  Shay was very patient in dealing with me. I was very anxious about delivering my first child, but she step in to give me the information I need to know more about what to expect. Her spirit is very calming and nuturing which is what I needed during my labor. She has a devoted client in me as I plan to hire her for any future children I may carry.

As a young child, around 6 years of age, I fell in love with the "Birth Story" on TLC! With that show, I was hooked on everything Birth, Baby, and how I can play a part in it. So as an adult, I shuffled with the idea of becoming an OB/GYN, or labor and delivery nurse, and I soon figured it wasn't for me. Once I discovered Doula and Midwifery I was hooked and the fact that there was a possibility to be Holistic and Natural in the approach to birth. So I decided to become certified as a Holistic Doula with The Matrona in Feb 2020. That was the best decision ever and I'm currently waiting for funds for my midwifery courses.

Care philosophy

The support that I provide, deals heavily with communication, physical comfort, for you and your baby. I believe an can be there for both parents as an empowering conduit with meditation and breathing exercises to keep everyone centered and open for the blessings birth has to offer.

  Nathifa is a very nurturing and attentive person. She can adapt to any situation calmly and efficiently.

I am a public health professional who has dedicated the time to become a health advocate. There are many ways that I wanted my voice to be heard and I needed to find a way to really make a difference in a positive way. After reading and experiencing many challenges in the birth world, I knew becoming a birth worker was something that I needed to so. Once becoming a mother of two, I found my importance and place of being even more necessary.

Care philosophy

My care philosophy is to listen to the birthing person/mom. This is your show and I'm here to guide you through this journey and give you positive vibes and education to ensure the success of a healthy baby.

I am also a birth assistant studying to be a community birth midwife. I also make lactation visits and encapsulate placentas. I have been in this field since 2007. Come join the village.

  Y’na was heaven sent when I opted to have a doula 35 weeks in to my pregnancy. I was overly stressed in selecting one because I never thought to utilize one. I then called Y’na and instantly her spirit was so calming. When we had our meeting she was warm and inviting. I realized I definitely made a great choice. While in labor she created the best peaceful environment such in turn made my labor and delivery easier. She was also a tremendous help during postpartum recovery. Even til this day she checks on us and how we’re doing. If I could do it all over again, I’d choose Y’na!

  Sherri Wilkerson is a true professional, she is very compassionate and understanding. She knows a tremendous amount of information regarding pregnancy & birth, and often goes out of her way to help families feel comfortable. I am always recommending my patients to her, she is trustworthy, friendly and intelligent.

My name is Nitra and I am a birth / postpartum doula moving as a vessel for love and compassion for those that I serve here in Atlanta, GA. Born in Washington state, I started my training in Seattle. As a natural emotional laborer, I stumbled on the idea of birth work through fortune and was immediately enticed by an undeniable responsibility bigger than myself. I reflected on my own birthing and pregnancy experience during training and discovered my heart pulling passion to protect underrepresented communities. As a shield of protection, I especially like to focus my work on the wellbeing of birthing folks who experience, post traumatic stress, triggers, obstetric violence, systematic racism, microaggressions, misgendering, and any other uncomfortable truths that show up in a birthing environment. I feel it’s especially important to encourage parents to access information and advocate for themselves when they feel the decision making process is out of their hands.

Care philosophy

Personally my belief is that humans are capable of moving with their intuition, which can guide them to form their own ideas for their body and or birth. I am only someone in support of those ideas/ needs, holding space for them, and will advocate/ educate when asked to do so. My care is rooted in protection and nurture.. I move as

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am a DONA certified Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, certified Lactation Educator Counselor, certified CPR Instructor, certified Child Passenger Safety Technician, and certified Happiest Baby Educator. My husband Jeff and I have been married for 23 years and we live north of Atlanta with our son Hunter. When I am not with clients, I enjoy hiking, sewing, going to the gym, and spending time with my family Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I spent the previous 20 years of my life working in the medical-office field, beginning as a filing clerk and working my way up to billing manager and eventually office manager, which included the management of an OB/GYN practice in the Northside Hospital area. When my husband and I decided to become parents ourselves, we struggled with infertility issues, which resulted in us consulting a reproductive specialist. After weighing all the options, we decided to try In-Vitro Fertilization in order to conceive our son. It was a long and difficult process, but we are forever grateful to the physician and his practice along with the never ending support we received from our family, friends, and coworkers. When a longtime childhood friend asked me to support her during the home birth of her second child as well as photograph the experience, I gladly accepted. A few years later, she asked me to be there again for the birth of her third child. A year later I was asked by another childhood friend, if I would participate in the hospital birth of her daughter and be her doula. All three of these experiences had a profound effect on me. These experiences, in addition to becoming a mother myself, allowed me to discover the passion I would have for becoming a doula. As a doula, I am dedicated to educating, supporting, and assisting families so that they have the best possible experience bringing their little ones into the world. No matter whether this is your first child or your sixth child, I am here to help make this a special time.

Care philosophy

I am dedicated to educating, supporting, and assisting families so that they have the best possible experience bringing their little ones into the world, no matter if they are becoming a parent for the first time or the fifth. Knowing that every couple’s needs are different, I tailor the support that I provide to each client’s individual needs and desires.

  We hired Stephanie originally as our birth doula, but then hired her for CPR training and certification as well as a postpartum doula. She was a fabulous help in all areas from preparing us for labor, coaching me during labor, helping with breastfeeding questions, helping with the twins for several months after the birth. She is the epitome of professional, incredibly disciplined, and an expert in her field. She is also very comfortable to be around, which is so very needed during labor and postpartum when one is so vulnerable both physically and emotionally. I felt so supported by her and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

  She is simply amazing. With Rachel’s phenomenal support I was able to achieve my goal of a natural labor at the hospital. She preformed many different techniques to help me be as comfortable as I could be going through the contractions. Rachel gave me the encouragement I needed and wasn’t afraid to speak up to hospital staff to make sure my birth plan could go accordingly as possible. Not only is she an amazing support for birth but she truly saved my breastfeeding journey. She was very attentive night and day in helping me with any questions or concerns and would even check on us herself which was so nice. Rachel is very passionate and knowledgeable about her work as a doula. I highly recommend her and will most definitely have her be my doula again if I were to have another baby.

I am passionate that marginalized people have just as much education and access to dignified care. I continually train in medical advocacy, consent, trauma informed care, childbirth education, movement based pregnancy and labor. I have taken my 20+ years as a dance teacher, medical advocate, ceremonial space creator, massage therapist, mother, and informal birth support to inform my education as a Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator. I have been through two Doula trainings before I found the right fit for me with Birthing Advocacy Doula Training/BADT, their classes are "socially conscious, culturally appropriate, diverse, and action-oriented. We not only train our students to serve their clients using the best practices available, we also provide them with a wide perspective of disparities, inequalities, policies and rights, and prepare them to be active partners in the movement to change birth and reproductive health culture locally, nationally and globally." I have taken Birth and Disability, Childbirth Education thru them as well. I also take monthly Ehlers Danlos Syndrome/EDS medical advocacy and clinicians training through the Ehlers Danlos Society in order to serve my EDS clients as well as the general EDS population.

Care philosophy

I share resources and education so that they can make evidence and consent based choices for their birth. I believe birth should be allowed to unfold as uninterrupted as possible and I will hold that space for you in what ever way you have chosen.

Hi and welcome! My name is Kathryn and I am a certified labor doula, supporting families in Marietta and the Atlanta area. I have a B.S in community health and human services. I received my Certified Labor Doula certification from CAPPA in December 2017. I recently completed my recertification in December of 2020. My personal pregnancy journeys has been the catalyst for this business. I have 3 children, one boy and a girl, and an angel daughter above. When I began exploring the moments in my life that were an exclamation mark, the moments that literally almost took my breath away to the moments that made me drop in pain, they all centered around the journey to build my family. It wasn’t until my early 30s, when my husband and I were beginning our family building journey, that I realized what a delicate, amazing experience it is, just to be pregnant, to carry life, and to give birth. After suffering for 5 years with infertility, I became pregnant with my son via IVF. He was born via cesarean and I am convinced that is the way he was meant to be born. With that birth, I have a permanent scar that I look at daily with gratitude. It reminds me of the perseverance, strength and patience it took for him to arrive. But, with that same strength and determination I received from that experience, I was led to feel that spark to try for a VBAC when I shockingly became pregnant two years later. Gasp. The conception of my daughter was a wonderful gift and the way she came into the world was basically just that. Her birth was a fierce, fast, and empowering experience, mirroring her personality. My unmedicated VBAC has stuck in my mind as one of the greatest experiences of my life and initially lit my determination to become a birth worker. Her birth made me realize a new found love I had for my body, for growing her, and birthing her. I became pregnant again in 2016, with my daughter Charlotte. Sadly, I suffered a 16 week loss when she passed away. As with anyone who has suffered pregnancy and infant loss, you know that special kind of pain. It is without a doubt the darkest experience I have had in my life. With this loss, I gained an inner strength and renewed spirituality. She is a part of my spirit and my story. There is not a single day that goes by that I don’t think of her. I look at each of these so very different experiences , these 3 hearts, with such awe. Undoubtedly, they have left a profound mark on my heart and have taught me my biggest life lessons. They are extensions of my soul that I carry daily with me. I share these experiences because they are me, they are my inspiration for this business, and my daily reminder of the inner strength women possess. Pregnancy and birth is an experience like no other. Make sure you have the support you need to make this experience positive and empowering: Empowerment= less trauma.

Care philosophy

The way you birth matters. Why? Because it's a vulnerable experience. My job as a doula is to make sure my clients have tools they need to be involved in the decision making process when it comes to this experience. What does that look like? Pulling the most up to date evidence on inductions, offering different comfort measures, optimal baby positioning, and informed consent.

  Kathryn has a passion for helping expecting mothers and families. She has vast knowledge and experience as a doula. Kathryn is a very kind, patient, and gentle person. There is no one else I would recommend to help others on their pregnancy and birth journey.

My role as a doula started long before I became certified. I have supported friends and family through pregnancies and births for as long as I can remember. It's a calling that I'm glad I stopped running from. As a medical student, I saw so many mothers who had no support and it was a no brainer; I want to be able to support those who have none and so the journey began. I became a doula in the midst of completing medical school. I wouldn't trade birth work for anything!

Care philosophy

Through Thick & Thin (T3 for short) was named such because my goal is to support birthing persons through everything that pregnancy and postpartum will throw at you. I support you through the happy, sad and overwhelming times that you might experience. My mission is to provide family focused, culturally competent care to all I encounter.

  I’ve worked with Claudia specifically related to pre-natal and hormonal support. I suffer from PCOS, so I reached out to Claudia to learn how I can start to get my hormones to the right levels in order for me to not experience the symptoms that come with PCOS (facial hair growth, weight gain, depression, etc.). With her support and knowledge, I learned more about the condition; she also prepared a tea blend to help me regulate my hormones and prepare for pregnancy. Claudia’s professionalism and dedication is unmatched. She listened to my concerns, provided me with names of reading material and made sure to let me know that if she didn’t have the answer for something, she’ll look for it. Overall, I would recommend Claudia to anyone looking for prenatal, pregnancy and postnatal support.

I am a wife and mother to four beautiful children. For years, birth has been my passion. When I finally attended my first birth as a doula, it was solidified that this is my calling. I saw how important it was for someone, trained in birth, to never leave the birthing person's side. Since attending that birth, I have devoted my career to helping people during this milestone. I focus my attention on educating my clients of their options,how to advocate for themselves, how to ask the correct questions, and how to trust their body during this transformative time. I offer various packages to meet you where you are, so every person can have doula support.

Care philosophy

I believe that education is the key to having a powerful and positive birth experience. No matter what might happen during your pregnancy, labor, and beyond, if you are well educated and supported, then you will feel empowered and in control. Women/ birthing people are so strong and capable, and need to be supported, so they can gracefully embrace their birth no matter what that looks like.

Hannah also was able to encourage my husband during my pregnancy and ultimately provided support for him during labor and delivery so he could be solely focused on me.

  Jamaya was my Birth Doula for my latest child. The prenatal appointments were informative and the birth plan helped my provider, grandmother and boyfriend with knowing exactly how I wanted my birth. Her professionalism and skill reassured me that I could trust the environment that I brought my baby into.

As a certified Doula, I feel honored to be able to share my expertise with women and families. I approach birth holistically and I believe that birthing is a natural process, and that women are strong and capable of having a natural birth or any birth preference that they decide to choose. By supporting mom throughout her pregnancy, and making sure that her, and her partner have all of their options, it will help the big day goes as smooth as possible. They will have a chance to have the birth story of their dreams and be prepared just incase an emergency should arise! As unfortunately these things sometimes do. I also support mom emotionally and physically during labor, making sure that she is as comfortable and calm as possible. I’m here to support partners too! I will always have the best interest of my clients at heart and advocate for the birthing woman and her family!

“At The Joosy doula I provide dependable, caring, and customizable support for families before, during, and after birth. I promise to respect, listen, love, embrace, and be your advocate.
