  • I currently serve all of Middle GA - Macon and surrounding areas. I also offer extended support in outside areas via remote/virtual means as well.

  • No, I am not. Doulas are not required to be certified. This was a personal choice for me. I completed doula training and fulfilled my requirements with Bebo Mia, LLC. However, chose to not certify. I have training for both doula support, childbirth education, and am CPR certified. I also completed additional trainings to provide my clients with the very best and most helpful, up to date information in many areas, including lawful knowledge.

  • I offer services for donation and “pay what you can” options. Exchanging energy from both sides is to always be respected so to ensure I can accommodate families and still honor my own health, some services are fully donation based with minimums and others have set rates.

    I try my best to work with parents desiring my care by creating a financial plan that will work for both parties.

  • Since I’ve elected to not be certified by specific certifying bodies - insurance companies will likely not cover costs if you decide to retain my energy. But depending on your insurance, you may be able to have all or some of the cost covered by insurance. It doesn’t hurt to ask them.

  • A doula is responsible for enhancing your birth or postpartum experience. I provide my expertise + encourage everyone to participate in the process as much as they desire. My gift is to offer support, not just for you, but also to everyone there to support you along the way. I can teach your support system appropriate comfort measures during labor + postpartum that others may not.

  • I do not speak on your behalf or intervene with medical care without consent or having a Power of Attorney in place. I simply act as a mechanism that helps improve the communication between you, your medical professionals, and your support team. I step in if things get heated or if my moral compass demands such a need. This includes reminding you of your desires and ensuring you have a voice in a room full of uncertainty. I respect any and all choices you make.

  • It’s never too late, beloved.
