I can’t say enough good things about Doulas of Jacksonville, especially Sarah. She supported us through the birth of our first baby in February 2026, and having her there made such a difference. From the start, she was always available for questions and helped us think through everything—from birth plans to all the “what ifs.” I had hoped for an unmedicated birth, but due to some health concerns, we ended up scheduling an induction at 40 weeks. Sarah really helped me shift my mindset, prepare for different outcomes, and feel confident even when last-minute changes came up. When labor came, it was fast and intense, and she was incredible. She guided my husband with counter-pressure and they worked together to help me through contractions, which made things so much more manageable. Even after we got home, she continued to check in, answer questions, and support us as we adjusted to being new parents. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely work with her again. I’d recommend Doulas of Jacksonville to anyone expecting—it truly made our experience so much better.

Three long days Jessica spent with us in the hospital. 3 days of encouragement, support, nourishment, care, advice and advocating in hopes we had the birth we envisioned. This is my second baby and second doula. She truly exceeded all expectations we had and I'm forever grateful we had her by our side. Additionally, the pictures she delivered of us welcoming our daughter into the world will be cherished forever. We are forever grateful for her!

Katharine is the absolute greatest doula (and person!!) that you could ever work with. I have been so lucky to have her by my side for both of my pregnancies and births (I literally could not give birth without her - I flew her to LA from FL just because I knew there was no one else I could do it with!). Katharine is kind, compassionate, strong, and everything else you could need in a doula. She is incredibly smart, up to date on all of the latest evidence based practices, and open to anything. She provides equal amounts of comfort and strength and easily moves between the two. I could not recommend Katharine enough. I would honestly keep having children just so I could keep her in my life!! (she's also the coolest person I have ever met, in the most unassuming way). Whatever you think having a doula means, Katharine is it (along with 100 other amazing things you could have never even thought about). Having Katharine as part of your birth team and life is the greatest decision you can make.

I absolutely loved and enjoyed my experience with Agape Doulas! Randina was our birth doula who also brought in helpful insights on breastfeeding after birth, to help us start a successful breastfeeding journey. It was truly an incredible experience to have an unmedicated natural birth I’ve dreamed. I will be definitely using their services again our next pregnancies and will be recommending them.

Naomi was amazing!! I received many resources for my pregnancy and birth. We decided to reach out to a doula towards the end of my pregnancy, so I was a bit worried how it would all turn out. I also wanted to be sure our doula was Christian because pregnancy/labor/birth is so spiritual. Naomi was our first pick and she was so wonderful. During labor she had great suggestions and showed my husband how to make be more comfortable during labor and delivery. She was also great with the staff at the hospital, if tests needed to be ran, she made sure I didn't have adjust my labor positioning too much. I truly believe she saved me from a C-section. She was more helpful than my doctor while I was pushing. We were so blessed to experience our first birth with such a wonderful doula. We will definitely hire her again for our next babies!

Naomi was an answer to my prayers! She is reliable, attentive, encouraging, and passionate about what she does. She is also a woman of great faith! She went above and beyond to meet my needs and make me feel as comfortable as possible through the entire process (prenatal, labor and delivery, and postnatal). I have no regrets with choosing her as my doula.

We couldn’t have done pregnancy and birth without both Naomi and Faith by our side. From all the prenatal visits in helping us navigate the medical system and believing and declaring along side us peace and God being bigger than any doctor; we got the labor and delivery I could only dream of. From the moment they arrived at our home in the early hours of the morning everything changed and labor become easier and smoother. I was able to have a delivery of my dreams unmedicated because of their ability to keep me moving, hydrated and providing counter pressure (that was a dream and helped me find rest and sleep between contractions). I truly don’t believe I could have done it without their support. They listened to my discouraged moments and supported me through them all. It was truly perfect and just an overall blessing. Not only labor and delivery but from prenatal visits to postpartum where they checked in on baby and I once we were home to ensure we were settling well. And I especially appreciated the time to process the pregnancy and birth to reflect on what we would like differently in the future if we have another child. And Naomi’s word from God about our delivery was very special too. This whole experience from pregnancy, birth to postpartum has only been supernatural and such a spiritual experience for us. We highly recommend Agape Doulas and anyone who uses their services will also be blessed by these women and the gifts they have been given to be along side women and families as they bring their child into the world. We will 100% use their services in the future and encourage everyone to tap into this amazing business, but ultimately ministry. Thank you for being along side us these last 9months. We are so blessed and can’t say thank you enough for following the calling God has placed on your lives and using the gifts He has given you with and for Kingdom Purpose.

My wife and I feel so blessed to have experienced the labor and birth of our son, Henry, with our doulas Naomi and Faith. We couldn’t have asked for a more professional, kind, calm, strong, skilled, and helpful team of doulas. Both are very knowledgeable and have a lot of experience. We are so thankful to Naomi and Faith for helping us and for answering lots of questions we had with doctor appointments, pregnancy process, hospital procedures and so many other topics about pregnancy. They were there for us every time we needed them. I learned so much during the calls and visits we had with them. Both were constantly supportive and proficient providing in emotional and physical support during the 24 hours labor process my wife had. I strongly recommend Agape Doulas LLC to everyone. My wife and I had such a great experience that we will hire them again in the future if we have another baby.

My husband and I had the opportunity to have Randina’s support as our doula for the birth of our son and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! As a first time mom, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted out of my birth experience and I knew having a doula’s knowledge and support would give me the highest likelihood of success. Naomi made us feel at ease from our first conversation and based on what we were looking for, she connected us with Randina. From our first meeting at our home, Randina felt like a part of our family. She gave me the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional tools to set myself (and my husband) up for success, and asked the right questions to uncover aspects of my labor and delivery experience I hadn’t even thought about. She was always open to answering questions between our meetings as well. Once I was in labor, Randina was a quick text or call away, and when things started getting more intense she was physically by our side. She provided counter pressure, advice, and prayers through the whole experience. She made me feel empowered to keep pushing towards the experience I wanted, while also being open to adjustments of our plan if I needed that. When I look back at my labor and delivery experience, it was exactly what I was hoping and planning for and I 100% know I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Randina. Randina also supported me from a lactation/breastfeeding perspective. From setting me up with the proper flange side for pumping and helping me get comfortable with different holds prior to my son arriving, to identifying his tongue tie and ensuring his latch is effective once he was here, I felt so much more confident because of her. I’m over two months into my breastfeeding journey and again, I don’t think I would have had any success without Randina. It was such a relief to find a doula who matches our family’s values and was there to support our goals and plan even if it had to change. I 100% recommend working with Agape and Randina for your birth!

Naomi, is amazing! I am so glad we had her for my birth, delivery, and postpartum! She was so helpful and supportive through the whole process. Faith was also amazing! I am very thankful to have had both of them be part of my labor and delivery ❤️ I cannot thank them enough. Naomi calmed me down and explained a lot of things to be about pregnancy and babies that i did not know, being a first time mom. I had the confidence to do a vaginal birth because of them two and I cannot tell you how empowering it is to have done it! Thank you both for being there every step of the way

Ms Naomi is such a great person, she helped me with two pregnancies. Very knowledgeable, and shows a lot of care in her work. It’s more of a connection and that’s exactly what I needed. Someone to be there to help me and guide me through my pregnancies if I had another child she would definitely be the first one I’d call to be my doula 😭💗. Even when I couldn’t find help at 32 weeks she still took me in and helped me. Thank you again and for what you do, it’s a blessing .
- Emani Scott
Naomi is a huge blessing! She provided so much support and both physical advice as well as prayer/spiritual/mental preparation for labor. She was always available for my millions of questions and I can't imagine my birth experience without her. I ended up developing an infection and fever the first night in labor which eventually led to emergency C-section and Naomi stayed with my husband and I the entire time, praying over us and providing me support and comfort when I was scared and terrified. The way she helped me communicate with the medical staff was so reassuring, and she helped keep me calm by staying with me post surgery while my husband went with our baby to the NICU. I am so thankful God put Naomi in our lives during our pregnancy and birth, I would highly recommend her services!
- Jessica Grant
Ms.Naomi guided me and helped me the whole way . Very supportive , professional all in one. I highly recommend people to come to her !
- Chrishara leggett
Naomi taught a "Maidens by His Design" workshop that I signed my daughter up for. She did an AMAZING job and the atmosphere made the discussion very comfortable and informative for what can sometimes be an awkward conversation, helping my daughter learn that her cycle is a blessing rather than a curse. I would absolutely recommend this workshop and Naomi!
- Olivia Kurr
Naomi is such a sweetheart. She is very knowledgeable and encouraging. She goes out of her way to provide support beyond the delivery room. If you are looking for someone at the corner of faith and medicine to offer hands on support, prayer, and a unique perspective, she’s your gal!
- Diana Pawloski
Naomi has been a blessing for my childbirth journey. She is a prayerful doula that you can find comfort in. She has helped me during the prenatal phase helping me with techniques to position my baby optimally for birth and she helped after with bringing a meal for my husband and I right after labor so we could spend time with our newborn. She even helped me tidy up the house post partum. With no family in Jacksonville, she was a blessing at the right time for my family. I definitely recommend her as a doula.

Never imagined how valuable her service could be! Highly recommend 👌
