🌈💬 When Deja had an unplanned C-section with her first baby, Latoya was in that waiting room from start to finish — making sure everything went smoothly, even though she couldn't be in the OR. That's the kind of ride-or-die support we're talking about.

Ready to get matched with a certified doula like Latoya?

Birth support, including prenatal visits, birth attendance, and postpartum care are all all covered by Medicaid.

Request your doula today at:

•••••••••••••••••••••

FULL TESTIMONIAL :
"I cannot express enough gratitude for Latoya, who was truly amazing throughout my first pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period. She provided invaluable support and knowledge to both me and my husband during our prenatal classes, preparing us thoroughly for the journey ahead. I had an unplanned C-section and although Toya was not allowed to be present in the operating room she was in the waiting area from beginning to end, and thanks to her guidance, the process went flawlessly.

Her support didn’t end there; she continued to assist us postpartum and followed up consistently, ensuring we felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Toya dedication and expertise made a world of difference in our experience, and we highly recommend her services to any expecting parents. She is one of one for sure, we love you my girl!!”
