Joy Day

Hi! I’m Joy, a registered nurse turned doula with a deep passion for family, holistic wellness, and empowering women to make confident, informed choices throughout their birth journeys. My background in nursing gives me a strong foundation in evidence-based care, while my heart is rooted in nurturing, education, and emotional support. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll find me baking something homemade, tending to my garden, or spending time with the three little people I love most. After years in nursing, I felt called to follow my deeper passion: walking alongside women as they bring new life into the world. I believe birth is a natural and sacred experience, one that unfolds best when women are trusted, respected, and supported. My approach blends medical knowledge with a holistic perspective, honoring the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. It’s my greatest joy to help each woman feel seen, cared for, and empowered to make the choices that best serve her family and body. I’d be honored to be part of your story.

Hello friends!! I wanted to properly introduce myself. My name is Kendall Francis. I am a christian certified birth doula. I serve mama’s in the Fort Mill and Charlotte surrounding areas during pregnancy and postpartum. I am married to my best friend, Collin Francis and we just had the most perfect baby girl, Saylor Grace Francis, born at home on July 31st, 2022. Our hearts are so full! I became a doula because I am so passionate about everything pregnancy and birth but most importantly because I believe women and their families need such a strong support system during this season in their life. I worked in the hospital system for almost 4 years on several different units from ER to maternity, went to nursing school and got my LPN degree all to realize I wanted nothing more than to support women holistically. I believe with all my heart that it is OUR decision as women how our pregnancy journey should turn out and WE have the control, not our providers. That is where I come in as your doula to help educate and advocate for you every step of the way no matter what you decide for your birth. Whether that be at home, at a birthing center or a hospital, I will be by your side. If you would like to connect and talk more about your dream birth feel free to send me a message! I am so excited to meet you and your family!

Kendall is truly one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met. From the moment I met her I knew I wanted her as my doula. She made me feel loved, comforted, cared for, amongst so many other things. For my birth, she came as soon as I felt I needed support and stayed through the postpartum period, over 24 hours. She didn’t even talk about leaving me during this time and stayed through it ALL. She supported every decision I made, encouraged me to make position changes to help progress my labor, prayed over me, held a fan to my face for HOURS, spoke kindly and softly and was just everything I needed. She started as my doula and I now consider her one of my closest friends. I love her so much. She’s truly made for this!

Hi, I’m Julie. I’m so glad you’re here! My passion for birth and motherhood started at a young age. All I ever wanted to be was a mom. After I had my fifth baby I felt sad realizing that this part of my life was over. I soon discovered that my calling to serve mamas as a birth doula however was just beginning. My hubby has been there beside me through it all as our children have been born naturally in both hospital and home settings. I use that firsthand knowledge now to serve you with not just my rigorous training and certification through Birth Arts International, but also through my own personal experience. I was introduced to essential oils in 2014, and every day since then has been a family journey to more natural patterns of health and wellness. I have seen and experienced success time after time using the oils throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and with a newborn. I feel confident in my ability to protect my family’s health no matter what is going on around us, and that’s something I enjoy paying forward to other moms and families.

Hi, I’m Kelsey! Your Full Spectrum Doula. Full spectrum means that I support all birth and perinatal journeys: medicated, unmedicated, in a tub, in a hospital, in a meadow with a flower crown on. Full spectrum also means that I support all parents! Black, brown, white, queer, cis, trans, gay, straight, bi, pan, poly, every person, every family deserves excellent doula care. I believe that birth is better with loving, educated support. Studies show that parents with doulas are happier with their birth outcomes, even when things don’t go 100% as planned. As your doula, I will teach you about birthing positions, comfort measures, pros and cons of medical interventions, and how to prepare your body to give birth. I will help you form a birth plan that is perfect for you and your needs. Your birth, your way. Reach out today for a free consultation!

My name is Rachel Campbell. I'm a 30-something wife and mama to two crazy kiddos and one dog. I have been immersed in the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum world since 2017 and had two amazing doula-attended births of my own. I decided to take the plunge into doula work in 2021. I completed my CAPPA training in November of 2021 and I'm working toward my official certification. I've seen firsthand what it's like to have long and difficult labors, challenging physical and/or emotional recoveries in the postpartum period, and just about every breastfeeding struggle in the book. It is my hope that the skills I've learned in finding good help and working to identify solutions that aid both Mama AND Baby in equal measure can help other families.

I love helping others and am truly passionate about contributing to the greater good with small acts of kindness every day. My heart is in this work. In high school I learned how much I loved working with kids and their families. When I received consistent praise for my abilities, I committed to nannying for a livelihood. Nineteen years and many episodes of "One Born Every Minute," "A Baby Story," and "Maternity Ward" later, I am pursuing something that has been on my mind since childhood. Through my own therapeutic work and reproductive journey, I knew I had much more to offer than just childcare. I have always been fascinated by the human body and its capabilities during conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Newborn and child development have always been at the forefront of my mind and something I love witnessing as a nanny and aunt. I have been a lifelong learner in these topics. I also love encouraging birthing folx to be empowered and confident in their choices and experiences instead of feeling embarrassment, shame, inferiority, or fear. So, here I am: mindful, present, and full of hope for the futures of new families and children everywhere. Here’s to lifelong learning and growing together to create a kinder, more compassionate, and inclusive world. ​

I am a doula, IBCLC, and student midwife. I believe in physiological birth and breastfeeding. I think all women deserve support prenatally, during birth, and breastfeeding.

Recent review

I had an amazing experience working with Tesia as my doula for our fourth baby. We had a homebirth and Tesia helped make it a smooth and positive experience. I looked forward to our visits and she was so easy to talk to and always made me feel at peace about my birth plan. She is very knowledgeable about physiological birth and a wealth of knowledge! Highly recommend adding Tesia to your birth team!

Welcome to Nest and Nurture Doula Services holding space for your journey into parenthood. My name is Patricia, and I believe that birth is not just a physical event—it’s a sacred passage. As a doula and the heart behind Nest and Nurture Doula Services, I walk beside families during one of the most sensitive, powerful, and life-shaping moments: the creation of new life. Every birth is unique, every mother is different, and every family has its own rhythm. My role is to tune in, listen deeply, and support you in the way that you need most. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I tailor my care around your needs—whether that means offering grounding techniques during labor, emotional support for your partner, or simply being a calm, steady presence in the room. My philosophy is simple: when your mind feels safe and supported, your body can do what it was divinely designed to do. My goal is to empower your thoughts so your body can flow with strength, peace, and purpose. At Nest and Nurture Doula Services, we’re not just witnessing a birth—we’re helping nurture the legacy of love, resilience, and belonging you’re creating for your child. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to hold your hand, honor your choices, and walk with you—one breath, one wave, one beautiful moment at a time.
