About me

Hi friend, I’m Prisca, the doula behind your birth friend I’m a certified doula, wife, and mama with a big heart for walking alongside women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My care is rooted in connection, the kind that feels genuine, grounding, and personal. I believe doula support should feel less like a service and more like a steady friendship. Someone in your corner who gets it, sees you, and walks with you through it all. I believe every woman deserves: gentle, personalized support evidence-based guidance and someone who truly sees her I also believe that knowledge is power. When women understand their options, their bodies, and the birth process, they’re able to step into this journey feeling confident, informed, and deeply supported. I’m passionate about helping women feel equipped and empowered every step of the way. Birth isn’t just physical, it’s emotional, spiritual, and sacred. That’s why my support goes beyond timelines and checklists. I show up with heart, with presence, and with care that’s built on trust, friendship, and faith. My faith is the foundation of how I serve. It’s what grounds me, guides me, and helps me hold space with love and grace in every space I enter. Whether we’re chatting over tea during pregnancy, breathing through contractions together, or unpacking the beautiful, messy layers of postpartum, I’ll be right there with you as your steady, grounded support. I serve families in Charlotte, NC, and the surrounding areas, and it would be an honor to walk with you through your journey. Got questions? Want to connect? Or want to say hi? I’d love to hear from you! I’ve poured a lot of heart into my website, and I would be delighted if you stopped by. I’d love to connect with you there.

Working with Prisca was the best decision we made for our birth. From the very first meeting, she made us feel heard and supported. She provided so much helpful information, helped us feel prepared, and was a calming, reassuring presence throughout labor. Her warmth, knowledge, and encouragement made all the difference. We can’t recommend her enough!

More than a doula, she became part of our family. Prisca walked with us through every stage, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She brought snacks. She held my hand. She reminded me to breathe when I was sure I couldn’t do it anymore. And after our baby was born, she checked in, helped with nursing, and even reminded me to take care of myself. She’s truly your birth friend, and we’re so thankful for her.

Best decision we made during our pregnancy. Hiring Prisca was hands down the best investment we made during our pregnancy. She was such a calming presence and made sure we felt informed and prepared. Even when our birth didn’t go exactly as planned, Prisca helped us feel confident and in control. We’ll never forget how she showed up for our family with love, grace, and real wisdom.

Every mama needs a Prisca. I was nervous about giving birth, especially as a first-time mom. But from our first meeting, Prisca made me feel at peace. She didn’t just show up on birth day, she checked on me constantly, answered all my random texts, and prayed for me when I needed it most. Her presence in the delivery room was grounding. She reminded me of my strength when I forgot. She’s truly a gift.

I truly don’t know how I would’ve made it through my birth without Prisca. From the very beginning, she was calm, reassuring, and so knowledgeable. She explained everything in a way that made me feel empowered, not overwhelmed. My husband and I both felt so supported, like we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared. I can’t recommend her enough!
