"I cannot recommend Brandi highly enough. As a Christian Doula, she brought a sense of peace and spiritual grounding to my birth space that I didn't even know I needed. What truly sets Brandi apart is her heart for advocacy. My birth ended up being the complete opposite of my original plan in every way possible, but Brandi didn't blink. She pivoted instantly, ensuring I felt heard, supported, and empowered even as the circumstances changed. She wasn't just there for the 'perfect' birth; she was there for my birth. To top it off, her postpartum services are incredible. The placenta encapsulation has been a huge help in my recovery, and the placenta prints and cord preservation are such beautiful, sacred keepsakes that I will treasure forever. If you want a doula who is professional, deeply faithful, and a fierce advocate for your well-being, Brandi is the one."

I'm a passionate birthworker since 2020, specializing in Lamaze/Breathology, childbirth education, prenatal yoga, and birth/postpartum doula services. Based in McComb but originally from Cincinnati, I proudly serve the wonderful communities of Southwest Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana In 2024, I took a big step in my career by deciding to begin my midwifery journey, and fully stepping into my midwife era. Now, as an apprenticing midwife/monitriece, I focus on traditional midwifery and herbalism, bringing ancient wisdom to modern birth practice, while still also serving the community as a full spectrum doula. As a homeschooling mom of three energetic, young, vivacious girls, I deeply value the importance of providing comprehensive and compassionate care to families during the childbearing year. I'm dedicated to empowering women and their families to make informed choices about their birth and postpartum experiences, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.

My experience with Herlistic Living was truly professional, meaningful, and beyond my expectations. From the very beginning, Mrs. Adriana Hawkins-Smith was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. She took the time to answer every question I had thoroughly and clearly, whether it was by phone, text message, or during our in-person conversations. Her communication was consistent, reassuring, and made me feel completely confident throughout the entire process. The transfer of my placenta from the hospital to her care was smooth and stress-free, with no issues at all. Mrs. Hawkins-Smith handled everything with the utmost professionalism and respect. She did an amazing job preparing my placenta fertilizer, and the umbilical cord gift was beautifully done and very meaningful to me. I am truly grateful for her care, attention to detail, and dedication to her work. I sincerely thank her for everything she has done for me and would highly recommend Herlistic Living to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, and trustworthy services.

From such a young age, we are taught to fear birth. We are told that birth is a something that we have to get through in order to have a baby. Birth is demonized and seen as dangerous and something that must be managed. But the more and more that I do this work, the more and more that I just cannot believe this is true. Yes, birth is intense, and birth is hard. But birth is not bad, it is not something that we need to avoid or get through. When given the space and care, birth transforms us. It can show you your strength, it can empower you, it can call you to lean on the love and support of the ones around you. Birth asks you to make space for the parts of yourself that we so often try to hide. It asks you to draw inward and trust your intuition and be loud and take up space.  My job as a doula is not to be your voice or to make your birth happen any specific way, but it is to make space for your voice to be heard and make space for you to have autonomy over your body and decisions. It is to join you in holding the physical intensity of birth. Nothing that I do can take that away, but my goal is to help you know that you are never alone in walking through it, and hopefully give you tools and options to support your body. Your birth is your birth, not mine, not your sisters, not your parents.  I am a body positive, lgbtq+ affirming doula. I have a special interest in supporting clients in low-intervention, physiological births, with an emphasis on following your intuition and values. I understand that the world does not treat us all equally; my mission is to ensure that all people are able to have access to affirming, compassionate, and empowering care.

Hi, I’m Hannah — a doula with a heart for women and a passion for presence. My journey into birth work began in 2022, rooted in deep research, prayer, and a growing conviction that every woman deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered during birth. With a background in English from the University of Kentucky, I’ve always been drawn to storytelling and the power of listening — both of which now shape how I support families in one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives. I’ve always been empathetic by nature, and stepping into the role of a doula felt like a natural extension of who I am. I believe birth is not only a physical event but an emotional and spiritual one too, and I’m here to walk alongside women and their partners—helping them feel grounded, informed, and confident every step of the way. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I’m honored to support your choices and hold space for your unique experience. I believe “life isn’t meant to be a sprint but a pilgrimage” - being a doula is one of my pilgrimage stops...

Hannah empowered us through education. She was always prepared and handled complex situations and emotions with compassion and strength. She shared in our prenatal excitement, provided an encouraging and empathetic presence during the exhaustion of a long labor, and held my hand gently through processing tough post-partum emotions. She helped me to reframe my experience in ways that reduced self-criticism and increased gratitude. I truly believe that her guidance and support contributed to my daughter's and my good health and positive outcomes in labor and delivery because she provided such well-researched information and the space to make informed decisions. I consider myself to be well-researched and educated about childbirth, and she still offered new and helpful insights to me every time we spoke! As a doula, Hannah is rock-solid in her knowledge, faith, communication skills, and ability to provide emotional support. Her approach is holistic and comprehensive- I believe that if my labor went completely differently, she would have been just as well-equipped and unflappable. I'm so happy that we got to be a part of Hannah's early career as a doula, and I highly recommend her services. Thanks again, Hannah! My husband and I will be forever grateful for your help in bringing our daughter into the world.
