Who I am

Devoted to supporting families through the early years of parenthood — one of life’s most tender and transformative journeys.

I’m DeShonda — but most people call me Dee. I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula, and I support women through one of the most life-changing seasons they’ll ever experience.

As a Black woman and a mother, I understand how important it is to feel heard, respected, and truly supported during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This work is personal to me not just something I do, but something I care deeply about.

I’m here to guide you, advocate for you, and help you feel confident in your choices. Whether it’s emotional support, hands-on comfort during labor, or helping you adjust once your baby is here, you don’t have to do this alone.

FAQs

  • It’s ideal to hire a doula early in your pregnancy, as we can assist with prenatal planning, provide early education, and build a trusting relationship. However, it’s never too late to seek support—if you’re closer to your due date, we’d still be honored to work with you!

  • Postpartum doula visits focus on your recovery and adjusting to life with your newborn. We provide breastfeeding support, newborn care guidance, help with light household tasks, and offer emotional support to ensure you feel confident and rested as you transition into parenthood.
