Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Waxhaw, NC

Hi! My name is Staci and I have a strong passion for birth work, informed consent, evidence based care, and supporting you in getting the birth you hope for, no matter how that looks. As a certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, CLC, and placenta specialist, you can say I absolutely adore my work and all the families I support. I promise I am judgement free and come with over 12 years of doula experience! I am so honored you're here and I look forward to supporting you as you grow your family. I support families in all birthing locations in the greater Charlotte, LKN, and Catawba areas (40-50 miles from Cornelius, NC) and those who desire unmedicated births all the way to scheduled cesareans. My only intention for you is that you get the birth you desire. That you walk away from your experience empowered and glowing. I'm huge on continuity of care, so I also value showing up for my clients in their postpartum period as a doula, lactation consultant, and friend.

Hello! My name is Lily and I am a holistic pregnancy and birth practioner and birth doula, serving Kings Mountain and surrounding areas. My passion is natural health, specifically in the realm of pregnancy and birth. Supporting mothers in the most life changing and important event in their lives brings me so much happiness and fulfillment- I can truly say it is my life's calling.

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.

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 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

I really aim to support mothers to the best of my abilities. I understand the pros and cons of interventions and can help you understand them as well. I will help you advocate for your dream birth and I will support you with whatever you need.

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!

Anansa Lattimore whom we lovingly refer to as "Nzuri Asha" which means Beautiful Life in Swahili. Nzuri is a certified and continues to further her development as a doula.

During her OBGYN years, she has also received certification to co-facilitate Centering Pregnancy groups through the Centering Healthcare Institute and a certificate for completing the Strengthening Community Health Worker Programs from Harvard University. Her desire ultimately is to serve all women, but she is passionate about being able to serve the African American community and bring awareness to the care of African American women and teenagers who need and deserve during this special time in their lives, as well as empower those same women to use their voices and make more informed decisions about their healthcare.
