Doula Services

What is a Doula?

Doulas are non-clinical professionals who provide birthing individuals and families with physical, emotional, and informational support.

Research shows that that doula support can reduce labor time, cesarean delivery, use of forceps during delivery (1). Doula care can also decrease the risk of preterm birth (2) and increase breastfeeding among mothers (3,4). It has also been shown to improve patient satisfaction and self-efficacy (4,5,6) and in 2008, the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found doula care to be one of the most effective birth practices (7).

Testimonials

My experience with Caroline was very helpful. She was knowledgeable and a good listener. This being my 2nd pregnancy, she brought up good suggestions I did not think about and will find useful this time around. I felt comfortable talking to her and would recommend her services to all moms.

Maisha | Detroit, Mi

I genuinely enjoyed the birth planning session with Caroline. She has such a calming presence and is super informational. I felt at ease completing the birth plan with her once I understood her passion for maternal and child health and her knowledgeability. It was an absolute pleasure and I feel so much better prepared for the birth of my first child!

Kayla | Tampa, FL

I am a first-time mom and a newlywed. My husband has 3 kids of his own a part of me felt intimidated and uneducated about childbirth. This session made me feel all-around more knowledgeable about what to expect and want when it's time for me to deliver. Caroline gave me talking points to take back to my doctor too. At my next prenatal appointment, I felt better after leaving because I had a plan if I was to go into labor at 37 weeks or 40 weeks. I will definitely recommend this session to other women who are pregnant, being informed and able to advocate for yourself is essential to a healthy birth!

Jasmine | Jackson, TN

I truly appreciate all the knowledge that Caroline had to share during my virtual birth plan session. As a first-time mom, there was a lot that I did not know, therefore I am grateful. She had a very warm and kind spirit which made the information that much easier to digest. I would encourage all new moms, or moms in general, to do a session with Caroline. It’s worth it!

Cassandra | Atlanta, GA

I am very grateful to have participated in a virtual birth planning session with you! During a time in healthcare where self-advocacy is essential for not only addressing our wants but also our survival as a Black birthing woman, it’s more important than ever to set the bar of expectations for our births and our bodies. I appreciated the fact that you helped me to be aware of all of the options available to me but also grounded in the fact that flexibility is key during any birth let alone a birth during a pandemic. I felt I received the type of attention necessary for a meaningful and healthy birth. I left our session feeling empowered. Thank you!

Latisha | Raleigh, NC

Caroline was awesome. She helped me and my husband understand the different birthing options. This is an overwhelming process, but Caroline had an organized system to discuss the different options making the process easier to comprehend. She walked us through a comprehensive plan to discuss with our doctor and made us feel more comfortable at the end of the session. She was very thorough and answered all of our questions with illustrations to reinforce the information. We look forward to working with her again and would recommend her services for any parents-to-be!

Alana | Chicago, Illinois

I am so happy and thankful that I took a chance to talk with Caroline before my delivery! I completed her birth planning session this past weekend and left the virtual meeting feeling relieved and better prepared for the upcoming birth of my baby girl. She was so professional and knowledgeable about everything we discussed. What I loved the most about my session was her honesty and transparency. If she was not sure about something, she did not give false info, but gave me helpful tips on how to approach my provider to get the answers I needed to make informed decisions and be aware of my surroundings when that time comes! I am a first time momma, so she really helped me cope with that first time mommy anxiety and I highly recommend her! Also, looking forward to completing future sessions with her during my postpartum journey!

LaToya | Boston, Massachusetts

Caroline is simply AMAZING! I thoroughly enjoyed my complimentary birth planning session with this queen! All questions I had or things I was uncertain about prior to the session she was able to clarify and make sense of it. I have been passing her info along to other expecting families that I know of, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone that is anxious about bringing in a new addition to their family!!!!

Kiearol | Atlanta, Georgia

Caroline was Amazing!! She was so informative! She really listened to my thoughts and concerns. I enjoyed my birth planning session with her. She honestly has a beautiful and passionate soul. You can tell she loves and enjoys what she teaches and is so helpful. I will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know!! :)

Quality & Affordable Care!

Doulas are instrumental in improving maternal and child health, but they are a resource that is not often easily accessible, especially to those who need it most. I’m a birth and postpartum doula based in Miami looking to support individuals and families within their budget.

All payment can be made via Venmo, Cashapp, or Zelle. To maintain accessibility, I’m happy to provide a sliding fee scale for anyone that requires a reduced rate based on financial limitations. Details about the sliding fee scale will be provided upon request.
