Hi there! I'm Stefanie. I'm a birth doula, Lamaze educator, and placenta encapsulation specialist. I'm also a wife, mama to two sweet girls, and yoga enthusiast. I am so passionate about supporting new families as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Truly non-judgemental support means being there for you no matter how and where you choose to give birth. |

Hello! I'm Melissa. I'm a birth doula, postpartum doula, and breastfeeding counselor. I have 5 children, 3 of whom I birthed. My 3 radically different birth experiences led me to understand that the more support I had throughout my pregnancy and birth, the more empowered I felt. I am constantly seeking out new information for the families I support to help empower them to make the best informed decisions for themselves through their transition into parenthood. |

Hi! My name is Chelsey and I am a North Georgia birth photographer. I feel absolutely honored when I am chosen by a family to document their birth. Birth is such a beautiful moment and I strive to capture all of the emotion, strength, empowerment, and love that is present and to create a story that you can forever look back upon. |

"Stefanie is an incredible doula. She had an immeasurably positive impact during my labor and the birth of our son. She not only supported us during labor, she empowered and educated both my husband and I beforehand. She is calm, supportive and educated. You'll be in excellent hands on this incredible journey!"- Megan, Atlanta |

We also support women birthing with the Atlanta Birth Center and those planning home births.
-Melissa was AMAZING. I believe I owe it to her that my labor progressed as quickly as it did. Without Melissa, I fear that I may have been in the hospital for labor for several days. Melissa was a super calming presence in a situation that made me very nervous. I had back labor and was in extreme pain. Melissa helped with laboring in different positions, massaging my back, different breathing methods, and just being awesome. She really helped guide me through my journey... I would strongly recommend hiring Melissa. -Melissa C, Atlanta |
I am so incredibly thankful for the support that Stefanie gave me during my pregnancy and delivery. I am a third time mom and was looking for a natural delivery with the support of a doula. I found Stefanie on social media and while talking with her for the first time I immediately knew we were a match! I was able to have my dream of a natural delivery with a midwife in the hospital setting. Stefanie can help you have the experience you dream of- I am so thankful to have found her! |

Having doula support with Melissa and Stephanie was an amazing experience for me. When I first met with them I learned so much and I loved their warm and engaging personalities. One of the things they mentioned is that they were going to be my husband and my new best friends, and they truly were! They were there for any questions we had during pregnancy, they were there when I switched my birth plan from a hospital birth to a home birth at 39 weeks pregnant (due to covid). Melissa knew when to come over to my house when I was in labor, despite me thinking I had it under control. I had an absolutely amazing birth experience, I felt in control, supported, and empowered throughout. After my birth, they stayed in touch and helped me with all my post partum needs. My sweet little bean is almost 4 months old and we are still in touch. Hiring a doula is the best thing you can do for yourself and Melissa and Stephanie are true experts and friends! - Jene, Atlanta Stefanie was the most amazing doula! She was with us for our first baby’s birth and we had her again for our second! She was just what we needed to feel confident in having a natural home birth. She had great techniques for pain management and was a wealth of information. Couldn’t have done it with such peace without her! - Victoria, Atlanta |
