Penny Gilchrist

Penny has been a Postpartum and Labor Doula in the Atlanta area for over 25 years. She received her Doula certification through the Cappa Doula Association and provided labor support in hospitals for 14 years.

She assists new moms with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, sleep schedules (with flexibility as babies aren’t robots or textbooks) soothing techniques, and so much more. She believes that no two babies are alike and always focuses on the needs of both baby AND mom. She loves helping parents feel confident about taking care of their babies. In addition to her at-home consults (pre and post baby’s arrival), she also offers private labor classes.

Penny lives in East Cobb, GA with her husband. She loves gardening, cooking, and most of all, spending time with her grandsons and family.

Penny is the facilitator for the Atllanta circles (Brookhaven & Sandy Springs) of CircleMoms.
