Hello! My name is Scarlett. I’m the oldest of 7 children from a military family. I have prior experience working in hospice care for 7 years.

Namaste! I’m Tory Whitney; birth and postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, sleep consultant, mindfulness and Hypno Babies, educator, intuitive guide, and author of Sacred Sleep on Amazon. I am the founder of Whispering Lullabies, bringing 7 years of perinatal experience and over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience into the families I serve. I support parents through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and infant sleep with a calm, regulation-first, whole-family approach that honors both science and intuition. As a sleep consultant, my work is guided by a core belief: sleep is not forced or trained through distress—it is conditioned through safety, nervous-system regulation, and connection. I blend evidence-based physiology, nervous-system education, mindfulness, and intuitive attunement to help babies and parents settle into sustainable sleep rhythms—without rigid or one-size-fits-all methods. My birth and postpartum services mirror this belief. I believe parenthood is more than a transition—it is a sacred awakening. My mission is to help families feel seen, supported, and deeply aligned with their instincts as they move through birth, bonding, and beyond. Through in-home and virtual care, I hold space for families to soften, settle, and trust themselves—one breath, one night, one season at a time.

We are a mother daughter team working together to support families during the transition to life with a new baby. We love that we are able to offer something unique to our in-person clients in the Hampton Roads area and our virtual clients all over the US. I, Laurie Ann, am a certified Postpartum Doula. For more than 20 years I have been passionate about serving moms. My goal is to give the new family the confidence to parent; working myself out of a job. I like to say, don’t doula this alone; women need other women especially after giving birth. As a caring professional, I share techniques, tools, and personalized recommendations, to support families emotionally and physically as they transition to life with a newborn. Dani is a new mom herself with a 3 year old daughter and infant son. She has been able to really connect with our clients because she has recently (and currently) been in their shoes. We are also proud to be up to date on our product and vendor recommendations because we have personally utilized these products and services. We are better together! This is Mothering the Mother in the Fourth Trimester.

Hello my name is Meredith and I am a postpartum doula serving the Hampton Roads community!! I offer compassionate support for families during the postpartum period. From newborn care to emotional guidance, I'm here to ensure every family feels empowered and nurtured.

I am a local to Virginia Beach, and although I plan to stay here long term, my heart also has a home in Hawaii where I spent a few years in my twenties. I love to adventure, design, have community and learn new things! I spend 100% of the time being a mother to two absolutely, wildly amazing children, and being a wife to my long-time sweet heart. I have had beautiful home births with both my children and I would love to have more children! My dream is grow a business that not only supports my family, but over all, supports woman and families all of the world so that we as mothers and as families feel the most confident and empowered that we have ever felt as a community, so that we raise generations of parents and children to be self-sufficient, self-thinkers and rooted in love.

As Dominique— I live for mommy and daughter dates, iced oat milk lattes, home cooked meals, old school R&B, and the sound of ocean waves. As a doula— I live for a grounded, confident, SUPPORTED, and informed client. I am a firm believer that birth should NOT be a traumatic experience. I’m also a firm believer that a well watered mama increases the likelihood of a healthy and happy baby. A doula’s role is to support both mother and child. Together we’ll explore mindfulness techniques, comfort measures, and ensure your toolkit is well equipped for a positive birthing experience. I am happy to discuss breastfeeding techniques, to create a postpartum game plan, to provide herbal teas and natural remedies, to offer customizable meal plans, and to help you design a birth plan. I look forward to supporting you on this journey to parenthood! Let’s connect!

As a doula, I will offer emotional, physical, and informational support, helping to alleviate the fears, anxieties, and traumas that often accompany pregnancy and childbirth. I will advocate for their autonomy, dignity, and human rights, ensuring that their voices are amplified and their choices respected. My goal is not only to provide exceptional care but also to help dismantle the systemic barriers that perpetuate health inequities. I believe that every Black woman deserves to experience a positive, transformative birth experience that leaves her feeling empowered, confident, and connected to her body and her baby.

As a doula, I believe in supporting the birthing person and their partner(s)/birth team wholeheartedly without judgment. Everyone has a birth journey unique to them and I'm honored every time I get to join a family on that journey.

As a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and night nanny, my role is to provide calm, knowledgeable, and compassionate support to your family during the early weeks and months after your baby arrives. Whether you're recovering from birth, navigating feeding challenges, or simply adjusting to your new routine, I’m here to help ease that transition. I offer hands-on assistance with newborn care, emotional support for parents, guidance on infant sleep and feeding, and evidence-based answers to your questions—all with a gentle, nonjudgmental approach tailored to your family’s unique needs and values. During overnight shifts, I help ensure both baby and parents get the rest they need. While you sleep, I care for your baby—handling feedings, diaper changes, soothing, and monitoring—so you can wake up feeling more rested and ready for the day. My goal is to nurture your confidence as parents while providing practical, reliable care so you feel supported, empowered, and less overwhelmed in this tender time. Whether you need a few nights of rest or ongoing support, I’m here to walk alongside you with knowledge, compassion, and respect.

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.

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
