A (belated) happy World Doula Week + (an even more belated) 2025 musings post 💕

🌎 World Doula Week really showed up energetically!
We had 3 babies in a week and these Aries babies were in a *hurry* to come earthside! Our Pisces babies were spicy too!

🌟‘25 we served ~50 families, so many repeat and 3-peat births, long term overnight contracts, tons of Comfort Measures Classes, countless Yoga, and periods of rest + recovery for us both.

🤰🏼So special to celebrate our sweet pea in her pregnancy - the first Doulas of ATL company baby!! (And she freakin’ ROCKED her birth beautifully this March 🥹)

💟 2026 is already proving to be such a rad year and we’re rejuvenated for more growth, community love, and raising up the Matriarchy in any way we can!

We 🤍 you and support you, fellow birth workers!
We cherish you sweet families we get to call our own! ✨

Meet our newest Postpartum Doula, Xuanqin Garrett💜💜

Hello, my name is Xuanqin Garrett, but everyone calls me Xuan!

My approach is rooted in the traditional Chinese practice of zuo yuezi — a postpartum confinement period focused on rest, healing, and nourishment — which I personally experienced and deeply benefited from. I integrate these time-honored methods with contemporary American postpartum care to support families holistically and naturally.

I specialize in supporting families who value natural healing, holistic balance, and compassionate guidance. Whether it’s through herbal meals, gentle massage, breastfeeding support, or simply being a calm presence, I am here to walk alongside you during this sacred time.

Outside of doula work, I find joy in nature and creativity. I love hiking, traveling, roasting coffee beans, cooking wholesome meals, and foraging for wild mushrooms. I believe that food and nature carry a healing energy that nurtures both body and spirit — a philosophy I bring into my postpartum care.

I look forward to meeting you and being part of your beautiful journey into parenthood.

Happy Valentine’s Day from your doulas 😘😘😘
We love you!

As a reminder of where stands on a few things. We have always felt this way and incorporated this long held belief into our work. Birthwork is political, hard stop.
