Water Birth Doulas in Newport News, VA

I am a holistic doula and community midwife that aims to support moms in whatever capacity birth looks like for them. I am also a childbirth educator and an apprentice midwife transitioning into fulltime licensed midwifery.

Greetings, families. My name is Ottavia Turner, and I am a full-spectrum birth and postpartum care doula and a traditional midwifery assistant. I support families throughout the entire pregnancy journey, including hands-on support during the labor and birth process, ensuring you feel informed, empowered, and advocated for every step of the way. My services range from birth advocacy, labor support, childbirth education, holistic health practices, postpartum and nanny care, yoga, singing bowl sessions, and homeschool education, and so much more. I became a birth worker after experiencing my own home birth ceremony with my son. It was a deeply magical and transformative experience—one that showed me the power of intentional, supported birth. From that moment on, I knew I was called to support like-minded families in creating a birth experience that aligns with their desires, honors their body, and becomes a memorable and sacred moment for a lifetime.

Hi, my name is Aniyla and I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula and newborn care specialist. I created my own business called Rainbow Light with the intention of bringing a sense of belonging, peace, love, and light to women before, during, and after their pregnancy journey. To me, a rainbow represents joy, faith, and promise—a reminder that even in uncertain moments, there is beauty and purpose. At Rainbow Light, my goal is for every woman—of every shape, size, and color to feel welcomed, valued, heard, and deeply cared for throughout her journey. My motto is to bloom in care and beam in love. I want to create a space where you can feel balanced, supported, and able to truly flourish. From a young age, my passion has always been rooted in caring for women, babies, and families. I believe in the strength of the female body and the importance of nurturing and listening to it throughout every stage. Every journey is different, and just because your rainbow may not look like someone else’s does not make it any less beautiful, meaningful, or important. Your experience matters. I am so excited to begin this journey and connect with so many beautiful “rainbows” along the way 💛 Be blessed and bright 🌈 Disclaimer* Please note that at this current time I am in the process of setting up different insurance plans I will take. This does take a while to complete so unfortunately I am not currently able to take that form of payment until further notice. Thank you for your patience.

Hi, I’m LaTory “Ms. Tory” Whitney — founder and creative director of The Maternal Concierge. My work is deeply rooted in helping families feel supported, cared for, and less alone during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. After spending over 30 years caring for children and supporting families, I realized that so many parents are trying to navigate one of the biggest transitions of their lives without enough real, connected support. That realization is what inspired me to create The Maternal Concierge — an ecosystem of trusted professionals designed to help families access compassionate care all in one place. I believe families deserve more than quick fixes or surface-level support. They deserve people who can truly see them, guide them, and help bring calm into the chaos of parenting. Through The Maternal Concierge, I help direct and connect families with aligned providers including doulas, newborn care specialists, lactation support, mental health professionals, wellness providers, and postpartum support teams who all believe in caring for the whole family, not just the baby. I’m also the founder of Whispering Lullabies and creator of the Sacred Sleep Method, a gentle, nervous-system-informed approach to sleep and family wellness that focuses on connection, regulation, and emotional safety. Whether I’m supporting families directly or helping build a stronger network of care behind the scenes, my goal is always the same: helping parents feel held, empowered, and supported during one of the most important seasons of their lives.

I believe pregnancy and birth are a woman’s rite of passage. Birth is a sacred time for the mother, father, and baby. Together, we will discuss your goals for pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and your transition into motherhood. My role is to support, guide, and empower you throughout this journey, as well as support your family during this special time.

Hi I’m Jahlai! I am a Postpartum Nurse, a Certified Labor and Postpartum Doula. I offer Childbirth Education, Placenta Encapsulation, Breastmilk/Keepsake Jewelry, and Belly Binding. Helping Expecting families with their parenthood journey is my passion.

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.

As Dominique— I live for mommy and daughter dates, iced oat milk lattes, home cooked meals, 70’s soul music, and the sound of ocean waves. As a doula— I live for a grounded, confident, SUPPORTED, and informed client. I am a firm believer that birth should NOT be a traumatic experience. I’m also a firm believer that a well watered mama increases the likelihood of a healthy and happy baby. A doula’s role is to support both mother and child. Together we’ll explore mindfulness techniques, comfort measures, and ensure your toolkit is well equipped for a positive birthing experience. I am happy to discuss breastfeeding techniques, to create a postpartum game plan, to provide herbal teas and natural remedies, to offer customizable meal plans, and to help you design a birth plan. I look forward to supporting you on this journey to parenthood! Let’s connect!

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.

Hello Lovelies, My name is Paiten Dodd, and I am certified birth doula (DONA), professional postpartum doula (CAPPA), certified breastfeeding specialists, childbirth educator, and Registered Nurse. I take pleasure in providing you (and your partner) with the best treatment, unwavering support, and resources before, during, and after birth. My goal is to make the transition to parenthood as stress-free as possible, allowing you (and your partner, if applicable) to have a pleasant and gratifying experience. As a doula and nurse, I am able to provide clients with evidence-based education, adequate support, and the birth experience they deserve. I am dedicated to making sure you come first, you are heard, and the vibes are always good! Remember the contractions are strong, but you are powerful! Let's have a BIRTHday :)

I know firsthand how invaluable doula support is. As an RN, I thought I was well-prepared for childbirth. At the urging of my midwife, I sought doula support for the birth of my 1st baby. My doula’s physical & emotional presence during a long labor & strenuous delivery was crucial, & I left the experience convinced that a doula should be present at every birth. Soon my friends began to come to me for birthing support, & I attended births as a friend & advocate. I fell in love with birth work & completed doula training with ToLabor in April 2020. I help my clients navigate their options to make informed decisions that work well for their family & their goals. I want to make sure you are seen & heard. I love walking alongside families, encouraging & educating them along the way. With 7 years of hospital nursing experience, I understand the ins & outs of the hospital system. As a mom of 3, I know the transition into parenthood is no small thing—I want to be a part of your village!
