Doula Vida Atlanta
About Doula Vida Atlanta — Birth & Postpartum Doula Team serving Atlanta Metro
We're Rabsaris & Magedda — and we built this together.
Rabsaris brings 10 years of birth advocacy, 200+ births, Body Ready Method® certification, and the kind of presence that makes you exhale in the hardest moments.
Magedda brings a lifetime of postpartum wisdom, traditional Venezuelan healing foods, and the calm of someone who has held mothers through every kind of becoming.
We're loud, we're warm, we fight and make up and share food — just like any real family. And we bring all of that into every home we step into.
LGBTQ+ affirming care, always.
MEET MAGEDDA
DOULA DE CORAZÓN. GUARDIAN OF THE POSTPARTUM FIRE.
I’ve lived every stage of a woman’s reproductive life. I’ve transformed myself. Postpartum to me is the soft revolution. The becoming. The reckoning. The liberation. I care for the whole family, however it’s made. I offer what’s needed. I’m here to remind you that you are not alone, and you were never meant to do this by yourself.
WHO I AM
Soy una mamá, abuela y doula venezolana. I believe food, hugs, and deep listening are powerful medicine. My culture raised me to show up—and I never stopped.
WHERE I COME FROM
I became a professional doula in Madrid, but I’ve done this all my life. My journey carried me from Venezuela to New York, Spain, Wisconsin, and now Atlanta, GA. Always holding babies, cooking soups, and supporting mothers.
I left Venezuela at 54, and every land since has shaped me anew.
HOW I CARE
With joy and heart. I feel with my whole body, not just ears. I bring water before you ask. I sit with you. I breathe with you. No judgment. Just presence.
WHAT MAKES ME ME
-
I sing “Los Pollitos Dicen” to my grandson.
-
I drink black coffee with cardamom & cinnamon after warm lemon water.
-
I love Guaco & Rubén Blades.
-
I believe in arepas, hugs, and dancing through life.
MY JOYS
-
My grandson’s laughter.
-
Reírme de mis errores.
-
Spontaneity.
-
Good food, happy music, kind people.
WHAT I OFFER YOU
Care with soul. Food with meaning. Presence you’ll remember.

MEET RABSARIS
DOULA, EDUCATOR, LISTENER. STILL BREASTFEEDING. STILL SHOWING UP.
I was doing this work long before I became a mother, falling in love with all kinds of families. Single mothers held by their own mothers. Queer families defining family for themselves. Partners, men and women, breaking down in my arms.
After becoming a mother myself, my devotion only deepened. Birth is always hard, no matter how you prepare. AND it is wild, joyful, and beyond words. Being a doula, witnessing that threshold, will always be one of the greatest joys of my life.
I get it and I get you. No pedestals, no unrealistic expectations, just depth and your truth.
HOW I GOT TO DOULA WORK
I didn’t plan to be a doula, but something about birth work hooked me. The moment someone feels their power… I live for that. 200+ births in and I still do.
Autonomy is my why

OUR SHARED JOURNEY: DOULA VIDA ATLANTA IS US
So, you've met us individually, but what about us together? We're a mother-daughter duo, and honestly, our relationship hasn't always been easy. We've lived in that "too close, too far" tension, we fight, make up, then share food – just like any real family.
And we've worked really hard at it. That journey, that commitment to building and nurturing our own relationship, has become an asset in this work. Because, let's be real, no relationship gets easier after a baby, right? We get it.
We're loud, happy people, and our happiness is contagious. We don't do toxic positivity, but in this work, being infused with grounding reverence and invited into lightness is essential.
