Find a Doula Near Me in Lynchburg, VA

I’m Chantel Spinner, a certified birth and postpartum doula, lactation support counselor, and PAIL (Pregnancy and Infant Loss) advocate proudly serving Lynchburg, Virginia, and surrounding areas. A Lynchburg native, wife, and mother of two incredible daughters, I bring not just 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’s 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 norm. Witnessing the staggering disparities in maternal health — particularly the alarming maternal mortality rates among Black women — fueled my passion to become a doula. Through The Melanin Fluent Doula, 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, after personally experiencing the benefits of vaginal steaming for menstrual wellness. In 2021, I earned certification as a lactation support counselor, committed to bridging the gaps in breastfeeding support for Black families and creating a more inclusive, informed community. I am also a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Advocate, dedicated to providing compassionate support for those navigating grief and loss — an area where support is deeply needed and too often overlooked. 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 all outcomes, but I believe deeply that I can impact my community — one birth, one family, one moment at a time.

"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.

I am someone who truly listens to what moms want and need. I believe that every future mother should not only be able to have a birth plan but that every birth plan goes as planned. I am a mother of 3. I have had 3 sections but also know what it’s like to have dreams of wanting to have a vbac and not being successful. Just because my birth plan wasn’t successful doesn’t mean yours has to be too.
