Juanita H. | Doula in Montgomery, AL

Originally from Prattville, Juanita married a Navy sailor and traveled the country for the next 25+ years, raising three young men along the way.
Her doula journey began in 2013 when her husband was deployed. She served as a Labor Support Stand-In for dads who were deployed with her husband, offering comfort and connection to women who truly needed someone to be there during one of the most monumental events of their lives. This was an amazingly gratifying experience! She was also surprised at how much the birthing world had changed since her last child. The more births she attended, the more passionate she became. Mothers were eager to discuss birthing options, styles, techniques, as well as comfort measures and she became enthralled. Juanita loved being able to provide support to women during their labor and delivery while helping the parents work together. In 2016, she officially became a doula.
Now, she enjoys the freedom of helping women on a weekly basis. A previous client once said, “You’re like a supportive big sister, with all the birthing/baby knowledge but with the maturity of my mother.” What a compliment! By praying alongside my clients, providing compassion, support, a little southern hospitality, and advocating for mother’s wishes during the birthing process Juanita has found her calling. She hopes to empower you and help make your birthing time something you joyously remember.
