I’m Shonna, owner of Growing and Graced, and I offer prenatal and postpartum support to families in the Hampton Roads area virtually by request. I specialize in Natural Births at home as well as in Hospitals. My passion for educating families on prenatal wellness, family planning, labor and delivery support, and postpartum healing stems from a seed God planted in me that he has watered and matured this seed. The result is Growing and Graced, and I am so grateful. I want to return our birth journey to the way the Father intended. Birth is a process of growth, surrender, and preparation, and with the proper support, you can have the successful pregnancy, labor, and birth you desire! Thank you for stopping by, and I would love to join your family as you embark on your season of transition!
I cannot say enough good things about Shonna!! This was my first experience with a doula and I highly recommend it for anyone having a child. From the first interaction during my second trimester, until our last interaction post delivery - she has been nothing short of amazing. Shonna was always calm, supportive, reassuring, and ALWAYS saw the positive side of things. She is an expert in this profession and has made my first time with a doula an unforgettable experience. If I decide to have another one, she will be my first choice. Thank you so much Shonna for everything you did to help with the arrival of our baby!!

We used Lacey for a few weeks after we had our baby. My wife was exhausted from giving birth and she just needed as much rest as possible at night. Lacey came in for 6 weeks 5 nights a week and took care of our sweet baby girl while we slept. She would change her, pass her to my wife to nurse when baby was hungry and would take her back and get her burped and back to sleep. She was amazing and never woke us up for anything. She even washed babies clothes and restocked supplies for the next day. We couldn’t have gotten through those first few weeks without Lacey . I highly recommend her for night nanny services. We will have her again if we have another. Thank you so much Lacey!

I believe pregnancy & birth are a woman's Right To Passage. Birth s a scared time for mom, dad, and baby. and We will discuss your goals, for your pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and you as a new mother. My job is to support you through this transition into motherhood
I just gave birth to my 1st child in December of 2021, and being nervous about my 1st birth experience I opted to hire Zina as my doula. I am so so glad I did! Pregnancy/birth is such in intense personal experience, but from the start of our zoom calls, I felt comfortable with Zina right away. Via these initial zoom calls Zina helped ease my anxiety pre birth with multiple check ins. I really valued her extensive knowledge and experience with both hospital and home births. She was such an amazing coach throughout the birth. I had to be medically induced so my constractions were fierce. Zina helped coach me through some intense construction pain AND pushing pain and was a calming presence throughout. Post birth Zina has checked in a few times and offered great suggestions on tea to help with breastfeeding, messages that helped reduce swelling in my feet, etc. It's nice to have that touch point and to feel taken care of! She helped make my whole 1st birth experience a positive one.

Hello! I am Devan, I am a birth doula who has completed the DONA birth doula training! I have two wonderful children I love so much and a huge soft spot for all things Harry Potter! I am a military spouse and currently serve the Hampton Roads area in Virginia. My goal as your birth doula is too help you achieve the birth you are hoping for! I am here to support your growing family and to help you welcome your little one into the world!
Words cannot express how thankful I am for Devan. She offered so much care & support during labor. I fear if it wasn’t for her I don’t know how I could have birthed naturally. Her touch is heaven sent. She gave me continuous support & comfort pregnant, during birth & postpartum. Labor is painful but if that means having a moment with Devan again. I’ll be right back there doing it all again. 10/10

Hi a Postpartum Doula and have been serving families in Hampton Roads since 2016. I am a homeschooling mama of 4. I found that I loved support mothers postpartum.
Tina was incredibly helpful during my postpartum recovery. I feel as though she was there for me just as much as she was there to help me care for my new baby. I look back on that time and think that all of her help really gave me great tools for success as I became a mom for the first time! My parents had hired Tina to be my postpartum Doula, since they are not physically able to help. After nearly dying on the table during my C-section, there was a lot to process. She was such a great resource and support throughout this time! I will never forget all that she did to help me get going! I still keep in touch with her today almost 6 years later! I Highly recommend Tina to anyone looking for a top notch doula!

This was the best birth experience I’ve ever had. Mylah made sure my family and I were prepared with all the tools we needed leading up to birth. She gave me comfort measures that helped me labor at home and have a quick and easy birth. I would have a million more babies just to have Mylah as my doula. I am beyond grateful for her and her knowledge. Even after birth she is still here with her full support ready to show up for anything I need as we transition from 1 to 2 kids. Blessed to call her family now and cannot thank her enough. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I have been working in the perinatal support field since July 2020 as a breastfeeding peer counselor and then as a birth doula. My own experiences with birth and breastfeeding led me to birth work—I was inspired to support others the way I had been supported. Birth and parenthood has a way of helping us discover strengths we didn't know we had. It is the greatest honor of my life to help my clients find their own strength along their unique journey into parenthood.

Wanda is amazing! I had my daughter in my late 30 thirties and experience many complications. I don't know how I would have made it without Wanda. The care she took in explaining things to, helping me reduce my stress, helping me to prepare for my daughters birth was a blessing. She continued this care well after I had my daughter. Wanda provided, additional breast feeding support and guidance. With Wanda you are with family. She cares about you and takes every steps necessary to endure a successful birth and mom after. What an amazing soul!!

Hi there! I'm Rebekah Niesen, and I became a Certified Birth Doula after having 4 kids. I firmly believe that labor support, both emotional and physical, has an incredibly positive effect on labor outcomes, health of mother and baby, even bonding of your new family. My background includes the various fields of a degree in Microbiology and my first job which was to mentor college students, uniting my interests of research with communication and coaching. I have applied this to being a birth doula, educating the family in evidence-based best practice to cultivate advocacy empowerment and how it pertains to each individual situation. When I am not serving others, you can find me walking the dog, reading a good book, accompanying my average singing with my average guitar playing, or playing board games with my husband and kids. I take Tricare insurance and can work with you if your insurance covers family services.

Hello everyone, my name is Marissa Howard and I am a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula located in Hampton Roads, VA. I strongly believe that the birthing experience should be an empowering and peaceful. I encourage clients to feel they have autonomy over their decisions during the birthing process. I provide evidence based information to support and educate my clients in prenatal and postpartum stage. I also promote advocacy skills so my clients can feel secure in their decisions throughout the process of pregnancy/birth/postpartum. In my free time, my husband and I keep busy with our 3 beautiful children.
We are so grateful for Marissa! I knew from the moment we met she was the doula for our family. Her calm presence and joyful spirit was just what we needed for our pregnancy journey. Our meetings were informative and fun, and we felt so prepared going into labor. Marissa was extremely supportive through the whole process- always checking in to see how we were doing. She was a rockstar through delivery and stayed with us through the night until our daughter was born. I felt confident between her and my husband that I would be taken care of when I was unable to adequately make decisions during labor. On top of that, our two postpartum visits were helpful and honestly just comforting! At the end of our time together, we were sad to say goodbye because Marissa is forever a part of our family!

I am dedicated to helping you achieve the empowering transition into motherhood that you deserve! I specialize in supporting unmedicated hospital births and homebirths.
Amanda is such a huge blessing! She is very knowledgable and a comforting, supportive presence during such a vulnerable time. My husband and I were not originally going to hire a doula, but at the last minute (8 months pregnant) we decided we would want the extra support for our home birth as we are both first-time parents. We found Amanda through Facebook recommendations, and she was able to meet with us quickly, answer all of our questions (even bring up points we hadn't thought of yet), and provide us with the resources and knowledge to have a successful home birth. She does offer some prenatal education classes and while we were not able to attend the first session due to how late we found each other, the second session was so worth it - especially the exercises for pain management! The day of labor she was quick to respond to us and even coordinated with our midwife so that I could focus on my labor and my husband could focus on me. She provided excellent guidance and support to my husband so that he was the one comforting and helping me during labor and she was able to step in when needed. She even took care of our dog! We truly could not have asked for a better experience or a better doula than Amanda, and we have both said that we would absolutely work with her again if we are still in the area!

“I wish I knew about Bornbir sooner, as it's so important to surround yourself with experts who understand during those overwhelming moments and share evidence-based information.”
“I found my birth doula on Bornbir. After submitting my needs, I was able to connect with several awesome doulas that are within a local distance from me.”
“Bornbir is a powerful network. It makes connecting with maternal providers so much easier. It means supporting one another through this parenthood journey, no matter what stage you are in.”
