Welcome to Love to Life Doula Services
At Love to Life, LaToya Southwell honors birth as sacred, postpartum as transformative, and every family’s journey as unique. With compassionate, holistic support, she nurtures parents through birth, postpartum, and emotional and spiritual healing.
LaToya’s trauma-informed, inclusive care embraces all family structures and birth experiences. As an internationally certified doula, she serves growing families in the tri-state area and beyond—traveling as needed to support your healing and your baby’s well-being. Through doula services, herbal healing, parent coaching, and energy work, LaToya creates safe, loving spaces where mothers, babies, and families can truly thrive.
Because birth isn’t just about bringing a baby into the world—it’s about bringing love to life.
At Love to Life, our mission is to provide holistic, trauma-informed birth and postpartum support that nurtures, educates, and empowers mothers—especially young and first-time moms—as they navigate the sacred transition into motherhood. Through compassionate doula care, herbal healing, energy work, and community support, we create safe spaces where mothers can heal, grow, and break cycles of intergenerational trauma. We believe that when mothers feel seen, heard, and supported, they pass that love and strength onto the next generation.
Mission

Love to Life strives to be a beacon of holistic care, fostering a community where mothers thrive emotionally, physically, and spiritually. By uplifting the power of storytelling, natural healing, and intuitive parenting, we aim to redefine maternal care—one birth, one family, and one village at a time.
