My name is Jawanna Gaines, and I walk with women and families across the thresholds of birth, postpartum, womb healing, and, when needed, loss. My own journey — through womb surgeries, healing, and the calling into doula work — attuned me to the deep wisdom of the body and the sacred nature of life’s passages. I believe birth, like death, is not only a physical event but also a spiritual initiation — one that deserves to be witnessed, honored, and held with reverence. My philosophy is rooted in presence, intentionality, and ceremony. I am here not to direct your path, but to hold steady light as you cross your own, offering care that is gentle, grounded, and deeply human.

I am the Founder and Postpartum Doula behind Healing Touch. Healing Touch was created to support women and their families as they make their journey into parenthood. As a mother myself, I know how having a child transforms who you are, and I am honored to be part of this life-changing process. My desire to become a postpartum doula began after I experienced the struggles that come along with having a newborn. Although the fourth trimester is a very exciting time, it can also be extremely challenging. There was so much I didn’t know, especially around my mental health and what to expect. With my firstborn, my labor and delivery was long and hard, which led me to having certain interventions I didn’t plan on. For the next few months, I had feelings of inadequency and really struggled emotionally. I did not have close family living nearby to help and though it was tough at times, this journey gave me a profound appetite to support others in their postpartum journey. I have a passion for celebrating the postpartum period and educating, empowering, and helping families. When I’m not working as a doula, you can find me at home spending time with my husband and two boys (5 and 7), cuddling up with a good book or boating on Lake Norman.

Hi my name is Jessica! I live in Denver on our family farm with my husband and 2 kids. I’ve been passionate about pregnancy and childbirth since I can remember. I originally trained as a birth doula in 2011, gained some experience and then we started our own family. The doula lifestyle wasn’t something that worked for us while my babies were small. I took about 10 years off from birth work (besides doing births for family) until 2023 when I felt called back to birth work, and I re-trained and certified. I deeply enjoy getting to know my clients and assisting with getting them confident and ready for their birth. I hope to provide my clients with everything they need to make informed decisions that are right for them, feeling confident to advocate for themselves and bringing a calming presence into their birth space, whether that’s at home, at the birth center or a hospital.

My name is Rebecca Duerr (pronounced DO-err). I am the founder of Mindful Family Wellness, Certified Labor Doula, Postpartum Doula, Certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator, a North Carolina Licensed Nutritionist, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Certified Placenta Arts Specialist. I live just north of Charlotte, NC, in the Lake Norman area with my husband, 4 daughters, and lots of fur babies. As a doula and nutritionist whose practice serves the Charlotte and Lake Norman areas of North Carolina, I support birthing people improve their overall health, birth outcome, and mental wellness through the experiences of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I use such tools and services as childbirth education classes, doula support through pregnancy, labor/birth and postpartum, as well as nutritional guidance and education for both mother and baby. Providing these services has been shown to increase positive birth outcomes, reduce cesarean section births, reduce postpartum mental disorders such as postpartum depression/anxiety (PPD/A) and postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder, (PPTSD) increase breast/chest-feeding success and duration, and strengthen the holistic health of both parent and child. As you can see, I offer a number of different services. As a NC Licensed Nutritionist, I provide integrative and functional nutrition counseling for the entire family. I also provide doula support, including pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am a Hypnobirthing® childbirth educator and have new classes starting monthly. The beauty of providing these services is that I can help you in one area or in many. I can see you or your family for nutritional guidance. I can see you for pregnancy and birth support, as a doula. Or we can combine these services. The possibilities are endless.

My name is Ari, and it is an honor to walk beside you during one of the most sacred transitions of your life. As a doula, I believe birth is not just a physical event — it is emotional, spiritual, and transformative. My role is to hold steady space for you so you can feel informed, supported, and deeply connected to your own intuition. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with: • Evidence-based education • Emotional grounding and reassurance • Breathwork and relaxation techniques • Gentle movement and comfort measures • Group support and guidance • Advocacy and informed decision-making support Whether you are planning a hospital birth, birth center experience, or home birth, my intention is the same — to help you feel safe, respected, and empowered in your choices. I honor your birth as your experience. Your voice matters. Your instincts matter. Your story matters. Birth asks us to soften and to rise at the same time. I am here to help you do both. With love and steady presence, Ari

Hello! My name is Naoka. I’m owner and founder of Doulas of Descent! I’ve been a birthing doula for about 4 years now and I’m here to assist mothers and family in the Columbia, SC area. I’m also available to travel! I look forward to connecting and servicing you and your families!

After a beautiful and empowering first birth, although it didn't go according to my original vision, a fire was lit to come alongside families in their own birth journeys. As a doula, I will support you whether you choose a home birth, a planned cesarean, or anything in between. My goal is that you know your options, are supported in them, and are surrounded by feelings of safety and love. I have worked in a variety of capacities before arriving in the birth world. I studied Exercise Science in college, where I learned the amazing things our bodies are capable of when we treat them properly or move them in certain ways. I've worked as an exercise physiologist in cardiac rehab, and as a wellness coach in a hospital setting. I was in full-time ministry, working with college students and teenagers. In that capacity, I learned to meet people where they're at, to comfort and to “hold space” for someone. These experiences brought me to a new understanding of wholeness - body, mind and spirit. This set me up perfectly to team up alongside women in their birth journeys - one of the most life-changing events we can experience!
