My name is Britni Louise and I'm an abolitionist organizer and labor doula based in Atlanta, GA. I enter this work as a Black queer woman, a musician, an educator, and a survivor with a wealth of knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth. My transition into birth work represents a journey to heed my life-long calling, support and empower Black birthing people, and honor the 120+ year legacy of birth work in my family. I come from a long line of nurses, doulas, and midwives spanning from Buffalo, NY to New Orleans, LA, and I consider it a privilege to be able to build upon the tradition of supporting Black women and femmes through their journeys to bring forth new life.

HUMBLYHOLISTICS@GMAIL.COM

Shannon is a doula servicing the cities and surrounding areas of Savannah & Albany Georgia. She supports women and their families during the fertility period, during pregnancy, after birth and into new motherhood. She offers a holistic approach to wellness, addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of women.

Shannon’s goal is simple; to support women, provide a sense of safety for an increased sense of confidence and the best birthing experience possible. She loves being a key source of birthing teams, helping to educate, giving emotional support, preserving memories, and holding space for women at the most vulnerable and powerful time in their lives. Being from a small city called Albany Ga, access to resources such as women’s reproductive & health advocacy in the community were limited. Once she started exploring more of the world, she instantly gained a passion in wanting more when it came to her own health and healing. Fast forward years later, in addition to being a doula, she is now a womb wellness educator & holistic nutrition coach & yoni steam practitioner

Her passion for holistic healing was the catalyst in her decision to have a natural birth with a doula, breastfeed her son and make a commitment to help others wishing to do the same. She loves meeting other women where they are on their wellness journeys and teaching them how to prepare their body to conceive, sustain a healthy pregnancy, and recover during the postpartum period.

You can usually find Shannon enjoying nature with her husband and courageous toddler, cooking, assisting women within her community, creating herbal products, or planning community events.

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, childbirth and pregnancy loss are sacred times and can also be scary. It is my goal to help ease the fear and focus more on the sacredness of this time. Birthing women deserve and need support during all stages of birth they are in, whether that is pregnancy, miscarriage, still birth, abortion, birth and postpartum.
Though my three tiered approach, I hope to cultivate a calm and empowering experience where families can achieve confidence in their choices during pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. As a holistic birth worker I look at the whole being as I work with you. I work with each family to create a plan that helps them achieve the experience they desire. I honor birth as a sacred and transformative time for all involved. Giving birth is not just about birthing a baby but also about birthing a mother. I empower each family to make informed decisions and experience the magic and the miracle of birth. Using formal education, personal experience, intuitive guidance and traditional time honored birthing techniques, I help ease the transition into parenthood. Supporting families to find their strength during pregnancy and birth and beyond. I am here to help you have your birth, your way.
