Natalee Hartwell - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Natalee

I’m Natalee Hartwell, the doula behind Brown Belly Doula. I support all pregnant women and birthing people, offering steady, non-judgmental care so you feel informed, grounded, and heard throughout pregnancy, labor, and the early postpartum days. I welcome everyone and especially support families who have not always felt fully seen in birth spaces — including women of color, gay and queer couples, and trans parents. Whoever you are and however your family is built, you are welcome here.
