Birth and Postpartum Doula Services for Triad area families
As your Doula I warmly welcome you in birth and postpartum
to guide you with knowledgeable and comforting support
Your Comfort is My Passion
Doulas are the people who hold your hand through all the unknowns, stresses, and joys of the birth and the postpartum period.
My job is not to simply help you survive birth and postpartum, but to walk with you through all the intricate emotions of welcoming a new baby.
Empowerment, education, and hands-on care are something a doula can provide in a way no one else can. Whether that means teaching you about how your body is changing or doing baby laundry, a doula’s role is always to help you step into yours.
How I got here
I have always been drawn to newborns from the time I could hold a baby doll. When my younger brother was born I was enamored. During college I began to search for another field where I could help mothers with their infants. I worked in a daycare hoping this could be the career for me but I quickly realized that I wanted to have a deeper personal connection with the mothers and infants I worked with.
I delved into the field of Nannying and helped multiple families who all had infants. I loved the deeper personal connection but felt compelled to help mothers and babies in a more in-depth way. I wrestled with the decision to leave nannying but ultimately knew that I would be blessed when I followed the calling the The lord placed only heart. began the search for how I could best serve mothers and infants. I found the definition of a doula on a blog post and instantly knew this what what I was meant to be doing.
So I searched out other women who were doulas near me and I was connected with a woman who trains doulas. I spoke with her in a conversation that confirmed all that I was feeling and signed up for her next training. I did my training and became a postpartum doula about 6 months later. I have been serving the women around me ever since. In my years I have served many different women and babies in many different situations. I served women with one baby and women with multiples. I've served first time moms and fifth time moms. I have gladly helped bottle feeding moms and breastfeeding moms. I have served many different mothers and I have loved every single one of them through one of the most life altering times. I hope to show you love too and warmly welcome you and your baby to caring and compassionate care through pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Kind Words
"Absolutely loved having Brenna into our home, she was a wonderful help. She washed bottles and pump parts, helped fold clothes and stuffed cloth diapers. She held the baby, talked to the older kids and helped motivate my older children to clean the playroom. General adult conversation was wonderful when being a new again mom can be pretty isolating. Truly so nice and wonderful to have as a postpartum doula. I hate this was my last baby I would hire again!"
Madison Pennington, Mom of 3
“Brenna is an outstanding postpartum doula! She did so much to help our family during her time with us. She helped with the older children, snuggled my sweet baby boy and gave sound advice on how to help with baby boys development/nursing. She helped with laundry, dinner and so much more! I couldn't thank her enough for how helpful she was during my postpartum journey.”
Bethany Miller, Mom of 5
“I was so thankful to have Brenna's help after the birth of my third child. It was a big adjustment transitioning from 2 to 3 kids and having another set of hands was such a relief! Brenna played with my older kids, tidied up, folded laundry, and held the baby during her fussy time of the evening so that I could eat a full meal in peace. She was experienced and capable and willing to do whatever would be most helpful for me. That is truly invaluable during the postpartum period especially..”
Brittany Parker, Mom of 3

I refuse to be a doula who doesn’t acknowledge that black women are 2-3x more likely to die during childbirth than their white peers. I will loudly advocate for all of my clients however there is a special stand that needs to be taken for black mothers in particular!

I just finished my last shift with this sweet family. I started with them when their little boy was 4 days old. I have loved every moment of getting to know and nurture them and of course the baby snuggles. It’s hard to turn the next page and start with another family but I’m so excited to get to help the next mama
Pregnancy loss is not an April fools joke! 1 in 8 women struggle to get pregnant and 1 in 4 women have lost a baby. These statistics are heartbreaking and faking a pregnancy can reopen wounds you don’t even know someone has. Be kind this April fools day and keep your pranks non pregnancy related!

In honor of National Sleep day, which is this Friday!! I wanted to highlight my overnight care. Research shows that moms who get at least 8 hours of rest per day are more happy and recover faster from birth. This doula wants you to rest so you can recover faster and remember the happy times of the fleeting newborn days.

Moms need an uplifting village and I’m just one part to that as the postpartum doula!
It’s very hard for new moms to hear everything that went wrong with your pregnancy birth and postpartum. It can cause her anxiety about her own journey to motherhood.
Instead tell your expecting or new mom friend how excited and happy you are for them. Let them know that you’re willing to support their physical needs with food or by doing baby laundry.

The doula in me always wants to help!!!
This dark yellow milk is called colostrum! It is the first milk you will produce for your baby and it’s is the most nutrient dense! It’s great to store in the freezer if you have extras for future ailments.
DISCLAIMER: MOST moms will not make this much colostrum, this is from a mom who is a WAYYY over producer.
Offer ends tonight!

Peace, what every mother should feel after birth. Moms who have help in the postpartum period have more peace and get more rest. This helps the body heal from the major change that is birth. Hormones change drastically after birth as well casing about 1 in 7 women to experience postpartum depression. With the help of a postpartum doula moms can heal faster and have validated emotional states which can help a mother avoid or quickly treat postpartum depression.
