"I wish I knew about this sooner!" I hear this phrase frequently by newer parents. A s a Doula, I provide more than ice chips and a hand to crush during labor. I specialize in perinatal anxiety & mood disorders (PMAD) and provide education, resources, and support for those who think they may, or are already experiencing PMAD's. This transition is hard. It's not just welcoming home a new baby, it's radically accepting a new identity, a new routine, a new personality of yourselves. Theres no reason to have to struggle through alone thinking something is wrong with you. This is very common. I'd love to help you adjust in the ways that matter; relevant education, real-life local resources, and hands-on support.

Hello, my name is Laura-Ann Broggin and I am a fertility coach, birth doula, postpartum doula, and lactation counselor. My love and passion is to support women during the most trying and rewarding times in their lives!

I’m Chantel Spinner, a certified birth and postpartum doula, lactation support counselor, and PAIL (Pregnancy and Infant Loss) advocate proudly serving Lynchburg, Virginia, and surrounding areas. A Lynchburg native, wife, and mother of two incredible daughters, I bring not just professional training, but lived experience and deep roots in this community. I hold a degree in Sociology with minors in Human Services and Gender Studies from Randolph College, and I am also a Notary Public for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Supporting pregnant individuals is more than my profession — it’s my calling. As a strong advocate for reproductive justice, I am committed to creating safe, empowering spaces where bodily autonomy is respected, voices are amplified, and compassionate care is the norm. Witnessing the staggering disparities in maternal health — particularly the alarming maternal mortality rates among Black women — fueled my passion to become a doula. Through The Melanin Fluent Doula, I offer culturally fluent, holistic support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum journey. My services are designed to nurture, empower, and educate families as they navigate one of the most profound transitions of their lives. Beyond birthwork, I am a certified peristeam facilitator, trained through Steamy Chick, after personally experiencing the benefits of vaginal steaming for menstrual wellness. In 2021, I earned certification as a lactation support counselor, committed to bridging the gaps in breastfeeding support for Black families and creating a more inclusive, informed community. I am also a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Advocate, dedicated to providing compassionate support for those navigating grief and loss — an area where support is deeply needed and too often overlooked. Currently, I am expanding my knowledge as an amateur herbalist, reconnecting with the healing traditions of my Black southern heritage and grounding my practice in holistic wellness. I may not be able to change all outcomes, but I believe deeply that I can impact my community — one birth, one family, one moment at a time.

Hi, my name is Grace Brian and I’m a birth doula and birth photographer in the Roanoke Valley! I specifically love supporting people through hospital births and teaching them how to advocate for themselves in the modern healthcare system!

I am a L.E.O (Law Enforcement Officer) Wife, mom to the most wonderful tiny humans you will ever meet and have the craziest fur baby (dog) that adopted us and fits in this family perfectly. I am from Newport News, Va now residing in Roanoke, Va. I am a strong believer in parent's right to choose and believe that parents are fully capable to make decisions for their families. I have been helping mothers with lactation and birthing for the past 13 years and am a life time learner. I actively pursue continuing education to maintain my clinical skills and to stay current with the changes in evidence and practices

Jaden is a birth doula, a Lamaze childbirth educator and a breastfeeding peer counselor. She has experience working with couples, un-partnered parents, BIPOC families, interracial/intercultural families, LGBTQIA+ families, medicated/unmedicated births, cesarean births, high + low risk birthing people, advanced maternal age, survivors of domestic violence, survivors of sexual abuse, and larger bodied birthing people. Jaden is a firm believer that everyBODY deserves the right to bodily autonomy and choice. EveryBODY deserves access to a doula. Jaden has strong interests in herbal and natural remedies and enjoys grounding herself in nature. When she isn’t spending her time learning or at a birth, she is either spending quality time with her two pups, Bear and Junie, nose deep in a book, or practicing her (not so perfect) yoga flow! Her calm presence changes the energy in every room she steps into.
