About Transition Phase Doula Services
Who I Am
Welcome! I'm August- your Casa Grande- based doula with a heart for support, education and empowerment.
Born in Maryland, raised in both Texas and Arizona, and well-traveled across the U.S, I bring a wide range of life experiences to the families I serve. My journey started in emergency medicine- I trained to become a paramedic but quickly realized that my heart was too big for that fast-paced, clinical world. I left with my EMT certification and a deep desire to help other in a more personal and meaningful way.
As my husband and I began planning our own family, I found myself overwhelmed by how much crucial information is missing from traditional hospital birth classes. I spent countless nights scouring the internet for answers, watching videos, and reading everything I could get my hands on. That search lit a fire in me.
I became a doula because I want to be the person I needed- someone who listens, who informs, and who empowers. I offer evidence- based guidance and wholehearted support for anyone on the path to parenthood: whether you're trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or navigating life after birth. If you've ever felt like pregnancy and birth happened to you instead of with you, I'm here to help you reclaim your voice and your power.
One of the biggest concerns I hear from moms and felt myself- is the lack of body autonomy in many hospital settings. Too often, birthing people are talk at, not with. Decisions are made quickly, consent is assumed rather than earned, and medical routines can overshadow personal choice. I believe every person has the right to understand their options, ask questions, and say "yes" or "no" with confidence and clarity. My role as your doula is to help you build your voice to self-advocate for your autonomy, remind you that your body is your own, and help you navigate your care with informed consent at the center.
In addition, to birth and postpartum support, I'm currently expanding my offerings by training in placental encapsulation- a service many families find helpful for postpartum healing, energy balance, and emotional well-being. I'm excited to continue growing my offers to help provide the families in my community informed care that meets families where they are.
Your story matters. Your experience matters, And don't have to walk this path alone.
With love,
August <3
