Debbie and her son Mathew supported my family after the birth of our second child. To say their overnight support was life changing to my mental and physical health and healing would be an understatement. I wholeheartedly recommend Debbie and all of her support staff, they truly were amazing.

I had the pleasure of working with Lauren. She was incredibly knowledgeable and hands-on with lactation support. She also took the time to make sure I was properly fitted for the right nursing gear, which made a huge difference in my comfort. Beyond the lactation support, she watched my baby for a bit so I could actually get things done around the house, which is something every new mom desperately needs and rarely gets. What stood out most was how genuinely compassionate and present she was. You can tell she truly cares about the moms she works with, not just checking boxes. I’d recommend her to any new mom looking for real, caring support.

Hi there! My name is Emmabele and I am a childcare provider/doula/newborn care specialist! I know that’s quite a lot of specialities, but I’ve worked with children and families since I was 18 years old. I have a passion for loving on little ones and helping families in anyway I can. In 2023, I decided to pursue a doula career, along with becoming a newborn care specialist! I’ve worked in hospitals as a pediatric/emergency department CNA, so I believe combining my skills in childcare and the medical field will make me the best doula possible. It is my goal to make labor, birth, and postpartum a smooth transition for the families I work with.

I cannot recommend her enough! She was absolutely incredible throughout my friend’s labor and birth. She brought such a calm, encouraging, and reassuring presence that made the entire experience feel so much more positive and peaceful. She was supportive, knowledgeable, attentive, and truly made birth and labor such a wonderful experience. She also has such a natural way with children! She is incredibly patient, kind, and loving, and kids are immediately comfortable around her. You can tell how genuinely she cares about both moms and their little ones. If you're looking for a doula who will support you, encourage you, and make you feel cared for, Emma is absolutely the person to choose!

Hello! My name is Bridgette, and I would love to be your doula! I began my journey as a birth doula with my training under the LEADoula program including class hours and practical hands-on birth support and am certified through DONA International. I have supported many families including first time parents to fourth time parents. I have assisted families with support during scheduled inductions, TOLAC/VBAC, planned and unplanned C-sections. I have assisted families with unmedicated and medicated births. I am also a Certified Postpartum Doula and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (IBCLC Student). I can assist you in your lactation journey as well. My passion comes from my love of advocacy. There is no greater joy than watching a family grow! Allow me to support you in your journey!

If you are on the fence about including Bridgette in your birth and postpartum journey, let this be your sign to absolutely do it. As a first time mom, she provided care and love for me and my family in ways I didn’t even know I needed. She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes a team based approach in every decision. I had no qualms or hesitations about placing my trust in her because at the end of the day I knew she had my back all the way from her birth/breastfeeding classes to every step throughout labor. Although my birth experience did not go the way we had planned, I wouldn’t be able to look back at my experience as positively as I do if not for her. She genuinely felt like a big sister and best friend throughout the whole experience. Even my husband, as he recounts our birth experience, sings her high praises and felt incredibly supported by her as well. Because of her, he even goes around telling new parents that they have to get a Doula because of how amazing Bridgette was. I genuinely feel like we were meant to cross paths and now my life and experience as a parent is better because of her. Seriously, she’s amazing. You would be remiss not to have her on your team.

I have been a Birth Doula since 2014 and a Fertility Educator since 2016. I am passionate about helping women understand their bodies better from preconception through postpartum. I was inspired by my own experiences throughout my 4 pregnancies and have worked with clients from all backgrounds and delivery scenarios including, but not limited to: hospital, birth center, home birth, c-sections, VBACs, medicated, Un-medicated, multiples, high-risk, micro-preemies, and adoption (birth and/or adoptive parent support). As a Doula, my goal is to help my clients experience the birth of their dreams. My training is body-centric and focused on optimizing fetal positioning for a more comfortable pregnancy, smoother delivery, and better postpartum recovery. I am hands on and often provide comforting touch and release work. As a Fertility Educator I support clients who want to better understand their menstrual cycle to either avoid or achieve pregnancy through private, virtual classes.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tara! She was such an incredible source of support throughout my pregnancy and birth experience. From answering my questions and helping me prepare for a home birth to being there with us throughout labor, she was always encouraging, knowledgeable, calm, and reassuring. Having her by my side during my birth was such a comfort. She helped me and my husband feel confident, supported, and prepared, and I’m so grateful for the encouragement and care she gave me throughout the entire experience. Choosing her as our doula was one of the best decisions we made. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who will truly support and encourage you throughout pregnancy and birth!

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.

We are beyond grateful for my amazing Doula, Kelly, who walked with us every step of the way through my pregnancy and delivery. Her steady presence, gentle wisdom, and unwavering support made all the difference in this journey. Kelly’s wealth of knowledge and expertise as a professional doula gave us confidence and peace throughout the process. She was not only a calming voice in the hardest moments, but also a guide who equipped us with the tools, resources, and understanding we needed to feel truly prepared. From prayers and encouragement to compassionate care, Kelly beautifully blended her professional skill with her heart felt calling for families. Because of her, I felt empowered, cared for, and surrounded with grace as I welcomed my baby into the world. Families seeking both expertise and faith-filled support—you will be deeply blessed to have Kelly by your side. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Kelly, for being such an incredible part of one of the most sacred chapters of my life. You are a pillar and we appreciate you so much!
