Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Lynchburg, VA

I’m Chantel Spinner, a certified birth and postpartum doula, lactation support counselor, Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) advocate, and support group facilitator proudly serving Lynchburg, Virginia, and surrounding areas. A Lynchburg native, wife, and mother of two incredible daughters, I bring not only professional training but lived experience and deep roots in this community. I hold a degree in Sociology with minors in Human Services and Gender Studies from Randolph College, and I am also a Notary Public for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Supporting pregnant individuals is more than my profession. It is my calling. As a strong advocate for reproductive justice, I am committed to creating safe, empowering spaces where bodily autonomy is respected, voices are amplified, and compassionate care is the standard. Witnessing the stark disparities in maternal health, particularly the alarming maternal mortality rates among Black women, fueled my decision to become a doula and deepen my advocacy. Through The Melanin Fluent Doula agency, I offer culturally fluent, holistic support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum journey. My services are designed to nurture, empower, and educate families as they navigate one of the most profound transitions of their lives. Beyond birthwork, I am a certified peristeam facilitator trained through Steamy Chick, following my own positive experiences with vaginal steaming for menstrual wellness. In 2021, I earned certification as a lactation support counselor, with a focus on bridging gaps in breastfeeding support for Black families and fostering a more inclusive, informed community. I am also a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Advocate, dedicated to providing compassionate, affirming support for individuals and families navigating grief and loss, an area of care that is deeply needed and too often overlooked. As a support group facilitator, I create intentional, trauma-informed spaces where participants are encouraged to share openly, build community, and move from isolation toward connection and strength. Currently, I am expanding my knowledge as an amateur herbalist, reconnecting with the healing traditions of my Black Southern heritage and grounding my practice in holistic wellness. I may not be able to change every outcome, but I believe deeply in my ability to make a meaningful impact in my community, one birth, one family, and one moment at a time.

Hi! I’m Rachael, a birth and postpartum doula and the heart behind ShenanDoula. As a mom of 2, I know how vulnerable and powerful birth can be, and I’m here to make sure you never feel alone in it. My goal is simple: to help you feel calm, informed, and supported so you can step into your parenthood with confidence and trust in yourself. In my free time, I enjoy baking, reading, and spending time with family.

"I wish I knew about this sooner!" I hear this phrase frequently by newer parents. A s a Doula, I provide more than ice chips and a hand to crush during labor. I specialize in perinatal anxiety & mood disorders (PMAD) and provide education, resources, and support for those who think they may, or are already experiencing PMAD's. This transition is hard. It's not just welcoming home a new baby, it's radically accepting a new identity, a new routine, a new personality of yourselves. Theres no reason to have to struggle through alone thinking something is wrong with you. This is very common. I'd love to help you adjust in the ways that matter; relevant education, real-life local resources, and hands-on support.

My name is Noelle Voltz-Mongold (BCD), and I’m a Full Spectrum Doula serving the Shenandoah Valley, including Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Augusta County, and Charlottesville. My journey into birth and reproductive support began in 2020 in Northern Virginia, where I first felt called to walk alongside individuals during some of the most powerful and vulnerable moments of their lives. After moving to the Valley and settling into this beautiful community, I founded Embers of Empowerment Doula Services — a name that reflects my core mission: to help ignite the inner strength that already lives within you. I believe that everyone holds embers of empowerment; sometimes, we just need the right support to help those embers grow into a steady, roaring fire. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, birth, postpartum, abortion, loss, or any part of your reproductive journey, my role is to ensure you feel empowered, heard, and respected every step of the way.

Hi there! I have a huge passion for children and their families, and I strive to provide the best care possible. I have 12 years of childcare experience. This includes church nursery, date nights, two summers of full time nannying, after school nannying, and much more. I love interacting and playing with the kids I watch, at whichever developmental stage they are in. I hold a Bachelors in Psychology, and have two years of experience working as an RBT, supporting children with autism and their families by providing behavioral therapy services and education to families in this population. My experience working both in childcare and as an RBT has taught me much patience and understanding. Each child and family is unique, and understanding, kindness, and empathy go a long way. I am currently working remotely as a Healthcare Advocate, and my schedule is very flexible. Working as a nanny for so many years, I have always adored the littles! Recently, I’ve decided to pivot my career path and am certified now as a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula. I am very passionate about mother-baby care, and I love providing education and resources to families in such a vulnerable stage of life, and find myself thriving and enjoying these opportunities. As previously mentioned, my schedule is currently somewhat flexible, and I can often make odd times work here and there if needed. I am looking to work overnights a few days a week, but am open to other ideas as well! I am CPR certified and can provide references if you would like. I would love to chat about what I offer, and see if it’s a good fit for both parties!
