Hello Sunshine!

I’m Janicia Cosey, founder of The Altruistic Doula, and I’m passionate about helping families feel prepared, respected, and supported as they navigate the transition into parenthood.

My journey into birth and postpartum support has been shaped by a deep desire to care for others. with more than eight years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant in North Carolina and Virginia, along with professional training in Birth and Postpartum Doula Support through DONA and Common-Sense Childbirth and training in Lactation Basics, I bring both experience and compassion to the families I serve.

but for me, doula work is about more than what happens during birth or bringing a baby home. I believe the transition into parenthood impacts the entire family- and every member deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.

Through The Altruistic Doula, my goal is to create an ecosystem where families can find compassionate education, meaningful connection, practical support, and trusted resources throughout their journey.

Whether you’ve preparing to welcome your first baby, growing your family, navigating postpartum, or helping a sibling adjust to a new role, I’m honored to walk alongside you.

You don’t have to navigate parenthood alone.
