nope! they're not the same. a midwife is a medical provider that specializes in low-risk birth. whereas a doula is a non-medical support person... consider them the same as a coach before & during birth. 

while my nursing experience is directly related to birth, I will not be able to perform in that role. when you hire me, my expertise as a labor nurse informs the way I support you. my experience assists in guiding you through birth with understanding of how the medical aspect works. 

in this broken healthcare system, birth is often viewed as a disease process that needs to be managed. this results in women feeling as though things are done TO them, instead of them being a part of the process. empowered birth centers families and supports autonomy & confidence. we believe birth should be an empowering experience.

our in-person services are best experienced in the Atlanta metro area. if you are not local, we have other ways to serve & your family. we're currently offering virtual childbirth education & birth coaching sessions worldwide!

we are so glad to have you & would love to support your journey in birth work! send us a message & we will connect with you.
