I’m a Coastal Virginia mama with a deep love for supporting families. My journey started as a nanny, caring for little ones and walking alongside parents through the early years. That experience sparked a dream—to one day become a doula and support mothers through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Until then, I’m pouring my heart into capturing the real, raw, and beautifully messy moments of motherhood. From growing bellies to tiny fingers wrapped around yours, I’m here to tell your story—start to finish.

Greetings, Bornbir family, I’m Alexis, a full-spectrum community doula and the founder of Mama Umi Doula Services & Reproductive Health Education. Welcome to my little corner of Bornbir! My passion for birthwork runs deep. I’ve had the privilege of working as a patient care technician in postpartum and labor & delivery hospital units, supporting families from all walks of life. While I valued learning from healthcare providers, I also witnessed firsthand how these systems—rooted in oppression and racism—too often fail black, brown, and indigenous BIPOC) birthing people. Beyond the hospital setting, I’ve served as a midwife’s assistant in a small home birth practice in Elizabeth City, NC, supporting families who desired a different birthing experience. I have also volunteered as a doula through a community doula network, offering care to birthing people in need, including teenagers, individuals struggling with substance abuse, and single parents facing financial barriers. I believe that all birthing people deserve options, autonomy, and care that honors their lived experiences—whether in a hospital, at home, or anywhere in between. My work is deeply rooted in love, revolutionary joy, transformation, creativity, and ancestral healing. As your doula and community sister, my mission is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel empowered, informed, and deeply supported in every decision you make. I offer: ✨ Holistic birth & postpartum support ✨ Reproductive health education ✨ Advocacy for accessible & equitable care If my approach aligns with what you envision for your journey, let’s connect! I’d love to support you in whatever way feels right for you. Book a consultation, and let’s build together. Much love and looking forward to meeting you! Alexis | Mama Umi Doula Services

Hi mama! I’m Arabella a doulatog (doula + photographer.) I believe birth is sacred — not just a medical event, but a deeply personal, spiritual, and transformative experience. Every woman carries the wisdom to birth within her. My role is not to direct or manage your experience, but to gently support you as you listen to your body, trust your instincts, and move through birth in your own powerful way. I believe in honoring birth as a physiological and primal process — one that thrives with movement, safety, warmth, and love. I draw on nature-based wisdom, traditional postpartum care, and hands-on comfort measures to create a cocoon of support where you can soften and surrender. Whether you're birthing at home, in a hospital, or somewhere in between, I center your voice, your values, and your vision. Birth is not something to be feared or controlled — it’s something to be witnessed, held, and honored. I walk alongside you — offering calm, steady presence, holistic care, and heart-led advocacy — so you never feel alone on this journey.

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!
