Hi! I’m Abby Rice, your Sacred Seasons Doula. I am a wife, mom of 4 children earth-side, mom of first trimester birth, and passionate about bringing healing and support to families during their pregnancies and postpartum journeys. I am a certified birth, postpartum, and birth and bereavement doula. With over 10 years of experience in infant and early childhood development, as well as over 5 years of supporting families through a variety of prenatal and postpartum needs, my passion is to help you develop short and long term goals to meet your unique needs. I believe that a family is born at the moment of conception and in order to best nurture their baby, a mother and often her partner, needs to be nurtured as well. As a credentialed pregnancy and infant loss doula, I also believe that your grief journey is your rite of passage to healing and hope as well. Reach out today for a free consultation to see if we can partner together for your present benefit and the future of you and your family. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

When I first was pregnant, I had a lot of fear surrounding the pregnancy. Fear that I would miscarry and fear of what was to come. Abby immediately provided comfort and support, and validated my feelings. She was with me every step of the way through my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. Even though she couldn't physically be with me much of that time, the encouragement, prayers, and support she provided me went such a long way. I'm so grateful for her, and look forward to the future support she will provide as our family continues to grow.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Shawnta's incredible support throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. From our very first meeting, I knew she was special. Shawnta's genuine, loving, and caring nature shines through in everything she does. She isn't just a doula; she was born to do this work. During a particularly difficult moment in my labor, Shawnta's calm presence and unwavering support guided me through. Her words of encouragement and soothing touch were exactly what I needed to stay focused and positive. She truly has a gift for supporting women during childbirth. I highly recommend Shawnta to any expecting mother. She goes above and beyond to ensure you feel supported, empowered, and cared for every step of the way. Shawnta, thank you for being the amazing doula that you are!

Charlene Walker

5 years of experience

I am a full-spectrum doula offering compassionate support through every stage of the journey — from birth and postpartum to grief and placenta care. My heart is in holding space for all experiences, whether it’s welcoming new life, processing loss, or finding healing in the postpartum period. I believe in the power of connection — not just between parent and baby, but also between people and cultures. I love helping others explore and embrace different traditions, ways of healing, and perspectives from around the world. Through this work, I aim to nurture, uplift, and walk alongside every person I serve with empathy, respect, and deep care.

Having a doula is truly worth it, and my experience with Charlene Walker was amazing. We first connected online during the pandemic, and even though she was new to being a doula, her passion for children and helping others really stood out. Charlene later visited me and my kids in Baltimore, attended my doctor’s appointments virtually, and supported me through my planned C-section. She made sure my children were cared for and that I had everything I needed for delivery. She wasn’t just my doula — she felt like family. Charlene kept me calm and reassured throughout my birth experience. During a later doctor’s visit for my son, a nurse mentioned how much she remembered Charlene from the delivery and praised how well she handled things when my baby briefly wasn’t breathing. When I called Charlene about it, she shared that her focus had been making sure I was okay and that she had been in constant contact with the nurses. That meant so much to me. Even now, we stay in touch, and I can always reach out to her for advice or support. Charlene is compassionate, professional, and truly dedicated to her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable doula!

Trauma-Informed Birth & Postpartum Doula + Mind-Body Birth Support Specialist - serving sensitive souls, trauma survivors & diverse families with holistic, inclusive care. Virtual support worldwide | In-person in Philadelphia, Florida & travel throughout US I believe in care that meets you exactly where you are - honoring both the profound transformation and messy reality of reproductive experiences. As a Somatic Experiencing (SE) student with a psychology background, I offer trauma-informed doula care that integrates nervous system regulation and mind-body birth support. I go beyond logistics to support the emotional complexity, relationship dynamics, and identity shifts that accompany life-changing transitions. After navigating my own pregnancy experiences with minimal support and feeling dismissed by medical systems that couldn't hold the complexity of mind/body connection, I became passionate about offering the embodied, compassionate support I needed, but couldn't find. My approach centers on the emotional and relational complexities of becoming parents - drawing from over a decade of somatic-based, trauma-informed intimacy and relationship coaching to focus on the psychological and somatic shifts that come with growing a family. I specialize in supporting empaths, sensitive souls, cycle-breakers, LGBTQIA+ and non-traditional families, and those seeking heart-centered, evidence-based, identity-affirming care that honors their full humanity. Whether you're seeking birth doula support, postpartum care, pregnancy loss support, or prenatal preparation, I provide grounding support through nervous system regulation, practical advocacy, body-based somatic tools, and steady, non-judgmental presence that helps you stay connected to your identity and agency while navigating medical systems and profound personal transformation.

Recent review

From the moment we connected, Lorrae created a space where I felt genuinely seen, affirmed, and supported in ways that are unfortunately rare in healthcare settings. During my pregnancy, she consistently prioritized my needs, choices, and comfort over any agenda, and did not push me toward any particular protocol or outcome. Lorrae is exactly the kind of practitioner our community needs. She combines professional skill with authentic compassion, and her nervous system regulation tools became invaluable during both labor and postpartum. She has a gift for creating calm in moments of intensity. Beyond her clinical skills, Lorrae embodies genuine care and integrity and I cannot recommend her highly enough to other parents seeking support.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Shaniqua, and I am a birth doula and birthing assistant currently completing my professional training. I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based support to growing families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My journey into birth work is deeply personal. I was inspired by my mother’s birth story and my own experiences navigating pregnancy and Cesarean births. Those experiences showed me how important it is for every mother to feel informed, heard, respected, and supported. Especially when birth doesn’t go exactly as planned. While I have a special passion for supporting families preparing for or recovering from Cesarean births, I am honored to support mothers and families through all types of birth experiences. My goal is to help you feel empowered to make informed decisions, advocate for your needs, and approach your birth with confidence and peace of mind. As I continue my training and education, I remain committed to learning, growing, and providing compassionate care rooted in respect, empathy, and continuous improvement. I believe every birth story matters, and it would be a privilege to walk alongside you during one of the most meaningful journeys of your life. Thank you for considering me to be a part of your birth team. I look forward to supporting you with kindness, encouragement, and wholehearted care every step of the way.

My own experiences have been the driving force behind my mission to help others discover the depth of choices available in childbirth.

Whether you're seeking a home birth, a personalized hospital birth, or simply a greater understanding of your options, I'm here to provide you with the tools and knowledge you need. My services include online and in-person childbirth classes that cover a wide range of topics, as well as doula support – both in-person and virtually. My goal is to empower you to make informed decisions about your birth experience. I firmly believe that every expecting mother deserves to know her options and feel in control of her journey. Birth is a deeply personal, transformative moment, and I'm here to ensure it's a beautiful, empowering experience for you.
