Whitney believes that providing individualized support for families allows them to strengthen their confidence which enhances their experience. With professional training and a gentle spirit, Whitney is an excellent addition to any support team. Her personal birth and postpartum experiences have given her the compassion and desire to work with families and the knowledge she has gained through her years of training has contributed to her naturally falling into her role as a doula.
To each family, Whitney brings a calm and encouraging spirit that is key to every individual. She is dedicated to raising the standard for doulas and offering nonjudgmental support for all families.
She resides in Leland, North Carolina with her husband Michael, of 15 years, and their five amazing children. Outside of doula work she soaks up her time with family, loves to organize, read, catch a good show on Netflix and start new home projects.

With a love for serving and supporting people, Hali considers helping families thrive during pregnancy and parenthood to be one of her greatest passions. Due to her experience, it is no surprise how perfectly she fit into her role as a labor and postpartum doula. Along with being a doula, she finds joy as a Pediatric OTA. All of these experiences have given her invaluable knowledge about family dynamics and their specific needs.
Hali was born and raised in Wilmington, NC where she currently lives with her husband and son Jude. She enjoys kayaking, camping, going to the beach, gardening and attending church at Lifepoint with the love of her life. When she's forced to be inside, she loves to watch a Friends marathon.

"Everything my doula showed us helped tremendously. It meant so much to me for my husband to be involved and made it a far better experience for him as well! Having our doula was a valuable part of my labor and delivery. I would suggest having a doula, and specifically Wilmington Coastal Doulas to anyone.”
