Because Motherhood

Deserves Support.

Motherhood is beautiful, but let’s be real—it’s also one of the most challenging transitions you’ll ever face. After the excitement of birth, the postpartum period can feel overwhelming. Sleepless nights, endless feedings, physical recovery, and the emotional adjustment of stepping into your new identity as a mom often collide with today’s reality: isolation, lack of family support, and unrealistic expectations placed on new mothers. Unlike past generations, many moms don’t have a village to lean on, leaving them to navigate this life-altering season on their own. That’s where a postpartum doula steps in—providing the practical help, emotional care, and expert guidance you need to not just survive, but truly embrace this transformative chapter. Whether it’s holding space for your emotions, offering hands-on support, or simply being there when it feels like no one else is, a postpartum doula is your anchor during these early days of motherhood.

My sweet fam. The Webb’s 2023.


Hey there! I’m Vallen—a mom of five (one of my babies is watching over us), a postpartum doula, and someone who’s been in the trenches of new motherhood. From sleepless nights and endless diaper changes to navigating postpartum anxiety, depression, and everything in between, I get it. Motherhood is beautiful, yes—but let’s be real, it’s also messy, emotional, and sometimes downright overwhelming.

My journey into this work began after the birth of my second daughter. Like many moms, I was blindsided by postpartum depression and rage. I thought I was losing my mind—my marriage was unraveling, I felt like I was failing as a mom, and I was too afraid and ashamed to ask for help. It wasn’t until some amazing military spouses and my husband stepped in that I began to find my footing again. That experience lit a fire in me: no mom should ever feel that alone and not know where to turn.

Fast forward to today, and I’ve spent the last five years pouring my heart into supporting moms during one of the most transformative—and vulnerable—times of their lives.

What Makes My Care Unique

I specialize in helping all mamas, especially ones with high anxiety (been there, done that!), mamas without a support system, military families, and supporting families navigating the postpartum period after pregnancy loss. I focus on creating a beautiful, healing, and joyful postpartum experience for you. Whether you’re holding your rainbow baby or your first little one, my goal is to make you feel supported, empowered, and capable.

As a trauma-informed doula, I bring a calming, non-judgmental presence into your home. I know how to hold space for your emotions—whether you’re laughing one minute, crying the next, or wondering how you’re going to make it to bedtime (hint: you will, and I’m here to help).

Why I Love What I Do

Motherhood is raw and real, but it’s also the most extraordinary transformation you’ll ever experience. I’m here to help you feel less alone, more confident and supported every step of the way. From practical tasks like folding laundry and meal prep to listening as you share your birth story for the 100th time, I believe in the power of care, connection, and community.

My mission is simple: I want to help you thrive—not just survive—the postpartum period. And trust me, thriving doesn’t mean being perfect. It means feeling heard, cared for, and a little less like you’re carrying the world on your shoulders.

Why Moms Love Me

I’m not just here for your baby and your family—I’m here for you. As a mom who has been through the ups, downs, and sideways spirals of postpartum life, I bring a mix of expertise, humor, and real talk to my work. Think of me as your postpartum bestie, but with professional training and a deep love for what I do.

Motherhood changes you—it challenges you in ways you never imagined, but it also grows you into the person you’re meant to be. Let’s make this season one of joy, healing, and strength.

I can’t wait to support you on this beautiful, wild ride called motherhood. Let’s do this together!
