Whitney Hardie, Founder
Senior Birth Doula, Photographer, Lactation Educator
Whitney began working as a birth photographer 12 years ago. She is now a full-spectrum doula trained by BADT. Her work centers bodily autonomy, anti-racist action and mindfulness.
With an eye toward reducing birth trauma, Whitney prepares families with evidence-based information regarding childbirth and baby feeding options. She will accompany you down whatever path your pregnancy leads with compassion and deep listening.
Her clients describe her as a calm presence in the storm - and she loves seeing them empowered in their journey to parenthood! She also admittedly loves a late night stop at Taco Bell. Chalupas forever!

Angel Mattes, Postpartum Care coordinator
Senior Birth & Postpartum Doula, Lactation Educator, CPST
Angel has worked with birthing and postpartum families for 16 years and serves on the board of NWA’s Postpartum Support International’s Arkansas chapter. She is passionate about improving birth outcomes, evidence-based information, and patient-centered care.
Her areas of expertise include breastfeeding, babywearing, infant care, and all things car seats! She loves educating new parents, giving them gentle encouragement, and helping them discover their self-confidence.
Angel knows there’s no “one size fits all” approach to parenting, and supports families to find their own path. She supports women to trust their bodies and make informed decisions — to have beautiful, peaceful, and joyful experiences welcoming their babies to the world. She is a bit of a baby whisperer, and loves sharing her hard-earned knowledge of birth, babies and parenting with families.

Euni yutzy
Apprentice Birth Doula
Euni trained with DONA International in January of 2020, and cross-certified with ProDoula in the fall of 2021. She is also trained in Spinning Babies. Her interest in doula work was piqued in 2017 when she gave birth to her oldest child. She experienced firsthand the positive impact doula support can have on a family’s experience.
As a doula, Euni is rooted in the belief that wherever or however they give birth, mothers never forget how they were treated during this pivotal experience.
Euni lives in South Fayetteville with her husband and three kids. She grew up in Central Kansas, which is why you hear her gushing about the “gorgeous weather we’re having” when it’s pouring rain. She listens to lots of podcasts and audiobooks – especially thrillers. Euni cares deeply about family and community, and is happiest when her house is full of people.
