There was a time when every village had a wise woman — someone who knew the rhythms of the body, the ways of plants, and the quiet strength of birth. That’s the kind of care I offer. I’m Nichole — a mother, student midwife, and herbalist walking in the footsteps of generations before me. My work is rooted in faith, guided by traditional knowledge, and grounded in the belief that your body was wonderfully made. At The ReWild Birth Collective, I offer wholistic care for the childbearing years and beyond — care that sees the whole woman: body, mind, spirit, and story. With plant medicine, prayer, and time-tested tools, I walk alongside you through pregnancy and healing — offering care that strengthens your body and honors your intuition. This isn’t about doing it all “naturally” or perfectly. It’s about remembering what your body already knows — and being supported by someone who can hold space when things get tender, messy, or unknown.

Greetings, Bornbir family, I’m Alexis, a full-spectrum community doula and the founder of Mama Umi Doula Services & Reproductive Health Education. Welcome to my little corner of Bornbir! My passion for birthwork runs deep. I’ve had the privilege of working as a patient care technician in postpartum and labor & delivery hospital units, supporting families from all walks of life. While I valued learning from healthcare providers, I also witnessed firsthand how these systems—rooted in oppression and racism—too often fail black, brown, and indigenous BIPOC) birthing people. Beyond the hospital setting, I’ve served as a midwife’s assistant in a small home birth practice in Elizabeth City, NC, supporting families who desired a different birthing experience. I have also volunteered as a doula through a community doula network, offering care to birthing people in need, including teenagers, individuals struggling with substance abuse, and single parents facing financial barriers. I believe that all birthing people deserve options, autonomy, and care that honors their lived experiences—whether in a hospital, at home, or anywhere in between. My work is deeply rooted in love, revolutionary joy, transformation, creativity, and ancestral healing. As your doula and community sister, my mission is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel empowered, informed, and deeply supported in every decision you make. I offer: ✨ Holistic birth & postpartum support ✨ Reproductive health education ✨ Advocacy for accessible & equitable care If my approach aligns with what you envision for your journey, let’s connect! I’d love to support you in whatever way feels right for you. Book a consultation, and let’s build together. Much love and looking forward to meeting you! Alexis | Mama Umi Doula Services

Hi mama! I’m Arabella a doulatog (doula + photographer.) I believe birth is sacred — not just a medical event, but a deeply personal, spiritual, and transformative experience. Every woman carries the wisdom to birth within her. My role is not to direct or manage your experience, but to gently support you as you listen to your body, trust your instincts, and move through birth in your own powerful way. I believe in honoring birth as a physiological and primal process — one that thrives with movement, safety, warmth, and love. I draw on nature-based wisdom, traditional postpartum care, and hands-on comfort measures to create a cocoon of support where you can soften and surrender. Whether you're birthing at home, in a hospital, or somewhere in between, I center your voice, your values, and your vision. Birth is not something to be feared or controlled — it’s something to be witnessed, held, and honored. I walk alongside you — offering calm, steady presence, holistic care, and heart-led advocacy — so you never feel alone on this journey.
