Hello everyone! My name is Ashanti Wilson Hale of The Balanced Birth worker. I am a state certified birth and postpartum doula serving the Hampton Roads community. I became a doula due to my own pregnancy experience, which led to mistreatment in hospitals, and an eventual awareness to the hardships woman, especially black woman, face giving birth in this country. Outside of doula work, I am a nutritionist assistant for WIC because I believe in the importance of eating healthy and how that can better many aspects of our lives. In my free time, I love to dance, write poetry, write music, spend time with family, and go on nature walks with my fiancé. It would be my honor to serve you and your family!

I’m a Coastal Virginia mama with a deep love for supporting families. My journey started as a nanny, caring for little ones and walking alongside parents through the early years. That experience sparked a dream—to one day become a doula and support mothers through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Until then, I’m pouring my heart into capturing the real, raw, and beautifully messy moments of motherhood. From growing bellies to tiny fingers wrapped around yours, I’m here to tell your story—start to finish.

Amazing! 10/10 Juile made my whole birth experience super enjoyable. From coming up with a birth plan suitable for me to being by our side during labor and delivery. I'm honestly so blessed she was able to help me birth my first baby boy. Birth itself is nerve wracking but she made me feel very comfortable with how knowledgeable and supportive she is. She not only took stress off my plate but also my partners allowing him to be present during labor and delivery.
