Hello and welcome! I’m a birth and postpartum doula proudly serving the Hampton Roads, VA area. I believe every pregnancy deserves to be nurtured, celebrated, and supported with care that feels both empowering and personal. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or adding to your growing family, I’m here to make sure your journey feels informed, supported, and full of joy. I’m deeply passionate about birth work, I truly love what I do(ula)! As your doula, I show up as an advocate, a guide, and a comforting presence. I love building strong connections, uplifting families, and educating our community on the power of doula support. Let’s walk this journey together!

When my husband and I were seeking a doula, we initially selected Mylah due to the affordability of her services. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that she consistently exceeded the original scope of her responsibilities. She genuinely demonstrates care for her clients, at least that was certainly our experience. Without delving into excessive detail, employing a doula was a crucial decision for support during this pregnancy. I have historically encountered difficulties advocating for myself with various medical professionals, my family, my workplace, and virtually all aspects of my life. I had grown quite weary of these challenges, but Mylah was instrumental in making this entire journey a success for us. She remained steadfast in her support, never dismissing my feelings, and consistently checking in on my husband and me, even inquiring about our son to see how he was adjusting. We dedicated months to crafting the birth plan, and she provided me with videos and feedback on exercises to prepare my body for the approaching day. When circumstances necessitated a medically induced labor, she maintained her composure. Adapting to the situation and providing the stability we needed for a successful unmedicated labor followed by a medicated vaginal birth. It is safe to say that without her, I do not believe I would have mentally navigated this pregnancy well. Previously, although I couldn't articulate it at the time, I experienced the onset of postpartum depression shortly after my son's birth. This time, despite being connected to a continuous infusion of IV medications, experiencing minor bleeding after birth, receiving significantly less support from other sources, and encountering numerous additional challenges, I can joyfully state that I am thriving, not merely surviving. I am uncertain how the remainder of this year will unfold, but I am confident that I will genuinely cherish the memories of my daughter's birth and newborn days. Thank you, Mylah, for helping me positively reframe my previous birth experience. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. To any of my friends or colleagues who may require a doula, I will wholeheartedly recommend your services.

My name is Angie, I am a mother of two amazing boys, a surrogate mother, and a Christ-centered doula. To me being a doula is far from just a job. It is a ministry. My goal is to not only help my clients have wonderful birth experiences but to also shower them in love and support.

We are so so grateful for Angie and our amazing experience of having her as our doula! She was truly a Godsend and I realistically can’t imagine what I would have done at my birth without her! We felt so supported, informed and cared for every time we interacted with her prior to the birth as well. She is very professional, knowledgeable and intuitive. It was very important to us to have a Christian doula, this is truly a ministry for Angie and you can feel that. I wish all my friends had Angie as their doula too!

We used Lacey for a few weeks after we had our baby. My wife was exhausted from giving birth and she just needed as much rest as possible at night. Lacey came in for 6 weeks 5 nights a week and took care of our sweet baby girl while we slept. She would change her, pass her to my wife to nurse when baby was hungry and would take her back and get her burped and back to sleep. She was amazing and never woke us up for anything. She even washed babies clothes and restocked supplies for the next day. We couldn’t have gotten through those first few weeks without Lacey . I highly recommend her for night nanny services. We will have her again if we have another. Thank you so much Lacey!

Laurie Ann Finn

28 years of experience

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.

With my first child (see above review), I called LAF (Laurie Ann and Dani) in a panic because breastfeeding was off to a dumpster fire start. Due solely to their coaching, my breastfeeding journey quickly turned around. I breastfed my daughter for 10 months and could not have had a better experience – both physically and mentally. When I found out I was pregnant with my second (the day before my daughter’s first birthday) LAF was one of the first to know (because I wanted them on my team again for round 2!) I knew that the second time around would be a bit different because my husband was in the middle of a deployment cycle. He got home from being gone for six weeks one week prior to me giving birth and will leave again (for 7+ months) very soon. I told Laurie Ann and Dani that I not only wanted to start strong with breastfeeding but wanted to build a large storage supply early on so that the pressure was off a bit when he deployed. Six weeks postpartum, I have 750+ ounces of breastmilk stored due to the plan that LAF put in place (in addition to feeding my baby girl who is growing faster than her growth curve!) The Elvie Curve made collecting this much breastmilk possible – this product was not available with my first daughter, and I could not recommend it more! LAF is a MUST if you are a first, second, third+ time mom in the Hampton Roads area. Seriously – I refer to them as my Fairy Godmothers. So incredibly thankful for their mentorship and love!

I also have training in gentle pediatric sleep conditioning, COVID safety, CPR/AED/First Aid, Safe breastmilk handling, multiples care and safe infant sleep practices. I have experience providing overnight care, 24 hr care, daytime newborn care as well as travel care. I have worked with families of different ethnicities , religions and orientations, and I am always enthusiastic to learn and follow newborn care practices that are sensitive and inclusive of the families culture. If you choose to have me work with your family, you will find me to be enthusiastic, understanding, diligent, flexible, discerning, level-headed and nurturing to the parents, the baby and other children (and pets) in the home. I genuinely enjoy working with families and newborns, and my favorite part is the exciting privilege of guiding parents through the exhilarating, and at times confusing and frustrating, world of newborns, to a point where they are confident, well rested and enthusiastic about peaceful days ahead as a family.

I want to share my strong recommendation for Val as an Overnight Newborn Care Specialist for twins. From the moment she stepped into our home, Val's expertise and compassion shone through. Throughout the nights, she skillfully managed the needs of both babies, ensuring they were well-cared for and content. Val's dedication went beyond just basic care; she provided invaluable support and guidance to us as parents. Her reassuring presence allowed us to rest easier, knowing our twins were in capable hands. I have no doubt that Val's warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for what she does make her an exceptional choice for any family seeking overnight newborn care! Lauren Choung

While photographing my first home birth in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2014, I naturally found myself playing the role of doula between shots. I signed up for official training the next day and never looked back. Soon after doula training, I earned a Certification in Lactation Counseling (CLC) and began helping mothers struggling with feeding issues. I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of babies in various settings, with varying feeding challenges, and a wide range of feeding goals. Phelicia welcomes families of all dynamics, ethnicities, and backgrounds, supporting births at home, in-hospital, medicated or unmedicated, planned, and unplanned cesareans.

I loved having Phelicia as my doula. She helped me create my birth plan, prep for breastfeeding, pumping, and bottles, and feel at peace about delivery and nursing. Even though I ended up having a cesarean due to breech presentation, she came to the hospital and was ready to help in any and every way in post-op (with care for me, baby's first latch, advice, etc.). She was wonderful at following-up with us regularly, checking in, giving advice, etc., while also giving us space to enjoy being first-time parents. She was a fantastic lactation consultant and helped us navigate our little one's tongue tie with so much wisdom. I highly recommend her for birth and lactation support. If we have another child in the DC area, I will not hesitate to hire her again.

Chloe Locklear

3 years of experience

Hi, I'm Chloe! I am a mom to two beautiful children and a Certified Birth and Bereavement Doula through Stillbirthday. In my free time, you'll find me reading, baking, or taking care of our little homestead. I have dreamed of being a mom since I was a child. I knew for a very long time that it was a calling; I discovered doulas and thought, "I would love to do that." I was blessed to have a wonderful one support me through birth, and that only further lit the fire within me to chase that dream and help support moms through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Chloe is such a caring and compassionate soul. She is an excellent listener and calms any fears. She helped me during the last weeks of my pregnancy and during my breast feeding journey. She was someone I could rely on and felt very seen and heard. Anyone would be lucky to have her on their birth team!

Hello everyone, I’m a Virginia state certified birth and postpartum doula dedicated to supporting families through one of the most transformative seasons of their lives. I believe birth and postpartum are sacred, powerful experiences, abs every parent deserves to feel informed, heard, and deeply supported. My approach is centered on creating a calm, safe, and empowering environment where you feel confident in choices and connected to your intuition. I specialize in gentle, nurturing super fire both birthing and postpartum families, with a special focus on overnight postpartum care.

Whether I’m proving emotional reassurance, comfort measures, newborn care, or practical household support, my goal is to bring peace, confidence, and steady care into your home so you can rest, recover, and bond with your baby.

Having Jada as my Doula was by far the best experience. Since she was on my case, she had been there physically mentally and even helped financially when it came down to giving birth and the stretching and being comfortable & believing that your body is made for this because I did have my son naturally she was on the bed with me, helping me to be comfortable. She was walking around the hospital with me helping me to be comfortable. She was helping me labor on the toilet. She had the music going. She had affirmations going. Everything about the experience was amazing and I keep on saying if I ever have another child. I will definitely have her again and I will definitely do it naturally if you're skeptical about Abdullah, I would absolutely recommend Jada.
