WHO IS CAMILLE …
I am Camille Williams, the Owner and Founder of Heart & Soul Doula Care.
My love for assisting in the care and support of newborns has been constant throughout my life. Experiences and opportunities have shown me that I am what you may call a natural nurturer. It all began at the young age of 15 years old when my first godchild was born. I would definitely say that he started this doula journey for me. Having that opportunity to be so hands on, and being a part of his everyday care showed me that I possessed the necessary patience and skills. Throughout the years, I was fortunate to learn about newborn behavior, both coping & soothing techniques, and more.
Prior to becoming a Doula, I worked as a newborn, child(ren), and family photographer for 4 years. Shortly after, I began to work in an obstetrics and gynecology practice for 7 years; where I was able to soak up a plethora of knowledge in regards to the pregnancy phase. It was through photography that I rediscovered my love and passion for being present in the moments of life. I decided to become a Doula for a multitude of reasons but the three most important are:
To support families, no matter what they may look like to others, that do not have a support system.
To minimize postpartum depression and/or anxiety within new parents.
To “mother” the birthing person because they too need the same love and support with navigating in the world as a parent.
I love being able to help others. To provide families with emotional, physical, mental, and informational support in a non-judgmental manner, while creating strong personal bonds that include loyalty, privacy, and trust.
For years, my love for uplifting and caring for families has always been a passion of mine which led me down the path to becoming a Doula.
