About

Hi, I’m Candice

My name is Candice Ross, the owner and founder of Divine Mama Doula. I am a wife and mother of four children. Over the years, I recognized that birth work was my calling and pursued becoming a doula. I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support throughout your birthing journey, with a particular passion for postpartum care. I specialize in working with families expecting multiples, and I am trained to support Cesarean births.

While we often honor and support the mother during pregnancy and cherish the arrival of the baby, the postpartum period can be challenging. Some parents are fortunate to have a supportive network, while others may require additional assistance. I am committed to offering my support and becoming a source of strength and guidance for those in need.

My true purpose is to be able to support the mother and family in a way that I can be a part of your village.
