Kasha or Kashie as my 4 year old affectionately calls her was the most amazing doula even before I conceived. Every question I had any concerns or info I needed she found the answers or found someone who could help me find the answers. I never felt judged for the choices I made concerning my pregnancy or baby. During labor she was there by my side making sure I was taken care of and her postpartum care to me is unbelievable! We will for sure be using our wholesome doula again.

Words cannot express how thankful I am for Devan. She offered so much care & support during labor. I fear if it wasn’t for her I don’t know how I could have birthed naturally. Her touch is heaven sent. She gave me continuous support & comfort pregnant, during birth & postpartum. Labor is painful but if that means having a moment with Devan again. I’ll be right back there doing it all again. 10/10

Amazing! 10/10 Juile made my whole birth experience super enjoyable. From coming up with a birth plan suitable for me to being by our side during labor and delivery. I'm honestly so blessed she was able to help me birth my first baby boy. Birth itself is nerve wracking but she made me feel very comfortable with how knowledgeable and supportive she is. She not only took stress off my plate but also my partners allowing him to be present during labor and delivery.

A Little About Myself My name is Elise Osmun, I grew up in a small town in southern Oregon with my parents and three siblings. Over the last ten years I have made many moves in my life. My family and I left Oregon to live in San Diego California where I then attend San Diego State University to obtain a Bachelors in Psychology. While working as a professional nanny for years, I gained a beautiful community of families, mothers, and babies. I had the pleasure of meeting a doula who suggested I volunteer at the hospital birthing center to see how I liked it. I fell in love with the Doula world and went on to obtain my certification. While going through the program I realized the many other certifications that would be beneficial in helping as many people as possible. I have met my life partner and decided to join his military lifestyle. After a few moves we now have a long term home in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I have always had a strong passion for supporting families during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Each family has their own way of parenting, needs, and values. My goal is to support you in having a non-judgmental, informed, and respected birth experience. I am committed to getting to know you throughout your pregnancy, and creating a close relationship with you before that special day. It would be an honor to support & comfort you during these most intimate and sacred moments of your life!

I am a local to Virginia Beach, and although I plan to stay here long term, my heart also has a home in Hawaii where I spent a few years in my twenties. I love to adventure, design, have community and learn new things! I spend 100% of the time being a mother to two absolutely, wildly amazing children, and being a wife to my long-time sweet heart. I have had beautiful home births with both my children and I would love to have more children! My dream is grow a business that not only supports my family, but over all, supports woman and families all of the world so that we as mothers and as families feel the most confident and empowered that we have ever felt as a community, so that we raise generations of parents and children to be self-sufficient, self-thinkers and rooted in love.

As a doula, I will offer emotional, physical, and informational support, helping to alleviate the fears, anxieties, and traumas that often accompany pregnancy and childbirth. I will advocate for their autonomy, dignity, and human rights, ensuring that their voices are amplified and their choices respected. My goal is not only to provide exceptional care but also to help dismantle the systemic barriers that perpetuate health inequities. I believe that every Black woman deserves to experience a positive, transformative birth experience that leaves her feeling empowered, confident, and connected to her body and her baby.

From growing bellies to tiny fingers wrapped around yours, I’m here to tell your story—start to finish.

Shantella was great throughout the process of my pregnancy. She made it much easier physically, mentally and emotionally! We met a little later into my pregnancy but she stepped up & made me comfortable as ever in every way possible! During my labor she was there the whole way, never left my side and she talked & comforted me through the entire delivery 😭 now that we’re home she’s been doing visits, being a BIG help and just making sure my baby and I are okay. She’s been a very important piece to my puzzle and I’m so grateful for her! Thanks Shantella, I’ll definitely be recommending you to everyone I know love !!!

There was a time when every village had a wise woman — someone who knew the rhythms of the body, the ways of plants, and the quiet strength of birth. That’s the kind of care I offer. I’m Nichole — a mother, student midwife, and herbalist walking in the footsteps of generations before me. My work is rooted in faith, guided by traditional knowledge, and grounded in the belief that your body was wonderfully made. At The ReWild Birth Collective, I offer wholistic care for the childbearing years and beyond — care that sees the whole woman: body, mind, spirit, and story. With plant medicine, prayer, and time-tested tools, I walk alongside you through pregnancy and healing — offering care that strengthens your body and honors your intuition. This isn’t about doing it all “naturally” or perfectly. It’s about remembering what your body already knows — and being supported by someone who can hold space when things get tender, messy, or unknown.
