Hey there! I'm Jenn Carlson, your friendly neighborhood doula! I call Springfield, VA home, where I live with my husband, Eddie—a rock musician who moonlights as a film critic. (Or maybe it’s the other way around? Either way, there's a lot of passionate reviews in my house!). I spent over two decades as an IT pro and a stage manager before diving headfirst into my most exciting production: raising two amazing daughters. Both of their births were high-drama—think less "rom-com" and more "medical thriller." But those experiences sparked a fire in me to help other women feel empowered during labor, and thus began my journey as a doula. Since 2013, I've been lucky enough to attend over 700 births and help nearly 300 new moms recover through the magical art of placenta encapsulation (yes, it’s a thing and it’s awesome). I'm a CBI and DONA Trained, Madriella Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, a Childbirth Educator, an AHA Infant and Pediatric First Aid and CPR instructor, a certified Reiki practitioner, and a placenta encapsulation specialist. Whew, that’s a mouthful! My goal? To be whatever my clients need. Natural-minded or more into the medical approach, I’m here to make sure you have the birth experience you want—with all the options on the table. My definition of a successful birth? One where the mom feels respected, empowered, and ready to write her own birth story, no matter how her baby arrives. Because education is key, I teach breastfeeding, infant CPR, newborn care, and childbirth classes. I've got experience with Bradley and Hypnobirthing techniques, and I bring along my trusty rebozo and TENS unit to help families through labor. I also have special training to support moms who have experienced trauma or loss, and a big, soft spot for high-risk mothers like me who need to know they have options. So whether you’re looking for a bit of guidance, a lot of support, or just someone to laugh with while you figure it all out—I’m here for you!

Hi a Postpartum Doula and have been serving families in Hampton Roads since 2016. I am a homeschooling mama of 4. I found that I loved support mothers postpartum.

My name is Santrice and I am a DONA trained, faith based, Christian doula located in Henrico VA. My mission is to provide mothers with a positive, calming, stress-free experience. Because every birth is unique, I adapt to each individual, based on their needs. By focusing on relaxation, safety and pain management my goal is to keep intervention at a minimum but also provide reassurance for mom to do what's best for her and her baby. I have 16 years of experience as a nanny, as well and 10 years as a senior caregiver. Being able to show love, support, and companionship mentally, physically and emotionally has always been my passion. As a child, I wanted to become an ob-gyn but was not able to take that route due to unpredictable life circumstances. Now that I've overcome those obstacles, I am excited to be of service to moms and families across the world. As your doula, I look forward to being part of your pregnancy journey to create memories that will last a lifetime!

Hi, my name is Autumn! As a postpartum doula it is my honor to take care of you during your postpartum period. It is my goal that every mother have a smooth transition whether you are a new mom or a mom of more than one child. I am a mother to three wonderful children ages 4,2, and 10 months. After the birth of my first child I sat there in the hospital bed thinking, "what now? what do I do with this baby?" It was a terrible feeling, and in that moment I had never felt more alone. Shortly after I developed postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression. These feelings were really challenging to deal with and taught me that it is important to seek postpartum support early on. I want other people to know that they do not have to go through the postpartum period alone, I will be there every step of the way. I look forward to getting to know you! ​

I am a postpartum doula certified through DONA International, a lactation consultant trained through The Healthy Children Project, and a Ayurvedic masseur certified through The California College or Ayurveda. I’m a personal chef that specializes in postpartum nutrition and have a catalogue of frozen stews, broths and soups to choose from if you need inspiration for your meal planning. I meet prenatally to help organize the home, nursery and any other members of the support team. (Outlining responsibilities and expectations is work that is best done in advance.) I provide a newborn care class and a lactation class as well as meal prep for soups, stews and broths to be frozen. I always encourage my clients to try to book me for a visit right after the birth while in the hospital for lactation support and a modified version of my Ayurvedic massage. Once the family is home I cook nourishing foods rich in iron, protein, collagen, micro and macro nutrients to aid in recovery from depletion and help speed healing. (I also have a Postpartum Soup Bundle that can be purchased ahead of time.) I do dishes, laundry and of course provide even more lactation support. I can also simply care for the newborn while parents sleep. After the first few weeks the focus tends to shift into finding a daily rhythm, newborn care techniques and education on developmentally appropriate sleep habits for the baby. I also help parents with planning childcare help. I can be a sleep consultant one day and provide a massage the next. Maybe I play with the older children while mama naps with the newborn. Sometimes the work is just to sit and talk about all the things that the parents are struggling with. My job and my life’s joy is to simply be an extra set of hands or a sympathetic ear to new parents.
