Hi, I’m Julie. I’m so glad you’re here! My passion for birth and motherhood started at a young age. All I ever wanted to be was a mom. After I had my fifth baby I felt sad realizing that this part of my life was over. I soon discovered that my calling to serve mamas as a birth doula however was just beginning. My hubby has been there beside me through it all as our children have been born naturally in both hospital and home settings. I use that firsthand knowledge now to serve you with not just my rigorous training and certification through Birth Arts International, but also through my own personal experience. I was introduced to essential oils in 2014, and every day since then has been a family journey to more natural patterns of health and wellness. I have seen and experienced success time after time using the oils throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and with a newborn. I feel confident in my ability to protect my family’s health no matter what is going on around us, and that’s something I enjoy paying forward to other moms and families.

Josie worked for my family as a nanny to my son, from age 3-10 months. She took excellent care of him and was always so engaged and caring. Her commitment to him and his development meant the world to us.

Hello friends!! I wanted to properly introduce myself. My name is Kendall Francis. I am a christian certified birth doula. I serve mama’s in the Fort Mill and Charlotte surrounding areas during pregnancy and postpartum. I am married to my best friend, Collin Francis and we just had the most perfect baby girl, Saylor Grace Francis, born at home on July 31st, 2022. Our hearts are so full! I became a doula because I am so passionate about everything pregnancy and birth but most importantly because I believe women and their families need such a strong support system during this season in their life. I worked in the hospital system for almost 4 years on several different units from ER to maternity, went to nursing school and got my LPN degree all to realize I wanted nothing more than to support women holistically. I believe with all my heart that it is OUR decision as women how our pregnancy journey should turn out and WE have the control, not our providers. That is where I come in as your doula to help educate and advocate for you every step of the way no matter what you decide for your birth. Whether that be at home, at a birthing center or a hospital, I will be by your side. If you would like to connect and talk more about your dream birth feel free to send me a message! I am so excited to meet you and your family!

Kendall is truly one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met. From the moment I met her I knew I wanted her as my doula. She made me feel loved, comforted, cared for, amongst so many other things. For my birth, she came as soon as I felt I needed support and stayed through the postpartum period, over 24 hours. She didn’t even talk about leaving me during this time and stayed through it ALL. She supported every decision I made, encouraged me to make position changes to help progress my labor, prayed over me, held a fan to my face for HOURS, spoke kindly and softly and was just everything I needed. She started as my doula and I now consider her one of my closest friends. I love her so much. She’s truly made for this!

Hello! My name is Racquel. I am an advocate to my core. I have always been passionate about advocacy and support. It is my belief that we can all make better decisions when armed with the right information. We have choices in everything we do. I feel that when we make decisions from a place of being informed we feel better about the choices we make. My background is in education, counseling and advocacy. My journey to birth work began after the birth of my son and subsequent pregnancy losses. Through these experiences I was able to see the importance and need of birth workers to support families. Pregnancy, child birth and pregnancy loss are sacred times and can also be scary. It is my goal to help ease the fear and focus more the on the sacredness of this time. All women deserve support regardless of their journey; whether that is pregnancy, miscarriage, still birth, abortion, birth and postpartum.

Welcome to Nest and Nurture Doula Services holding space for your journey into parenthood. My name is Patricia, and I believe that birth is not just a physical event—it’s a sacred passage. As a doula and the heart behind Nest and Nurture Doula Services, I walk beside families during one of the most sensitive, powerful, and life-shaping moments: the creation of new life. Every birth is unique, every mother is different, and every family has its own rhythm. My role is to tune in, listen deeply, and support you in the way that you need most. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I tailor my care around your needs—whether that means offering grounding techniques during labor, emotional support for your partner, or simply being a calm, steady presence in the room. My philosophy is simple: when your mind feels safe and supported, your body can do what it was divinely designed to do. My goal is to empower your thoughts so your body can flow with strength, peace, and purpose. At Nest and Nurture Doula Services, we’re not just witnessing a birth—we’re helping nurture the legacy of love, resilience, and belonging you’re creating for your child. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to hold your hand, honor your choices, and walk with you—one breath, one wave, one beautiful moment at a time.

Hi my name is Jessica! I live in Denver on our family farm with my husband and 2 kids. I’ve been passionate about pregnancy and childbirth since I can remember. I originally trained as a birth doula in 2011, gained some experience and then we started our own family. The doula lifestyle wasn’t something that worked for us while my babies were small. I took about 10 years off from birth work (besides doing births for family) until 2023 when I felt called back to birth work, and I re-trained and certified. I deeply enjoy getting to know my clients and assisting with getting them confident and ready for their birth. I hope to provide my clients with everything they need to make informed decisions that are right for them, feeling confident to advocate for themselves and bringing a calming presence into their birth space, whether that’s at home, at the birth center or a hospital.

Hi, I’m Kelsey! Your Full Spectrum Doula. Full spectrum means that I support all birth and perinatal journeys: medicated, unmedicated, in a tub, in a hospital, in a meadow with a flower crown on. Full spectrum also means that I support all parents! Black, brown, white, queer, cis, trans, gay, straight, bi, pan, poly, every person, every family deserves excellent doula care. I believe that birth is better with loving, educated support. Studies show that parents with doulas are happier with their birth outcomes, even when things don’t go 100% as planned. As your doula, I will teach you about birthing positions, comfort measures, pros and cons of medical interventions, and how to prepare your body to give birth. I will help you form a birth plan that is perfect for you and your needs. Your birth, your way. Reach out today for a free consultation!
