My name is Hannah Shaw and I am a traditional Christian midwife. My passion is to serve women in the childbearing years. What started as a desire to help reduce unnecessary cesareans, turned into a journey to help all women feel empowered by their birth experiences. Giving women informed choice, so that way we can change the narrative on birth one generation at a time.

I am a *full-spectrum* Birthkeeper serving Braxton & surrounding areas. I prefer to keep my travel within an hour's radius but am often still able to travel a 2-3 hour range for the right fit; based on service agreements already in place. As a free birth mama, I support those making the best choices for their families. I will ALWAYS support and encourage the right to *Informed* consent AND denial. Many will say that we shouldn't let our own personal bias determine our services. I disagree. I think it is what makes us better supports for those that need us. I have dedicated almost half my life to self-study in all things natural living: Holistic Health, Biological Parenting, Psychophysiological Birth. It is my greatest passion to provide this valuable information as needed so you can take the reigns in creating healthier lives for yourself and your family.

Hello, everyone my name is Jacqueline Boyd and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula located in Morgantown, West Virginia.

As a doula, I am here to empower, educate, and walk alongside you, ensuring you feel heard, confident, and deeply supported every step of the way. I believe birth is not just about the moment of delivery- it's about the whole experience, from preparation to postpartum healing.

Hello! I’m Hannah Palmer, and I am a DONA-trained doula. I am located in Clarksburg, WV, and will be serving clients in the North Central WV and surrounding areas. I have been drawn to the miracle of birth and children for as long as I can remember. I have firsthand experience with breastfeeding my own two children, and have seen the vast benefits for myself and, most importantly, my children. When doing my own research, I discovered that the Appalachian mother has encountered some challenges, such as lack of support, limited information on the birth process, and massive gaps in the care accessible in the area. I then began to research alternative birth options and discovered the world of a trained Doula. Giving birth to a child is an amazing and life changing experience. I believe that every woman deserves a birth that is supported and honored by a group of people that include her wishes and desires during the planning period and ultimately, the birth itself. My goal is to provide you with all the compassion, guidance, and confidence throughout the entire experience. In addition to the fact that I have completed the necessary training to become a licensed Doula, I also have experience providing support for friends and family during their birth journeys, and providing instruction and encouragement as they become a breastfeeding Mom. Finally, I have two children of my own, and have given birth to one of them at home. I would be honored to connect with you! Please tell me your story!
