Did you know that your HSA/FSA will cover your doula fees? As long as your doula has an NPI number, you can use those funds to cover some or all of the costs!

I offer payment plans, so if you want to pay some or all using your HSA/FSA, you can easily do that through your client portal!

(Keep in mind, some companies may require a letter from your provider as well)

I can’t wait to support you ❤️

✨Colostrum Collection ✨

Hand expression can be a natural induction tool, plus a great way to try and collect some of that liquid gold before baby arrives. I am 37+5 and just started hand expression based on what felt right to me, and with the approval of my midwives. I am using the Colostrum collectors and getting any drops that come out!

Keep in mind, hand expression is not easy for everyone and can take some practice. I’m on my third baby and am still not great at it. has some great tutorials on her website to teach you how to hand express!

Also, you can see that there are only a couple drops in here. Yet I am usually an overproducer. Colostrum collection does not give you any indication of how your milk supply will be, so if you get nothing THAT IS OKAY! Do not freak out and worry that you won’t have a good supply once baby comes.

🔗 Haaka collectors are on my AmazoN Breastfeeding list in bio!

There are WAY more than just 5 ways a doula can help during pregnancy, but these are my top!

Childbirth education: Throughout pregnancy, you will get an abundance of education on childbirth and the ins and outs. For my clients, you get a handbook filled with information that we go over together. You also have access to me all the time, so if those random questions or thoughts come up, you can just text me!

Emotional support: Pregnancy can be a whirlwind. Whether this is your first pregnancy or pregnancy after loss, as your doula I am here to support you through it all. I’ve also had two (also three) kids of my own so I understand how hormones can overtake you and sometimes you just need a good cry or need someone to give you more realistic answers than Google is.

Preparation: Pregnancy is not usually something you just sit through for ten months and then bam, here’s a baby. There are so many things you can be doing to prepare your body, mind, and overall life for the arrival of your baby and the amazing physical adventure that is childbirth. I will help educate and guide you on how to help your baby be in the best position within your belly (spinning), as well as help prepare you mentally for actually going through childbirth.

36 week bumpdate with baby Raven #3 ❤️

But first, THANK YOU to my amazing client and friend for shooting some family photos of us. I am obsessed with her work and how she seamlessly captured my family and how we are in normal life. (She’s in the CLT area for those of you needing a photographer!!)

How I’m feeling:
😊 READY AS EVER
🤢 Still nauseous but just embracing it at this point knowing I only have a few weeks left.
🤰🏼Have been having lots of Braxton hicks, some uterine contractions, and been losing my mucus plug (yay!). My body is definitely showing me that it’s preparing to bring my little girl here so I am just trying to support it and let it do its job.

What’s up next?
🩺 Routine prenatal this week with GBS testing at my new clinic, (they’ve been amazing so far, I’m so excited to deliver with the midwives there!)
💪🏼 Back to see my favorite .familywellness this week

What am I doing to help my body?
💕 Continuing to practice my hypnobirthing techniques (especially the fear release!)
💪🏼 Stretching, pushing practice, and trying to keep my walking up
💧 Staying hydrated, I’ve added in a packet to my hydration regimen because I’ve been struggling to stay hydrated with all of the moving and traveling.
❤️ Preparing for postpartum!

As always, if you’re pregnant and looking for support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, I’m your girl 😍 Schedule a consult call with me and let’s chat!

Friday night was so much fun seeing some of my friends, clients, and babies. I’m so immensely grateful for the relationships I’ve formed here in Charlotte and all of the families that have chosen me to support them in bringing their sweet babies into the world.

I took a leap and jumped full time into my doula business just a year and a half ago, and since then I have grown so much as a doula, mom, wife, and friend. This job truly is magical and I am blessed to continue to have families trusting in me. So THANK YOU to all my families who will forever be a part of my life. I love you (and your babies).

Births:
2024 - 17 (14 boys, 3 girls)
2025 - 21 (9 girls, 12 boys)

I can’t wait for what 2026 will bring!

31 week bumpdate with baby Raven #3 ❤️

How I’m feeling:
😊 Ready to meet our baby girl!
🤢 Nauseous. My morning sickness came back around week 27. It hasn’t been as bad as the first 17 weeks but still not fun to wake up and immediately need to puke!
💕 Honestly I feel the most confident at this point in my pregnancy as far as physical appearance. Even though I feel whale like, I also have the feeling of “damn look at me, I look amazing”. Which isn’t normal for my insanely self conscious self!
🤰🏼Anxious about getting little girl to stay head down. She’s been breech for a few weeks (which is very normal) but still a bit stressful. I’m doing my daily three sisters from , walking, and doing more things to help me relax.

What’s up next?
🩺 Routine prenatal this week
💪🏼 Seeing my favorite chiropractor .familywellness in two weeks
💆🏼‍♀️ I had an UNBELIEVABLE massage with .massage last weekend and I plan to go back in a couple weeks

What am I doing to help my body?
💕 Currently taking a HypnoBirthing class with to prepare for labor
💪🏼 Pelvic floor exercises and strengthening
💧 Staying hydrated (and enjoying my weekly Diet Coke with zero shame)
🚶🏼‍♀️ Walking more to help baby get in good position and keep my endurance up
❤️ Trying to slow down and enjoy these last few weeks of baby girl being in my belly, and my last few weeks of ever being pregnant.

As always, if you’re pregnant and looking for support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, I’m your girl 😍 Schedule a consult call with me and let’s chat!

The placenta. An amazing, intricate, and beautiful piece of art that is grown by your body specifically for your baby.

Once it is birthed, there is a physical, and often emotional, release by your body as if it knows that the pregnancy is done and your body’s work to grow your baby is complete.

Some don’t realize that they have the option to choose what to do with their placenta after birth. Some of the most popular options are:
💊 Encapsulation
💧 Tincture
🎨 Prints and other artwork
🏥 Donation to the hospital (highly recommend looking into this further before deciding)
🤰🏽Donation to local doulas or organizations for education
🏡 Taking it home and burying it

Did you know that you have options when it comes to your placenta? What did you decide to do with yours? Would you do something different the next time?

Not sure what is the right fit for you or what you want? Schedule a Doula Chat with Ally and I will talk you through every option to help make that decision! Send me a message or comment PLACENTA below for the link to schedule ❤️
