From such a young age, we are taught to fear birth. We are told that birth is a something that we have to get through in order to have a baby. Birth is demonized and seen as dangerous and something that must be managed. But the more and more that I do this work, the more and more that I just cannot believe this is true. Yes, birth is intense, and birth is hard. But birth is not bad, it is not something that we need to avoid or get through. When given the space and care, birth transforms us. It can show you your strength, it can empower you, it can call you to lean on the love and support of the ones around you. Birth asks you to make space for the parts of yourself that we so often try to hide. It asks you to draw inward and trust your intuition and be loud and take up space.  My job as a doula is not to be your voice or to make your birth happen any specific way, but it is to make space for your voice to be heard and make space for you to have autonomy over your body and decisions. It is to join you in holding the physical intensity of birth. Nothing that I do can take that away, but my goal is to help you know that you are never alone in walking through it, and hopefully give you tools and options to support your body. Your birth is your birth, not mine, not your sisters, not your parents.  I am a body positive, lgbtq+ affirming doula. I have a special interest in supporting clients in low-intervention, physiological births, with an emphasis on following your intuition and values. I understand that the world does not treat us all equally; my mission is to ensure that all people are able to have access to affirming, compassionate, and empowering care.

Hi, I’m Hannah — a doula with a heart for women and a passion for presence. My journey into birth work began in 2022, rooted in deep research, prayer, and a growing conviction that every woman deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered during birth. With a background in English from the University of Kentucky, I’ve always been drawn to storytelling and the power of listening — both of which now shape how I support families in one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives. I’ve always been empathetic by nature, and stepping into the role of a doula felt like a natural extension of who I am. I believe birth is not only a physical event but an emotional and spiritual one too, and I’m here to walk alongside women and their partners—helping them feel grounded, informed, and confident every step of the way. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I’m honored to support your choices and hold space for your unique experience. I believe “life isn’t meant to be a sprint but a pilgrimage” - being a doula is one of my pilgrimage stops...

My name is Scarlett Smith. I’m a wife to my amazing husband Walker of 4 years and a momma to my sweet baby boy Dominic who is one. My passion for doula care started a few years ago but I never took the steps to begin my journey and just kinda let it off the hook. Then I became pregnant with my baby boy and I knew I needed and wanted a doula for my birth. Man, she was amazing and honestly it felt like I couldn’t have given birth without her by my side. That’s when I knew I didn’t want to let my dreams of being a doula go to waste because I finally had first hand experience of how impactful they are. I went to a hands on doula training workshop to get certified by DONA international! My goal is to help bring courage, passion, comfort, and joy into your birthing journey!

Why I became a doula? In July 2008 I gave birth via unplanned c-section to my first daughter. I was very young and uneducated. My doctor literally told me that I wasn’t progressing, I could either have a c-section or wait but she was leaving to go on vacation so someone else would have to deliver my baby if I waited. I know crazy right!!! In 2016 with my second pregnancy I planned to have a VBAC but at 37 weeks I was over being pregnant. I asked my doctor if could schedule a c-section at 39 weeks. With zero hesitation, no encouragement to wait my doctors scheduled the surgery and my daughter was born via c-section, Nov 2016. Third and final pregnancy in 2022. This time I am well educated and do all the things to ensure a successful VBA2C. I thought ok I read all the books, watched all the videos, and listened to all the experts. This is when I discovered, doulas. At first I thought I’m not paying someone to do what my mom can do. Boy was I WRONG! As much as our loved ones want to be there for us truth is it’s hard for them to watch someone they love go through the struggles of child birth. I can without a doubt say that if it wasn’t for my doula I would have not been to able to stick to birth plan in having an unmedicated vaginal birth. I want to give the amazing gift of doula birth support to as many mommies as I can. I truly believe that childbirth is an underrated experience that is often times rushed. Some women only get one chance to do it, whether you are a first time mom or a mom of many each childbirth is unique and I am excited to be on this journey with you.

My name is Lavitta Sims, and I am the owner of The Gentle Journey Doula Co. I have been supporting families through pregnancy and birth for the past three years, and recently became a Certified Postpartum Doula as well. I was called to this work because I believe that birth is a sacred transition, and that every family deserves to feel seen, supported, and cared for during this life-changing experience. I offer guidance rooted in calm presence, evidence-based support, and a nurturing heart, meeting families where they are with compassion and understanding. Becoming certified in postpartum care allowed me to extend that support into the early days of parenting, when rest, reassurance, and gentle help are needed most. My approach is peaceful, patient, and grounded in honoring both the birthing person and the new life entering the world. I am grateful each time a family welcomes me into their space and trusts me to walk alongside them. This work is more than a role—it is a calling, and I am committed to making the journey into parenthood feel held, supported, and deeply respected.

Hello! I have 20 years of childcare experience. Childcare is my passion. There's no greater joy for me than nurturing a child's natural curiosity and helping them grow into a confident and caring individual. My patience, creativity, and friendly nature make me a beloved caregiver. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules, and I keep parents regularly updated about their child's day. I love playing educational games with children, as they're a great way to promote learning and development. I'm BLS certified can provide excellent references. I successfully operated my own in-home daycare for six years. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your child and providing them with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment.

We had such a great experience with Mrs. Jones watching my 2 sons. She was reliable, patient, and jumped right in with them like she’d known them forever. The kids love spending time with her and were always busy with fun games and activities instead of being glued to a screen. She also kept their routine on track, which was such a big help for us. I always felt comfortable leaving them in her care, and my boys still ask when she’s coming back. I’d definitely recommend her to any family

Recent review

I am beyond grateful for the incredible support and guidance I received from Dana in the early days of my breastfeeding journey. Right after birth, we faced several challenges—including low milk production, latch difficulties, my baby’s slow weight gain, and eventually a diagnosis of cow’s milk protein intolerance. Through it all, Dana met us with patience, encouragement, and genuine compassion. She not only offered practical solutions and expert knowledge, but also created a space where I felt heard and supported during a vulnerable and emotional time. Her presence helped me build the confidence I needed to keep going, even when it all felt incredibly overwhelming. Now, nearly 10 months later, I’m so proud to say we are still breastfeeding—and thriving. The benefits to both me and my baby have been remarkable: a deep bond, strong immunity for my little one, and significant cost savings (especially considering how expensive hypoallergenic formulas are!). I truly believe we wouldn’t be where we are today without Dana’s dedication and support.
