Nurturing Arrows Doula Support Services

04/11/2026

Prenatal visits aren’t “extra” they’re the work.

You can hire a doula just for the hospital but the real transformation happens before labor ever starts.

This is where we build trust.
This is where you learn your body.
This is where you practice your power.

So when contractions come?
You’re not panicking.
You’re prepared.

That’s the difference. ✨

Movement in labor is a fundamental activity. As a doula, I encourage maternal movement for fetal progress and comfort. Yes, you can STILL move even if you have an epidural! You will need help but it CAN happen!

It’s World Doula Week and I always love when I get the opportunity to support a client as a doula during this week! A world doula week baby for the win!!!

One of my favorite things to do is educate about pregnancy and birth. I’ve been blessed to train doulas since 2012 and educate couples since 2011!

This is a small clip from teaching the students from Bentonville High School. I can’t even express enough how much I LOVE teaching and the joy I experience when the 💡turns on.

In this video I am showing them a support technique for the second stage of labor. This is a great empowering position for a woman to use in labor both with and without an epidural. YES, I have helped women push in this position with an epidural!

Doula care is becoming a focal point in Arkansas as efforts to improve maternal health gain traction.

“Year after year, government data have shown that the maternal mortality rate in the United States remains unacceptably high, with Black and American Indian or Alaska Native pregnant and postpartum people disproportionately experiencing health inequities. The vast majority—roughly 80%—of maternal deaths are considered preventable, and nearly half of maternal deaths occur between seven and 365 days postpartum, not during delivery itself. But all of the resounding data about maternal deaths cannot capture the true scope and scale of those losses: the anguish felt by families who lose loved ones, the trauma endured by those with severe maternal complications, the emotional and financial cost of those recovering from severe maternal morbidity, the communities that are living with increasingly depleted health care resources, and the clinicians whose ethical obligations to their patients are compromised daily.” -ACOG

This is why we need an awareness day! I’ll share stats on maternal healthcare specific to Arkansas soon.

In the meantime, hire her doula for birth and postpartum!!! Lets make sure women THRIVE in 2025!!!

🌟 Every pregnancy and birth is a unique journey filled with growth, discovery, and strength. While we often think that more births make the process easier, sometimes it’s a wild ride—and Katelyn’s experience was just that! 🎢 Little Mister kept us all on our toes, but wow, did his mama show up with resilience and grace. 💪❤️

I’m so incredibly proud of Katelyn and honored to have been part of her birth team once again. 💕 With doulas and doctors working together, we made sure this birth ended safely and beautifully—without surgery! 🏆✨

What a perfect way to close out 2024! 🎉 Thank you, Katelyn, for trusting me to walk alongside you on this journey. Here’s to more empowering births in 2025! 🍼💖

✨ When Raynika walked into my office for a group prenatal consultation, she was immediately swept into a dance party with four other expecting mamas—and she didn’t miss a beat! She jumped right in, laughing and connecting like they’d been lifelong besties. My kind of woman! 💃🏽💞

Raynika was the definition of READY. As a first-time mom, she took every class, read every book, and did her own research to prepare for her dream home birth. During our sessions, I’d share education, and 9 times out of 10, she already knew it. That level of commitment and preparation paid off in the most beautiful way.

Her baby arrived just as she envisioned (well… minus the birth pool—things moved fast). Watching her confidence and strength unfold was pure magic.

🌟 Supporting this family as they brought their dream birth to life was an absolute honor. Thank you, Raynika & Tony, for trusting me to be part of your journey! 💕
