Hello, and welcome to Birthing Nations LLC! My name is Chantell Hill, and I am honored to be your trusted companion on your journey through pregnancy and bey...
Chantell is an incredible doula. She not only supported me through labor, but also comforted my family during an unexpected emergency c-section. Her presence and care were a tremendous support to all of us. I would strongly recommend her to anyone considering a doula—having one makes such a difference, and Chantell is truly exceptional.
Chantell served as my doula for the birth of my first child in March 2025. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with her doula support and how she helped us navigate our labor and preparation for it, even when we experienced unplanned birth complications at the hospital. Throughout our very long labor, she was extremely supportive, patient, knowledgeable, and kept our decisions and preferences at the forefront. I highly recommend Chantell to serve as your birth doula!

We put off finding a doula until well into our third trimester, and we were nervous we wouldn't be able to find someone we connected with. We feel so lucky that Chantell was available! After our first virtual meeting, we felt her calm energy and knew she would be a great addition to our birth team!
We wanted a doula that would support us while giving us the space to have our own birthing experience, and that is exactly what Chantell did. When we got to the hospital, we were initially feeling overwhelmed, but Chantell immediately brought a positive energy that made us feel capable of handling everything.
She was physically and mentally supportive during a long day of labor and helped my partner find ways to best help me as well. She seemed to know when we needed space or needed more hands-on care, and she helped us adapt to change along the way with zero judgement.
We really enjoyed our two prenatal meetings, which we found so helpful in preparing for labor, and her support postpartum was so appreciated. Overall, we feel like our labor experience was calm and joyful, and we know Chantell played a huge part in making that happen!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Chantell. She was kind, compassionate and completely focused on helping me have a positive experience throughtout my birth. Every woman remembers their birth and labor and you want your birth to be the best experience that you can have and Chantell can help you have that.
She made sure to work with me before hand to review things that would help me during my labor and focused on those interventions. For me we working on positioning, breathing and mantras. During my birth she didn't interfere with my hospital care team, but was my advocate and a constant source of encouragement. She took photos of the birth and also provided follow up care and support after the birth.
I chose to have a doula near my 37th week surrouding some birth anxiety. I have a supportive partner but wanted someone that could focus on helping me mitigate my anxiety and discomfort surrounding birth. I chose to have an in hospital birth and in interviewing with other doulas they were not supportive that I didn't just choose a birth center. Chantell's philosophy is that YOUR own opinions about your care and treatment are what matters.
My birth plan was to go into spontaenous labor (I was inducted due to a medical condition) and not to use pain medications (Inducation was very painful for me and I then chose to use an epidural/other pain management). Chantell helped me change positions every 30 minutes in order to progress my labor safely after the epidural and was focused on the outcome instead of dwelling on a birth plan that didn't come to fruition. We all make our birth plan but what actually happends during our labor can be another outcome. She was right at the head of the bed encouraging me during my short pushing and I had as great of an experience that I could *quickly* delivering my beautiful baby girl.
Overall, if you are looking for a great doula, go with Chantell.
Chantell has been a sanity saver for us over the past few months! I realized early on in my breastfeeding journey that exclusively pumping would be necessary for our little guy. With my husband back at work and a notoriously short napper, I was overwhelmed trying to figure out how I would find time to do all of the pumping, bottle feeding, and washing of parts that would be required. Chantell came into our lives and quickly adapted to all of our routines. She's provided excellent and nurturing baby care as well as helped with household chores and the constant flow of dishes. I've not only had time to pump, but I've also been able to shower, nap, and take care of my post-partum self. Perhaps the hardest part of finding a doula for us was putting our trust in someone else to take care of our most precious little person, but throughout our time with Chantell, we have been able to trust that our little guy is in great hands. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a post-partum doula!
I knew Chantell cared and that I trusted her even before she started working with us. We are new parents and just like most first timers, we didn't know what our needs would be. Chantell was gracious with her time and gave us all the flexibility that we needed. She integrated with our family from day one and provided us support, resources, wisdom and the friendship that we needed. Chantell also helped me navigate post parturm anxiety. I felt at home around her all the time.
Investing in postpartum care and working with Chantell was the best descion that I took. I would highly recommend working with Chantell !
Chantell is everything I didn't know I needed. She was my postpartum doula for about 4 months. She would walk in the door and immediately ask me, Where do you want me to begin? Chantel tackled all the household tasks and at every step, I was assured they were done to my liking.
I struggled with anxiety and depression. I never felt judged by her. Chantel spirit is pure and genuine. Most days, it was nice to have someone listen amongst all the other stressors of having a newborn. She was so patient with the baby, who took time to warm up to her. But my toddler loved Chantel and she would help by playing with him while I did other things or while I simply rested.
I would not think twice about hiring her back when in need.
Chantell is a trauma-informed Doula who goes above and beyond to care for her clients. She has not only had a profoundly amazing impact on me but also on my partner and child. I 100% recommend her to any potentially new clients in search of a doula who will take the time to humanize and support you in your laboring process and with your postpartum care.
I'm exceedingly grateful that Chantell has chosen to make this her profession. She is a natural birth worker and caregiver. Even in our first video meeting over Zoom, I felt an immediate connection and knew I wanted to work with a pro like her. As a first-time mom, I knew next to nothing about the L&D process and had a ton of questions, which she was able to answer, often providing additional information I didn't know that I needed.
Prior to the birth, Chantell worked with both me and my partner, teaching us a variety of breathing techniques, positions and affirmations. I also went over my birth plan with her in detail and she was more than willing to work with me on every aspect, offering suggestions when needed.
We truly valued her calm presence and professional experience during the delivery. There were very few things that went according to plan and Chantell was able to adapt flawlessly. Her arrival at the hospital immediately gave me a sense of control over the situation and that I could get through it all, regardless of all of the challenges. She was great at supporting both me and my partner with constant affirmations and reassurance. Her calm voice in my ear often helped me find the confidence I needed to get through the toughest parts of labor.
Being able to talk about the experience and process that took place was so helpful postpartum. And Chantell watching the baby so that I could run a few errands was a huge help! If we choose to have another baby, we'll definitely contact Chantell again. I highly recommend her services!
I recently had the privilege of working with Chantell, of Birthing Nations. She is an incredible postpartum doula and I cannot recommend her services enough. From the moment I reached out, she provided support, and care that honored me. She greatly contributed to my postpartum recovery and overall well-being.
Chantell approached every interaction with warmth, understanding, and genuine care. She actively listened to my concerns and validated my emotions, creating a safe space. Her support extended beyond the physical aspects of postpartum recovery, encompassing mental and emotional well-being.
Another aspect that stood out was her ability to tailor her support according to my unique needs and preferences. She recognized that every postpartum journey is different and adapted her services accordingly. Her flexibility was very helpful in the midst of the postpartum whirlwind.
Overall, my experience with this postpartum doula was exceptional, and I am incredibly grateful for the impact she had on my postpartum recovery. Her knowledge, compassion, flexibility, and unwavering support made a significant difference during a vulnerable time in my life. If you're seeking postpartum doula services, I wholeheartedly recommend her.
A Godsend During Our First Months with Baby
From our very first encounter with Chantell on day two of Teo's life, we knew we were in the best of hands. Her aura of warmth, confidence, and knowledge immediately put my wife and I at ease. Day 2, we were already in that overwhelming panic every new parent likely goes through.
Chantell's dedication to her craft is evident. Not once did she waver in her professionalism—she was always punctual, never rushed, and her communication skills were second to none. She didn't just "work" for us; she educated and coached us, imparting us with the knowledge and techniques to feed, hold, and comfort our baby with confidence.
Witnessing her interaction with Teo, it's evident that she's a natural. The ease with which she managed every task was admirable, and the transformation in Teo was evident. He ate, slept, and even burped better with her gentle touch and guidance. Her care for Teo went beyond duty; she showed genuine concern for his wellbeing and development, even when she wasn't on the clock.
But what truly sets Chantell apart is her emotional intelligence. Starting as a new parent can be an emotional rollercoaster. We recall our first day with her, tears in our eyes, drowning in stress. Yet Chantell was our rock, supporting us not just in the care of our son but also emotionally, until we felt equipped and confident enough to manage on our own.
Today, Teo is thriving—eating and sleeping well—and his neck condition has drastically improved to the point where he no longer requires physical therapy. To sum it up, our start to parenthood would have looked drastically different without Chantell's invaluable support during the formative months of Teo's life. She is an absolute asset to any family fortunate enough to secure her postpartum care, and we can't recommend her enough!
Chantell Hill is wonderful. We had the pleasure of working with her in 2023 from when our twins were newborns until they were about six months old. I genuinely do not know how we would have coped without Chantell's expertise, generosity, kindness of spirit, and overall presence. She helped us during both days and nights over the course of those months and put my mind at ease when I was quite literally delirious with sleep deprivation during recovery. Chantell worked cooperatively with family members and other support as needed. Her approach struck an excellent balance of offering up her own knowledge and experience while also working with our preferences. I will be a better caregiver for having been able to learn from Chantell's example. We thank you!
I loved having Chantell as our doula. She was incredibly patient and kind during my postpartum care. I miss having her around! Chantell is incredible!
Chantell is amazing! We used her overnight doula services for the first 8 weeks with our newborn. Chantell has a great energy and is a wealth of knowledge, and is so calming in the hectic world of a new baby. On the first night, I was so nervous about letting someone else take care of my baby, and Chantell sat with me and answered all my questions and reassured me that I was in full control of the experience. She is so knowledgable and would spend the first 15-20 minutes of each night with us answering questions (the new parent "is this normal?") and even taught us a few things like how to baby wear.
I'd highly recommend Chantell for her overnight services. She made our transition into parenthood easier and showed our baby the same love and care we do. We'll definitely use her services again if/when we have another baby.
Chantell was a joy to work with! She was our post-partum doula for nights from the time our baby arrived until she was a few months old. Chantell always arrived promptly with a smile on her face and a true love for baby. Our baby had some tummy and sleeping troubles, and she adapted well - also being incredibly responsive and flexible to our ideas and feedback. I never felt judged or unsafe with her and would welcome the chance to work together again. We couldn't have survived without Chantell!
We are incredibly grateful for the amazing support Chantell provided throughout the pregnancy and birthing process. From the very beginning, her wealth of experience was evident, as she guided us with care and expertise at every step. She consistently checked in on us, always making herself available whenever we needed her. Her calm presence and attentive nature made us feel truly heard, and she helped us achieve the birthing experience we had hoped for. Highly recommend Chantell for anyone looking for an experienced and caring doula.
Hey, I just wanted to leave a quick message to say how much we appreciated working with Chantell as our doula. She was so kind and sweet just a really calm, grounding presence throughout the whole experience. She was always respectful of our wishes and never made us feel pressured, which meant a lot.
Her presence during labor was so needed. I honestly don’t think we would’ve gotten through it without her. As first time moms, we didn’t know much going in, and she gave us all the knowledge, advice, and reassurance we could’ve asked for. She helped us feel confident not just about the birth itself, but also about stepping into parenthood. We’re so grateful for her support and care, truly couldn’t have asked for a better doula.
If you are on the fence about whether you should incorporate a doula as part of your birth experience… just do it, it’s absolutely worth it! My birth experience was better than I could have imagined and owe so much of that to Chantell! She made me feel safe, calm and comforted. Not only was she a great addition for me, but she also was extremely helpful coaching my husband through everything. The whole process can be overwhelming when it’s your first baby. Chantell’s professionalism and warmth eased my stress. Having someone else in the room with prior delivery experience, but that was advocating for me and my needs, was so important to the positive emotional outcome. I shared my fears concerning the black maternal mortality rate in our initial conversations and she helped put my anxiety at ease and prepared us before the delivery for any possible interventions, so when the nurses and doctors asked me questions I felt like I was able to make informed decisions about what was best for me and the baby. My mom passed away in 2022 and I was sad to not have her in the room with me but Chantell felt like the next best thing! She has nurturing, mother-energy that made me feel safe and supported. She had really great breathing techniques that we practiced that made me feel prepared for the actual delivery. She gave me massages and helped me breathe through my contractions when I was in a lot of pain. There was a point when the pain was unbearable and I didn’t think I could do it but her encouraging words and massage helped me through the toughest parts. We practiced pushing positions ahead of time so I was able to find the perfect one on for me and found the whole experience a lot more pleasant than I was expecting! After our sweet girl was born, the labor and delivery nurse commented that Chantell was one of the best Doulas that she’s ever worked with and that she was so calm and encouraging and treated me like a family member. Chantell also visited us during the postpartum period to check in and answer questions. She even taught us some burping techniques to help settle her stomach which turned out to be a life-saver. We were unsure about hiring a Doula, but after working with Chantell, we will absolutely be including her as part of our next birth story.
Chantell was my postpartum doula and began supporting me and my baby the day after we returned home from the hospital. Over the course of three days, I was deeply impressed by her kindness and expertise, especially in newborn care and recovery after a c-section.
At a time when I had little hope for breastfeeding success (after struggling with my first), Chantell patiently guided me through the process of helping my baby latch and feed. Thanks to her support, I’m now able to breastfeed my baby, a milestone I didn’t think was possible.
I’m truly grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend Chantell to anyone seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable doula.
