Hello!! My name is Ocean, and I am a passionate birth doula based in Chapel Hill, NC. I am part of UNC Hospital’s ‘Birth Partners’ program, which is where I was trained. I feel centered and fulfilled when I am able to support people during this transformative, vulnerable, beautiful time. I love to approach the birth space from a mental wellness perspective to help create positive birth experiences! I love being very hands on, providing physical and emotional support. I want to help support and advocate for YOU to have the birth experience you are hoping for. Outside of my doula role, I am currently deciding on whether to pursue Nursing or Clinical Mental Health schooling. When I am not exploring these options, I love to read, explore outside, and play with the families I nanny for. All the best!

I am able to offer a virtual initial meeting to make sure we are a good fit. I am passionate about making sure birthing persons and their loved ones have the best possible birth experience. That can look like answering questions, helping birth spaces feel the most aligned with the environment you want, and physical and emotional support, all the while keeping in mind strategies to support mental wellness. I am recently birth doula trained this year, so my pricing is more flexible than more experienced doulas. With that said, I have been interested in this line of work for over a decade (I had wanted to be an OBGYN and have interned in said clinics). I have done trainings on peri/postpartum mental health and infant feeding, and have read extend on traumatic birth experiences and common birth interventions. I love the work that I get to do at UNC Hospital, and am seeking to expand my doula practice. I want to support you in the ways that are most beneficial for you and your loved ones!!
