We’re so glad that you are seeking professional support for your upcoming birth and that you found your way to Uptown Doula. Throughout your journey, you can count on your doula to equip you and your partner with the knowledge and tools to navigate the intricacies of labor and birth. From breathing techniques to laboring positions, your Uptown Doula will embolden you with the tools that promote a positive birth experience, while reducing the need for intervention.
Your dedicated doula will be with you every step of the way, providing continuous emotional support, physical comfort, and informational guidance. We are honored to witness the incredible strength and resilience within you and will do everything in our power to help you welcome your little one into the world with joy and confidence.
Your doula will provide continuous emotional support throughout the labor process, offering reassurance, encouragement, and a calming presence.
Your doula will provide evidence-based information regarding labor, birth options, and medical interventions, empowering you to make informed decisions.
Your doula is skilled in various techniques to provide comfort during labor such as breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, massage, positional suggestions, and counter-pressure in an effort to manage your pain, while promoting a more comfortable and satisfying experience.
Your doula’s support will be unwavering throughout your entire labor process, regardless of its duration. They will be present from the time you ask them to be until after the birth, ensuring consistent support and encouragement.
Studies have shown that the presence of a doula during labor is associated with a decrease in interventions, such as cesarean sections, epidurals, and the use of forceps or vacuum extractors.
The presence of a doula has been linked to higher satisfaction with the birth experience, and our clients can attest to that! By providing holistic support and personalized care, your doula will help create a positive and empowering birth environment, fostering a sense of accomplishment, confidence, and emotional well-being for you and your partner.
Research suggests that having a doula present during birth can contribute to a lower risk of postpartum depression. The emotional support, reassurance, and guidance you can expect from your doula can positively impact your mental health and well-being during the postpartum period.

Many studies indicate that having a strong and continuous birth team leads to better birth experiences for both the mother or birthing person and the baby. So, in addition to your spouse or partner, family & friends, and your medical team, a labor doula can play a pivotal role in labor and delivery. But what do we do?
Enjoy a more relaxed and positive birth. Our birth and postpartum doulas are experienced in all forms of labor. Our goal is to prepare you with ample evidence-based information so you can confidently advocate for your needs and those of your newborn when the time comes. We'll be there to hold your hand, offer massages, cheer you on and provide continuous physical and emotional support while you safely and fearlessly deliver your baby—your way.
Our team members work in all environments, including Atrium Health and Novant Health hospitals. We have several verified Novant doulas available to assist you if you plan to deliver at Novant Health. As an added bonus, your doula does NOT count as a visitor, so you don’t have to choose between your loved ones and professional birth support.

Daddy Doula Support
"We could not be happier with the care, consideration & expertise Haley and her team provided during pregnancy and birth of our second child. Haley went above and beyond to provide compassionate care for our family. We called Haley at 2 am and she was at our house very quickly to care for our son so my husband could be present for the birth of our 2nd child. She took amazing care of our 3 year old. I am not on social media & was so grateful for the content in her crafted parenting app! My husband enjoyed the partner sessions hosted by Juan Irby too. I cannot recommend Haley enough she truly does it all!"
