Hi, I'm Moniqueca (Mo-Nee-Cuh), founder of This Is Love Work, a postpartum doula practice serving Chicago and surrounding areas. Since 2023, I’ve been supporting new families with childbirth education, labor prep, and recovery after birth, trained through Gifted Hands International as a Full Spectrum doula, with a background in community health and crisis support work.

I’m a Full Spectrum Doula, newborn care specialist, and boy mom. My infant care journey, trainings, and previous role as a nanny has allowed me to gain a plethora of knowledge about caring for both mothers and their newborns. It has also given me the privilege of supporting moms through the sleepless but undoubtedly euphoric times of the postpartum and newborn stages. I accomplish this by educating and encouraging my families while also providing evidence based care and comfort to their newborn. I know this is an immensely delicate time for every family but its my delight to help transition from womb to room.

Hey everyone! My name is Andrea and I am a birth doula serving the Tampa Bay area and surrounding communities. I came to birth work through my own pregnancy, and what I discovered changed everything. Our bodies are not just capable of birth — they are magnificently designed for it. Every contraction, every breath, every moment of labor is part of a beautifully orchestrated process that women have carried within them since the beginning of time. I believe with my whole heart that birth can and should be a powerful, peaceful, and deeply fulfilling experience. As your doula, my role is to meet you exactly where you are and walk with you every step of the way — from your first prenatal conversation to your first moments as a mother. I bring evidence-based knowledge and genuine advocacy to every birth, so that you feel informed, heard, and empowered to make the choices that are right for you and your baby. My philosophy is rooted in one truth: your body is divine, beautifully made, and fully equipped. My job is simply to remind you of that when you need it most.

I’m Seyi. I have over 15 years of childcare experience in a variety of settings such as a babysitter, nanny, teacher, and now birth and postpartum doula. I am passionate about the field of birth work. After witnessing and hearing about many of the difficulties and abuse of power in hospital settings, my passion for helping people navigate these settings was ignited. It is impossible to guarantee a “perfect birth” but I believe that you should have the opportunity to be prepared for whatever may or may not happen. This includes being aware of medical interventions, having the best people for you in your birthing space, establishing and enforcing necessary boundaries, and ultimately doing the best for you! Childbirth is a beautiful process that is both natural and spiritual.

Hi, I’m Melanie Powell—certified doula, childbirth educator, author of From Fear to First Cry, and the founder of both Little Flower Birth Services and the non-profit Under His Wings Collective. As a mother myself, I know firsthand that bringing a child into the world is one of the most profound, transformative journeys you will ever take. But I also know it can bring up deep questions, past fears, and medical anxieties. That is why my life’s work is dedicated to walking beside women and their partners, ensuring you never have to navigate the medical landscape alone. Through Little Flower Birth Services, my practice is rooted in three core pillars: Advocacy to help your partner step into their role as your protector, Sanctuary to guard your peace with a protective "Baby Bubble," and Autonomy to honor your God-given intuition through a trauma-informed framework. Whether I'm teaching evidence-based physiological birth classes, coaching partners in our signature advocacy workshops, or offering quiet, steadfast support in the delivery room, my goal is to transform your anxieties into your greatest strengths. Beyond my private practice, my heart for community led me to establish Under His Wings Collective—a non-profit initiative dedicated to expanding access to sliding-scale and free childbirth education, alongside trauma-informed virtual doula support (such as our Virtual Bloom Package) for Medicaid-eligible, low-income, and high-anxiety mothers who deserve dedicated care regardless of circumstance. When I’m not supporting families across the DFW Metroplex, leading virtual education cohorts, or advocating through the collective, you can usually find me baking something nourishing for loved ones or cherishing quiet moments with my daughter. You deserve to enter your birth room feeling strong, informed, and deeply supported. I would be honored to walk this sacred journey with you.
