Being a doula comes from my core and is more of an intuition rather than something learned. My goal is to provide you with a calm and non-judgemental atmosphere where you feel confident, peaceful, safe, and prepared. I take a holistic approach and will encourage you to follow your instincts. My focus is on gentle, calm, and peaceful childbirth. I have training in Spinning Babies and I am also a Certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Education instructor.

Hayley's interest in birth work began after arriving home from the hospital from an unexpected plot twist in her birth story! Realizing how supportive her own doula was inspired her to take on that role for other birthing families. Her extensive research and classes before the birth of her son only added to her interest in the birth world.
Hayley trained to be a birth assistant at a local birth center, and this experience pushed her to pursue her doula certification. She is a DONA Certified Birth Doula, with a Neonatal Resuscitation Certification. She stands by the words "Support, Advocate, & Inform" and believes she offers all three to birthing families.
My name is Melissa Kerce and I am a certified DONA doula in the Jacksonville area. My experience includes attending births in hospitals, VBAC’s, cesareans, home births and birth centers. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and bring ample knowledge of prenatal/postpartum exercise and yoga to your pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. After completing my doula training in 2018, I dove into learning about perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and have a passion to ensure all parents are connected with the resources and support they need. I am now pursuing a Master’s of Social Work to help parents find their groove physically and mentally before, during and after birth. Sliding scales are always available and I take United Healthcare insurance.
