Find a Birth or Postpartum Doula Near Me in North Carolina

My biggest fear for this birth had a lot to do with the fact that I had gestational diabetes and I wasn’t sure what my labor and delivery would look like. I ended up having to be induced as a result of the diabetes. As a result labor lasted a long time and the contractions became unbearable. My doula was able to help with giving me strategies to help work through the pain and contractions. She used a few different strategies that helped me to get through a delivery with no pain medication. Her use of heat, oils, breathing and her attentiveness to my needs was the most helpful part. She was able to get me out of my own head to help me to help myself in the most productive way. The most unexpected perk of having a doula was the postpartum care. Tangela helped a lot with suggestions of how to deal with the healing process. She even provided some personally made items that I could use during my healing process. I would highly recommend DoulaSent Birth Services. The fact that I had someone to contact that would understand and sympathize but would also give practical useful tips and suggestions to remedy any troubles I had was wonderful. For anyone contemplating on hiring a doula, I would say go for it! It’s the support you don’t even realize you need until you’ve experienced it.

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.

Beth provided doula services for our first labor that was intended to be a home birth but turned into a hospital transfer. Beth was great and stuck with us for the whole entire 3 day process. She checked in multiple times before labor started as well and was super thorough with making sure she undersetood my husband and I's desires for our birth. During the actual labor Beth was great support to not only me but my husband as well, trying to protect our energy as much as she could, and during our transfer, Beth was super encouraging and made me feel supported even though it wasn't in our original birth plan. Thank you again Beth, we are so grateful for you!

​From the moment she walked through the door, Selena brought a sense of calm that instantly eased our new-parent anxiety. She has an incredible intuition for exactly what a healing mother and a newborn need. Whether she was subtly managing the household chaos, preparing nourishing meals, or offering evidence-based guidance on infant sleep and feeding, she did it all with zero judgment and a massive heart. ​What truly sets Selena apart is how she cares for the entire family unit. She didn't just take care of the baby so we could sleep (though her overnight support is pure magic); she mothered me when I needed it most, holding space for the intense emotions of the fourth trimester. ​Because of Selena, we didn’t just survive the postpartum period—we actually got to slow down, heal, and bond with our baby. She is professional, deeply knowledgeable, endlessly compassionate, and feels like family by the time her shift ends.

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!

Alyssa was such a blessing! After going into labor, my husband and I were unsure about when to go to the hospital and what to do to help labor progress. Alyssa helped us labor at home for six hours before my water broke and we headed to the hospital. While we were at home she was such a great support. She helped me move around and change positions a lot more than I would have on my own. We walked up and down the stairs, knelt on all fours, and moved into different positions with the yoga ball. When I was moving around, Alyssa did counter pressure on my lower back which made a big difference as well. It was a relief to have her advice on when to call the midwife and in timing contractions. She stayed with me when I was admitted to the hospital and continued to help me move around into different positions in the hospital room and took turns with my husband and a friend doing counter pressure on my back. My labor was longer than expected which was scary at times, but Alyssa continued to be a big support as we made decisions. She helped remind me of what I had requested in my birth plan, and made sure I was aware and able to make an informed decision when the providers suggested deviations from the plan. Eventually my beautiful, healthy baby boy was born. Alyssa stayed with us for several hours after his birth to make sure we were doing well and getting a great start with nursing. A week after the birth she came back to our house and helped with our baby overnight so my husband and I could get some much needed sleep. It was a big help to have support postpartum, especially since we don’t have family nearby to help. Even if I was not planning to have an unmedicated birth, I would hire Alyssa again because it is such a comfort to have someone knowledgeable with you to assist during labor and with decision making.

I had a wonderful experience with HumbleWombs. She made me feel so relaxed during the mist of my labor. She advocated for me and made sure it was about what was best for me during my pregnancy and labor. She spent lots of time with me after my labor and supported me through breast feeding. I couldn’t have asked for a better DOULA. Nas❤️

I took Alison's "Nourishing Mother and Baby: Your Journey to Successful Breastfeeding" course. As a new mom not knowing what to expect, I found Alison's class extremely helpful. I felt comfortable asking Alison all sorts of questions related to breastfeeding, as it can be challenging and personal. However, not once did Alison make me feel judged. In fact, she encouraged me to ask questions. Alison prepared me on the new experience I was about to embark. Whether you're a first-time mom or have past experience, I highly recommend Alison's breastfeeding support!

A Sacred Homecoming After 20 Years” I didn’t know how much I needed this. It’s been over 20 years since I gave birth, and yet my body—my womb—had been holding things I didn’t even realize. Grief. Silence. Stories. Experiencing the Closing Bones Ceremony with Dr. Soul was like being wrapped in love and truth all at once. She held space with such deep reverence, like she was listening not just to my words but to the parts of me I forgot how to speak from. This wasn’t just about healing from birth—it was about honoring the journey I never paused to feel. I walked away feeling lighter, more whole, more connected to myself as a woman. Dr. Soul’s spiritual presence, her grounded energy, and her ability to see beyond the surface—it’s something rare. This ceremony was closure, yes. But also rebirth. If you’re holding unspoken stories in your body, even decades later, let her guide you back home to yourself.

Hannah is absolutely wonderful. She has a nurturing character and loves to go above and beyond what is expected of her. She loves children very much and has been a great support to her parents as the eldest sibling of 6. She is a hard worker and dedicated to whatever task is laid before her. She also loves to cook (and is really good at it) and bake all manner of sour dough items. She is quick and efficient. She is a respectful young lady who strives to do her best in all she sets her hands to.

I want to give a huge shoutout to Ava Protokowicz for being such an incredible doula!💕 Going into my second birth, I honestly never thought I would be someone who wanted or needed a doula. Looking back now, I can confidently say it was 100% worth it, and I am so grateful that we had Ava by our side. Ava is one of the most kind- hearted, passionate, loving, and caring people. She is an amazing listener, has such a calm demeanor, and brings a gentle, reassuring presence that made such a difference throughout my entire birth experience. My husband and I truly do not know how we would have gotten through my second birth without her. Ava stayed by our side for 12 hours, supporting both of us every step of the way. There were several moments when I felt like I couldn’t keep going and wanted to give up on my birth plan and go straight to the hospital. Ava never pressured me or made decisions for me. Instead, she calmly reminded me of what I wanted, listened to me, encouraged me, and supported the birth plan we had discussed. Her calm voice and reassuring presence helped me find the strength to keep going. And I have to mention the phenomenal counter pressure! Between that and her constant words of encouragement, I quickly understood why having a doula can make such a difference. Ava’s support also started long before the day I gave birth. I probably sent her more texts and updates than she ever expected, but she was always patient, responsive, and wonderful at communicating with me. We also had two prenatal visits where she took the time to really understand my birth plan, my preferences, and exactly how I wanted to be supported during labor. Because of that preparation, when the day finally came, she already knew what I needed and how I wanted her to help. Ava didn’t just show up for my birth—she took the time to get to know me, listen to me, advocate for what I wanted, and help me feel supported and confident during one of the biggest moments of my life. If you’re considering having a doula, I cannot recommend Ava enough. Having her there was one of the best decisions we made for my birth experience. Thank you again, Ava, for everything you did for me and my family. We will always be so grateful for you! 💕

My experience working with Kaitlyn and her team was amazing. From our introductory call, I felt like I could trust Kaitlyn and once she matched me with my amazing doula, I felt relief knowing I was prepared for my postpartum. I highly recommend you work with Queen City Doulas!

Tara was our doula during pregnancy and childbirth and let me just say, I’ve gained a lifelong friend, first. She was absolutely amazing! Not only is she caring/nurturing, she knows her stuff. She always offered solutions and was one call away whenever I had questions/concerns. During pregnancy she met with us for prenatal visits & I loved most that she didn’t just care about me and my well-being, she got to know my husband as well! She catered to the FAMILY needs and not just mommy! During birth, man where do I even begin. She was amazing and I truly don’t know what me or my husband would’ve done without her there. It was our first time and she coached us BOTH through it and we all got milkshakes after haha but I didn’t sign up for postpartum services, but as blessings would have it, I ended up overpaying and was able to get about 5 hours of PP help and MY GOODNESS, Tara was sent by God and you’re not going to tell me otherwise! She washed bottles & pump parts, she COMPLETELY REORGANIZED my nursery to make it most efficient for us and that took a HUGE weight off of my shoulder. She washed clothes for us and everything. Mind you, all of this was while actively asking questions about our well-being and overall health. I wouldn’t trade her for the world and as we call her “Titi Tara” is the best and if I should be blessed to have more children, I would do the journey with Tara a million times again!!!

If it wasn’t for Tori helping me deliver I would of had a stressful delivering my baby boy. She made me feel comfortable while my mom was freaking out when it was time to give birth.

She made my birth smooth as possible. Thank you! I highly recommend Tori if your looking for a doula. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

I highly recommend teaming up with Dawn for your pregnancy journey! As a first time mom, Dawn's offerings helped my partner and I navigate all the newness that comes with pregnancy. Her prenatal yoga classes provided a loving environment to slow down and tune in to the body. It was also a great shared space to meet expecting and new moms. Her childbirth course provided an empowering perspective on the birthing process. As a doula, Dawn's presence, insight, and support before, during, and after labor brought an indispensable sense of comfort and warmth in to welcoming our little girl. If you're curious about adding a support person to your pregnancy experience, Dawn is a great choice! I was also able to attend her Motherhood Circle Intro and Birth Comfort Techniques class. Both were top notch!
