Doulas of Jacksonville

01/17/2026

🥳It’s been a WEEK of BIRTHdays over here with 5 babies born since Sunday and there’s a 6th in labor currently! There have been all natural births, planned and non-planned inductions and vaginal births, an unplanned labor to cesarean birth and a planned repeat cesarean birth! Some started with waves, some with sudden water breaking and some with induction mechanisms. Some were fast and some took days (as inductions do).

✨ This right here is why we love what we do—TOGETHER!! Because sometimes babies come when you least expect it and it’s all hands on deck! Sometimes your doula WILL be too tired if it goes long and backup is called in to help you finish your birth out like the BOSS you are mama! And at times, plans need to change because of no fault of your own and we need to pivot (insert Ross screaming “PIVOT!!!!”)— 🛋️

—THIS is why you hire us as an agency! 💃

You can trust that no matter where or when— Doulas of Jacksonville is there to cover your back, and your front, and tell them “oh she said no to that check—she’s going to give birth instead” 🤪

We CAN do this BECAUSE we have a team of professionals in the wings—ready to serve you!

-No extra fees because your solo doulas backup charges more than your doula does
-No wondering if that inexperienced backup doula would truly treat you the same as your doula would
-No lack of doula because the backup she had decided she just didn’t feel like going 👀

🛟 Just a team of women who are educated on what you need to know, and deeply care about how you feel while bringing life into this world. ☎️ Hit the follow to learn more about childbirth!

These are more than open slots on a calendar.
They’re moments where a family will be forever changed.

Our 2026 birth doula support openings are now available for Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, and behind each space is a promise:
You won’t do this alone.

From the quiet anticipation of early labor,
to the intensity of birth,
to the first breath, the first cry, the first time you hold your baby—
we are there to help protect your space, support your choices, and remind you of your strength when it matters most.

Birth deserves time, presence, and deep support.
That’s why we intentionally limit how many families we serve each year—so every mother feels seen, heard, and fully supported. Having your chosen doula by your side every step of the way.

If you’re pregnant and dreaming of a birth that feels:
✨ Calm and supported
✨ Family-centered and respectful
✨ Grounded in trust, not fear

We would be honored to walk this journey with you.

Our 2026 availability is limited, and these spaces fill quickly.

💫 We never expect a gift as your doula—but that doesn’t mean we don’t LOVE feeling appreciated 🥹 It’s notes like this one that keep us going after 14 years of being up all night and on-call—for you.

Thank you for seeing me, among your hazy postpartum days at that!

You’re not just preparing to give birth…
You’re preparing to become a mother.

In a world full of noise, fear-based stories, and rushed appointments, it’s easy to feel like birth is something that happens to you—instead of something you’re an active, powerful part of.

But what if you felt calm instead of scared?
Informed instead of overwhelmed?
Supported instead of alone?

Our childbirth education class is for the moms who want more than “just get through it.”
It’s for couples who want a positive, family-centered birth, where your voice matters, your choices are respected, and your partner knows how to truly support you.

Inside this class, you’ll learn:
✨ How your body was designed for birth
✨ Tools to cope through labor with confidence
✨ How to advocate for your preferences
✨ How to create a birth experience rooted in trust, connection, and support

Because birth isn’t just a medical event.
It’s a life-changing moment your family will carry forever.

You deserve to walk into your birth feeling prepared, supported, and deeply confident.

💛 If you’re ready to learn, connect, and prepare for a birth you can look back on with peace, this class is for you.

Comment BIRTH or send me a DM to join 🤍

Next class:
📍 Thursdays February 12th and 19th, 6-8:30PM

✨ VBAC Mama’s full review ⬇️

“When preparing for the birth of our second son, I knew barring any medical emergencies—that a VBAC was attainable. However, my husband and I also knew how important it was to have someone in our corner who worked for us and our birth goals & wishes, rather than for the medical institution. We wanted someone who could assist with comfort measures and movement during labor, who brought a wealth of birth knowledge to offer recommendations grounded in experience.

I knew that when the big day came, I would need someone to help me get out of my over-thinking brain and into limbic-system labor land. Decreasing adrenaline and increasing oxytocin would be key.

Doula Ashley with Doulas of Jacksonville helped me do exactly that. Ashley used her knowledge of breathing techniques, Hypnobabies, Spinning Babies, and physiology—along with her own faith—to help me stay cool, calm, and collected, centered on God’s plan for the birth of our son.

With her virtual and hands-on guidance, I was able to labor at home as long as possible—arriving at the hospital with what felt like most of the heavy lifting in the rearview mirror. While my initial goal was an unmedicated birth, Ashley provided clear guidance on risks and benefits and helped us discern that an epidural at transition was what my body needed to rest and ultimately actualize the goal of a vaginal delivery

When the non-preferred words “Pitocin” & “vacuum assist” left providers’ mouths and entered our delivery room, Ashley helped me remain calm and confident in declining interventions, trusting my intuition, my body, and the Lord’s provision. I truly feel that without Ashley’s experience, comfort, and support, the course of our journey would have been significantly altered. In the words of my husband, “We are not having another baby without Ashley.” ~Kacey

Thank you for such a sweet review of our lovely doula Ashley and for sharing the details of how exactly, support positively affected your birth experience Kacey! We’re SO happy YOU are happy!

Wake up.

The American College of Nurse-Midwives mourns the devastating death of Dr. Janell Green Smith, CNM, who died from complications of childbirth. Dr. Smith was a respected midwife, scholar, and advocate whose life and work reflected a deep commitment to respectful, evidence-based, and equitable care.

That a Black midwife and maternal health expert died after giving birth in the United States is both heartbreaking and unacceptable. Her death underscores the persistent and well-documented reality that Black women—regardless of education, income, or professional expertise—face disproportionate risks during pregnancy and childbirth due to systemic racism and failures in care.

We grieve Dr. Smith’s loss and recognize it as a profound failure of the systems meant to protect birthing people. In her honor, ACNM commits not only to reaffirming our values, but to intensifying our actions to dismantle racial inequities in maternal health, strengthen accountability in care systems, and work alongside Black midwives, clinicians, and communities to prevent future tragedies.

We extend our deepest condolences to Dr. Smith’s family, loved ones, and the midwifery community. We carry her legacy forward with urgency, humility, and resolve.

2025 looked like…

• Calm guidance during big decisions
• Evidence-based support without pressure
• Hands-on advocacy in birth spaces
• Preparation that fit full calendars and high-level lives
• Support that centered your voice—always

This wasn’t about “doing birth right.”
Or jumping on a “trend”. It was about being informed, supported, and respected.

Unbiased. Strategic. Personal.
That’s what doula support looked like with us in 2025.

✨ Did you know that your baby will need a newborn hearing screening? Well they do!

Many first time parents haven’t thought about their baby’s ability (or lack thereof) to hear, but really how do we know if they can unless we test for it in some way. In-comes the newborn hearing screening.

🎧 This is a small headset (as pictured of an actual hearing test being done) that they send different frequencies to each ear at different times, looking for the baby’s reaction to the tones!

It’s recommended to do it while in the hospital or within the first week or two of life if you birth at home or a birth center. In which case you will need to find a company local to YOU that can provide that service.

Some babies fail the first test and pass a repeated screening a few weeks or a month later. Many ask “why do it so early”…. Because if baby does have some hearing impairment, the sooner you know, the sooner you can seek the assistance your sweet little one will need!
