Mama, you deserve to be held.
..and we are here to do just that.
Choosing the right doula for you is just as important as hiring one at all.
🌿 you are seeking an unmedicated, physiological birth outside of the mainstream healthcare setting
🌿 you are looking for support from someone who really sees you + understands your heart and motivation to lead a holistic lifestyle
🌿 you value nutrition and believe in the power of full body nourishment
🌿 you are willing to put in the work to prepare for your dream birth + postpartum experience
🌿 you aren’t going to sit back and let the world dictate the way you live, eat + care for yourself and your family
🌿 you desire a postpartum period focused on ancient rhythms of rest + nourishment, like our ancestors did it
We might be a good fit for each other if…
“Birth is an opportunity to transcend. To rise above what we are accustomed to, reach deeper inside ourselves than we are familiar with, and to see not only what we are truly made of, but the strength we can access in and through birth.”
– Marcie Macari

Holistic Birth Support
Local to Upstate, SC
Birth is sacred. Birth is transformative. Birth is both life giving and life changing. Birth is, arguably, one of the most impactful events that you will ever experience. When it comes to your birth experience..
You deserve to feel prepared. You deserve to feel comfortable. You deserve to feel empowered.
We invest in our wedding day because the celebration marks a new beginning and sets the tone for the rest of our married lives. Why wouldn’t we do the same for our birth? Mama, this is a call to invest in yourself. The level of care you receive directly impacts your capacity to care for your newly born family. In order to serve our families well, we must first serve ourselves. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Birth is the hardest and most sacred work you will ever do; you deserve to be held and supported through the process.
