Dez Skalski

I began my doula career in 2021 and have since supported more than 100 families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, newborn care, and the transition into early parenthood. My clients have ranged from young and underserved parents navigating pregnancy with limited support to experienced parents welcoming their third baby. Through my experiences, the work I continually found myself drawn back to is education, especially helping first-time parents make sense of an experience that can feel incredibly overwhelming from the outside. Over the years, that passion has expanded beyond birth support into childbirth education, postpartum care, newborn education, and pediatric sleep.

We worked with Dez as a night nurse when our newborn was just a few weeks old, and we couldn’t have been happier with her care. She was professional, calm, dependable, and incredibly dedicated to helping both our baby and our family. What really made Dez stand out from others we had worked with was her ability to troubleshoot challenges as they came up. She brought a wealth of knowledge and insight, and she was always willing to share practical guidance that helped us better understand our baby’s needs and, ultimately, become a better sleeper. We always felt that our baby was in excellent hands, which gave us the peace of mind we needed during those early weeks/months. We would wholeheartedly recommend Dez to any family looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy member of their childcare team!

As a doula, it is my goal to support families in achieving positive birth experiences. I am a certified birth and bereavement doula, trained Hypnobabies® doula and placenta encapsulation specialist serving Huntsville and the surrounding areas. As your doula, I will support and guide you during your pregnancy and birth, assist you in developing a birth plan that feels best for you, give you access to my lending library and resources, as well as help you advocate for the birth you want. My journey to becoming a doula was born out of my own pregnancy and birth experiences. I am a mother to two children, a daughter born via cesarean birth in 2015 and a son born via VBAC (vaginal birth after c section) in 2017. It was after my c section that my interest in birth education and alternative birthing methods developed. When I learned I was pregnant with my son, I determined to VBAC for my second pregnancy. Knowing I may have some roadblocks on my journey to VBAC, I hired a doula to guide me through pregnancy and birth and empower me to advocate for myself. Having someone in my corner to give me resources as well as emotional support through out pregnancy made all the difference in my experience. Knowing firsthand how important it is to have support and resources throughout such a transformative time in your life, I strive to be a source of strength, knowledge, and empowerment as your doula on your journey to motherhood.

Hi, I’m Kristin! I’m a mom of five amazing children, two of which are grown now. Much of my life outside of work revolves around my family and our little farm in rural Alabama. Home is a busy mix of family and extra-curricular activities for the kids, farm animals, gardening, and whatever project I’ve decided to take on next. I love the slower, more grounded parts of life—getting my hands in the dirt, making things from scratch, caring for our animals, and spending time with the people I love. Motherhood was a dream from my earliest memories and has been one of the greatest influences on who I am. My own journey has included beautiful births and joyful seasons, but also pregnancy loss, perinatal mental health complications, grief, and the many unexpected ways motherhood changes us. Those experiences eventually became part of what led me into the work I do today as a counselor, birth and bereavement doula, and HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator. I believe you deserve to feel heard, respected, informed, and confident in the decisions you make for yourself and your family. I love helping parents understand their options, work through fears and uncertainties, and discover just how capable they already are. Whether I’m supporting someone through pregnancy and birth, preparing a couple for parenthood, or walking alongside a family through a difficult season, my heart is much the same: to meet you where you are, offer knowledge and compassionate support, and help you move forward with greater confidence and hope.

Karmen Johnson

Hi, I’m Karmen Johnson, and I’m passionate about supporting women through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys. My own health challenges, including my diagnosis of premature ovarian failure, inspired me to focus on empowering others to feel informed, confident, and cared for during one of life’s most transformative experiences. As a doula, I combine my personal experiences with my professional background to provide holistic, compassionate care. I earned my Master’s in Food and Nutritional Science at Tuskegee University, which deepens my understanding of prenatal and postpartum health. My experience in nutrition education and plant-based living allows me to offer guidance on how to nourish your body and mind during this special time. I take pride in creating a calm and empowering atmosphere where you feel supported and respected. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or adding to your family, my goal is to honor your unique vision for your experience. Why I’d Be a Great Fit as Your Doula • Empathy and Advocacy: My personal journey has shaped my commitment to being a strong advocate for you and your needs. • Holistic Support: With my background in nutrition and wellness, I offer practical guidance to help you feel your best throughout your pregnancy and beyond. • Calming and Supportive Presence: I’m here to create a peaceful, empowering environment where you feel heard and cared for. • Personalized Care: I listen to your needs and preferences to help you create a birth plan that reflects your values and ensures your voice is always at the center. I’d be honored to support you on your journey and help you feel confident every step

When I think back on my birth and postpartum journey, Karmen Johnson’s name shines brightly as one of the most pivotal and comforting presences in my experience. From the very first moment we connected, Karmen exuded warmth, understanding, and a deep passion for her work. She immediately made me feel seen, heard, and supported in a way I didn’t even know I needed. As my doula, Karmen provided not just practical knowledge but also emotional reassurance that carried me through the most vulnerable and transformative moments of my life. She was there calmly guiding me, offering comfort measures, and reminding me of my own strength when I started being hard on myself about my healing journey. Her presence brought an indescribable sense of peace to both me and my partner, who also felt incredibly supported under her care. During The postpartum period (can feel overwhelming and isolating) she checked in regularly, offering both physical help and heartfelt emotional support. Whether it was helping me with breastfeeding challenges, reassuring me through moments of doubt, or simply being a listening ear during late-night talks, Karmen made me feel like I wasn’t alone. She became an integral part of our family’s story, and I can’t recommend her enough to any parent seeking someone who will walk beside them with grace, expertise, and a heart full of love. If you’re fortunate enough to work with Karmen, know that you’ll not only gain a doula but a lifelong advocate, cheerleader, and friend.

Madelyn Washburn has been an incredible support throughout my pregnancy. Navigating a high-risk pregnancy can be overwhelming and emotional, but Madelyn has been a constant source of reassurance, calm, and strength during this journey. She truly listens, shows up, and makes you feel seen and supported. Her knowledge, patience, and compassionate approach have helped ease so many of my worries and given me confidence during a time that hasn’t always been easy. Knowing she will be there for our birth on May 24, 2026 as we welcome our baby girl brings me so much peace. If you are looking for a doula who genuinely cares, advocates for you, and supports you wholeheartedly, Madelyn Washburn is an absolute blessing and I highly recommend her.

Dez was our postpartum doula in Nashville and cannot say enough good things! She has amazing energy and I always looked forward to her visits. She is calming, helpful, and easy to talk to and gave lots of sage advice we used long after our “fourth trimester”. Would absolutely hire her again!

Dez is AMAZING! We used her as a night nurse for two of our infants. She has such a kind, easy demeanor and always felt so comfortable having her in our home. She’s wonderful with both our babies, and gave us such helpful tips to support gut health, sleep, and feeding. Would absolutely recommend using her for all your needs!
