Briana Smith is an IBFA Certified Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, Breastfeeding Peer Counselor, and an IPPA Certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialist. Her advanced training and certifications include When Survivors Give Birth, Rebozo Use in Labor, Postpartum Belly Binding Professional, Eco-Baby Educator, Systemic Racism & Implicit Bias in Perinatal Health, and Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Advocate.

Briana received her BS in Public Health from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where her passion for maternal and reproductive health sparked. She has experience with couples, single parents, advanced maternal age, VBAC/VBA2C, sexual trauma and assault survivors, high and low risk births, and families who have experienced or are expecting a loss. Briana is passionate about providing evidence based, unbiased education and helping her clients to make their own informed decisions, by arming them with the information they need. She knows that a fulfilling birth experience often leads to a more enjoyable transition into parenthood for all parties.

Briana’s open communication style paired with her empathic, compassionate personality allow her to be the best advocate and support for families before, during, and after birth. Briana currently lives in Eastern Wake County (though she’ll always be a northerner at heart!) She absolutely loves the beach (her dream is to own a boat one day), but also loves snuggling up in a blanket with hot chocolate in a log cabin in the winter time (ah, there’s her New Englander side!) Since COVID19, she has also started a new hobby: soap and wax-melt crafting!

Corrine has been working with families as a midwife, childbirth educator, doula, and breastfeeding support since 1997, attending over 1000 births. Corrine’s greatest delight is witnessing families take ownership of their own choices as parents, growing in confidence, and learning to make fully informed, confident, joyful, powerful choices for their birth, and then for every other choice in parenting and in life. At home, Corrine is a wife and mother, homeschooling, and curating two private libraries, continuously seeking truth, beauty, and goodness.

Anisa supports women through the various phases of life including pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Birth Doula and Placenta Specialist

As a doula, my passion is to positively impact growing families in our community. I accomplish this by providing non judgmental support, and instilling confidence through pregnancy, birth, and life. I am a professional birth and postpartum doula whose primary goal is to overdeliver with compassion, enthusiasm, love, understanding and providing an uplifting fun stress-free environment that allows my clients to really relax and enjoy the moment in the little things that come with pregnancy and birth that I feel a lot of people forget because they’re so stressed about the changes going on with there bodies or the changes going to happen with life once the baby gets here. I provide confidence in labor, birth, postpartum and parenting for every family I serve. I am supportive of all kinds of births! Home births, birthing center births, hospital births, natural births, medicated births, Vbac, c-births – you name it! As long as the birthing person is comfortable in their choices then I’m a happy doula. To me, a positive birth experience can change a whole community; empowering new parents to create happy and healthy new families. While the journey of birth sparked my interest to explore this world, the bond parents create with their babies is my fuel.
