    Chelsea Croce

    FOUNDER & CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
    Serving East Tennessee & Southern CA

    Chelsea Lynn Croce is a Birth & Postpartum Doula, Birth Photographer and Parenting Educator with a passion for empowering families during the incredible journey of birth and parenthood. Chelsea's vocation as a doula was born from a profound awareness of the need for compassionate, non-judgmental guidance and the creation of a supportive community for families.

    Chelsea believes that a woman's experience during pregnancy and childbirth has immense impact on her life and is the foundation for healthy bonding and a smooth progression into motherhood. She aims to support each client in creating a memorable and positive birth story and documenting that story with beautiful photos.

    As a postpartum doula, Chelsea focuses on attuning to the unique needs of each family she works with. Whether she’s providing a listening ear, offering breastfeeding support, walking a mom through babywearing techniques or modeling newborn calming tips; her goal is the make the postpartum period as smooth and peaceful as possible. She’s provided thousands of hours of in-home daytime and overnight postpartum care since 2013.

    Chelsea is wife to William and mama to her daughter, Juniper Autumn. She enjoys camping, hiking, backyard barbecues, baking bread, laughing with friends around the fire, homeschooling her daughter, and adventures with her family.

Setting judgments and agenda aside, her intuition guides her into sacred relationship with the clients she serves and the bond is unbreakable!

Lauren shares her knowledge and expertise with the community regularly by mentoring new doulas, teaching infant sleep seminars, and providing in-home postpartum & sleep support to growing families.
