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!

Becoming a first-time mom to twins was one of the most overwhelming and life-changing experiences of my life. I honestly don’t know how I would have navigated those early months without the support of my postpartum doula, Aneya. From the very beginning, Aneya created a calm and reassuring environment that helped me gain confidence in my abilities as a new mother. Having two newborns at once can feel intimidating, but her support helped make the transition into motherhood much easier. One of the most helpful things she did was assist with my twins’ routines. Aneya cared for them, helped keep them settled, and made sure they were bathed and well cared for. Knowing my babies were safe, nurtured, and in such capable hands allowed me to focus on my responsibilities and duties as a new mom. She also helped me establish routines and provided support during a time when many new mothers feel overwhelmed. Because of her help, I was able to gain confidence and feel more comfortable caring for my twins. What truly stands out about Aneya is her compassion, patience, and dedication to the families she supports. She has a natural ability to make mothers feel supported and at ease during such an important transition. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Aneya as their postpartum doula. Her support made a meaningful difference in my experience as a new mother, and I would highly recommend her to any new or expecting parents.

I am Isamarys Medina Rivera, a birth and postpartum doula. I was living in Puerto Rico, until my age of 21. I am the youngest daughter of a family of four, composed of a geriatric nurse mom, one older sister and a brick mason dad. Since the beginning of my life, I’ve always had a passion for a career in maternity fields. When I moved to Virginia, I decided that it was time to embrace that passion, especially being surrounded by Hispanic moms who feel vulnerable, because of the language barrier, as well as overwhelming emotions. My desire to become a support for women grows every time I meet single moms and Hispanic families. The best way for me to become that support was to become a Doula. Inspired and motivated by this passion, I took the Birth and Postpartum Doula training with DONA International. After that I created my business, Amarys Doula, Child of the moon. As a Hispanic military wife, I know how hard can be. And by experience, I know how hard it can be to give birth and have a healthy postpartum, when your military partner is not around. That is why I am always looking to assist military families. After I took the training for Birth and Postpartum Doula, I added a placenta encapsulation services, because I believe it is important for my clients to be able to benefit from their own nutrients available in their placenta, such as iron, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, to help them regain their strength and give them a piece of art that their bodies bodies created. After my first postpartum experience, mature moms have a special place in my heart, and it will be more than an honor serve them. I help my birth and postpartum clients with respect, love, and I give them all the evidence based information possible. It is my goal that they feel confident and empowered during labor and postpartum. I will be there to help them adjust to this new life, including working with their body, using services such as Yoni steaming. I serve in the Hampton Roads area and reside in Norfolk. If you have any question do not hesitate to contact me. I speak Spanish natively, and also speak English

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.

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.

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.
