-loving would be shaped by the work we do and whether that work enhances our well-being." – bell hooks. This is a quote that has stuck with me as I explore my career path. Becoming a doula is something I did not follow through with until the murder of George Floyd. Seeing the striking images of pregnant Black mothers protesting around the country ignited the fire in me to finally complete my training to become a certified perinatal educator - meaning I can provide childbirth education, prenatal support, labor and delivery support, lactation support, and newborn care support. But my calling to birth work started on the day I was born with my mother being hospitalized for 2 months postpartum from an avoidable mistake during an emergency c-section. I value empathy, collaboration, and being open minded. As a doula, I am intentional about serving my clients in a way that supports self-empowerment, so they feel they have all the information they feel they need to make the best decision for them and their baby/babies. I do not shy away from vulnerability, and I believe this allows me to have relationships with my clients built on trust.

Hi everyone, I'm Ashli Burney, The Viberant Doula, here to support you and your family during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My passion is to equip families with the tools they need to self advocate and create a rememberable birth experience. I am really big on self-care and I believe that you have to do for yourself, like you do for everyone else. For self-care I like to go for walks, give myself a facial, paint my nails and toes, arts & crafts, and just sit and do nothing while I listen to music.

FOR INQUIRIES EMAIL: Hello@mothersisterfriend.org Site:https://www.MotherSisterFriend.org When Brittany became a mom at 19, she recalls feeling afraid, unprepared, and disconnected from herself. She lacked a strong support system, and self-advocacy was a foreign concept to her. All she knew was to follow doctors' orders. So, she suffered through her first HG pregnancy without treatment, showed up at the hospital at the first sign of contractions, and birthed her baby via cesarean for reasons unknown. When she became pregnant with her second child a few years later, she was more intentional in finding a care team to support her in achieving her birth goals. She hired doula-midwives from whom she received all of her prenatal care. Despite Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) and other stressors negatively impacting that pregnancy as well, having an attentive and supportive care team that centered her needs and respected her bodily autonomy influenced a more positive and empowering experience. Inspired by her journey, Brittany felt compelled to pay it forward. She believes everyone deserves a safe, informed and empowering birthing experience. Recognizing the implications of birthing while Black in America, she actively challenges coercive healthcare practices and, alongside many dedicated birth workers, strives to improve the state of Black maternal and infant healthcare.

Hello loves! I'm Ariel, a certified birth doula, herbal medic and birth photographer. I stumbled into the role of birth attendant in my early twenties by being the peace bringer and atmosphere regulator to all my girlfriends who were having babies. I gave birth to my first just a month after turning 17 and had the wonderful favor of a peaceful birth attendant who did more than rock my hips during labor, she strengthened my resolve and spoke to my body directly, encouraging through the rough parts and tuned my heart to find joy even in the pain. Ever since then I've found myself cultivating a knowledge set that would help women through the many trials of pregnancy, labor and post partum. This is more than a job for me, this is a calling. And every woman who has entered my care becomes a life long sister in birth.

Throughout my career, I have had the honor of supporting over 55 families and counting during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, helping them navigate all the transitions of bringing new life into the world.

Through this passion, I have dedicated myself to supporting families through their pregnancy, birth and postpartum in a way that is personalized, empowering, and non-judgmental. I believe in creating a safe and nurturing space that allows families to make informed decisions and feel supported throughout their process. My approach is grounded in evidence-based research and tailored to the needs of each family.

In the heart of Tucson, Mackenzie has been a guiding light for families embarking on the transformative journey of childbirth since 2019. Her path to becoming a full spectrum doula and postpartum placenta specialist is woven with threads of compassion and a diverse tapestry of experiences. Mackenzie's journey began in the realm of childcare, where she honed her nurturing skills as a babysitter and nanny. Her ability to create a safe and loving environment for children caught the attention of a special family in Tucson. Little did she know, this connection would set the stage for her evolution into a remarkable labor doula. As fate would have it, the family for whom Mackenzie had worked as a nanny found themselves expecting their second child. Remembering Mackenzie's exceptional care for their firstborn, the family not only welcomed the idea of her returning but also suggested the concept of doula support for the impending birth. Recognizing Mackenzie's unique talent for providing emotional support and guidance, they saw in her the makings of an extraordinary doula. Empowered by the trust and encouragement of this family, Mackenzie embraced the doula path with open arms. She delved into extensive training, eager to expand her knowledge and expertise. The transition from nanny to full spectrum doula felt natural for Mackenzie, who had already cultivated a deep understanding of the intricacies of family dynamics and the nuances of caring for newborns. Her background in group homes, experience as a camp counselor, and years spent as a preschool teacher provided Mackenzie with a holistic perspective that she now brings to her doula practice. Her journey from early childhood education to supporting families through the childbirth process allows Mackenzie to offer a unique blend of emotional support, education, and unwavering care. Since 2019, Mackenzie has actively served the Tucson community as a dedicated and compassionate doula. Her commitment to guiding families through the beautiful, challenging, and sacred moments of childbirth has made her an invaluable presence in the lives of those she touches. As a full spectrum doula and postpartum placenta specialist, Mackenzie continues to ensure that each family she supports feels empowered, nurtured, and well-prepared for their unique journey into parenthood.
