I’m Kalina, Owner & Certified Doula — and I’m so glad you’re here!

Becoming a doula stemmed from a deeply personal journey for me. As a mother of five, I’ve walked through the joys of birth, the heartbreak of miscarriages, and pregnancy complications that left me feeling vulnerable and alone.

Those experiences lit a spiritual calling in me — to stand beside other mothers in their most transformative moments. I saw the need for compassionate advocates who could offer guidance, emotional support, and a steady presence when women need it most. That calling became my purpose: to serve mothers with empathy, grace, and unwavering support.

But as my work grew, so did my vision. I realized that no single doula could meet the vast and diverse needs of every family. That’s why I created Graceful Mama Doula Network — a growing community of doulas and birth professionals who share the same heart:
✨ Mothers are our mission. Doulas are our method. Grace is our foundation.✨

Our mission goes beyond serving families — we also strive to bridge the gap between doulas and medical professionals. I believe the best outcomes happen when trust, respect, and collaboration exist between everyone on the birth team. Through this network, I want to cultivate strong relationships with providers so that together, we can create safer, more empowering birth experiences.

Just as importantly, I am committed to building a network of birthworkers who are truly in this for the right reasons — those called to serve mothers with compassion, integrity, and a genuine desire to make a difference.

My dream is to make support accessible to all moms, regardless of their background or circumstances, and to bring together like-minded doulas who embody these values. Together, we’re building a network rooted in compassion, collaboration, and faith — so that no mother has to walk this journey alone.

I’d love to connect with you and share how our team can walk beside you in your birth story. 🩷

Meet LaCrisha, Certified Lead Birth Doula!

Hi, I’m LaCrisha — Mama Crisha to many!

I’ve always had a passion for supporting moms during labor. Many people told me I should be a nurse, but I wanted to focus on helping one mom at a time through her entire journey. I believe no mom should ever go through her pregnancy alone.

I became a mother at 15 and now have four children of my own. I’ve cared for many other children as well, and they all call me Mama Crisha — my own kids call me mom, and now my grandbabies call me grandma.

I have been part of many births even before becoming a certified doula, and I’ve seen firsthand how important and empowering support can be. Now, I’m proud to help guide new moms through their pregnancy and birth journeys, making sure they know their options and feel cared for every step of the way.

My goal is simple: I won’t tell you what to do or give medical advice — I’m not your doctor or midwife. I’m here to mother you, help you know your options, walk with you, breathe with you, provide comfort, and make sure you have a safe, supported, and positive birth experience.

We’re honored to have LaCrisha as part of the Graceful Mama Doula Network, serving mothers with love, experience, and care.
