Rooted Magnolias Birth & Location Services
Rooted Magnolias provides birth and postpartum doula services to families looking for supportive care centered on mother and baby
Empowering you to birth confidently
Our goal is to empower you to feel confident and supported throughout your birthing journey. As your doula, we stand beside you as an advocate—offering evidence-based information, guidance, and encouragement so you can make the choices that feel right for you. We also help create open communication with your care team, ensuring your wishes are respected and your care aligns with your vision.
Emotional support
We nurture the emotional side of birth by offering a steady, compassionate presence and creating an environment where the natural rhythms and hormones of labor can flow. Whether your birth is unmedicated or medically complex, we provide comfort, reassurance, and care so that you and your family feel fully supported during this intimate and transformative experience.
Physical support
We provide hands-on care to bring ease and strength to the birthing process. Using techniques like positioning, massage, and counter-pressure, we support your body’s natural rhythm and encourage steady labor progression. These comfort measures not only create a calm environment for labor hormones to flow but can also assist your baby in moving through the pelvis and into your arms with greater ease.
Our Belief
At Rooted Magnolias, we see pregnancy as a sacred miracle and birth as a deeply spiritual passage.
We believe in supporting the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—through guidance, presence, and practices that honor the natural wisdom of birth. Our role is to create a grounded, nurturing space where families feel empowered, connected, and cared for throughout this transformative journey.
Words From Your Doula
Frunshana Whitaker, CD
Welcome, and congratulations on your pregnancy 🌸🤍
Frunshana Whitaker believes that childbirth is more than a physical event—it is a sacred and spiritual experience. Her calling toward birth work began in childhood while watching TLC’s Birth Hour alongside her grandmother, planting the seeds for a lifelong passion.
Through Rooted Magnolias, she is committed to holistic, spiritual, and ancestral care that honors the whole person. Her mission is to educate, empower, and ensure women—especially Black women and women of color—are seen, heard, supported, and able to advocate for themselves throughout their birth journey. She strives to prevent traumatic experiences by creating safe, informed, and affirming spaces where mothers can enter parenthood with joy and strength.
