Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Newport News, VA

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!
