Meet Natalie Portman

Natalie is the founder of Beloved Birth Doula Services and host of Faith Over Fear: The Christian Pregnancy & Birth Podcast. She is dedicated to supporting families through the sacred journey of childbirth with a faith-centered approach. Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, she loves serving families in her hometown and the surrounding areas through in-person doula support. For families living outside of the Jacksonville area or those who prefer virtual support, Natalie also offers virtual birth coaching services.

As a wife and mother to three beautiful children, Natalie understands the joys and challenges of parenthood firsthand. Her journey to becoming a doula began after the birth of her daughter in 2021. The experience was profoundly empowering, and she came to believe that every woman deserves to feel supported and uplifted during their birth journey. As a Christian doula, Natalie sees her work as a calling - a way to serve and love others while reflecting the heart of Jesus in every birth she attends. Her heart is to prepare families for this season so that they come away from the experience with a greater love, joy, and trust in Jesus.

Natalie is a DONA Certified Birth Doula, a Certified Childbirth Educator through the Biblical Birth School, and an Advanced VBAC Doula certified by The VBAC Link. She specializes in supporting women who desire a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and is passionate about empowering families to make informed and confident decisions. Additionally, she is a Certified Body Ready Method® Professional, offering specialized training to help mothers prepare their bodies for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.

In addition to doula services, Natalie offers a Christian online childbirth education course, a 30-day devotional for pregnancy & postpartum, and Christian Birth Affirmation Cards - all designed to help families prepare for birth with faith over fear.
