“Supporting your birth, your way”
Hey love — I’m Lucretia “Mama Lu” Stewart.
I’m a birth doula, mother, and seasoned pediatric medical professional with a heart rooted in helping women feel seen, safe, and powerful throughout their birth journey.
After years in medicine — and my own experience as a young Black mom navigating bias and birth trauma — I realized this work was bigger than me. I became a doula to be the voice, the calm, and the advocate so many of us need but don’t always get.
I believe that a woman who is born to create the creators should always understand and stand in her power. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, I’ll walk beside you with care, truth, and unwavering support.
Let’s birth boldly — together.
Services for all mothers.
Your journey deserves more than care — it deserves connection.
Birth Doula Support
A doula doesn’t just support your birth — she protects your power, your peace, and your voice when it matters most.
Pre-Natal Support
Prenatal support is more than preparation — it’s empowerment, education, and emotional grounding for the journey ahead.
Immediate Post Birth Support
The moments after birth are sacred — and every mother deserves gentle care, grounding presence, and a voice that honors her healing.
WHAT MY MOMS ARE SAYING
“Her presence and advocacy changed everything for my birth experience.”
Nice to meet you. I’m Mama Lu.
Why I Became a Doula
I became a doula because I’ve lived what too many Black women face — being unheard, overlooked, and dismissed during birth. As a young mother and longtime pediatric medical assistant, I saw how respect was given based on status, not humanity. Later, as a Program Director mentoring young women of color, I witnessed heartbreaking losses and a lack of advocacy. I knew something had to change.
So I stepped in.
I’m a DONA International–trained and certified birth doula, licensed and backed by over a decade in pediatric healthcare. In the past two years, I’ve supported seven safe, healthy births — including VBAC — with a calm, steady presence and deep respect for each woman’s unique journey.
Because birth shouldn’t come with fear.
Because advocacy isn’t optional — it’s life-saving.
I’m here to make sure you feel seen, safe, and never alone. Not on my watch. I got you.
