Birth & PPM Doulas

We believe all who birth should have access to the supportive care of a doula for their birth and postpartum period. Athens Parent Wellbeing offers scholarships to families currently in our peer support and therapy programs who could use the services of a doula.

You can read more about our doulas below. We would greatly appreciate your support to be able to provide these gifts to more birthing families or those needing help after baby arrives. Sign up for doula support using our intake form at the bottom of the page!

Erika Hardaway

BIRTH DOULA

Hi my name is Erika. I am originally from Peru, but Athens became the place that I call home in October, 2005. I married my high school sweetheart in February, 2009 and we are blessed to have two kids- Daniela (November, 2011) & Lucas (January, 2019). After arriving in Athens, I graduated from Clarke Central High School (May, 2008). I have had the opportunity to work different roles within the Clarke County School District since July, 2010. I have always taken positions where I could best serve the people who need help the most. I love to listen to music, dance, drink coffee, and treat myself to the occasional milkshake from Chick-fil-A.

Susan Phillips

POSTPARTUM DOULA

Susan loved being pregnant, educating herself & was keenly aware of the new life growing inside of her. With her second pregnancy, she was carrying twins and one baby died at about 16 weeks, it was traumatic.

Susan's babies took to the breast with minimal amount of fanfare and nursed when and for as long as they desired. She has often said, she was never happier than when she had a baby at the breast.

Nobody made too much of her postpartum period. Susan's mother came weeks 3 and 4 and cooked but there wasn't much attention given to the fact that she had just given birth. It was kind of a let down except that they were so enthralled with their babies. Susan sought out other mothers early on & created a support system for herself.
