My doula journey began 5 years ago while living on the beautiful island of Hawaii. Living in Hawaii was such an experience for me. The culture and dynamic there was truly eye opening, especially the birth culture. I started supporting clients during the peak of covid, which led me to really focus on childbirth education due to the limitations in the hospitals at the time. My first two babies were the traditional induction/hospital births and after my training and working with families, I was able to apply my knowledge with my last baby. I hired a doula for myself and was able to see how wonderful our bodies truly are. My passion for birth and supporting women only grew from here. I am so passionate about bringing families the education and support they desire while they embark on this wonderful journey of parenthood!

I have been a birth/postpartum doula for almost a year. I have experiences in both the home and hospital. I also have my placenta encapsulation certification and breastfeeding peer support certification. I have assisted numerous families with breastfeeding. My friends and family calls me the breastfeeding guru. I have 2 boys and they are the reason why I am in the line of work today. I have had both hospital and home birth experiences with my two. I’ve breastfed my oldest for 2 1/2 years and I am currently breastfeeding my now 2 year old. I believe that every birthing person’s journey through pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum is very sacred and needs to be supported in every way.

I’m currently a ProDoula Certified Labor Doula (CD-L) + A Dona International Certified Doula (CD). I am also a Certified Fertility Doula (CFD), Reproductive Health Specialist (RHS), Postpartum Doula (PPD), Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), and Infant Feeding Specialist (IFS). I know it’s a mouthful but it was all totally worth it. ​ I support unmedicated and medicated births and believe they are both outstandingly beautiful. I also specialize in working with LGBTQ+ families. I am obsessed with multiples as a result of my younger twin siblings, Claire and Cooper. Thankfully, my obsession has led me to experience some amazing twin and triplet births (vaginal and cesarean). I also fully support and love those who birth their babies from their bellies. I now offer planned cesarean support as well! ​ I have been trained in a variety of comfort measure techniques including, rebozo, acupressure, massage, guided meditation, and aromatherapy. I am a certified Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula. Additionally, I have significant experience with clients using other forms of Hypnosis for birth. ​ I have a fierce desire to help clients who struggle with walking a unique fertility path. As the first Fertility Doula in Charlotte, NC, I know just how much support surrounding fertility complications and infertility is needed in our community. I have recently started organizing a collective of doulas committed to offering support to families and individuals undergoing any fertility assistance. Fertility work has led me to find passion in also supporting families with surrogates and those going through surrogacy. ​ Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding, pumping, supplementing, and formula feeding are all journeys that I’m in full support of and have significant experience with as well. Cultivating an environment where you can bond with your baby, no matter how you feed them, is one of my favorite things to curate for clients. ​ I’ve always loved supporting people - the deeply and passionately really truly type of love. There is nothing that has ever compared to feeling like I’m living my purpose. Being a doula isn’t what I am meant to do. Being a doula is what I was born to do.

Simone has been holding space for expecting and postpartum families for over 10 years. Birth has a powerful way of healing and transforming you, and her first birth did just that. The ability to have 2 empowered births the way she wanted, gave light to the need for advocacy, education and doula support amongst the birthing community, especially black families. Simone is a mother, doula, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, childbirth educator and infant sleep educator. She has been teaching and mentoring doulas along the way and excited to dive deeper into holding the hands of the next generation of birth workers.

I have worked in pediatrics since 2012 but have always been passionate about lactation due to my own personal struggles while breastfeeding my son. I made it my mission to help others and have been an IBCLC (Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant) since 2021. I struggled with my supply, latching, pain, and an undiagnosed tongue tie but I also struggled with postpartum anxiety, depression and OCD. I specialize in perinatal mental health and feel that it's a vital area to take into consideration with lactation. I'm also a local La Leche League leader and feel that peer support plays a role in both success and confidence. No matter how you choose to feed your baby, I aim to provide the resources and education necessary to help you achieve YOUR goals. I look forward to meeting you and your baby!
