Doula Support

Our doula services include personalized care through every stage of your pregnancy journey.

Prenatal Support

  • Holistic Pregnancy Guidance: From the moment you choose us, we become your partner in pregnancy. Our prenatal support involves ongoing, personalized check-ins to ensure you feel physically, emotionally, and mentally prepared for the birth experience. We provide evidence-based information on what to expect during pregnancy, how to plan for your ideal birth, and ways to stay healthy and comfortable during each trimester.

  • Birth Plan Creation: We assist you in creating a detailed birth plan that reflects your personal preferences, values, and goals. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or birth center experience, we’ll make sure your voice is heard and that you have the tools to advocate for yourself within the healthcare system.

  • Emotional & Educational Support: Pregnancy can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. We offer emotional support and childbirth education classes to help you understand the birthing process, pain management techniques, and how to cope with the physical and emotional changes that come with pregnancy.

Labor & Birth Support

  • Continuous In-Person or Virtual Support: Our birth doula services ensure you’re never alone during labor. We provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout the birthing process, whether at home, in a hospital, or in a birth center. Our goal is to help you stay calm, focused, and empowered at every stage of labor.

  • Pain Management & Comfort Techniques: We use a variety of non-medical techniques to help manage pain and discomfort during labor. This includes:

    • Breathing exercises

    • Position changes

    • Massage

    • Counter-pressure

    • Hydrotherapy (where available)

  • Advocacy: During birth, we act as your advocate, ensuring that your birth plan is respected and that you’re informed of all your options as they arise. We collaborate with your healthcare team to create a supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make the best decisions for you and your baby.

  • Culturally Competent Care: As a Black woman-owned doula service, we are uniquely attuned to the specific challenges faced by Black mothers and birthing people. We are committed to ensuring that your needs, concerns, and desires are centered at every stage of your care.

Postpartum Support

  • Immediate Postpartum Care: The hours and days after birth are just as important as the labor itself. We provide immediate postpartum care to help you recover, bond with your baby, and navigate the first few days of motherhood. This includes breastfeeding initiation, newborn care, and emotional support as you adjust to your new role.

  • Ongoing Postpartum Visits: Our support continues well beyond birth. We offer follow-up postpartum visits to help with breastfeeding, newborn care, postpartum recovery, and emotional adjustment. Whether you’re experiencing baby blues, physical discomfort, or just need a listening ear, we’re here to support your recovery and well-being.

  • Postpartum Planning: We help you prepare for life after birth by developing a postpartum care plan that ensures you have the resources, support, and self-care strategies you need for a smooth transition into motherhood. This includes connecting you with additional resources, such as lactation consultants, mental health professionals, and community support groups.


Virtual Doula Support

  • Remote Birth & Postpartum Support: For those who cannot access in-person services or prefer remote care, we offer virtual doula services that include prenatal consultations, birth coaching, and postpartum support. We are available via phone, video calls, and messaging throughout your journey to provide the guidance and reassurance you need, no matter where you are.

Childbirth Education

  • Our comprehensive digital childbirth education course is designed for Black mothers, providing evidence-based information and techniques to empower you throughout your pregnancy. We cover the benefits of breastfeeding, important lactation techniques, and ways to advocate for yourself during your birth.

Specialized Services

  • Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) Support: If you’re planning a VBAC, we provide specialized guidance to help you prepare mentally and physically. We work closely with you and your healthcare provider to ensure you have the best possible chance of a successful vaginal birth after cesarean.

  • Cesarean Birth Support: Whether planned or unplanned, a cesarean birth can be an emotional experience. We provide continuous support during your C-section, helping you understand the procedure, stay calm, and connect with your baby afterward. Our postpartum support will also assist in your physical recovery.

  • Miscarriage, Loss, & Bereavement Doula Services: For those experiencing pregnancy or infant loss, we offer compassionate bereavement support. We provide emotional care, practical resources, and guidance to help you navigate grief and healing during this difficult time.
