Hi, I’m Kellie, a birth doula, pediatric nurse, women’s health herbalist, and the heart behind The Nourished Mother. I bring over a decade of nursing experience into the birth space, along with a deep reverence for the physiology of a woman’s body. My approach blends evidence-based care with herbal wisdom, breathwork, and somatic practices that help women soften, trust, and embody their power during pregnancy and birth. I believe birth preparation is not just about learning positions or writing a birth plan. It is about reconnecting to your body. It is about learning how your breath can soften your pelvic floor. It is about helping your partner feel confident holding you through intensity. It is about cultivating safety in your nervous system so your body can open. During our time together, we will prepare not only for labor, but for postpartum. We will discuss hormonal shifts, recovery, nourishment, support systems, and the emotional transformation into motherhood. I often incorporate herbal teas, grounding rituals, breathwork, and practical postpartum planning into our prenatal sessions. As both a nurse and a doula, I am comfortable navigating conversations with medical providers while also protecting the sacredness of your experience. I am a calm, steady presence who listens deeply and advocates clearly. My hope is that you feel informed, supported, and deeply connected to your body as you step into birth and motherhood. You deserve to feel nourished in every phase ❤️

You weren’t meant to do this alone. There comes a moment after the visitors leave, the meals stop coming, and the texts become less frequent. It’s 2:43 a.m. Your baby has been awake for hours. You’re running on almost no sleep. You haven’t eaten a real meal today. You’re wondering if you’re doing any of this right. No one prepares you for that part. I’m Afrika, a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with over 17 years of experience supporting more than 100 families through pregnancy, birth, and the tender weeks that follow. I don’t just care for babies. I care for the people who just became parents. Whether you need overnight newborn care so you can finally sleep, daytime support while you recover, help establishing feeding routines, emotional encouragement, or simply another capable adult in your home, I meet you exactly where you are. When I’m in your home, my goal is simple: I want you to exhale. To eat while your food is still warm. To shower without rushing. To sleep knowing your baby is in experienced hands. To feel cared for while you’re caring for everyone else. Because healing happens best when someone is helping hold the weight. This isn’t luxury. This is how families were always meant to be supported. If you’re preparing for your first baby, or welcoming another, I’d be honored to become part of your village.
