Hello
my name is Natalie Vaughn and I am a DONA trained birth doula. I was inspired to become a birth doula after experiencing personally what a difference a doula can make. I am also a wife and mom of three, a US Navy veteran, and a culinary arts professional who is passionate about holistic living, nutrition, and wellness.
My Story
The trials I have faced in life have driven home a few truths that shape how I view birth:
-
that women know their own bodies better than anyone else
-
That women were intelligently designed to birth
-
That trauma occurs when those two truths are not understood and respected
Those truths give me an unshakable faith in birth that I not only want to bring to your birth space, but help cultivate in you. I want you to feel an unshakable faith in your bodies ability to birth that will move mountains. I also want to arm you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your birth, whether that be in a hospital, birth center, or at home. Birth is physiological and depends so deeply on feeling safe, loved, and supported. I want to bring that safety, love, and support to your birth space. I also believe that having an empowered birth experience leads to a healthier postpartum, better bonding with your baby, and deeper connection with your partner. The domino effect of beginning your journey into motherhood with power, faith, and joy cannot be overstated.
Why Every Breath Doula? The name was inspired by the first birth I ever attended. I stayed beside that mama and breathed with her through every contraction and taught her how to use her breath to keep herself calm and focused. You can read all of the labor books in the world and take all of the birthing classes that money can buy, but in the moment it is not the same as having someone beside you to remind you that you are capable. Let me be that support for you.

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord" -Psalm 150:6
I am not a doula so I can hold babies. I am a doula so I can hold mothers.
You are everything your baby needs, but sometimes we need a little help finding that power within us. I want to empower you to own your birth and help you start your parenthood journey with all the tools you need to make informed choices.
