Meet Your Doula

Hi, I'm Hannah Ghidey

Hi, I'm Hannah, a DONA International certified birth doula in Jacksonville, Florida, and the heart behind Nurture Your Habits LLC. I created this practice because I believe the habits you build now (how you rest, how you breathe, how you ask for help) can nurture you and your baby long after birth.

Certified Doula

My Story

My journey has been shaped by years of supporting children, families, and individuals through both community work and case management, where I learned the importance of meeting people with empathy, knowledge, and calm presence. Those experiences naturally led me to birth work, where I found my passion: helping women feel seen, supported, and strengthened during one of the most transformative chapters of their lives.

My Approach

How I support you

As a certified birth doula, my focus begins in pregnancy and carries through labor support, ensuring families feel prepared, confident, and emotionally grounded before they ever enter the postpartum phase.

While I value postpartum doula care deeply, my goal is to create a foundation during pregnancy and birth that makes that transition as smooth and nurturing as possible.

In Hannah's Words

My role isn't to replace your provider or make decisions for you. My role is to walk alongside you, so that when you look back on this season, you feel proud of how you were supported, how you advocated for yourself, and how you showed up for your baby.
