Alina Betts
Professional Birth Doula
Alina is a ToLabor trained professional birth doula and lactation counselor in training with a Master's in Communications from the VCU Brandcenter. Throughout her pregnancy, birth, and the life-changing “Year One” of parenting, she realized that there are three key factors that can set the tone of this time period — knowledge, support, and confidence. As a birth doula, this is what she strives to provide you with. The knowledge and education to make informed decisions about your body, your birth, and your baby. The emotional and physical support to remind you of your own strength and power. And the confidence in yourself, your partner and the community you build together, as you transition into parenthood. Every pregnancy is different. Every birth is different. But that feeling of empowerment can always remain the same. Beyond her role as a doula, she is a mom to a beautiful 4 year old boy, 2 puddly Basset Hounds, and 2 sweet cats. She loves to cook, devour good books (or ebooks or audiobooks), and dabble in different art projects (right now, it’s embroidery!)
