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.
