I truly LOVED bedside L&D nursing, however I was craving more of a long term connection with the amazing women and families I was serving. And lets be real... I could do with less charting, less intervention, and more focus on serving the women in front of me without policies and rules governing my care. I do not only want to help you birth your baby into this world, but walk along side you throughout your pregnancy and into postpartum!
You deserve to feel informed and supported about your birth preferences no matter what that looks like! So you’re probably wondering why a nurse became a doula? As a nurse, I have all the medical knowledge and training for labor and delivery but wanted to be able to better support my patients emotionally and physically to achieve the birth they desire. I offer my medical background and evidenced based research to support mamas to feel informed and empowered to make the decisions they feel is best for their birth!

My experience birthing our son truly filled my soul and has led me to be apart of numerous birthing experiences!

You must feel empowered to make the best educated decision possible for yourself during pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Hi, I’m Liz! I'm a wife, mama to 2 boys, and a certified labor and birth doula in Charlotte, NC. I am incredibly passionate about empowering and educating women so that they understand how much their bodies and minds are capable of. It is my desire for every woman to be informed and supported during pregnancy so that she can have a positive birth experience. There is nothing that brings me greater joy than supporting mamas and their partners through pregnancy, labor, and birth.
My passion for pregnancy and birth began when I was a teenager. Ever since, I’ve consumed every birth book, article, podcast, and documentary that I could get my hands on. I worked in the corporate world for nine years before finally following my heart and diving into birthwork. The doulas that I hired to support me were integral to my births being two of the most powerful, transformative experiences of my life, and it is an honor every time that I'm able to support other mamas in that way. When I’m not talking about pregnancy, labor, and birth, you can find hanging with my husband and boys, listening to live music, or spending time with girlfriends.
Hi, I am Adelle! I am a wife, mother of 5, and former labor & delivery nurse of more than 15 years! I served as a labor and delivery nurse in the United States Air Force for 7 of those years. Since leaving the military, I’ve continued my career as a nursing instructor, floor nurse, and now doula. During that time, I helped so many mothers and families through their ups and downs, joys and even heartbreak. Even as a trained nurse, I can remember wanting to reach out and ask others if everything was normal and okay.
Now, I enjoy the chance to be the trusted source of information and care that you, as a new (or repeat!) mother may need during this time. Becoming a doula has allowed me to have the best part of my nursing job: bonding with my patients and advocating for their needs. My goal is to help you create the pregnancy, labor and postpartum experience that you and your family truly desire. I would be honored to partner with you on this incredible journey!
Hello, my name is Diamond! I am a nurse, mom, and Certified Birth Doula. My fascination with birth began in my childhood. Growing up around farms I was surrounded by animal birth and it didn't take long for me to wonder why human birth often wasn't left as undisturbed and embraced as animal birth was. Through nursing school I loved getting to support women in bringing new life into the world, but frequently wished I'd had the opportunity to make sure they were empowered and educated before arriving at their birth .
This led me to becoming a doula! As a birth doula my goal is to make sure you feel educated, empowered and prepared to strive for the birth you've always dreamed of.
