My name is Rebecca Duerr (pronounced DO-err). I am the founder of Mindful Family Wellness, Certified Labor Doula, Postpartum Doula, Certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator, a North Carolina Licensed Nutritionist, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Certified Placenta Arts Specialist. I live just north of Charlotte, NC, in the Lake Norman area with my husband, 4 daughters, and lots of fur babies.

I use such tools and services as childbirth education classes, doula support through pregnancy, labor/birth and postpartum, as well as nutritional guidance and education for both mother and baby. Providing these services has been shown to increase positive birth outcomes, reduce cesarean section births, reduce postpartum mental disorders such as postpartum depression/anxiety (PPD/A) and postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder, (PPTSD) increase breast/chest-feeding success and duration, and strengthen the holistic health of both parent and child. As you can see, I offer a number of different services. As a NC Licensed Nutritionist, I provide integrative and functional nutrition counseling for the entire family. I also provide doula support, including pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am a Hypnobirthing® childbirth educator and have new classes starting monthly. The beauty of providing these services is that I can help you in one area or in many. I can see you or your family for nutritional guidance. I can see you for pregnancy and birth support, as a doula. Or we can combine these services. The possibilities are endless.

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.
