Matt Harris
Matt Harris has a Bachelors in Business Administration from UAH and serves as a Director of Operations for Chick-fil-A in Irondale. His experience as a supporting partner and dad gives him a unique perspective on the need for a doula. When his wife approached him about hiring a doula for her pregnancy and birth, he was very much a skeptic. But after they went through the pregnancy and birth his mind was completely changed on the need for a doula.
