Amanda Souza Birth & Postpartum Doula in Rochester, NY
About Amanda
Hi, I'm Amanda Souza, a DONA-trained birth and postpartum doula based in Rochester, NY and the founder of Alma Sprout. Before becoming a doula I spent years as a professional nanny, so I bring real hands-on newborn experience into everything I do. I work with all kinds of families — I speak English and Portuguese, and I offer inclusive, affirming care for everyone. I offer birth support, daytime and overnight postpartum care, and newborn sleep guidance virtually across the US.

Roots & Rest - Virtual
Exhausted and not sure where to start with sleep? Roots & Rest is a personalized newborn sleep guidance program designed to help your family find a rhythm that actually works — without judgment and without rigid methods. We start with a 1 to 1.5 hour intake session where we review your baby's patterns and build a custom plan together. You then track sleep and wake times over 1 to 2 weeks via text or Apple Notes, and we meet 2 to 3 more times to adjust and refine. All sessions are virtual, available anywhere in the US.
What to expect
At Alma Sprout I offer four main services. For birth, I provide continuous labor and birth support through The Bloom — I stay with you from the moment you call me until after your baby arrives. For the postpartum period I offer daytime visits Monday through Friday to support your recovery, and overnight newborn care any night of the week so your whole family can actually sleep. And for families struggling with sleep patterns, Roots & Rest is my virtual newborn sleep guidance program — a flat-rate package with a personalized plan, daily monitoring, and follow-up sessions to adjust what isn't working. Everything starts with a free consultation.
