Briana is such an incredible doula! She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, warm, and makes you feel supported and cared for every step of the way. I cannot recommend her highly enough! She helped us during pregnancy and beyond with both of our children and I'm forever grateful. I wish everyone could have a Briana in this special time in their lives!

Hello, Everyone, I’m Netta, founder/CEO of Doula Dynasty. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, certified breastfeeding and childbirth educator, and a veteran homeschool mommy of five. I’ve spent over 30 years supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, bringing both professional expertise and lived experience to every family I serve. I hold a Master’s in Healthcare Information and certifications including CNA, Infant/Child CPR, AED, First Aid, Birth and Postpartum Doula, and Breastfeeding Educator. I’m passionate about creating a holistic, calm, and enjoyable birth experience, tailored to each family’s unique needs. I believe that when the environment is relaxing and supportive, birth can be empowering, memorable, and even joyful. Outside of doula work, I love to meditate, write, read, spend time with my family, and sip green tea. I have a lifelong love of the beach and seafood boils, which keeps me grounded and connected to my roots. Doula Dynasty is about empowerment, connection, and generational impact. I provide compassionate, holistic, evidence-based care in a nurturing environment, honoring your choices and helping families feel confident, seen, and celebrated. My goal is to leave families not only with a positive birth experience but also with a renewed sense of strength, resilience, and joy.

We worked with Netta and Doula Dynasty for four months for overnights from the day we brought our second daughter home from the hospital. From that first night, Netta was incredible. Very caring, responsible, professional and safe with our daughter and also supportive of me postpartum. She is positive, loving and knows exactly what to do to help your baby sleep so that you can get some rest. She’s also helped us during the day too and is a lovely person. Highly recommend!

Hi, I’m Anna, the heart behind Pure Origins Birth Co. I’m a birth / postpartum doula and a mom of 7 (yes 7 )serving Charlotte and surrounding areas. I support families with a calm, steady, nurturing presence through pregnancy, labor, and the early postpartum weeks. I’ve experienced birth with epidurals and without, and I truly believe there is no one “right” way to give birth—what matters most is that you feel heard, respected, and supported in the choices that feel right for you and your baby. My goal is for you to feel safe, confident, and deeply cared for—so you never feel alone in this journey.

Recent review

Anna was beyond incredible — truly a gift during my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Her presence was calm, supportive, and never overwhelming. She gave us so much helpful information and guidance, and made us feel safe and confident every step of the way. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. She supported us emotionally, practically, and even captured beautiful memories for us with photos. What we especially appreciated was how comprehensive her support was — she helped organize everything, including handling and processing my placenta (placenta encapsulation), which meant so much to us. It felt like she truly took care of every detail. We are so, so grateful she was with us during such a meaningful and life-changing moment. Choosing Anna was one of the best decisions we made.

Hey there! I am Josie Johnson. I am a mama of 4 incredible daughters and grandmama to the best grand baby boy that ever there was.

Hiring Josie from Living Water Doula Care for my second C-section was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My first C-section was an emergency and left me with significant birth trauma and anxiety that I didn’t fully understand until my second pregnancy, but then I met Josie and she completely transformed my experience. Before my C-section, she helped me process my first birth and identify where my trauma was rooted. She also helped create a calm, peaceful home for me to return to after delivery. On the day of my C-section, Josie was my anchor, and recognized my anxiety even when I tried to hide it and made sure my concerns were heard. I was terrified of the spinal, but she advocated for me with the medical team and encouraged them to explain each step, helping me feel safe and informed. Her calming presence changed the entire atmosphere of the room. She also supported my partner, a first-time dad, helping him feel included and at ease. After surgery, I experienced intense pain, and Josie continued to show up for me, even coming to the hospital in the middle of the night. She helped me manage my pain through breathing techniques, physical comfort, and emotional support. When I felt overwhelmed after being moved to a smaller room, she once again advocated for me and helped me feel safe. Coming home was just as meaningful. Josie had prepared my space, making it feel warm, peaceful, and restorative. Her postpartum care helped me slow down, release guilt, and focus on healing. Josie doesn’t just support birth—she honors it. She didn’t just support me through my C-section; she helped me heal from past trauma. Before hiring her, I wasn’t sure a doula was necessary for a C-section. Now I can confidently say it was one of the most important decisions I’ve ever made. Because of Josie, I no longer fear growing my family, and I’m forever grateful for the role she played in my healing journey.

We did the Sacredsong package with Gabe. I wish that everyone could have access to the support that Gabe provided during our prenatal, birth and postpartum experience. She answered all of our many questions through out and offered answers to the questions we didn't even know to ask. We felt as prepared as we could be before the birth. And when baby came a couple weeks early Gabe was great at helping over the phone during contractions then transition to the hospital for the birth. She helped guide me and my spouse throughout the contractions and into the birth of our first child. She made sure we understood and communicated clearly with the midwives through out. My spouse and I are incredibly grateful she was our support person for the birth and then for postpartum. The follow up session a few days after we got home was really helpful to be able to talk through and process the birth. She was great at teaching my partner how to belly bind and guide them to help support my recovery. If we decide to have another child Gabe would be one of the first people we reached out to to get back on her books. And I have already recommended her to a couple friends. My husband wanted me to add that he felt without Gabe there to support him he would have had a more difficult time. But Gabe was able to support both of us and so he was able to be more mentally and physically present especially during the hardest parts of labor.

Jenna Wilson

With nearly 20 years of experience supporting new and growing families, I bring to my clients a sense of grounded calm, evidence-based education, and the confidence that together, we can navigate anything that may come up in the unpredictable journey of birth! I have a deep understanding of physiologic birth and ways to support that, as well as a healthy respect for medical interventions when needed. I connect quickly and personally with my clients, support families of all constellations, and am super passionate about providing non-judgemental and trauma-informed support.

You can’t quantify the kind of thing Jenna does. It would be inappropriate to place something like this in any kind of metric so I won’t. Instead I’ll tell you what happened. I’ll try to be brief but I make no promises. Ours is not a new story. Planned for a home birth, ended up transferring to the hospital after 30 hours of labor, finished with an emergency cesarean. What was supposed to be sunshine and rainbows turned into a 4 am car ride and 4 day stay far from home; unfamiliar, unforgiving, unexpected. I’d like to tell you about how great Jenna is for a homebirth but I can’t speak on that. I can say for certain that once we were in the medical system Jenna shed her civilian costume and the cape came out. (For sake of transparency this is metaphor, Jenna does not actually wear a cape, unfortunately…) A doula is a sort of custodian for the birthing experience, or maybe like a steward. Jenna’s familiarity with Mission’s system is beyond reasonable expectation. I mean, she’s on a first name basis with many of the nurses and plenty others I didn’t see. Nobody likes going to a party where they don’t know anybody. It wasn’t like that. It was more like we crashed a party with the most popular kid in school. Things kept happening to our advantage that in retrospect had to be the result of orchestrations behind the scenes. Jenna knows the system well enough to play it. This is not where her skills end. She somehow knows exactly what is needed before it is needed. She knows what we’re feeling before we can say it. She knows what we’re afraid of and knows exactly what we need to hear. Most of all, when the already rough waves got huge, she moved through the water like an Atlantean. We would have drowned without her. When the beeping got louder and the nurses stopped whispering and started shouting Jenna looked at me and told me what was happening. It might have been telepathic, maybe I was just reading her face. When things got blurry and I couldn’t see, I felt Jenna’s hand on my shoulder, it made it easier to breathe. When the love of my life was rushed out and all the nurses and doctors started running and but my legs all of a sudden didn’t work, Jenna got under my arm and carried me. When I was alone waiting to hear if I would be allowed in for the surgery my greatest concern would have been for my wife but the fear was fleeting because I knew that Jenna was in there with her. When they did let me in and handed me this strange naked creature and I didn’t have a single clue what to do and my wife was still unconscious, Jenna was there. Jenna knew what to do. In the following days when our baby was screaming and I couldn’t figure out what he needed, Jenna was on the phone checking in. Now it’s almost 4 weeks since and Jenna was just here, making sure everything was right. I can’t say how great Jenna would have been for our home birth because that didn’t happen. What I can say is that if you want to be prepared for anything, Jenna should be on your team. There are other doulas who offer the same things Jenna offers. There is only one person who can do what Jenna does the way Jenna does it.

I can't thank Savannah enough for her incredible support throughout my pregnancy journey. From the moment I told her about my pregnancy , she provided invaluable guidance on creating a birth plan tailored to my preferences and needs. Her knowledge on postpartum healing and breastfeeding was a game-changer, offering practical tips and emotional support every step of the way.One of the most impactful aspects of her care was the open discussions we had about circumcision. She provided thorough information and empowered me to make an informed decision that felt right for our family. Her compassionate approach and wealth of expertise made all the difference during such a significant time in our lives. Savannah is a beacon of authenticity in a world often clouded by conformity. I highly recommend Savannah to any expecting parent seeking personalized, supportive care. Forever grateful for her guidance and wisdom.

Recent review

As a first time mom, having a doula was very important to me. I hired Monica as my doula for my 2025 birth. Monica provided much insight surrounding prenatal care, labor, delivery, and postnatal care. Her communication skills were as outlined as she provided details regarding her role and expectations, which left minimum room for questions due to being very informative. Hiring Monica, was one of the most rewarding aspects of my pregnancy.She assisted with creating my birth plan and ensuring that it was followed as best as could be during my delivery. She addressed concerns during laboring when I was unable to and needed to focus on labor management. The techniques that she provided to help contractions during labor was very successful and I progressed more once she arrived. To add, Monica arrived earlier than what was planned, with no hesistsnce, simply because I needed my doula assistance. Monica's dedication was shown throughout her service. I would highly recommend Monica and have her again as my doula!

Greetings, Bornbir family, I’m Alexis, a full-spectrum community doula and the founder of Mama Umi Doula Services & Reproductive Health Education. Welcome to my little corner of Bornbir! My passion for birthwork runs deep. I’ve had the privilege of working as a patient care technician in postpartum and labor & delivery hospital units, supporting families from all walks of life. While I valued learning from healthcare providers, I also witnessed firsthand how these systems—rooted in oppression and racism—too often fail black, brown, and indigenous BIPOC) birthing people. Beyond the hospital setting, I’ve served as a midwife’s assistant in a small home birth practice in Elizabeth City, NC, supporting families who desired a different birthing experience. I have also volunteered as a doula through a community doula network, offering care to birthing people in need, including teenagers, individuals struggling with substance abuse, and single parents facing financial barriers. I believe that all birthing people deserve options, autonomy, and care that honors their lived experiences—whether in a hospital, at home, or anywhere in between. My work is deeply rooted in love, revolutionary joy, transformation, creativity, and ancestral healing. As your doula and community sister, my mission is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel empowered, informed, and deeply supported in every decision you make. I offer: ✨ Holistic birth & postpartum support ✨ Reproductive health education ✨ Advocacy for accessible & equitable care If my approach aligns with what you envision for your journey, let’s connect! I’d love to support you in whatever way feels right for you. Book a consultation, and let’s build together. Much love and looking forward to meeting you! Alexis | Mama Umi Doula Services

I can’t say enough about how incredible Alexis was throughout my birthing journey. After experiencing a stillbirth last year due to a medical error, I was filled with anxiety and fear about giving birth again. Alexis was a true blessing—empathetic, patient, and deeply in tune with my needs. She protected the energy of my birth, creating a space that was safe, intimate, and centered around my healing. She worked seamlessly with my midwife, and I am so grateful she was part of welcoming my rainbow baby into the world. As a first-time mom, I had so many questions and concerns, especially when it came to breastfeeding and caring for my daughter. Alexis was so patient, offering engaging and knowledgeable advice while making sure I felt confident in my ability to care for my baby. She even involved my husband in the process, which meant so much to both of us. One of the most memorable parts of my experience was how Alexis used holistic practices to make labor more bearable. She guided me through a visual breakdown to manage the pain of my contractions and created a peaceful environment with essential oils and body oils. Her homemade herbal teas, postpartum bath soaks, and pad sickles were total game changers for my recovery, especially for healing my second-degree tear. Alexis also reminded me of the importance of self-care, even after the birth. Her support allowed me to rest and truly focus on my healing. Her services were incredibly affordable, and she worked with us to create a payment plan that fit our budget. For anyone looking for a doula who is compassionate, culturally aware, and spiritually connected, Alexis is meant for this work. She was more than a doula—she was a vital part of my birth village. I genuinely don't know where I would be without her. I feel so blessed to have had her on my postpartum team, and I highly recommend her to any birthing person looking for an empowered, equitable, and heart-centered experience.
