Bio: Hi, my name is Nicole Hunter and my love for everything birth and babies began at an early age and has been growing ever since. It was intensified after the birth of my oldest son did not go as planned, resulting in an induction and cesarean section. My second birth was followed by a very rocky postpartum period that wasn’t realized until years later. I have always been passionate about helping people, but after having children that passion became focused on mothers and families.
I unofficially “doula-ed” for 9 years before becoming a trained and certified birth, postpartum, and newborn doula. After my initial training, I yearned for so much more knowledge and trained as Hypnobabies® Hypno-Doula, certified placenta encapsulation specialist, certified in CPR and First Aid, and I continue to train in other childbirth related areas. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, and traveling in my spare time. I am excited and honored to provide unforgettable experiences to women and their families.
I support individuals and families in hospitals, birth centers, and private homes in medicated, unmedicated, VBAC, cesarean, and high risk births. I also provide prenatal support including birth preparation, comfort measures for labor, formulating a birth plan, newborn care, hospital bag advisement, breastfeeding information, nursery/home staging, baby registry assistance, and more.

Short bio:
Hello! My name is Tashona. I was born in sunny Florida and raised in the wonderful state of North Carolina. As a 10 year military spouse I've moved many, many times and am thrilled to have landed back at home in North Carolina. My family includes my husband of over 20 wonderful years and our four amazing children. We live right outside of Charlotte in Midland, NC and love being out of the busy-ness of the city but close enough to the city to do the cool stuff. Outside of work I enjoy creating lifelong family memories, attempting all types of DIY crafts and projects (and sometimes actually completing them), fine tuning my green thumb, and learning from and sharing with women from every generation across all walks of life.
My heart for serving women gave birth to Viumbe Birth and Wellness, LLC. I believe strongly that I was created to help, serve, and care for others so that they can fully do what they were created to do. After becoming a licensed massage therapist in 2013 and specializing in women's wellness, my passion for the prenatal period led me down the path of becoming certified in Fertility Massage (for both partners), Prenatal, Labor, and Postpartum Massage, and Infant Massage instruction. These massage certifications are what introduced me to birth work and now I can't imagine doing anything else. I took my first doula training with DONA International in 2014 and a second with The Birth Well in 2016. In an effort to support as many growing families as I can I've added childbirth education, placenta encapsulation and a handful of other offerings to the services I provide. I enjoy building relationships with not only my clients but also other professionals and am happy to connect the two when needed.
Enough about me, I want to hear about you. Pregnancy is such a special time and birth is such a special event in your life, your baby's life, and your family's life. The way you experience it will create a ripple effect in your life. I would be honored to support you through it and help you create a positive ripple... whether you're planning a home, birth center, or hospital birth it should be a birth you recall with all the good feels for years and years. So, what excites you? What concerns you? I hope to hear from you so that we can discuss how I can best support you.

Short bio:
Rebecca Duerr is a Integrative Nutritionist, Certified Doula and Placenta Specialist, and loving wife and mother to her four daughters in Mooresville, NC. Rebecca specializes in working with women who would like to naturally improve their health, increase their fertility, have a positive natural pregnancy and birth experience and have a happy and relaxing postpartum period to enjoy their new baby. She gives women the support they need to have the personal life, pregnancy experience, and family life that they have always wanted and deserve.
Rebecca’s passion for helping women reach their health goals developed from her own experiences with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Her oldest daughter was born at home after a healthy pregnancy and her twin daughters were born naturally at a maternity center after another healthy pregnancy. She was able to use therapeutic foods as well as get the support she needed to have the pregnancies and births that she always imagined having. There is a lack of support for women who want to reach and maintain their optimal health before, during and after their pregnancy. Rebecca is that support. Her experiences, education and passion to help women during a time that can feel stressful, lonely and full of guessing games can lead to a more calm, fulfilling and satisfying motherhood.
Rebecca has a Master's of Science in Nutrition and Integrative Health, from the Maryland University of Integrative Health (MS). She is currently accumulating the required clinical hours to obtain her North Carolina Dietetics/Nutrition License (LDN), as well as her Certificate of Nutrition Specialist (CNS). She is also a CAPPA certified labor doula (CLD) and APPA Certified Placenta Specialist.

Bio:
Hi, I'm Staci. I am a Vermont native who moved to Charlotte, NC in 2014 and currently reside in Statesville, NC. I am a mother, partner, doula, educator, advocate, and ally and am truly honored to be supporting clients in North Carolina.
The birth of my oldest child in 2010 inspired me to follow my calling of birth work and in 2011, I began my journey as a doula with DONA. After the birth of my two younger children in 2015 and 2016, I began to actively support clients in their desired birth space. I am a strong believer in birthers, babies, and the inherent wisdom and instinctual capabilities within all of you to give birth in the way that suits you best. This means that no matter how you decide to give birth, I will be by your side, supporting you through your journey. I will hear you, respect you, and support you, 110%. Throughout my journey supporting clients of all cultures, beliefs, races, religions, and more, I can say that I have grown as a person and as a birth worker. The birth of your child is an experience you will never forget and in understanding this, am so honored to be invited into your space. I will never replace your partner, but rather help them support you. Your partner brings love and history with them and I bring skills and experience. Together, we create a beautiful support system for you. I am so excited to meet you.

Hi! I'm Kaitlyn, owner of Wild Mother Path! Wild Mother Path is a doula agency focused on women in their postpartum period so that they thrive and step into motherhood with confidence. Your postpartum should be a time of bliss where you can focus all your attention and energy on bonding with your new baby.
At Wild Mother Path, it is our joy to walk with you during your transition into motherhood whether you are having your first baby or tenth. Every mother deserves love and care in her postpartum. The demands that our modern society places on women to “bounce back” after birth are unrealistic at best, and at worst, harmful to both mother and baby. There is no “right” or “wrong” answer when it comes to your postpartum period. It is simply a time of finding what works best for your family. We know there is no one-size-fits-all approach for pregnancy, birth, or postpartum. Our team is dedicated to listening to your specific needs and caring for you and your baby exactly as you need us.
I personally meet with all our clients to help pair you with the most suitable doula for your family. When you work with Wild Mother Path, you have a team supporting you. If you are interested in doula support, I encourage you to schedule a free introductory call with me by clicking here.

Bio: Hi and welcome! My name is Laurynn Howard. I am a full spectrum doula serving families in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas. I offer antenatal support through various services including birth, sibling and postpartum doula, birth planning, lactation support, and placenta art and encapsulation. I am happily married to my other half, Colin, and have a sweet daughter, Olive, born at Natural Beginnings Birth Center in Statesville on April 30th, 2023.
The birth of my daughter opened doors in my soul that I didn’t know existed, and in response, I have developed an extreme passion for helping women and their families feel empowered, safe, and nurtured during birth. Whether you have had previous birth trauma, you want to achieve your first homebirth, have a successful VBAC, or you want to birth in the hospital, my goal is to have you leaving your experience feeling powerful, happy, accomplished, and that you had a voice that was heard and respected by your provider. I want to set you and your partner up with the tools to take charge of — and ENJOY — your birth as well as provide a space in which you feel the most loved and comfortable to welcome your newest blessing to the world, on your terms.
I’m beyond excited to connect with you, hear your story, and find out more about your desires for your birth
Thank you for being here.

Short bio: I am so glad you are here! My name is Kendall Francis. I am a birth doula and serve families in the Fort Mill and Charlotte surrounding areas during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I became a doula because I am so passionate about everything pregnancy and birth but most importantly because I believe women and their families need such a strong support system during this season in their life. I worked in the hospital system for almost 4 years got my LPN degree all to realize I wanted nothing more than to support women holistically. I believe with all my heart that it is OUR decision as women how our pregnancy journey should turn out and WE have the control, not our providers. That is where I come in as your doula to help educate and advocate for you every step of the way no matter what you decide for your birth. My job is to ensure that your birth is unbothered and you get the experience you deserve to birth in serenity.

When my parents raised me to follow my dreams, I did so quite literally. Since childhood I have had a keen interest in all things maternal, frequently dreaming of pregnancy and birth. After college, I made a list of all the things that I wanted to see and do in my life. Staring back at me from my bucket list was “be with a woman while she gives birth.” I realized that dream in 2005, facilitating the birth experience of my dear friends’ first child. The ecstatic moment of their son’s first breath convinced me of my calling to be a doula. Since that day, I have helped over a thousand people on their journey to parenthood and/or birthing. I was a doula for 10 years before becoming a mom myself and my own birth completed the circle for me of divine birthing. I have two boys and each birth was very different. I would love to share my birth stories with you. I love chai lattes, flip flops, long hair, cycle class, soccer, camping and bonfires, poetry, dancing, smiling, playing with my dogs, positive energy, sushi, tacos and queso, recycling, waterfalls, writing in my journal, hot yoga, talking, massaging, throwing pottery, giving every piece of my time and energy that I have to spare away and loving people.
How many births do you attend? I personally accept up to 6 private clients per month. My team of doulas in the Birth Story Charlotte Doula Collective always have availability and I am excited to help you find the right fit for your birth!
