 “Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers — strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength."

—Barbara Katz Rothman

 “I do not care what kind of birth you have… a home birth, scheduled cesarean, epidural hospital birth, or if you birth alone in the woods next to a baby deer. I care that you are supported in your choices, and that you were respected.”

- January Harshe

Caroline Hurst-Millican -Full Spectrum Doula & Childbirth + Parent Educator. Future Midwife.

 Since the very beginning, my career has centered around supporting families. The quote “It Takes a Village” is the driving force behind the services I provide. Before finding my deep passion for birth, I worked closely with families as a nanny, teacher, and provided attendant care for families with special needs. After spending 10 years supporting families through the trial and tribulations of parenting and a personal battle with Endometriosis, my eyes opened to the incredible value of compassionate care for women. Once I became a birth worker, I knew I had found my true calling: to walk alongside parents through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.


 I firmly believe that birth is natural and beautiful, whether it’s medicated, vaginal, or cesarean.

The most important thing is that women feel heard, respected, and nurtured during their baby’s birth. My goal as a doula is that you walk away from your birth experience feeling unconditionally loved, in control, and confident - to transition into motherhood. 


My husband and I welcomed a little girl, October 30, 2020


 Experience includes VBAC, VBA2C, Homebirth, Cesarean, Induction, and experience with a multitude of high-risk pregnancies including infertility and IVF.


* I am vaccinated against COVID-19
