Labor & Birth Doula Support for Warner Robins, Macon, Americus, Perry, and the surrounding areas in Ga

Congratulations on your growing family! As a birth doula, I help expectant families prepare for birth. I am here to provide you with education, support, and to help you prepare for one of THE most incredible moments. This support encompasses your non-medical needs during pregnancy, labor, and birth. I attend both hospital birth and homebirth as your Doula.

I have so many folks ask me, "what is a doula? I've never heard of it!". The name “Doula” is a Greek word that means “Woman’s Servant.” Doulas are trained professionals that assist women before, during and after childbirth.

Studies have shown mothers using doulas benefit from:

Shorter labor with fewer complications

Reduced need for interventions

Decreased C-section rates

Reduced stress and anxiety in mother and/or partner

increased positive feelings about their birth experiences

better success with breastfeeding

Each Doula works very differently. We come from different places and training's and so what I offer to my clients may be different than what someone else is offering to their clients. I can only specifically speak about what I offer. Hiring me as your doula means you are hiring a professional who is there just for you.

A little about me...

• I took my training to become a Professional Doula in Jan 2018 and became a Certified Birth Doula in Feb 2019. Education is important to me & I'm continually training to receive more education.
• In 2019 I took my training and received my certification to be a Professional Placenta Encapsulator.
• In 2020 I took The Advanced Doula Workshop learning all about how to advocate for my clients. Advocacy does not mean animosity! Communication is the key to all good relationships.
• In 2020 I completed the Keeping Your Power® workshop.
• May 202o I became a Certified Virtual Doula.
• April 2021 I started midwifery school.
• I have taken 2 Birth Doula training's, Spinning Babies workshop, Rebozo workshop, Evidence-Based Birth training, and so many online courses! I love learning!
• I'm married to the love of my life and we have been blessed with 1 daughter and 2 sons.
• I believe that birth is a natural, normal process in which God designed & created our bodies, and under healthy circumstances, we are capable of carrying and birthing our babies.
• I'm lost without a to-do list!
• Essential oils are a huge part of our lives and our first line of defense for all needs.
• I am flexible, easy-going, calm, and non-judgmental.
• Coffee...I LOVE it...give me all the coffee!

I have attended a variety of births.... VBACs, epidurals, natural births, twins, cesarean births, water-births, high-risk births, home births, induced births, IVF, clients over 40, single parents & teen parents.

I am independent and self-employed. I work for you, not your caregiver or hospital. I am only a text or call away and am here for any/all questions or concerns and give you evidence-based information.

Clientele is limited, allowing me to offer the best service to your family.
