Daisy Hodge · Durham, NC birth doula
Warm, informed care to help you feel grounded in your body, confident in your choices, and supported through pregnancy, labor, and early postpartum.

Calm presence.
Strong advocate.
I offer nonjudgmental emotional, physical, and informational support. Your wishes lead the way. My role is to help you prepare and move through the unknowns of labor with someone trained beside you.
In a hospital, shifts change and new providers move in and out of the room. I remain a trusted and continuous presence. I know your preferences and stay with you and any birthing partners from labor through birth.
In addition to hospital settings, I support births at birth centers and at home. No matter where you choose to give birth, I will be there with you.

Meet me
Before embarking on my birth work journey, I built my career as a Pilates instructor, dance teacher, and choreographer. My approach to labor and birth support draws on extensive experience helping people explore breath, strength, body awareness, choice, and resilience.
That experience now informs the way I prepare families and offer physical comfort through labor—always following my clients’ guidance and their voices.
More about meAll birthing people are welcome
I support birthing people of all genders, sexual orientations, and family structures. Trans, nonbinary, queer, and LGBTQIA+ clients can know that their pronouns, relationships, bodies, and choices will be respected and honored throughout our work together.
