I am due June 3rd and interested in interviewing doula's.
Does anyone have a great doula referral? I am delivering at Northside Hospital.

    Kelly of Bright Birth. Love her! She's an RN, doula and lactation consultant. She also teaches a hypnobirthing class, which I took as well. Her calming nature and wealth of knowledge made her a great partner during my labor and birth. I had my baby girl on July 1 and I don't think I would have had the med free labor and birth that I wanted if I hadn't had her support. Here is my birth story: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/9088303/natural-birth-story
    Her website is www.brightbirth.com.

    You can also take a look at the directory on https://gabirthnetwork.com/ -- a number of certified and certifying doulas are listed there, as well as childbirth educators. I'm a hypno-doula serving southwest Atlanta and teaching Hypnobabies classes.

    Best of luck with your search.

    We used Chanda Williams and loved her.  She is also a photographer and puts together a beautiful birth story for you as part of her fee.

    I have several friends who used Shari Aizenman and had really amazing experiences:

    @lioness13‌ she was able to check you since she's an RN? That is something I would love in a doula so I would know if I'm really progressing or not.

    We are using Breanna Barfield - we felt instantly comfortable with her and are also starting her classes in a few weeks. Definitely check out  https://gabirthnetwork.com/, that's how we found Breanna.
