Hi, I'm Brooke! I'm a professional birth and postpartum doula currently serving the costal North Carolina region. My mission is to nurture and nourish the families throughout their childbearing year.

There are moments in our lives that impact us for years and decades to come. Becoming a parent or welcoming a new little babe are those types of moments, as are the paths to conception and also the journey surrounding pregnancy loss. How we are treated during these seasons of life will and do have an impact on each one of us and often in different ways. My focus as a birthworker is to help you have a positive experience prenatally, during labor, birth, and postpartum. I provide gender-affirming perinatal support for pregnant people throughout the Wilmington area. I share fact-based information with clients so that they can make informed decisions about their care and that of their babe. I am passionate about every individual’s right to informed consent, informed refusal, and the options they have regarding every aspect of their care. Each pregnant person’s vision for their pregnancy, labor, birth, and transition to parenthood differs. No matter what your vision may be, as a childbirth educator and doula, I am there to unconditionally support you in your journey.

My name is Anya Lawrence. I am a Doula in Training located in Rocky Mount, NC.

We can work together to change all of these negative aspects.

I was blessed to attend my first birth at 18 and loved being a support for my friend. At that time in life, I didn’t know what a doula was or even that this was a career.

No matter what stage of pregnancy, I am a safe space for you. From 2018-2023 I had the opportunity to nurture and love babies from 0 to 24m in foster care. I brought several babies home from the hospital and was blessed to help them through their first few months, showing them what it means to be heard, supported, and loved.
