Hello! My name is Kaylee and I am a birth doula located in Phoenix, Arizona. I approach pregnancy and birth from a holistic space, believing that these experiences involve your WHOLE self: mind, body, and spirit. I believe birth is less about “powering through” and more about how you work with your body and your emotions. I offer evidence-based care and believe that being educated gives you the best opportunity to make informed decisions for yourself and your baby. I genuinely care about each of my clients and their hopes for their birth. Support is everything in birth. When you have a good team behind you, you’re able to focus on the real work: turning inwards, keeping a regulated nervous system, and surrendering to the process that is birth. If you feel like we may be a good fit, please reach out for a complimentary consultation call! When I’m not supporting my clients, you can find me with my two littles and amazing husband, cooking up delicious meals, painting with acrylics, sewing to my heart’s content (hopefully with a pattern one day), writing satisfactory “to-do” lists, dreaming and planning for the future, and just about everything else!

As a partner, having Kaylee with us during labor was incredibly valuable. She not only supported my wife throughout labor, but she also supported me and helped me stay calm and involved during the entire process. There were moments when things felt overwhelming, and her presence, guidance, and encouragement made a huge difference for both of us. She helped us feel informed and supported while still respecting every decision we made during birth. We are very grateful for everything she did for our family.

Hi!!!! My name is Christina, and I am an Afro-Caribbean full-spectrum doula based in Arizona. I am deeply passionate about supporting people through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and reproductive transitions with care that is affirming, culturally rooted, and grounded in reproductive justice. I believe birth and healing are sacred experiences that deserve to be met with compassion, informed choice, and respect for each person’s identity and story. Coming from a background shaped by Afro-Caribbean traditions and community care, my philosophy centers presence, intuition, and advocacy. I strive to create a calm, judgment-free space where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to make decisions about their bodies and families. I bring strong communication skills, trauma-informed support, and a steady, grounding presence into my work. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting and dancing — creative practices that keep me connected to my body, rhythm, and rest, and that deeply inform how I show up for the families I support.

I truly don’t have enough words to describe how impactful it was having Christina as our doula. From the moment we connected, I felt a sense of calm and reassurance that I didn’t even realize I needed. Pregnancy can feel overwhelming, especially navigating all the information, decisions, and emotions—but Christina made everything feel manageable and grounded. She took the time to educate us without ever being pushy, supported our choices fully, and made sure we felt confident every step of the way. During labor, her presence was everything—she advocated for me, kept me centered, and created such a peaceful, empowering environment. I felt in control of my experience, which is something I will always cherish. Postpartum is where she truly went above and beyond. The overnight support changed my entire recovery. Being able to rest while knowing my baby was in safe, loving hands was priceless. She helped with feeds, kept things clean and organized, and even made sure I was eating and taking care of myself too. It never felt transactional—she genuinely cares. As a Black woman, having someone who understands the nuances of our care and shows up with both compassion and knowledge made all the difference. I felt seen, protected, and deeply supported. If you’re considering hiring a doula—this is your confirmation. Christina is the kind of support every family deserves.

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.

I truly can’t say enough good things about Shannon and the support she gave me as my birth and postpartum doula for both of my babies. She is the best support person and an even better advocate. She also made sure my births were the way I wanted them to be. She was even there for my 2nd birth when we were told 4 weeks early I would have to be induced that day. I’m so grateful I got to experience her support with both of my children. If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel heard, supported, cared for, and never alone during your birth and postpartum journey, I couldn’t recommend her enough. ❤️

Hi! I'm Kylie. I was a postpartum doula for 3 years and recently decided to switch to a birth doula. I have assisted 5 births so far and ABSOLUTELY LOVE it! I can help with any comfort measures like TENS, massage, aromatherapy, Rebozo and more! Birth/ golden hour photos can be done as well!

Cannot recommend enough!! I purchased the $1200 package. In the prenatal visit she made sure to ask me exactly what I wanted to be put in my birth plan wrote it up for me and made sure everyone had a copy. Kylie made sure to get to know me, ask about my previous birth, and make sure she had all the information she needed so when I gave birth her and I were both prepared. Kylie also texted every day the week before my due date to check in with me and make sure everything was going good. During labor with my previous birth without her, I ended up getting the epidural because I couldn’t handle the contractions. One year later, I am having an unmedicated birth with Kylie coaching me through every contraction for nine hours. She was emotionally supportive when labor wasn’t progressing and physically supportive with counterpressure. I had a nurse try to give me Pitocin after birth, which I specifically put on my birth plan that I did not want it and Kylie stepped in and made sure the nurse was unable to put in my IV. Kylie then stayed with me through the birth of the placenta and the first hour of postpartum Thank you so much, Kylie. I hope you can be my Doula for all of my future pregnancies

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.

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.

Kirstin Moaney

20 years of experience

I’m Kirstin, a newborn care provider and early childhood support specialist focused on helping families create calm, consistent routines from the newborn stage into toddlerhood. I specialize in overnight care, gentle sleep support, and feeding, while also guiding families in building sustainable daytime routines that support both baby and parent. My approach is responsive and structured. I follow each baby’s cues while gradually introducing rhythm and predictability that promotes better sleep, smoother transitions, and overall development. What sets me apart is my ability to grow with your family. Beyond the newborn phase, I support nap transitions, daily routines, and early executive functioning skills such as consistency, emotional regulation, and structured environments for both baby and mama. I help create systems that reduce overwhelm and bring a sense of ease to the home. I believe care should support the whole household not just the baby. Families can expect a calm, dependable presence who not only nurtures their child but also helps them feel more confident, rested, and supported in their daily flow.

Kirstin has been an absolute blessing to our family. My daughter was born on 9/24/24, and during such a vulnerable time in my life, Kirstin provided not only exceptional newborn care but also emotional support that I truly needed. As a mother navigating postpartum depression, I can honestly say Kirstin helped me through one of the hardest seasons of my life. Her calm presence, patience, and understanding made me feel seen, supported, and never judged. She created a peaceful environment for both me and my baby, and her knowledge and experience gave me so much confidence as a new mom. She was amazing with my daughter—gentle, attentive, and incredibly nurturing. Whether it was helping with feeding, sleep routines, or just giving me a moment to rest, Kirstin always showed up with care and professionalism. If you are looking for someone who goes beyond just childcare and truly supports the whole family, I highly recommend Kirstin. She is truly one of a kind, and I am forever grateful for the role she played in our journey.
