My name is A’Myrah Bates, I obtained my bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Kinesiology with a focus on Fitness Leadership and a minor in Sign Language. I found a love for birthing after the birth of my daughter.

I have an extensive background in all births from medicated to unassisted! My goal is always for you to have the birth you desire in a safe space. I will help you prepare for the birth you choose but also knowing the alternatives that are available to you. Having a healthy and safe birth paves the way for a prosperous postpartum. 

I’ve come to understand that all mothers deserve a sacred birthing space to foster a loving relationship with her new family. I want all mothers to feel nurtured, capable, and encouraged throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. As a Doula I strive to help all families celebrate, navigate and embrace the journey of parenthood.

I a lead doula with Birth Story Boutique as one of the most experienced doulas here. I partner with Heidi as her primary back up doula. I am a teacher and mentor for the doulas here gaining experience also. I am part of the Full Moon package, but I often work with birthing people on a sliding scale if needed and based on my availability.

In working with Heidi, I have completed the rigorous Birth Story Internship and worked alongside Heidi since 2022.
