Hey there! My name is Naomi Carrington. I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum doula, Breastfeeding Counselor and Childbirth Educator in Louisburg, serving the greater Raleigh Triangle area. I'm passionate about childbirth, mamas, and babies, and I've dedicated my life to helping families experience a birth and postpartum beyond their expectations. Birth does not have to be seen as a fearful thing, but something women were designed for. Living overseas has helped to shape who I am today and the services I offer. Over the past few years I have mainly attended home births which is my 'happy place'. But no matter where you plan to deliver, I guide my clients in preparing both their minds and bodies for labor and offer full informed support of their choices. A few things that I impart to families are: education, the importance of body balancing, whole food diet and mental preparedness. Knowledge is power and a big part of what I do. Over the years, I have attended over 85 births and taught several classes. In my free time you can find me reading, working out, enjoying an iced coffee, working in the garden, with our many animals or cooking in the kitchen. I am from a big family and love making memories with them! I'd love to connect and discuss how we can meet your goals for your dream birth, postpartum or class experience!

Having Naomi be there for my second birth was a huge blessing. She helped me be even more confident in my body and myself to be able to achieve the natural birth I was going for. She helped guide me to do certain stretches and exercises to help baby be in the optimal positioning for birth. She made my birth as enjoyable as a hospital birth could be.

Working with Naomi helped us achieve a birth experience we prayed and dreamed about. With something so uncertain and out of our control, Naomi helped us prepare mentally and physically as first time parents. We started by taking her child birth class and learned so much. By working with her as our doula from early on, we were able to utilize her many resources and knowledge to improve my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. We were really thankful to have her at our natural, unmedicated hospital birth. Her support helped us confidently advocate for our birth plan and achieve a pleasant birth experience. She was hands on and jumped right in, knowing exactly what I wanted and needed. Having her support postpartum was also beneficial at such a vulnerable time. Hiring Naomi was a great investment and we will hire her again for any future pregnancy.

We absolutely loved our experience with Naomi and she provided so much care, information, and support during and after my pregnancy! She was so understanding and never minded if I asked her a bunch of questions (many that were late at night) or needed something explained to me. She provided so many resources and recommendations to me that helped prepare me for the birth I had hoped and prayed so hard for. During delivery, Naomi offered such a calming but reassuring presence and she helped with countless different positions too try and help baby boy drop. I feel confident that led to my successful VBAC since baby was high for a bit before trying those. I’m so thankful she was there!!! After delivery, she stuck around for a while to make sure that breast-feeding was going well and that I was taken care of. Through my whole pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum, I have felt so helped and supported! I would absolutely recommend Naomi to anyone looking for a Doula!

My husband and I absolutely loved having Naomi with us throughout my pregnancy and labor experience. As a first time mom, it was so helpful to have her insight and experience. I appreciated how she was able to recommend holistic ways to address symptoms. I also appreciated how she constantly checked in with me and made herself readily available when needed. We were on the fence about investing in a doula and after choosing to, we would not go through this again without one.

Me and my husband knew we needed to learn more about birth and postpartum. This is our first child and I've heard many a horror story surrounding birth lol. We are so thankful for Naomi and her birth class. It was very instructive. Now we know there are many workouts and labor techniques that we will be able to implement. My husband feels more prepared for my labor and birth. He is excited to be able to know how to assist me during that time. I feel soooo much more confident about having my baby. I feel like it will be alot less scary nowthat im informed and way more prepared. Im so thankful for all that we learned. I highly recommend taking her class. She is passionate about empowering women to do what God has designed us to do! ✨️✨️ Thank you Naomi!

Naomi’s birthing class was incredible! We learned so much and it really made me feel like I understand what happens during birth and what to expect. I feel so much more ready and excited for the journey.

We decided to use a doula kind of last minute and we chose to work with Naomi. I’m so happy we did! It was my first time giving birth and she really helped ease my anxiety and helped me a lot prepping before labor and after birth! She is so sweet and very easy to work with. I highly recommend :).

We had Naomi as my doula for my home birth. She was a voice of reason and was a wealth of knowledge. She was very comfortable with home birth. She wasn’t afraid to jump in and offer advice when asked or needed. But, was very respectful of our birth plan and desires. She really takes the time to know you and prepare you. I never felt like she was in a hurry, but loved her intentionality with me. Incredibly grateful for Naomi and will 100% use her again the next time we are pregnant.
— Alexis Fulmer
I enjoyed having Naomi apart of my first home birth experience! I couldn't have imagined it any other way. Naomi was super helpful and attentive to our needs throughout our pregnancy and labor/delivery. Super grateful for her well of knowledge, kindness, & support.
— Sonne W.
I absolutely love Naomi!!! I'm pregnant with my first baby and she's already been beyond helpful with preparing for my natural home birth. At the appointments she provides so much more invaluable information on nutrition, exercise, and more that most doulas do not. I can't wait to have her alongside me as I bring a new life into this world!
— Hannah Nicaud
As a first-time mom, I had concerns and questions during pregnancy, for labor, and into the early days of postpartum. Naomi was helpful in making sure different needs I had were met. I appreciated her care, support and patience with me during my labor. I appreciated having a support person near during labor who made me feel confident to stick to how I envisioned my birth. I am thankful for the help I’ve received transitioning into motherhood as naomi helped with meal prep, cleaning, baby wearing and breastfeeding.

Working with Naomi was an amazing experience. She helped equip us with the information we needed to succeed in having a natural birth. From our first meeting to the labor itself Naomi’s peaceful demeanor made us feel at ease and in good hands. Naomi knew exactly what we needed and when we needed it as far as providing comfort measures throughout my long labor. She never inserted her opinion and always made us feel empowered and confident in our decisions. She was truly a selfless servant throughout the labor process and her heart for serving mothers and bringing children into the world was clearly evident and a display of how God calls us all to serve. She will always hold a special place in our lives and we will never forget the love and care she showed us. We look forward to working with her again.

Naomi was the biggest blessing during labor. She was kind and gentle, yet confident and bold when needed. She is extremely knowledgeable in what she does. Will definitely use her again my next birth.
