Having grown up in Vermont, I was always around breastfeeding mothers, clean living, and being part of a village for new parents. Upon moving to North Carolina in 2015, I realized the silver lining that was missing in childcare- a cohesive option for care for the newest of babies to any age child, while providing a balance of education, nurturing, and love to the parents. I have a wide variety of experience and certifications in pregnancy, labor, birth, and early parenting. I bring passion and expertise to each and every family she serves. My interest in postpartum work was sparked when my little sister was born; I truly believed that this sweet angel was brought into this world as my baby. From this moment on, I knew she had to work with babies and families in some fashion. Essentially, Elise did not choose the doula/nanny life, the doula/nanny life chose her. I offer a variety of services including: Elise brings a variety of experience, education, and certifications to your family: DONA certified birth doula DONA certified postpartum doula Rebozo certified Sleep Consultant Certified Nursing Assistant Family Coach Nanny Placement

Elise and her team were absolutely amazing in helping me in the early postpartum days in getting sleep and taking care of my mental health. Additionally, when my 1.5 year old began going through sleep regressions, I hired Elise again for virtual sleep support to help us get through the hardest sleep storm.

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. I also freaked out when I saw 10 nurses in the room trying to flip me over while I couldn’t move, Tori calmed me down while I was Experiencing stress from everyone around me. She made my birth smooth as possible. Thank you! I highly recommend Tori if your looking for a doula. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Hi, my name is Aubrey! I am a certified Birth and Postpartum doula as well as a certified Childbirth Educator. I have lots of confidence in making sure you feel well equipped for your birth and postpartum journey as well as being able to emotionally support you through it all. I am currently located in Jacksonville, NC but I have a radius I will travel as well as offer some remote options for a less hands on approach to support. My view on birth is that it is a beautiful time in your life where you are bringing your baby Earth side and there are ways to make it feel peaceful, calm and tranquil. However, on the flip side, birth can feel scary. Birth can get messy. Birth can be the hardest thing you've ever had to go through. Whatever stage you're at in the process, I am here to support you. Same goes with postpartum. I am a mom of five babies. Three on Earth, two in Heaven. I have my professional training, however I also have real life experience which can't be taught. Trust me to guide you, your partner, your family, your kids; to get through this journey with you. Right by your side and I won't leave until you feel confident to do it on your own!

I know Aubrey personally, anything and everything that has to with babies. she knows it! Explanations and expectations, of how births will go are very thorough. It helped me definitely live in the moment and not have to worry about the unknown.

I am a veteran of the United States Air Force, spouse of a military retiree, International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), and La Leche League Leader (LLLL). I completed Associate of Arts in General Studies and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology degrees from American Military University. I am certified in BLS for the Provider and trained in AED use. My husband and I have seven children. It is because of them, that I am where I am today. I am not only educated on the birth process and utilizing comfort measures for pain relief, but also have personal experience. I had two births using epidural pain relief. Five of my births were medication-free. My breastfeeding journey with each of my children was different. Every journey was different because every baby was, and each had their own challenges. (The parent may know what they are doing, but the baby needs to learn.) My experiences with each of my children taught me many things about giving birth and human lactation throughout the years. Helping birthing and lactating parents meet their own goals is my goal. As a CBS, IBCLC, and doula, all of my education and experience will help me to provide families compassionate care throughout the birth process, postpartum period, and lactation journey.

Mary came over when my son was first born because he wouldn’t latch. We got him to latch when she came to the visit and he has been doing well ever since. She also has come over to do a weighted feed for my son so we could figure out how much he’s eating, he is exclusively breast fed. Then, she came over to help with bottle refusal. Mary is extremely reliable and makes time out of her schedule to help her clients. I definitely recommend her.

I'm a midwife who found her calling after the births of her children. Truly a life changing experience it formed and shaped my practice and made me into the provider I am. Always learning and growing it's such a privilege to serve all families as they welcome the birth of a child. I homeschool my kids and love to read and raise ducks and geese on the side. Hiking and traveling with my kids is my other passion and as babies allow we travel the US and I get to share the beautiful country we live in with my kids via road trips and National Parks.

Mya was my midwife for the birth of my daughter in August of 2025. I had an amazing experience with her, from beginning to end! She was very knowledgeable about the whole birth process, explained everything thoroughly, and was kind and understanding when I expressed any concerns. After a very intense labor, we ended up having to transfer to the hospital due to lack of progression. My baby had her cord wrapped around her neck several times, which caused a number of complications. Mya stayed by my bedside the entire time, to help me advocate for what I needed. Even in these deviations from our original birth plan, she brought the confidence and knowledge I needed to make the best decisions for me and my baby. I am so thankful Mya was my midwife! I cannot imagine what my birth would have been like without her. I definitely plan on using her again in the future as we expand our family. If you are looking for a compassionate, thorough, well-trained midwife, Mya is the one for you!

Hi my name is Jerilyn Free but I go by “Jeri”. I am from the Triad are and am definitely a unicorn in this field. I am an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) and a Certified Birth Doula. I have been working as a Birth Doula since 2016. I have assisted in vaginal births, c-sections, vbacs, water births, virtual doula work, and have supported families that have dealt with a loss. My experience is wide! Currently, I work in a hospital as a Lactation Consultant. My special touch is assisting families in the early days of learning your baby. Working with teens/young adults. These times are very important. Many times birthing parents may not get that special attention. So as a doula and an LC, I am can be there at the birth and can assisting you with your feeding needs. I am one of the Community Directors for Mahogany Milk as well as the Coordinator and Lead for Mahogany Milk Drops at the YWCA in Greensboro. I am a mother of 3 girls, each who I breastfed. I find myself unique because my Bachelor’s Degree is in Animal Science and a Master’s in Agriculture Education. I would love to be part of your birth story.

I highly recommend any expecting or new parent to connect with Jeri. She truly was a game changer in my delivery of my second daughter. I didn’t have a doula with my first child and I have to say, having Jeri by my side this time made my entire birthing experience feel soooo much better! She is very attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. She supported me in meeting my goal of an unmedicated delivery by helping me move through each contraction in a way that help progress the labor process. Jeri also was able to guide my husband and family with how they could best assist me through the delivery as well. She was able to quickly build rapport with both the nursing staff and providers to ensure my wishes were known and upheld. I am SO grateful for Jeri and encourage everyone I know to utilize her services — you will not regret it!

Marcia has been such a blessing to my new little family. My husband and I are young first time parents. We knew we wanted extra support for the birth of our son, and from the time we met Marcia. We knew she was the right fit for us. She has been available for support 24/7 from the moment we signed on to work with her and even now with me in the 4th trimester. She played such an instrumental role in my pregnancy & birthing experience. From her evidence based research that she supplied us with, in order to allow us as parents to be knowledgeable/make the best decision for our family. All the way to just being a listening ear. I could go on and on but I will just say, I am so happy we invested in the birthing bee. The value we received was priceless

100% recommend Katie. She was invaluable member to my birth team. As a first time mom, Katie was able to provide me with a safe sounding board for all of my questions, resources to point me towards to further my own edu and preparedness throughout my pregnancy. She was able to provide us physical, emotional, spirtual support throughout the pregnancy, labor and postpartum. Im confident to report she is a huge reason I was able to birth naturally, labor at home for as long as possible and start my labor spontaneously. She guided me step by step on what to do in each stage of labor and was a confident and appropriate advocate for me in the hospital.

Hi, I’m Racine, a birth and postpartum doula.I work with capable, high-functioning women and their hardworking partners who want to be amazing in labor but are juggling full lives, full calendars, and a million responsibilities. You’re reading the books. You’re taking the classes. You’re doing everything people say will make you ready. But birth is unpredictable and when intensity rises, information doesn’t automatically turn into action. I prepare partners for childbirth to be steady, confident, and clear without having to tell him what to do or how to support you constantly so that you can focus on bringing your baby into the world. Because in labor, you shouldn’t have to run the room. You deserve to be supported by someone who already knows how to lead.

Choosing Racine as my birth doula was an absolute game-changer. From the moment we met, her unwavering support and wealth of knowledge put me at ease. She provided invaluable education throughout my pregnancy, ensuring I felt confident and empowered as my due date approached. What truly set her apart was her dedication to building a supportive team around me, seamlessly coordinating with my partner and healthcare providers to create a holistic birthing experience. Racine’s presence during labor was a calming force, offering emotional and physical support every step of the way. Her expertise not only eased my anxieties but also enriched the entire birthing process, making it a deeply fulfilling journey. I cannot recommend her highly enough for her exceptional care and dedication. I also wanted to add that I was not a very happy pregnant woman during my pregnancy, and I had a lot going to going on in my marriage and work life. Racine didn't judge me and encouraged to to seek counseling and also referred me to a great postpartum doula who made my transition to motherhood a breeze. I can't say enough about Racine. She has a heart of gold and anyone who hires her would find that out quickly. Please hire her and you will not regret it. I wanted to add that since I couldn't come up with the money all at one time, she did put me on a payment plan and that was nice and comforting.
