VBAC Doulas in Phoenix, AZ

Hello! My name is Shannon Anderson. I am the owner of Holding a Mother’s Hand, LLC and I am a Certified Postpartum Doula located in Queen Creek, AZ. I am from Phoenix, AZ and a mom to 4 amazing children and have been married to my best friend for almost 16 years now. I am very passionate about birth and postpartum, and always striving to learn more! I grew up with lots of children and babies and had always known I wanted to be someone that helped cared for children and/or babies. Being a postpartum doula and getting to help mom‘s and the family with their new little one is such a joy in my life. My practice creates a judgment-free zone for all parents seeking informational and emotional support. In my free time, I enjoy going to the lake with my family, riding quads, camping and of course playing with my sweet little grandbabies.

Hi, I’m Rebecca. I’m a DONA Certified Birth Doula, birth photographer, and mother of four serving families across the Phoenix area since 2012. I’ve supported nearly 800 births in hospitals, birth centers, and homes, and I’m deeply passionate about helping women and families feel informed, supported, and cared for throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My approach blends evidence based education, emotional support, advocacy, and practical comfort measures to help families move through birth feeling grounded and empowered.

I’m Paty, a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, proudly serving families across the Phoenix area and West Valley — including Goodyear, Buckeye, Litchfield Park, Avondale, Glendale, Surprise, Peoria, and Tolleson. As a bilingual (English–Spanish) doula with a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction, I bring both heart and knowledge into my care. My background allows me to support families not just physically, but emotionally and educationally — helping them feel calm, confident, empowered and deeply connected throughout their journey. Since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of working in maternal health care. Becoming a doula is truly the fulfillment of that dream — a calling that lets me serve families during one of life’s most transformative seasons. As a mother of four, including two children I birthed myself, I understand the beauty, vulnerability, and sacredness of giving birth. My mission is to walk beside you — to remind you that you are capable, strong, and deserving of care, respect, and love. At Madre Moon Doula, I honor the mind, body, and spirit of every birthing person. Together, we’ll embrace the sacredness of bringing new life into the world — one birth, one heartbeat, and one moon phase at a time. 🌕

Hi! My name is Racquelle Adkisson. I am a birth and Bereavement doula, supporting all families in all outcomes. I'm a Childbirth Educator and Placenta encapsulator. I work with a few non-profits in the valley that focus on birth choice and new parents as well. Really, I'm a just a giant birth nerd. 🧡 I am Body Ready Method and VBAC certified and have a special place in my heart to walk along side families with extraordinary pregnancy and birth circumstances. I have 4 kiddos of my own, and when not talking birthy or supporting families, I'm probably beating them at video games.

Hello....My name is Kelly Sunshine and I have been a birth doula for over 12 years supporting more than 1150 births in the Phoenix Metro area. I work with clients delivering in any hospital, birth center or home environment. In the hospital setting I work well with health care providers and feel that I walk that fine line between respecting the hospital staff and their regulations and yet still help my mamas have the birth of their dreams. With a little hard work, patience and showing respect we can achieve the birth you desire....while still in a hospital setting! I have wonderful recommendations for both OB providers, midwifes and natural friendly hospitals in the valley. I also work with many of the local home birth midwifes and know that having a doula even in a home birth setting is so valuable. Please reach out to see if myself or one of the other doulas on our team are a good fit for you!

My name is Z’Mezita Talaya and I am a wife and a mother of four children, ages from 3 to 19, and my life has been deeply shaped by motherhood in all its stages. Through my own journey of pregnancy, birth, and raising children, I’ve come to understand how transformative — and vulnerable — this season of a woman’s life can be. Professionally, I bring clinical experience as a Birth Assistant, supporting midwives in out of hospital environments during labor, birth and postpartum. This work has allowed me to hold space women and families in some of their most intimate and powerful moments, blending compassionate presence with hands-on support and practical knowledge. Sacred Maternal Doula Services was created from this calling — to honor pregnancy and birth as sacred transitions and to ensure women feel heard, supported, and empowered. My mission is to offer grounded, personalized care rooted in respect for the body, mind and spirit of the mother. My approach is intentionally designed to include your partner and whomever you plan to have present at your birth! My presence is tailored to your needs and desires. I look forward to supporting you in your journey and bringing your baby earthside

Meet Arizona licensed midwife Giuliana Pica, the passionate force behind Empowered Goddess Birth. She launched this inspiring venture in 2020, initially as a doula and childbirth education business, all while dreaming of evolving it into a vibrant home birth midwifery practice. In February 2021, Giuliana dove headfirst into her midwifery apprenticeship at a local birth center. There, she immersed herself in the art of midwifery, attending both birth center and home births, while learning from an accomplished array of preceptors—including licensed midwives, certified nurse midwives, and a community-based obstetrician. Fast forward to 2024, Giuliana proudly completed her training and passed both her national certification exam, and state licensing test, officially transforming Empowered Goddess Birth into her dream home birth midwifery practice. Giuliana maintains both CPR and NRP certifications, has attended a breech training workshop hosted by Breech Without Borders, completed a shoulder dystocia training course through Spinning Babies, and has attended 3 midwifery skills workshops hosted by the Midwifery Wisdom Collective. She is passionate about and committed to expanding her knowledge base. In the spring of 2024 she also welcomed earthside her first child, Odin. His home waterbirth was a deeply spiritual and soul nourishing experience. Since then, she’s been savoring every magical moment of motherhood alongside her partner Nicholas, as they embark on this beautiful adventure together. Giuliana believes deeply in the importance of intuitive, empowered healthcare, and is dedicated to supporting women and their families in their unique and transformative journeys, all while bringing a bit of magic and her own intuition to each experience.
