“Cocoon was such an incredible experience for me.
Being super new to doula work it opened my eyes to understanding the expanses of the doula's role. I felt confident to ask questions and learn from my peers in the class given the space Evan created with little judgement. I really appreciated how much Evan asked students to share their experiences so that we could all learn from each other.”
- Rachel
“I honestly believe I would not be able to truly understand my role as a doula without Evan nor would I be as successful.
Beginning my journey as a doula I knew I needed a mentor. Evan was recommended by a friend of mine and her knowledge and professionalism is indescribable.
I looked forward to our weekly sessions and as I completed my certification program I was able to come to Evan with questions and always felt well guided and safe to discuss any number of topics. I honestly believe I would not be able to truly understand my role as a doula without her nor would I be as successful.
Evan is a gem in this work and I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone interested in seeking a mentor.”

Hi, I’m Evan! Being a doula is my life, my love, and the core of who I am.
The word “doula” entered my brain in 2013 when someone asked if I wanted to take an abortion doula training. I was already passionate about advocacy, womens health, gender inclusive care, and social justice - and my version of doula work involves ALL of this. When I later found birth doula work in 2016, I knew that I had found my path in this life and that I was meant to do this work…forever?!
Before I became a birthworker, I farmed, worked in restaurants, was a nanny, and was living the life of hustling and piecing things together to make ends meet. I’m grateful for this time in my younger years to figure it out, and to get my hands dirty and connect to the earth. When I took a doula training, I knew that I was where I was supposed to be. Birthwork is a calling and a passion, and if you’re here…I know you feel the same way.
Since becoming a doula, I have served over 300 families, and don’t plan on stopping any time soon! I have learned over time that every birth is TRULY different, and that to be fully prepared every time we have to open ourselves up to the unknown.
This mentorship is rooted in my philosophy of birth. Flexibility, passion, and deep, authentic care and community building.
We aren’t meant to do this work alone.
I’m so glad you’re here.

“To say she helps me grow as a doula everyday is an absolute understatement”
“I've met with Evan multiple times and will continue to do so because of how much I can learn from her. To say she helps me grow as a doula everyday is an absolute understatement. Every meeting I have with her she guides me out of my comfort zone, and each time I step out of my comfort zone, memorable experiences follow.
She continuously expands my perspective with her stories, advice, and words of encouragement. Her ability to be so empathetic and understanding towards being a new doula and navigating this completely new space helps me feel heard. I know for a fact anyone that comes into contact with her is extremely blessed.
If you're a new doula, I highly suggest her mentorship because they are 100% worth it, and I cannot wait to continue to learn from her!!!”
Mackenzie Moore @hopefordoula
As doulas, I know it can be so hard to prioritize ourselves!
We are caregivers at heart, and I know we don’t blink an eye when it comes to doing something great for our kids, partners, clients, families, and even pets. What would it feel like to take a leap and do something that is JUST for YOU- that will ripple out into your community and the families you support? you deserve to take the time to focus on yourself, to build the doula practice that you know is possible,
I hope to see you inside Cocoon! I can’t wait to witness your transformation.
If you’re curious but have more questions, I would love to chat! Send me an email at evan@bigcatbirthbotanicals.com ❤️
You have questions. I have answers!
How many weeks is Cocoon?
Cocoon is a self paced series of 30+ classes that you can watch on your own time, with 3x a month live calls. Cocoon is a minimum of 9 months, and then you can go month to month to continue seeking support and guidance.
How much does it cost?
Cocoon is $111/month. Pretty unheard of for such a high-touch mentorship experience!
Can you go to births with evan?
If you live locally to Asheville, attending a birth with me is an optional bonus!
Where did the name Cocoon come from?
I came up with the name “cocoon” because I see becoming a doula like transforming from a catepillar into a butterfly! It’s such a deep an ongoing transformation for ourselves, while we are simultaneously supporting transfromations for each parent and family we walk alongside.
Is there a time commitment?
Like growing a baby, growing a doula business takes time. There is a 9 month monthly commitment, then month to month after that.
