Marie Barnett
Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula
Hi, I’m Marie! I’m passionate about empowering growing families to have transformative, supported, and positive birth experiences.
My background includes four years as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), which taught me firsthand the power of compassionate care, clear communication, and strong advocacy in a healthcare setting. I became a doula to bring that seamless balance of clinical understanding and intuitive support to parents navigating one of life’s most meaningful chapters.
Outside of doula work, I’m actively involved in my church’s children’s ministry, where I love teaching our youngest community members—including my own children! I bring that same patient, nurturing energy to every family I serve.
“Marie provided so much support to us after our baby was born. We felt really nervous as first timers and having someone there to help us learn through the first weeks of our son’s life saved us so much stress.”
“Marie was amazing. Our labor was long, but she was there with us and always supporting and encouraging. Her energy gave us more energy through out the labor process.”
“I highly recommend Great Expectations Doulas but especially Marie. She is extremely knowledgeable about supporting women through labor and brings a calm, dependable presence to everything she does.” - Diedra
“Marie Barnett is definitely the doula to have in your space when giving birth! She is down to earth, genuine and peaceful. When I have my next baby, she’ll definitely be a part of my experience again!!” - Sarah
“We have so many good things to say about Marie. Thank you for being so amazing during our birth. Your presence made the experience a really wonderful birth day!” - Amanda
