Laconia Fennell, Holistic Doula
In America, Black birthing people are three to four times more likely to die in childbirth than their white counterparts. This is a terrifying statistic that needs to change.
Laconia Fennell is a certified Holistic Birth Doula trained by A Life Of Peace Wellness Education Institute. Laconia holds a bachelor’s degree in Biology and Nursing and is currently studying to be a Naturopathic Herbalist in order to offer additional holistic services to her clients and community.
She is dedicated to nurturing and empowering the families of her community. Laconia serves with an unconditional touch of compassion and love. She is very family-oriented and passionate about the joy of supporting growing families.
She believes all families should have continuous care, comfort, and support of a doula during this sacred time in their lives.

Our Mission
Our mission is to empower, educate, support, and advocate for women and their families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period with compassion during this beautiful transition in their lives.
Our Vision
Our vision is to compassionately provide doula services for our community. We believe that support from an experienced doula should be part of routine maternity care as it improves birth outcomes and reduces postpartum mental health issues, all while reducing overall healthcare costs.
We’ve entered birth work to help bring confidence and trust to the birthing space. This creates a beautiful beginning to the growth of a family, serving as inspiration for parenthood.
We believe how we birth is how we live, and new life deserves to be welcomed with trust, respect, and unwavering kindness.
We aim to remind birthing people of their innate knowledge and strength to move through the uncertainty and unpredictability of birth (and of life).
We are honored to be doulas. Everyone deserves a doula – everyone deserves to maneuver through the birthing space comfortably and with a feeling of safety. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and offered an environment to make informed decisions. As doulas, we recognize that people of all identities and all family dynamics give birth.
We are here to hold space for the many ways pregnancy, birth, and parenthood look and unfold. We are ecstatic to bring our presence to this mission and offer unbiased, non-judgmental support during such a special time.
Our Values
- We treat our birthing families like our own with respectful, compassionate, and nurturing care.
- All ways of birth should be honored.
- People giving birth should have the resources they need to make informed choices about their pregnancy, labor, and birth.
- People giving birth should have the resources they need to make informed choices about their pregnancy, labor, and birth.
- All birthing families will always feel supported and empowered.
