I am a Birth Doula that is passionate about working with families to help them achieve the birth experience that they are looking for. I provide emotional, physical and educational support during pregnancy, labor and delivery, as well as during the postpartum period.

Susan is absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to anyone! My husband and I had never considered the idea of having a doula for my pregnancy and birth of our son, but then we attended a class that she helped teach. The benefits of having a doula were explained and we instantly knew that we wanted to have one. Susan was so informative, excited about her work and welcoming - we connected with her right away! We loved how involved she was from the very beginning of us deciding to work with her. She met with us to determine if she would be a good fit - which she was! Once we hired her as our doula, we had multiple lunches to discuss our birth preferences and to answer any and all questions we had. During birth and delivery, she helped us determine when contractions were close enough to head to the hospital, she helped me work through the pain, and made us feel safe and prepared. When it was time for me to push, my son had the cord wrapped around and his stats were dropping. Susan, the doctors and the nurses helped keep me calm throughout that and made sure me and baby were safe! Once our son was born, Susan stayed with us to help with skin to skin and with the initial breastfeeding. We were so worried that I would have a traumatic birth, but with Susan by our side that was absolutely NOT the case. If / when we have another baby, we will 1000% have her by our side again - we LOVE her!

Hi! My name is Asyia Jackson. I am a full spectrum doula in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia supporting mothers as they journey through pregnancy with comfort, love, and strength!

Recent review

I don’t think I can really put into words what Asyia has done for me. I was on the fence about hiring a doula but I know I wanted a better birth experience than what I had with my son 13 years ago. She was the first doula of 9 that I interviewed and my heart/mind kept going back to how comfortable and at peace she made me feel with just our first conversation. I needed not just a guide through physiological birth but also a friend to joke with, lean on, cry to and trust with my life and the life of my baby. Asyia was immediately with me during an emergency 33 week bleed. She continued to check in and answer any and all questions I had about the birth process. When it came time to labor she was like a pillar or strength and wisdom for me to hold onto. When I was afraid, she calmed my fears. When I was joking around, she was laughing with me. When things were intense and my doubt was strong she was speaking from my own inner voice out loud to trust my body, trust my baby and know I WAS doing this. My husband was an active participant and her guidance really helped him step into his confidence as a man helping bring his child into the world. I have walked away from this birth experience with a new found love for myself and for the body I grew up hating. I never felt good enough, strong enough, capable enough. Asyia didn’t just help me give birth in a way I wanted.. she helped guide me through a full spiritual, emotional, physical and mental transformation that has changed me for life. Thank you for believing in me, for walking with me and for helping me to complete my family

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!

Recent review

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 goal is to provide personalized midwifery care that honors the physiology of birth while meeting the unique needs of each family I serve.

Starr is so much more than a birth doula! She is like family. We met before I had my baby and mentioned I wanted to get my hair braided before I went into labor and she said she's a licensed cosmetologist too, so I asked her to braid my hair at our next appointment and she did not disappoint! Then at the birth she was so knowledgeable and understanding. Me and my family definitely felt safe and secure with her by our side.

Hi, my name is Aniyla and I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula and newborn care specialist. I created my own business called Rainbow Light with the intention of bringing a sense of belonging, peace, love, and light to women before, during, and after their pregnancy journey. To me, a rainbow represents joy, faith, and promise—a reminder that even in uncertain moments, there is beauty and purpose. At Rainbow Light, my goal is for every woman—of every shape, size, and color to feel welcomed, valued, heard, and deeply cared for throughout her journey. My motto is to bloom in care and beam in love. I want to create a space where you can feel balanced, supported, and able to truly flourish. From a young age, my passion has always been rooted in caring for women, babies, and families. I believe in the strength of the female body and the importance of nurturing and listening to it throughout every stage. Every journey is different, and just because your rainbow may not look like someone else’s does not make it any less beautiful, meaningful, or important. Your experience matters. I am so excited to begin this journey and connect with so many beautiful “rainbows” along the way 💛 Be blessed and bright 🌈 Disclaimer* Please note that at this current time I am in the process of setting up different insurance plans I will take. This does take a while to complete so unfortunately I am not currently able to take that form of payment until further notice. Thank you for your patience.

Aniyla created such a calm, supportive space during our first prenatal visit. She listened without judgment, explained everything clearly, and made me feel confident going into this journey. I already feel more prepared and supported. Her soul truly radiates light and ease. She makes me feel calm even with my pregnancy anxiety. Truly a great listener and a very naturally nurturing young woman! You can tell it is her passion rather than just a career.

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.

Recent review

One year ago I had the most life changing experience. I had my dream Home birth experience thanks to Ottavia Turner. Ottavia spent months preparing me for natural birth. Yoga , meditation, breath work and natural birth education classes all the services she offered me. I felt prepared and confident enough to endure natural child birth. During birth I remembered everything we did during our sessions. Hours later my baby boy was born safely at home in our bath tub. I highly recommend her and the services she offers you won’t regret it.

Postpartum care is essential for both mother and baby. It is important to make sure that your mental, emotional, and physical well-being are supported and balanced during this important season. Having an extended village is also incredibly valuable, which is why I chose to invest in a doula during this pregnancy. Mrs. Sabrina Cooper, @from_womb_to_mom, is truly a phenomenal doula. Mrs. Cooper supported me throughout my labor and delivery and served as my advocate during moments when I could not remember certain needs and details included in my birth plan. One of the greatest parts of my experience was the love, care, and support she provided during my postpartum journey. I booked her for two weeks, and during that time, I was able to get much-needed rest, eat nourishing meals, and learn helpful techniques for caring for my newborn. I miss her already! Doulas are needed, and I truly believe we should see more of them supporting families in our hospitals and homes. If you are currently pregnant and located in the Hampton Roads area, please book Mrs. Cooper now! The love, support, guidance, and care that you and your baby or babies will receive will truly make your experience unforgettable. Thank you so much, Mrs. Cooper, for everything you have done for me and my family. Your support has meant more than words can express. May GOD continue to bless you and the beautiful work you do. 🙏🏾🫂👶🏾 Mrs. Cooper captured the hospital picture of my newborn. I think she should go into photography. 🤗 Website: https://www.fromwombtomom.com/

Hi, I’m LaTory “Ms. Tory” Whitney — founder and creative director of The Maternal Concierge. My work is deeply rooted in helping families feel supported, cared for, and less alone during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. After spending over 30 years caring for children and supporting families, I realized that so many parents are trying to navigate one of the biggest transitions of their lives without enough real, connected support. That realization is what inspired me to create The Maternal Concierge — an ecosystem of trusted professionals designed to help families access compassionate care all in one place. I believe families deserve more than quick fixes or surface-level support. They deserve people who can truly see them, guide them, and help bring calm into the chaos of parenting. Through The Maternal Concierge, I help direct and connect families with aligned providers including doulas, newborn care specialists, lactation support, mental health professionals, wellness providers, and postpartum support teams who all believe in caring for the whole family, not just the baby. I’m also the founder of Whispering Lullabies and creator of the Sacred Sleep Method, a gentle, nervous-system-informed approach to sleep and family wellness that focuses on connection, regulation, and emotional safety. Whether I’m supporting families directly or helping build a stronger network of care behind the scenes, my goal is always the same: helping parents feel held, empowered, and supported during one of the most important seasons of their lives.

Wanda is amazing! I had my daughter in my late 30 thirties and experience many complications. I don't know how I would have made it without Wanda. The care she took in explaining things to, helping me reduce my stress, helping me to prepare for my daughters birth was a blessing. She continued this care well after I had my daughter. Wanda provided, additional breast feeding support and guidance. With Wanda you are with family. She cares about you and takes every steps necessary to endure a successful birth and mom after.

I cannot say enough good things about Shonna!! This was my first experience with a doula and I highly recommend it for anyone having a child. From the first interaction during my second trimester, until our last interaction post delivery - she has been nothing short of amazing. Shonna was always calm, supportive, reassuring, and ALWAYS saw the positive side of things. She is an expert in this profession and has made my first time with a doula an unforgettable experience. If I decide to have another one, she will be my first choice. Thank you so much Shonna for everything you did to help with the arrival of our baby!!

Namaste! I’m Tory Whitney—creator of the Sacred Sleep Method™ and author of *Sacred Sleep: A Gentle Nervous System Guide for Babies and Parents*, available on Amazon. I am a birth and postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, infant sleep consultant, mindfulness and Hypnobabies educator, intuitive guide, and founder of Whispering Lullabies. I bring more than seven years of perinatal experience and over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience to every family I serve. Sacred Sleep is more than my approach to infant sleep—it is the philosophy that guides all of my care. I believe babies and parents thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. Whether I am assisting during birth, caring for a newborn overnight, supporting postpartum recovery, or helping a family establish healthy sleep rhythms, I begin with connection, nervous-system regulation, responsive care, and respect for each family’s individual needs. I do not believe in forcing babies into rigid schedules or asking parents to ignore their instincts. Instead, I observe each baby’s temperament, feeding patterns, developmental stage, sensory needs, sleep cues, and family rhythm. I help parents understand the “why” behind their baby’s behavior so they can make informed decisions and move forward with confidence. My approach blends evidence-based newborn care, infant physiology, mindfulness, intuitive attunement, and more than three decades of practical caregiving experience. I provide calm, dependable, and nonjudgmental support without cry-it-out, extinction, or one-size-fits-all methods. My goal is for every family I serve to feel seen, rested, informed, and more confident in their ability to understand their baby. Through in-home, overnight, travel, and virtual care, I help families soften, settle, and find their rhythm—one breath, one night, and one season at a time.

We had the absolute best experience with Tory, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she walked into our home, she brought an immediate sense of calm and confidence that we desperately needed. After just one visit, our entire household felt more settled. She didn’t just care for our newborn—she taught me how to care for him with new techniques, hands-on guidance, and so much patience. She showed me how to soothe him, how to read his cues, and how to manage those fussy moments that had felt overwhelming before. Her approach was gentle, practical, and incredibly reassuring. On top of that, both the baby and I were coming down with a cold, and she handled the situation with so much compassion. She showed me how to help a congested newborn, helped me feel more confident in what to watch for, and even let me get much-needed rest. I truly felt cared for as a new mom, not just supported in caring for my baby. If you are looking for someone who brings expertise, calm energy, and genuine care into your home, Tory is absolutely exceptional. One visit made such a meaningful difference for us, and I am so grateful for her. I am excited to work with her again and ensure that I’ve really taken her lessons to heart.

I cannot recommend my doula highly enough. Throughout my labor and delivery, she was incredibly attentive, and supportive. She provided constant reassurance, helped me stay focused, and made me feel supported every step of the way. When my boyfriend had to leave for work and my sister had to go home, she remained by my side. I am truly grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to any expecting mother.
