While giving birth is undoubtedly an amazing experience, it can also be extremely overwhelming. After all, there are simply so many things that can happen, and it can be impossible to know exactly what to expect. If you could use some guidance, I would love to introduce you to your new best friends at The Village Circle. As a Parkersburg maternity and newborn photographer, I adore working with clients to make sure they can make this a time worth remembering. Here is why I think you will love this group!
Parkersburg, West Virginia
The Village Circle is a private practice that is owned and operated by Alyssa. While she might be one of the top doulas in the area currently, becoming a birth worker wasn’t always in her plans. During her first birth, she had an induction and felt let down by the entire experience. Once she became pregnant with her second, she was determined to do things differently. She hired a midwife and delivered at a freestanding birth center. Then, with her last pregnancy, she decided to do a midwife-assisted home birth. She now works as a doula, serving as an advocate to make sure every parent can have their ideal delivery.

If you want to see if The Village Circle is the doula for you, the first step will be to schedule a free 30-minute consultation. During this time, you can have an open and honest conversation so you can decide if she’s a match. She is going to go over your birth goals and answer your questions during this appointment.
From there, you will be able to choose one of several packages. Her most popular is the Modern Mama Doula Package. This will give you all-inclusive and personalized care that will prepare you for your birth. She is going to give you all of the advice you need, point you toward trusted resources, and ensure you feel ready to have your ideal delivery. You will have several prenatal visits as well as continuous support throughout your labor. You will also have a postpartum visit. She additionally offers community doula support to ensure every person can have the support they deserve!

On top of The Village Circle doula care, Alyssa offers courses and coaching. With both options, she is going to provide you with highly personalized care designed to empower you throughout your labor. You will have one-on-one guidance as well as continued texting and call support. Once those early contractions start, you should know exactly what to do!
If you could use some help with your delivery, Alyssa at The Village Circle is going to be there for you! Whether you choose her for your doula or just want a comprehensive course, she has just the thing.
