Our Philosophy
Our Philosophy
At Graceful Beginnings, we believe the Bible is the basis of all truth and everything we do is filtered through that lens. We believe that birth is a natural, physiological process, your body was created to know exactly what to do in childbirth and that science supports this truth. We believe women have the right to choose how, when, and where they give birth.

Meet the Doula: Hello friends, my name is Renee, and I am a Certified Doula specializing in childbirth support. As a mother of 2 and grandmother of 5, I have had the privilege of providing support during the birth of all my grandchildren, as my daughter labored and delivered naturally in both hospital and home settings. This experience ignited my passion to become a doula. I believe that we are all 'fearfully and wonderfully made' and that our bodies inherently know how to give birth when provided with the right nurturing and space. While childbirth can seem intimidating, particularly for first-time moms, it doesn't have to be, and I am here to help. My goal is to assist each momma in adequately supporting her body during pregnancy, expressing her wants and needs during the birthing process, and offering postpartum assistance to support her in embracing the changes that come with motherhood. I hope to protect the memory of every birth experience

Generation to Generation
Did you know: The origin of your eggs existed within your grandmother’s womb during her pregnancy with your mom? With that in mind, we believe that reduced trauma for momma, means reduced trauma for baby and potentially for generations to come. Our hope, as your doulas, is to be a critical component to that process.

Meet the Doula: Hey y'all! My name is Ashlee Lovell. I'm a follower and lover of Jesus, a wife, and a mother to five children. My desire to provide childbirth support stems from my five blessings that the Lord has given me…(that's my children). 🥰 I have a heart for supporting moms and respecting the way they want to give birth. As a Doula, my goal is to offer support, respect, and dignity, advocate, and hold space during this sacred time for mothers and their families! 🫶 I believe that birth is a normal and physiological process, and that when left alone, it will unfold naturally and safely…just as God intended! 🙌🏼❤️ Every birth will have an impact on your life and your family. I aim to be a tool in a mother's belt to help her reach the experience she wants and believes will be fulfilling and uplifting. Whether it’s through prenatal care or postpartum assistance, you've got this, momma, and you are not alone! 💪❤️
