Destiny Guthrie

Hello! I’m Destiny, a Christian birth doula, wife, and mom to two boys. My approach centers on education, advocacy, and emotional presence while honoring your values and trusting God’s design for birth. I have given birth twice, breastfed one of my children, and have supported five families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. I am trained as a birth and postpartum doula through ICEA via Mary’s Hands Network, have completed childbirth education through Mamastefit, and hold CPR and BLS certifications. I am also currently enrolled in the VBAC & Cesarean for Birth Professionals program and Breech 101 with Breech Without Borders to continue deepening my knowledge and support for families. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me homeschooling my boys, planning our next Disney World trip, thrifting, or curled up with my Kindle. I’m a great fit for families seeking faith led support, confident decision making, and a calm, compassionate presence from pregnancy through postpartum.

Destiny was an amazing support during my pregnancy. She met with us before hand and helped us create a birth plan. She talked us through what each stage of labor could look like- knowing my body would rest during transition and drawing on that knowledge in labor made everything more bearable. It was way more in depth and personal than the hospital classes we took. I was able to have the spontaneous, unmedicated birth that I was unable to have with my first. I think Destiny made all the difference, talking me through my worries and fears from my first birth, and helping me trust that my body was made for this.
