About Me Hello! I’m Dionna — a Birth Doula serving families in the Charlotte area. My heart is in helping parents feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early days of parenthood. With over 10 years of experience in behavioral health and family support, I bring both compassion and calm to every birth space. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive, honoring the unique journey of each family I serve. I believe birth should be a safe, empowering, and deeply personal experience — and my role is to help you feel confident and cared for every step of the way. I’m here to listen, to guide, and to hold space for your vision of birth — whether that’s at home, in a hospital, or wherever you feel most comfortable. It’s truly my joy to support families as they welcome new life with strength and love.

Fee Details

My birth doula services range from $600–$1,000, depending on the level of support and services selected. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized, and affordable care while ensuring each family feels informed, supported, and empowered throughout their birthing experience. My fee reflects the time and care provided before, during, and shortly after birth, including prenatal preparation, birth preference planning, ongoing communication, on-call availability, continuous labor and birth support, comfort measures, advocacy, and immediate postpartum support. With my professional background in healthcare, behavioral health, and maternal support, I bring a calm, supportive, and person-centered approach to each birth. I believe every family deserves the space to feel heard, respected, and supported during one of life's most meaningful experiences. My $600–$1,000 fee range allows me to offer different levels of support while keeping quality doula care accessible to families.

I had such a wonderful experience with my doula, Dionna. From the beginning, she was very sweet, reassuring, helpful, and truly involved throughout my pregnancy. She always made me feel supported and comfortable, especially during moments when I needed reassurance.

One thing that really stood out to me was how consistent she was. She checked in on me almost everyday day to make sure I was doing okay, and even after giving birth, she still continues to check on me and see how I’m doing. That means so much because it shows that she genuinely cares about the women she supports, even beyond pregnancy and delivery.

I would definitely recommend Dionna to any pregnant woman looking for a doula who is sweet, compassionate, supportive, and caring. She made my experience feel a lot less overwhelming, and I’m truly grateful to have had her there for me.
