Meet your Doula

My name is Gianna Alston and I’m a North Carolina native that has been passionate about pregnancy and childbirth for as long as I can remember. In 2025, I completed my doula training through DONA. I currently serve my community through both independent doula services, and through Best Baby Wake as a volunteer doula for families at higher risk of facing disparities. If you think you may qualify, please contact me in regard to receiving a referral. I am CPR and First Aid certified for adults and pediatrics with medical experience handling emergent situations and celebrating healing! So I come with a level mind and an eye for alternative options to help you adapt to your individual experience with respect to your birth preferences.

I believe that my role as a doula is to prepare expecting parents by helping them learn to trust themselves, their bodies, and their instincts so that they feel confident, empowered, educated, and ready to welcome their babies into the world in whatever way is best for them. Think of me as a connection coach! Far too often, I feel that pregnancy and childbirth are approached as if they are unnatural and a problem to be fixed. Birth happens, and it’s something to be celebrated.

I’m also a mother, an aunt, and the product of advocacy. You should know that you deserve the best support from someone who truly cares about helping you achieve the best birth experience possible, I look forward to helping you reach your birth goals!
