It is truly amazing to study the birthing process. The life of a baby changes the lives of so many people, and I always thank God because he chose me to be a small piece of His master plan for many women and their partners.
My desire was to have a house full of children. God allowed me to become a mother, and I birthed a baby weighing just 2 lbs. 7 oz. During my entire pregnancy, I had no clue what to do. I only wished I could’ve had someone in my corner giving me the emotional, informational, and physical support I needed. This is why serving as a DOULA is so important to me. I am an advocate for families during this process. I specialize in serving plus-size, high risk, and premature birth.

Angele

I was born in Florida but spent my childhood years  in the Caribbean connected more to my father's heritage.   My hometown at the time was very personable where everyone knew each other. That certainly came with its advantages and disadvantages, and if you're from a small town I'm sure you'll agree.
Many fun-filled moments were spent near the ocean or in the ocean growing up.  Today I am still very much connected to water in its many forms, whether that be oceans, lakes, rivers or pools. I am very much a nature person.  When I'm not busy working, I also enjoy  cooking, reading, music, and, dancing.  In addition,  I also enjoy adventure and meeting new people. 

I have always had a keen interest  in maternity from my adolescent years.  My interest grew more for the maternal experience during my clinical rotations in nursing school. During the course of my experience, I witnessed  the hard work and strength of women in the birthing space, as well as the joyous atmosphere upon the arrival of their newborns. Furthermore, I witnessed how knowledge and skill could save both mother and baby.  

I believe that my ability to listen, be calm and understand  allows me to create the birth environment that you need in order to strive towards the birthing experience that you desire.  ​

Robin

It’s my honor to provide exceptional, unbiased, and personalized support before, during, and after birth. I have served as a doula and birth advocate for family and close friends since 2006. I have more than 20 years professional experience in the healthcare industry as a compliance officer, government relations, and regulatory strategist. I've used my influence in these roles to change state and federal policies that regulate hospitals and insurance companies. This knowledge and professional experience affords me a unique perspective and insight to confidently remain your advocate regardless of where you choose to experience your baby's birth. I intend to equip you with evidence-based information and empower you to advocate for all that you desire regarding your pregnancy, postpartum and childbirth journey.
 
I also have my International Sports Science (“ISSA”) certification expanding how I can be a resource for birth clients who are actively or desiring to exercise safely in each trimester. Pre- and Postnatal exercise coaching can support the physiological and psychological aspects of your birth journey.

I am excited to serve you and your family in this unforgettable experience!

Domonique

Greetings! My name is Domonique Chattman. I am originally from Richmond, VA but have been in Charlotte, NC for 7 years. I'm a dedicated stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 3 children. Choosing to do both is evidence of my ability to balance the demands of parenthood with my advocacy work.
I'm committed to providing personalized care and support to expecting parents. I've gained extensive knowledge and expertise in assisting women during childbirth and empowering them to make informed decisions.
One of my greatest passions is working towards improving the safety of black women during labor. I'm acutely aware of the disparities that exist within the healthcare system and the disproportionate risks that black women face during childbirth. I truly believe that it's YOUR birth, YOUR choice and being your doula, I'll be there to fully support and root for you!

La Tanya

I am LaTanya, a Full Spectrum Doula, Yoga Instructor, Reiki Practitioner, Stretch Coach, Life Coach and Sacred Activist for life changing modalities. I am a mother of three (3) and grandmother of 7 of which I assisted with the birth of five of my grandchildren; Reign 13, Matea 7, Kekari 5, Cyneia 3 and Tavi 2. To witness and assist with the miracle birth of my grandchildren was the rite of passage to serve as a doula. 
According to maternal family oral history, both parents serve their communities as facilitators of healing. This included self-empowerment, self-healing, education, energy work, “Granny” midwifery, homeopathic remedies, and spiritual guidance.  I am a continuum of their mission and passion for wellness and life. So, the love for “Birth Work” is relevant to me and even coded in my DNA. I believe it provides a conduit for a reset to relational dynamics within the family and a healing balm to heal life where it appears broken or interrupted. Empowering Birth Parents to set their desired intentions to create an enriching birth experience that is safe, can provide a wholistic atonement for the family unit. 
Having 30 plus years of experience working with individuals and families, providing full wellness services, intuitive guidance, assisting them in reclaiming and understanding their natural birthright and sense of value as a contributor to life itself and society is a call I accept on my life. As a Doula Advocate and an innate nurturer, I will strive to provide you with inclusive and accessible Full Spectrum education and resources throughout the stages of your childbirth journey, while assisting you to identify your needs, aspirations and strengths through attentive intuitive listening and encouragement. I am so excited and grateful to take this journey with you and family. 
Much love and light always!

Kameela

I began my journey as a birth worker at the age of sixteen. I became serious and passionate about this path after witnessing first-hand the discrimination and disregard during a client’s delivery. In that moment I realized the need of advocacy and emotional support for mothers of color was needed more than ever! I am passionate about
empowering my clients to make informed decisions about their delivery and ensuring their voices are heard in all situations. Women of color are deserving of excellent care, and their bodies are more powerful than they may realize. It is a privilege to be considered to support you or your loved one through this momentous time!
