Becky Hale, Owner
Birth doula, postpartum doula, childbirth educator (Birth doula team member)
Labor, birth and parenthood are incredibly awesome, wild and wonderful journeys, and I love helping my clients along that journey! I’m a caretaker by nature, and comforting and supporting my clients comes naturally. I love every bit of helping people and their partners through the experience of birth, whether that occurs in a birth pool or the operating room.
I trained as a birth doula in 2007 with DONA International. I’ve also trained with other organizations (I’m a lover of workshops and continuing education). I was a professional Mary Poppins for nearly 15 years, nannying for many families in the Greensboro and Winston-Salem areas of NC, taking care of children from newborn through the teen years. I’ve nannied and been and a postpartum doula for several families with twins, and love helping with multiples! My many years of nanny care gives me a unique insight into that beautiful, sweet but exhausting postpartum period and I enjoy helping my clients thrive and feel confident as new parents. I’ve seen first-hand the difference having doula makes, and I feel strongly that every type of birth and every type of family benefits from doula care. My biggest wishes for our clients are that they feel informed and prepared, make all their own decisions, and feel fully supported during their birth.
I’ve been a doula for over 14 years, and have experience with many different types of families and births, including water birth, medicated births, inductions, twins, natural births, VBAC and planned cesareans births. I’ve been a professional Mary Poppins to many families throughout Greensboro and Winston-Salem, and have had the pleasure of serving local families during the postpartum period. I’m a long time member of our local doula organization, PADA, and am also a member DONA International.

Brenna Huffman
Postpartum doula
Hello! My name is Brenna Huffman. I am fully trained as a postpartum doula and in CPR/ First aid. I have always loved babies from playing with dolls when I was a child to volunteering in the hospital NICU with premature and sick babies. When I discovered postpartum doula work, I was instantly attracted to the job and have pursued this career ever since. I have my associates degree from DCCC and a few months after I graduated I took my doula training course. I love volunteering in my church nursery, reading and attending car shows with my mom.
