​

Hey there, radiant parents-to-be! I’m Chinique Brown, Clinician III with a master’s in psychology and a vibrant Full-Spectrum Doula. I bring high-energy, evidence-based care and wholehearted support through pregnancy, AND the transformative postpartum period. 
Certified Full-Spectrum Birth Doula whose heart races with the incredible energy of labor and birth, supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the powerful transition into postpartum. As a Clinician III, I develop and deliver individualized crisis plans along with crisis intervention, bringing advanced clinical insight into doula care. When labor begins, I stand beside you as your
trusted advocate, offering calm guidance, evidence-based comfort techniques, and empowering advocacy that boost confidence, reduce interventions, and strengthen your birth experience. Once your baby arrives, I will continue as your Postpartum Doula, supporting the “fourth trimester” with hands-on newborn care, breastfeeding and pumping support, emotional check-ins, light
household assistance, and mood monitoring—helping families adapt, bond, and heal in a vulnerable yet transformative time. My certifications—Certified Peer Support Specialist, Harm Reduction Specialist, Certified Doula, Certified Full Spectrum & Postpartum Doula—alongside my Lactation Counselor and Educator training in progress, equip me to meet you with non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and culturally affirming care. Whether you're birthing in a hospital, birth center, or at home, I blend my clinical training with doula devotion, believing every family—including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and historically marginalized communities—deserves to feel empowered, respected, and profoundly supported at every stage. Let’s walk this journey together: from the first breath of labor to the gentle rhythm of postpartum life, I’m here to hold space, advocate fiercely, and celebrate you.

Lin Cook

Current Historian

Doula Services, Lactation Consultant, Bradley Childbirth Educator, Infant Massage, Postpartum Care​ - primarily overnights

​

Lin has been a labor doula since 1991 and a postpartum doula since 1988, making her the first doula in South Carolina. She believes in the natural process and how birth can empower a woman in other aspects of life.  As Lin also teaches Bradley Childbirth Classes, she believes education is key to making informed choices. While she has the most experience working with couples who give birth naturally, she has worked with all types of situations including medicated births and scheduled C-sections. "All women need support, especially in a hospital setting."  
In addition to the services mentioned, Lin also offers Infant Massage classes.  In 2010 she became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).  She spearheaded the effort to pass the 2006 Breastfeeding in Public law and is actively involved in the South Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition.   Lin offers in-home lactation visits.  "Being a doula is the most honored job I have ever held." - Lin
