Cheyenne Varner is a doula, designer, photographer, and writer in Richmond, Virginia.Born in California, raised in New Jersey, and transplanted to coastal Virginia in the midst of high school, Cheyenne didn't hit the Richmond scene until 2009, to attend the University of Richmond. There, she created the interdisciplinary major Educational Activism in the Arts — a mix of courses in Sociology, Rhetoric and Communications, Education, and Theater — and minored in Creative Writing.
Today, Cheyenne is a freelancer and a certified professional birth doula, trained by toLabor, Ancient Song, and Doula Trainings International (DTI) and certified by DTI.

Her passion for all things creative leads her to pursue projects of the design, photography, and writing variety.
Whether solo, or collaboratively, Cheyenne seeks to pursue all of her work with excellence, authenticity, and grace.
My role supporting people through pregnancy + birth never looks quite the same, because no person or family is the same. Even when I work with the same person twice — it's never the same as the last time!
That said, I provide all my clients a strong foundation in education. When we're well-informed, we become more active, confident participants in our care. And that makes our care better.
And on the big day, I bring a calm, thoughtful presence into the spaces I share with my clients, anchored in many hours of me getting to know you and you getting to know me.
