You carried them for nine months. Let someone carry you through the rest.
Nola Momma Doula & Birth Services walks beside you — from the first contractions to the first breath, and well beyond. Personalized, trauma-informed support that honors your story, your choices, and your family.
Trusted by hundreds of New Orleans families
"The most supportive presence during the most important moment of our lives."
Born in the Big Easy,
rooted in community.
Nola Momma Doula & Birth Services was founded with a simple belief: every person who gives birth deserves to feel seen, supported, and safe. Based in the heart of Uptown New Orleans, we bring decades of combined experience in labor support, postpartum care, and maternal advocacy right to your doorstep.
We understand that birth is not one-size-fits-all. Whether you're planning a hospital delivery, considering a birth center, or hoping for a home birth, we meet you where you are — without judgment, without agenda. Our approach is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and deeply personalized.
From the moment you reach out, you're not just a client. You're family. That's the Nola Momma way.
Support for every stage
of your journey.
From prenatal preparation through postpartum healing, we provide comprehensive care tailored to your unique needs and preferences.
Labor & Birth Doula
Continuous physical and emotional support throughout labor — from the first sign of contractions to the moment your baby is placed on your chest. We advocate for your birth plan and help you navigate every decision with confidence.
Postpartum Doula
The fourth trimester is sacred — and hard. We provide overnight and daytime support including feeding guidance, newborn care education, household assistance, and emotional check-ins so you can heal at your own pace.
Prenatal Education
Knowledge is power. We offer personalized prenatal sessions covering labor signs, pain management options, hospital routines, and what to expect — so you walk into your birth feeling prepared and empowered.
Home Birth Support
For families choosing the comfort of home, we provide comprehensive birth doula services in your own space — creating a calm, familiar environment that promotes natural labor progression and family bonding.
Birth Plan Coaching
We help you craft a birth plan that reflects your values and preferences — then walk you through how to communicate it effectively with your care team. Your voice matters; we make sure it's heard.
Specialized Support
From VBAC advocacy to support through fertility treatments, pregnancy loss, and NICU transitions — we provide compassionate, non-judgmental care for every path to parenthood.
Every birth is a story.
Yours deserves to be heard.
We don't believe in a single "right" way to give birth. The best birth is the one where you feel supported, informed, and respected — whatever that looks like for you.
Our practice is built on three pillars:
Your Body, Your Choice
We honor your autonomy and help you make decisions that align with your values — not anyone else's expectations.
Trauma-Informed Care
We recognize that past experiences shape present ones. Every interaction is guided by safety, trust, and empowerment.
Community Roots
As New Orleanians ourselves, we understand the unique cultural fabric of this city — and we celebrate it in our practice.
From the families
we've had the honor to serve.
Having Nola Momma by my side during labor was the single best decision I made. She knew exactly when to offer encouragement and when to give me space. I felt safe, heard, and completely supported from start to finish.
After a difficult previous birth, I was terrified of what might happen again. Nola Momma helped me process my fears, build a birth plan that felt right for me, and showed up with such warmth and professionalism. My second birth was nothing short of beautiful.
The postpartum support we received changed everything. She came overnight, helped with feeding, cooked meals, and gave us the space to just be a family. I don't know what we would have done without her. Truly a blessing.
