Meet Your Birth Team
Hi, I’m Melanie!
I’m so glad you are here. I am a labor doula, child birth educator and placenta encapsulation specialist.
I am originally from Puerto Rico, and my journey as a doula started when I was asked to support a friend of mine during the birth of her daughter a little bit after the birth of my second child, that was the day I knew I wanted to become a doula.
I have two children of my own and having them completely unmedicated ignited in me a passion and love to serve others.
I am a doula because I love people, I love to empower women, I love babies, I love birth, I love to care for people and love watching families grow. I have been supporting families as a doula for 11 years now and have attended more than 200 births.
I Hope you have the best birth experience ever and cannot wait you meet you!
I’m Lakeisha Williams!
I am a native child of Michigan, but I’ve made Georgia my permanent home.
To me, birth is one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever been a part of!
As a mother of five, my children are a true blessing, but the experience I had with giving them life was horrible.
As I began working in the medical field, I found new experiences around birth. I saw alternatives that created a loving environment around the mother.
The path to find that inner strength that all women possess, is why I became a doula.
On my journey, I have met and learned from seasoned doulas and midwives, and have discovered that I can make a difference in families lives by helping mothers use their inner strength to welcome new life into the world.
TOGETHER, we can do it!
I am Ashley Claxton!
I am a native from Delaware and have lived in Atlanta for twenty plus years.
Being a medical assistant in the GYN field has allowed me to care for women, but I have always thought it was never enough for me to make an impact.
As a mother of two, I can’t say that I had traumatic birth experiences but they were very robotic. My births did not allow for guidance, intuition, and self awareness. Both my births were medicated, because I viewed birth as pain, never having been told anything different.
When I was introduced to being a doula my whole perspective changed. I realized that I had every tool I needed to make my birth the experience I deserved.
As women, we don’t give ourselves enough credit for the things we have been chosen to conquer.
For my mommies, I hope to offer the support needed so you can feel extraordinary, strong, and capable!
