Find Placenta Encapsulation Specialists Near Me

We were fortunate enough to get one of the best night nurses out there. Nancy was incredible. From the first interaction over the phone, we felt totally comfortable with her. The first night she arrived and immediately sparked conversation around baby, and our dogs! She was so gentle, thoughtful, and without a doubt a life saver to my husband and I. We cannot recommend this service enough to families that are in the trenches. Nancy was there to guide me through uncertainties and was a positive light I didn't realized I'd need. Thank you KC Newborn Care for helping my husband and I establish a routine and get the needed sleep to be our best.

My experience with Tracy was nothing short of exceptional. After my first birth (without a doula) I was extremely anxious about going through labor again. I knew I wanted another epidural-free labor and delivery, but I knew I was going to need support. Making the birth plan and talking through pain management helped me to lessen some of my anxieties while I was still pregnant. Tracy and I communicated closely as I approached labor, and she was readily available when things got going. Her presence during labor and delivery was so helpful. She was calming, encouraging, helped me stick to my birth plan, and suggested so many different things to help labor progress. Thanks to her I was able to reach my goal of not getting an epidural again. She prayed over me during the hardest moments and was just amazing through the whole thing. For future children I will absolutely work with Tracy and Rocket City Doulas again. I cannot recommend her enough!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Mary and Lotus Doula Tribe. Having her by my side through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum was honestly a God send. Even though I ultimately needed a C-section, she still showed up for me in more ways than I can count. Her presence, support, love and wisdom were monumental in my recovery, and I know we are so blessed to have had her by our side. She held space for me, reminded me of my strength, and helped me navigate decisions with confidence. Her calm, grounding energy was such a gift to our whole family. I’m endlessly grateful for her role in my journey and couldn’t imagine doing it without her. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and will walk alongside you every step of the way, Mary is the one. 💛

Gabriella definitely helped me in more ways than 1. Throughout my pregnancy she consistently answered questions, taught me things I didn’t even think I needed but ultimately prepared me for so much and gave passionate care. She’s got an amazing gift for this. I thank God for that girl. 💞

To my incredible doulas, Mrs. Allison & Mrs. Ashley, I cannot thank you enough for being by my side every step of the way during my delivery. You truly have a special gift. Your constant, calming presence in every single moment completely transformed the room, creating a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere that made me feel so safe and comfortable. You didn't just support me physically—you helped me believe in myself when I needed it most. By giving me the knowledge, coping tools, and unwavering encouragement, you empowered me to have a truly successful delivery. I will cherish you forever!

We found Jessica on the DONA International website. This was our first pregnancy and we knew we wanted the support of a Birth Doula. Her credentials stood out to us, and after reading more about her on her website, I knew I wanted to meet her in person. What stood out the most to us was her story about how she stepped into this line of work. As a mother herself, Jess has personal experience with giving birth and after having two radically different birth experiences, she deep dove into being a childbirth educator and doula so that she could better educate and support her clients. She brings a wealth of knowledge into her work and it’s very clear she’s passionate about working with others on this journey. She was responsive, professional, grounding, and nurturing throughout our time working with her. We were beyond grateful to have her as part of our birth team! We also utilized her placenta encapsulation services after delivery, which she hand delivered promptly with clear instructions. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Jessica would be held with loving support during such a magical time.

I can't recommend Aneke highly enough. Having her by my side was one of the best decisions I made for my birth experience. During labor, she continuously helped position and reposition my body using different techniques to encourage my baby to rotate into a better position and descend. When contractions became most intense, she provided counter-pressure and massage that brought tremendous relief. During the pushing stage, she suggested different pushing positions based on my progress and used warm compresses to help protect my perineum. Her expertise, calm guidance, and constant support played a huge role in helping me achieve a vaginal birth. Most importantly, Aneke is incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Every time we encountered a challenge during labor or breastfeeding, she always had thoughtful and effective solutions. She never stopped encouraging me, helping me overcome difficult moments, and giving me both the courage to get through childbirth and the confidence to continue my breastfeeding journey.

We had the absolute best experience with Tory, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she walked into our home, she brought an immediate sense of calm and confidence that we desperately needed. After just one visit, our entire household felt more settled. She didn’t just care for our newborn—she taught me how to care for him with new techniques, hands-on guidance, and so much patience. She showed me how to soothe him, how to read his cues, and how to manage those fussy moments that had felt overwhelming before. Her approach was gentle, practical, and incredibly reassuring. On top of that, both the baby and I were coming down with a cold, and she handled the situation with so much compassion. She showed me how to help a congested newborn, helped me feel more confident in what to watch for, and even let me get much-needed rest. I truly felt cared for as a new mom, not just supported in caring for my baby. If you are looking for someone who brings expertise, calm energy, and genuine care into your home, Tory is absolutely exceptional. One visit made such a meaningful difference for us, and I am so grateful for her. I am excited to work with her again and ensure that I’ve really taken her lessons to heart.

Mislene was amazing. Her knowledge made me feel comfortable when making decisions during my labor and delivery. It gave my fiancé the confidence to be able to advocate for me in times I could not. We felt prepared and supported during my delivery and pregnancy. She was there to answer any of my questions and ask questions I would not have thought of at my doctor appointments as well. I would recommend her to anyone.

Absolutely love Robin and her team. She’s a joy to have around a was truly helpful on my pregnancy journey. As a FTM I was so scared and felt almost clueless as to what to do or what to expect. Robin was there every step of the way. She is very knowledgeable and breaks information down so that it is relatable and easy to understand. I appreciate her and Malisha so much for the love, support and guidance they provided. I definitely recommend!

Once I found CuraNatal took my insurance, they handled the rest and it was so easy to get connected with a doula without any hassle of dealing with any billing. Just a few emails back and forth and I was ready for services. I even utilized a postpartum lactation consultant that I didn’t know would be covered. They have all kinds of services to offer and I would highly recommend!

Second time client of Tias! I first used Tia's services 2 years ago where I was successful with my first medicated VBAC birth. As soon as I received my positive pregnancy test with my third baby, I KNEW Tia was going to be hired again! Even my husband, who was first against hiring a doula, was quick to ask if I already contacted Tia when I announced to him our 3rd pregnancy :) Tia did it again! She was the support I knew I needed for this 3rd birth and with her encouragement and belief in me, I was able to have an unmedicated 2VBAC! According to my husband, this is our last baby haha so I wanted to take advantage of Tia's placenta print she offers. I am so happy I decided on that because Tia made us the most beautiful placenta print which incorporated all three of our children. If another baby were to magically happen for me in the future, Tia will OF COURSE be hired again, without a question! And anyone I know in need of support for their births in the future, I will without a doubt recommend Tia. Thank you TIA!!!

Christine is a wonderful human being who made our birth experience so much better! After having unexpected changes to our labor, complications at birth, and a dramatic start to baby’s life, we are so grateful for Christine’s dedicated, steady presence, advocacy for our wishes, and commitment to supporting us when things weren’t going as planned. She provided us with resources for labor, induction, breastfeeding, and support for my spouse, in order to best prepare for this vulnerable and beautiful birth experince of our first child! Anyone who meets her can recognize her genuine passion and love of being a doula! Forever grateful our paths crossed and allowed this partnership to happen!

Our experience with Liz was truly wonderful! With Liz, you will feel safe, heard, & held through one of the most important moments of your life. When we initially spoke, it was probably 2 minutes into the conversation when we knew she was the right doula. The call ended, my husband & I looked at each other & immediately said, "I LOVED her." Liz laid out everything that we should expect, & did it in a way where we didn't feel judged. Others had tried to convince us that we had unresolved trauma, or had made mistakes in previous births. Liz's trust in us knowing what we needed was so reassuring. During the pregnancy, Liz is there if you need her, checking in to see how appts. went, & getting a feel for your mindset approaching birth. Liz was vital in my ability to remain calm as my due date came, then passed by 9 days! We discussd ways to help encourage labor, different scenarios as 42 weeks approached, & reassurances that my baby & body knew what they were doing. Being a 3rd time mom I really thought I knew it all, but when things went so much longer than we all expected, I was so grateful to have Liz's calm & confident presence. At OBC, Liz arrived exactly when I needed her. She easily fit into the flow of labor offering assistance to me, & guiding my husband to help through contractions. Liz understands when to step to the forefront, & also when to hang back. Her experience & presence in the birthing space made me feel more supported & calm than I had previously. My labor was fast, but I never felt like I lost control. Liz took stunning photos during birth, capturing all of the phases of labor, recovery, & beautiful shots of the baby. The photos will be cherished by our family for the rest of our lives! Liz doesn't disappear after you're done having the baby. She checks in during your recovery at home, & even comes to visit. We loved working with Liz!

Five Stars Isn't Enough for Ms. Riley There are some people who come into your life during your darkest moments and leave a permanent impact. For me, that person was Ms. Riley. I hired Ms. Riley as my NICU Doula while pregnant with my twins, and from the very beginning she was by my side. She was there for my birth, she supported me throughout the entire three months that my twins were in the NICU, and after they were discharged, she continued caring for my babies as our NICU Newborn Care Specialist for an additional three months. In total, Ms. Riley walked alongside my family for six incredibly important months of our journey. What makes her support even more meaningful is the fact that I had no family support system. During my pregnancy, my husband decided to divorce me when I was only four months pregnant with twins. I was facing one of the most difficult seasons of my life, feeling scared, overwhelmed, and alone. Through it all, Ms. Riley was a constant source of support, encouragement, and compassion. Ms. Riley has a way of making every mother feel seen, heard, and cared for. She affectionately calls us her "baby mothers," and I have to admit, that always made me laugh during a time when I desperately needed something to smile about. It may seem like a small thing, but her ability to bring comfort, humor, and warmth into difficult situations is truly a gift. She consistently went above and beyond for me and my twins. Whether it was providing guidance, emotional support, newborn care expertise, or simply being present when I needed someone most, she showed up every single time. I never felt judged, rushed, or alone. Instead, I felt supported, empowered, and capable as a first-time mother navigating an unexpected and challenging journey. Ms. Riley, it is so clear that this is your calling. The love, dedication, patience, and commitment you bring to your families cannot be taught. You have a rare gift, and I truly believe doors will continue to open for you because of the impact you have on the lives of mothers and babies. We need more people like you, not only in newborn care but throughout the healthcare industry as a whole. I will absolutely be booking Ms. Riley's services again when I'm ready to return to work, even though I work remotely, because the peace of mind she provides is priceless. I am giving Ms. Riley five stars, but honestly, stars don't come close to describing how she made me feel. If you truly understand what a halo represents, then that's what she deserves: unlimited halos. Thank you, Ms. Riley, for helping me survive and thrive during one of the hardest and most beautiful chapters of my life. I will be forever grateful.

Where do I even begin! I feel so blessed that I found Brana and Dawn. Their presence and energy made my transition into motherhood so...sacred, special, and grounded. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but both women have a special energy that is sturdy but gentle. And together, the combination is perfect. Very complementary. Having Brana and Dawn helped the tail end of my pregnancy feel very supported. It was nice having their expertise and advice, and not just my OB's perspective. Brana was at my birth and honestly, I credit her (and all the amazing nurses) for everything during my birth. I could honestly go on and on, but will leave it at...you will not regret having them on your team!

Alyssa is not only an incredible doula, but also one of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure of knowing. With her vast knowledge of pregnancy and childbirth, she helped me to truly figure out what I wanted and needed. Without her I can't imagine having the incredible birth experience I had! Alyssa's postpartum care is what really sets her apart. She guided me through breastfeeding challenges, fed me nutritious food, and helped around the house to make sure I could rest and focus on my transition to motherhood. It was such an incredible gift to be able to soak in those first days with such peace and support. I am forever grateful for her, and can't recommend her enough!

I'm thrilled to share about the amazing help we received from Kelly Hickman as our sibling support doula. Kelly's commitment and knowledge were truly outstanding. She managed to take care of our older child while also providing invaluable assistance to our birth doula during my wife's home birth. Kelly offered us two home visits prior to the birth of our daughter to answer all of our questions and to spend quality one on one time with our 3 year old son, engaging with him in his favorite activities. She took pictures with him so we could look at them together as a family and talk with him about how his friend Kelly was going to come back and play with him soon when mommy was having his baby sister. She really took the time to bond and form a genuine connection with him, and because of that, he very much looked forward to his time with her when she finally returned for the birth. Her sincere care, attentiveness, and ability to handle multiple tasks made a significant impact during this important time for our family. Kelly's presence provided comfort and reassurance, and her dedication to the well-being of both my children was truly extraordinary. I'm incredibly thankful for her exceptional support and wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled doula.

As first time parents planning a home birth, we knew having a doula would be important navigating all things pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. From our first time meeting Rebecca through a zoom call, we could feel her genuine love and dedication she has for birth work. After a very long, hard labor I birthed our daughter into the world in our bedroom. I truly could not have had the home birth I envisioned without Rebecca by my side the entire time. If you are looking for a doula with many years experience, who knows when to observe, and when to make suggestions during labor- Rebecca is your gal! She'll be your biggest cheerleader and a steady force when you it most. We couldn't be happier to have Rebecca as part of our care team, and made all the difference in our birthing story.

Lavonne was truly a blessing throughout one of the most important seasons of my life. From our very first meeting, she was professional, warm, and carried such a peaceful light about her that I instantly knew she was meant to be my doula. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but she is also genuine, loving, and deeply caring. She provided me and my husband with so many resources, honest guidance, and valuable information that helped us feel prepared and confident during my first pregnancy. She always kept it real, answered every question with patience, and made the entire journey feel personal instead of transactional. Although my birth plan changed unexpectedly and I had to have an emergency C-section instead of delivering at the birthing center, Lavonne still showed up for me in every way. She drove over an hour to the hospital to be there by my side, supported me emotionally, made sure my baby had everything she needed, helped with latching, and continued checking on us afterward. That level of care is rare. Lavonne does this from the heart, and it shows. She treats her clients like family and truly goes above and beyond. I am so thankful for her and honored to have had her as part of this experience. If you are considering hiring a doula, do not hesitate—Lavonne is amazing. Highly recommend.
