Hi, I’m Beth…a DONA-trained Birth & Postpartum Doula with a heart for empowering women and supporting families as they grow. While I may be “newer” to the formal doula world, my passion and experience run deep. For decades, I’ve walked alongside families through pregnancy, birth, and the tender early days of parenthood—helping mamas feel seen, supported, and confident in their strength. I’m the proud mother of one amazing adult human who has flown the nest to the fresh air and beauty of the NC mountains. My journey into birth work began more than twenty years ago during my own pregnancy, when I discovered the transformative power of being truly supported and held in that sacred season. Since then, I’ve continued to learn and grow—earning my B.A. and M.Ed. in Education and gaining a wealth of hands-on experience nurturing families and little ones. My deep interest in natural health, social–emotional development, and attachment has inspired me to pursue further training in infant mental health, dyadic relationships, children’s yoga, and herbalism. I believe in caring for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and in meeting each family exactly where they are. When I work with families, my goal is to hold space for birth and postpartum experiences that feel calm, connected, and empowering. I blend evidence-based practices with a gentle, holistic approach that honors each mother’s intuition and journey. One of my favorite quotes beautifully reflects what I believe: “Whenever & however you give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, & your spirit for the rest of your life.” ~Ina May Gaskin

We’ve been giving birth for thousands of years and I deeply trust our body’s innate ability to go through the birthing process.

I am currently not taking any new clients, but I wish you the best in your search!

Hello! My name is Alyssa Reynolds, and I'm a childbirth educator located in Cary, NC. I'm passionate about supporting women and families in their birth choices. Whether you’re planning a hospital, birth center, or home birth, my goal is to help expecting parents feel prepared for labor, birth, and breastfeeding! I graduated from Duke University with degrees in English and cultural anthropology. I knew I wanted to be a childbirth educator when I gave birth to my daughter in 2015. My husband and I had used The Bradley Method® to prepare, and we had the most amazing water birth. I was so proud of myself for achieving my birth goals, and I loved how we worked together as a couple. I felt strong and empowered during my births, and I want all women to have the same positive experience.

Hi! I'm Elizabeth! I have been a doula since 2015. I am a mother of two boys. I love to serve women in education, labor and delivery. My belief is that women were created to birth.

I believe the support that women receive in birth can make a tremendous difference in labor and the result of birth. It would be my joy to come alongside of you to encourage you and assist you in every need that arises.

Hello, my name is LaDysha, pronounced (La-Day-Shu). I am a highly motivated and certified birth doula here in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I'm significantly close to Fort Liberty (formerly known as Fort Bragg). Outside of birthing my own children, I have always known I would be a part of helping bring new life into the world in some fashion.

I feel I have more space to support, encourage, and empower my clients as a birth doula. My practice encompasses natural and pure vibrations, from language to listening and following the body's natural instincts. Along with my knowledge of positions during labor, as a certified prenatal yoga instructor, I will also be able to help you enhance your understanding of your body and how to prepare it for childbirth. I look forward to the opportunity to interview with you and be a part of such a precious time in your life. ***Due to not getting the notifications from this platfrom frequently, Please reach out to me directly via email at Diosadoula8@gmail.com.
