Earthside with Evonna Birth Services is a team of full-spectrum doulas dedicated to supporting every stage of your journey—from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond. We are deeply rooted in indigenous, African, and Southern African American traditions, integrating these practices with modern care. We are also facilitators of maternal healing ceremonies such as womb massage, closing of the bones, full-body massage, in-home yoni steams, and blessing ways, ensuring a comprehensive and empathetic support system.
For Black families in Georgia, our work is especially impactful. We honor culturally sensitive and personalized care that enhances each pregnancy and postpartum experience.
Given our high demand, we often book months in advance. To secure the best doula for your needs, reach out to us now. Schedule a conversation today to discover how our full-spectrum support can make your birthing experience nurturing, empowering, and deeply connected.

Our New
Doula Collective!
DONA & BADT Trained Birth Doulas
Earthside with Evonna Birth Services, founded by doula Evonna Christmon Marshall, is deeply committed to transforming the pregnancy experience for Black families. Based in the heart of the South, we offer a space where holistic healing and personalized support come together to empower families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Our goal is to nurture families with a profound connection to their roots and to revolutionize maternal care.
To further this mission, we’ve created The Motherhood Healing Collective. This initiative highlights the importance of Black and Indigenous doula work in Georgia. We provide support that goes beyond the basics, integrating ancestral practices and cultural sensitivity into our care.
Together, Earthside with Evonna and The Motherhood Healing Collective are dedicated to rekindling connections to heritage and promoting holistic well-being. We aim to build a supportive legacy that uplifts Black families and creates a lasting impact on maternal care in Georgia and beyond.

Culturally speaking, Black women have always had companions with no medical training, like mothers and aunts, providing emotional support and comfort during pregnancy. Doulas are similar to these companions. Having the support of a Doula can prepare a family for some of the challenges they may experience as people of color.
"My experience with Evonna was more than I expected. She helped me prepare for the delivery I desired with prenatal yoga, Mama Talks with other moms, and childbirth education classes to keep me informed. All of those things allow me to say I had my baby in CONFIDENCE and the way I wanted.
I also purchased the Help A Sista Out postpartum kit that included my placenta encapsulation capsules, tincture, umbilical cord keepsake, postpartum herbal soak, and homemade nipple balm. You can't get any better than that!"
