I am an experienced childcare professional with a strong background in newborn, infant, and toddler care. My approach is rooted in both nurturing care and practical structure, with special training in Montessori methods and newborn care practices. I am also in my final year at Arizona State University, completing a Bachelor’s degree in Educational Studies with a concentration in Early Childhood Studies. This program has deepened my understanding of children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development, while also giving me hands-on practicum experience working with young children. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and resourceful. I value open communication with parents and strive to create a safe, calm, and engaging environment where children can thrive. My goal is always to partner with families to meet their unique needs while fostering a loving, supportive atmosphere for their children.

Annie worked with my family for around 2 years. When she started, my daughter was 3 months and we were first time parents feeling like we were completely lost. Annie stepped in right away and helped guide not only our daughter but us as well on providing the best environment for our daughter. My daughter grew up with Annie for her first 2 years of life and became another true care giver to her. We always knew our daughter was in safe hands and are extremely thankful for what Annie provided our daughter and our family.

HIYA FRIEND! I ENJOY HELPING MOMS KNOW THEIR STRENGTH IN BIRTH & HOW TO REST IN POSTPARTUM. When I started studying birth work, I knew it was my calling. I zoned into it and fell in love so hard that I can talk about babies and birth any time of any day. In labor, I rejoice in seeing a woman break free in her body and focus on the bond with her baby. In postpartum, I treasure getting to see a family welcome their newest member + seeing mom resting and healing.

Megan is truly the best! Hiring her was the best decision my husband and I made with our second child. I went into labor 5 weeks early and she was by my side the entire time. She advocated for me and helped me through all my contractions. If you are looking for a doula - megan is the best! Thank you again for everything Megan!

My journey began in 2014, after watching the documentary, The Business of Being Born. I was shocked at how medical and sterile birth had become and how unfairly some pregnant people are treated. From there, I spent the next three years devouring anything and everything related to birth. I attended my first birth as a doula (unknowingly) in 2017 when my goddaughter was born, and I fell in love with doula work. I married my husband in late 2017, and in early 2019 I found out I was pregnant with my first child. My pregnancy was one of the most enjoyable times of my life. I gave birth vaginally in a hospital transfer from Atlanta Birth Center, to Atlanta Medical Center in November 2019. I have my birth team to thank for solidifying my passion for other people to have the experience I was blessed with. ​I believe information is our greatest tool. I will provide you with evidence-based information from a holistic standpoint. Outside of being a doula, I love to travel. I enjoy visiting new and familiar places with my family. I love cooking, reading, and listening to crime podcasts. I never turn down a taco or a glass of champagne.

Hi! I'm Sarah and a mom of a Sleep Wise graduate. I can help you find a quick, gentle solution to your child's sleep problems! I am a certified pediatric sleep consultant. I give parents the tools they need to help them teach their child to sleep at night...and naps too! My approach to improving your child's sleep is pretty simple: 1. I will give you honest information about WHY sleep is so important for your child's well-being. (This will give you all the motivation you need to make changes to your child's sleep habits.) 2. I will lay out an easy-to-follow, step-by-step plan that lets you make some choices about what is the right approach for your child. (All children are different, and nobody knows your child better than you do. I encourage you to use your knowledge of your child to customize his or her sleep plan.) 3. I will show you how to measure success. (No, you shouldn't expect your child to sleep 12 uninterrupted hours on the first night -- although it does happen! I will also tell you what you should expect along the way.) This will all be available to you in a two week program that would include a one to one consultation, phone calls, and email support. Thanks to modern technology if you aren't in my area, we can consult via a phone call.

I am passionate about empowering birthing families to actively prepare for childbirth. Through my own experiences, I felt that there was a gap in labor support between healthcare professionals and labor partners. Many birthing people I have interacted with describe fear and apprehension as they approached their labor. Even more tragically, many birthing families have expressed disappointment or even trauma from a birth experience that felt poorly communicated, emergent, and out of their control. Part of my mandate is to know the limitations of the healthcare system and to educate families to advocate for their own birth using current and evidence-based information. Not knowing what you do not know can lead to overwhelming decisions and out-of-control situations. I also provide experienced, trained hands-on support during the labor to create a consistent, personalized, and safe environment which can decrease the need for medical interventions and increase overall birth satisfaction.

I am 26 years old, and am a registered nurse currently working nightshift in the postpartum unit helping both moms and newborn babies. I have 5+ years of previous nanny experience before I attended college, and I have also worked in a preschool/daycare setting with children ages 6weeks-12yrs. Due to my profession, I have expert knowledge of newborn safety and feeding practices. I am also trained in lactation techniques. Postpartum care is also included in my profession. I can answer questions, help with positioning, and help change pads or check for bleeding if needed. Newborn babies are my passion, and I am so happy to be working in a field where I get to help and educate families all night long. However, I have 4 extra days per week that I'd like to be filled with more swaddles and snuggles.

I am a dedicated doula with a passion for providing gentle and holistic care to expectant families. My journey into the world of birth support began with a deep belief in the power of natural and holistic approaches to childbirth. Within the last year, I have become a trusted companion for families seeking a nurturing and empowering birthing experience. Specializing in natural and holistic care, i understand the importance of creating a supportive environment that aligns with the unique needs and desires of each client. My commitment to gentle care is evident in my approach, which emphasizes emotional support, mindfulness, and personalized attention throughout the entire birthing process. I have a particular expertise in water births and home births, recognizing the benefits these options can bring to a more relaxed and intimate birthing setting. I believe in the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit during childbirth and strive to create an atmosphere that fosters a sense of tranquility and empowerment. One of my greatest strengths lies in my dedication to helping clients make informed choices about their care. I provide comprehensive information, ensuring that expectant parents have the knowledge and confidence to make decisions aligned with their values and preferences. I understand that each birthing journey is unique, and I tailor my support to honor the individual choices and beliefs of the families she serves. My commitment to gentle and holistic care extends beyond the birthing room, as I continue to offer postpartum support to new parents.

Quazy was absolutely incredible! My husband and I were first time parents, and she was so warm and inviting. The morning my water broke, I called her at 3AM and she zoomed over within the hour. We were having a home birth, and she got there and immediately set up pur birth room, all the while, gently talking to my husband and I. She was so sweet, especially to him, as he looked like a deer in headlights and froze up when he realized it was really happening, and our daughter would be here soon. By the time my midwife arrived, I was already having some pretty intense contractions. While our midwife wanted us to head to a hospital for the pain, Quazy was able to center me and remind me that I wanted to do a natural birth, and we only needed to leave if something was "wrong." We waited another hour after this, and I was able to deliver my beautiful girl all on my own. I loved that Quazy was there for me to lean on when I was scared, and I am eternally grateful for how strongly she believed in me

Hello, My name is Tiffany, Self Love Doula and Parent Coach. I am available to provide emotional, physical, spiritual and informational support to birthing people throughout your birth journey. Although we often think of fertility and birthing only in biological terms, our fertility is also a measure of our willingness to plant and tend seeds of growth within and outside of ourselves. I want to help empower anyone who identifies as a birthing person or with the divine feminine principles of creativity and fertility.—pregnant or not, woman or not, mother or not. I use my experiences and story as a doula, health administrator, and mother to share tools and best practices in the areas of creativity, spirituality, and intimacy that have helped me in my journey.

Cory Atkins became my Doula during my sixth month of pregnancy. Before connecting with her, I was not going to use the service for my homebirth as I was not sold on the benefit after meeting with doulas in the Atlanta area and coming up unsuccessful due to feeling like a number for materialistic gain. After connecting and consulting with Cory, she completely changed that for me. I truly felt like my spirit was waiting for her. She is extremely intuitive, passionate about connecting with the clients she takes on and exudes a natural maternal power through knowledge and touch that blew me away. Her energy is very calming and welcoming, just like an old friend. After our initial consultation, she jumped right in and missed not one beat. I was able to open up to her easily and dig through layers of the emotional aspects of pregnancy that I was silently dealing with and go through my thoughts around having my first child naturally at home with all that is happening in the world . Cory was the complete package for me. She is very aware of energy and will not hesitate to remain flexible by checking in when she feels the need, scheduling extra sessions or even going virtual. As I reached the end of this pregnancy, her services shifted to comfort management, where she also educated my partner, and prepared my mind for the labor process. She is truly a gem of extreme benefit to anything that she is a part of and I am so grateful for the value she adds to my journey daily. Passion Burcy, First time mom
