Hi, I’m Siedah Israel, a Certified Labor Doula, Holistic Wellness Practitioner, and Certified Herbalist based in Fredericksburg in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. I’m a wife of 15 years and a homeschooling mother of five. My wellness and birth advocacy journey began with earning a certificate in Massage Therapy from Eastern Virginia Career College in 2018. I later completed my Doula Certification through Germanna Community College in 2024 and graduated with honors in Herbal Studies from the American College of Healthcare Sciences in 2025. I am currently in Phase I of the PEP process as I work toward becoming a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). I have extensive experience supporting families through hospital births, birth center births, and home births. Personally, I have experienced three hospital births and two home births, which deeply informs the care, perspective, and support I offer to the families I serve. When I’m not supporting families, I enjoy homeschooling, spending time outdoors with my children, writing poetry, working on my werewolf novel, and handcrafting natural hair and skincare products. It is a true honor to walk alongside families with compassion, cultural awareness, and grounded support during such a sacred season of life.

I am a Jesus follower, invested mom, joyful homeschooler, a passionate Birth Doula, Christian Childbirth Educator and Breastfeeding Counselor. I accompany women in labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying birth experience. I have received education and completed training for the doula’s role from DONA International and Hartland College, School of Midwifery. I draw on my knowledge and experience to provide emotional and spiritual support, physical comfort and, as needed, communication with the staff to make sure that you have the information you need to make informed decisions in labor. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress and help with relaxation, prayer, soothing touch, positioning and other techniques for comfort.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Bonney Burton, and I'm a certified Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Breastfeeding Consultant trained through DONA International. Before becoming a doula, I spent years as an elementary school teacher, where I discovered my passion for helping others learn with confidence. That experience continues to shape the way I support families today—meeting you with patience, compassion, and practical education every step of the way. I believe every family deserves to feel informed, heard, and empowered throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. My role isn't to tell you what your birth should look like, but to provide evidence-based education, steady encouragement, and unwavering support so you can make the decisions that feel right for you. Supporting women during one of the most transformative moments of their lives isn't just what I do—it's a calling that I'm honored to answer. My greatest hope is that you leave your birth experience feeling confident, respected, and proud of your journey. I'm currently based in the National Capital Region and am available to travel as needed. As the proud spouse of an active-duty service member and a mom to three amazing children, I understand the beauty, unpredictability, and joy that come with family life. You'll usually find me cheering from the sidelines at one of my kids' sporting events, curled up with a good book, enjoying the peace of the beach, or searching for my next favorite place to eat. Thank you for considering me to be part of such a meaningful chapter in your life. It is truly an honor to walk alongside growing families, and I look forward to supporting, encouraging, and celebrating you throughout your birthing journey.

Hi! I’m Nicole and here’s a bit about my story. I became a Birth and Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist because I truly believe parents deserve to feel supported, not overwhelmed, during pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum stage. This season is tender, emotional, and life-changing and my role is to be by your side with compassion, knowledge, and reassurance. I meet families exactly where they are—honoring their choices, their culture, and their intuition. While providing evidence-based guidance and calm, grounded support, and respect for each family’s values, and understanding that there is no “right” way to give birth or parent a newborn. Whether you’re preparing for labor, navigating the early postpartum weeks, or adjusting to life with a new baby, my goal is to create a calm, non-judgmental space where YOU feel confident in your choices and supported every step of the way. My philosophy is centered on nurturing both baby and parent. Whether I’m offering hands-on newborn care, emotional support during birth, my goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and never alone. I focus on promoting rest, recovery, and bonding while helping families establish gentle routines that feel realistic and sustainable. I view my role as both a guide and a steady presence. I believe when parents feel supported, they thrive — and that belief guides every part of the care I provide.

Hello I am Aneya Smith, a Certified Postpartum Doula, wife, mother, and passionate supporter of families who are entering or going through the postpartum experience. After navigating the joys and challenges of my own motherhood journey, I received my Postpartum Doula Certification in 2024 to help others feel truly supported. I believe every parent deserves compassionate care, which is why I pride myself on being empathetic, caring, and affordable. With my 2024 Certification and current CPR/First Aid Training, I provide a safe and nurturing space for your family to bond. Whether it's newborn care, feeding support, or just a helping hand, I'm here to make your transition into parenthood smoother.

I'm a certified postpartum doula and certified breastfeeding specialist living in Richmond, VA. I've been doing this work for over 11 years, and I feel so honored to walk the early months of life with a new baby or babies alongside the families I serve. It's a beautiful, vulnerable time full of questions, joys, and concerns, and I love supporting families through all of it. I have extra training and expertise in supporting breastfeeding/chest feeding, since so many of parents' early concerns revolve around feeding, and there is not enough good lactation help available to most families. I work with first-time parents and those expecting their second, third, or more babies- everyone's needs are a bit different, but everyone can use extra hands and a listening ear during this time of transition. I would love to chat with you to get to know you and your family!

Greetings, families. My name is Ottavia Turner, and I am a full-spectrum birth and postpartum care doula and a traditional midwifery assistant. I support families throughout the entire pregnancy journey, including hands-on support during the labor and birth process, ensuring you feel informed, empowered, and advocated for every step of the way. My services range from birth advocacy, labor support, childbirth education, holistic health practices, postpartum and nanny care, yoga, singing bowl sessions, and homeschool education, and so much more. I became a birth worker after experiencing my own home birth ceremony with my son. It was a deeply magical and transformative experience—one that showed me the power of intentional, supported birth. From that moment on, I knew I was called to support like-minded families in creating a birth experience that aligns with their desires, honors their body, and becomes a memorable and sacred moment for a lifetime.
