Hello friends!! I wanted to properly introduce myself. My name is Kendall Francis. I am a christian certified birth doula. I serve mama’s in the Fort Mill and Charlotte surrounding areas during pregnancy and postpartum. I am married to my best friend, Collin Francis and we just had the most perfect baby girl, Saylor Grace Francis, born at home on July 31st, 2022. Our hearts are so full! 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 on several different units from ER to maternity, went to nursing school and 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. Whether that be at home, at a birthing center or a hospital, I will be by your side. If you would like to connect and talk more about your dream birth feel free to send me a message! I am so excited to meet you and your family!

I am a licensed midwife, with a passion for helping families throughout this amazing transformation in the comfort of home.

Hello! What an honor it is to be here, tending this gate of creation. My name is Katie Mayeux I am a full spectrum doula, energy worker, Breathwork facilitator, ceremonialist and student of the great mystery. I see birth as a rite of passage, an invitation into initiation, that deserves tending in both seen and unseen ways and realms. I have had the great blessing of living and studying with the elder traditional midwives in the highlands of Guatemala. I traveled to these lands and women, who hold and tend birth and postpartum as ceremony, a rite of passage, and an invitation to slow down and tend this sacred time and portal as a family grounds into form and the nervous system settles into a healthy stable foundation. I hold community circles, closing of the bones ceremonies, and much more. Reach out to connect and drop in.

Greetings! I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself and share some facts about the role of a "Doula" or a "Birth Companion". First of all, you can call me Doula Komla (aka, Tabetha Cunningham). I have approximately 33 years of experience in the Human Services field, but in May of 2021 I answered the call to become a Certified Wholistic Birth Doula. I had the awesome pleasure of studying under Mama Mawusi Ashshakir, founder of The Mothership. What is a doula, you may ask. A doula is a trained companion who supports women through pregnancy, childbirth, miscarriage, lactation and other postpartum events. This is a huge undertaking for me but I am so excited to share what I've learned and to support women through the birthing process. I am currently offering my services at discounted rates and for a short amount of time I will tailor services to meet your budget. If you have questions or want to learn more about what I do, please contact me! Let's birth some babies!! KOMLA

Hi there! I am a current IBCLC student and I have both a doula certification and a lactation educator certification. I have worked with first time parents and even parents having their 5th child. I am no stranger to the ins and outs of having babies and raising kids. I strive to always better myself, I am always reading and learning, so that I can best support the families that I work with. I really aim to support mothers to the best of my abilities. I understand the pros and cons of interventions and can help you understand them as well. I will help you advocate for your dream birth and I will support you with whatever you need.

After a beautiful and empowering first birth, although it didn't go according to my original vision, a fire was lit to come alongside families in their own birth journeys. As a doula, I will support you whether you choose a home birth, a planned cesarean, or anything in between. My goal is that you know your options, are supported in them, and are surrounded by feelings of safety and love. I have worked in a variety of capacities before arriving in the birth world. I studied Exercise Science in college, where I learned the amazing things our bodies are capable of when we treat them properly or move them in certain ways. I've worked as an exercise physiologist in cardiac rehab, and as a wellness coach in a hospital setting. I was in full-time ministry, working with college students and teenagers. In that capacity, I learned to meet people where they're at, to comfort and to “hold space” for someone. These experiences brought me to a new understanding of wholeness - body, mind and spirit. This set me up perfectly to team up alongside women in their birth journeys - one of the most life-changing events we can experience!

I promise I am judgement free and come with over 12 years of doula experience! I am so honored you're here and I look forward to supporting you as you grow your family. I support families in all birthing locations in the greater Charlotte, LKN, and Catawba areas (40-50 miles from Cornelius, NC) and those who desire unmedicated births all the way to scheduled cesareans. My only intention for you is that you get the birth you desire. That you walk away from your experience empowered and glowing. I'm huge on continuity of care, so I also value showing up for my clients in their postpartum period as a doula, lactation consultant, and friend.
