Find a Doula Near Me that Speaks American Sign Language

Greetings! I'm Lisa Marie and I am a birth, postpartum, and stillbirth doula proudly serving the Central Valley of California and beyond. Grounded in my indigenous roots, I bring a wealth of practices not commonly taught in Western medicine, providing women and families with unique, holistic options. I provide culturally sensitive support for the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) community, LGBT individuals, foster youth, adoptive families, and surrogate families. Alongside comprehensive birth and postpartum care, I also offer personalized placenta honoring services to enhance your birth experience, yoni steaming for reproductive health, and well-being sessions that are designed for reflection, growth, and empowerment during your pregnancy and postpartum moments. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

I've been married for more than 26 years, and my greatest joy in life is being a mom to my three wonderful children. When I'm not spending time with my family, you'll most likely find me cooking for the people I love, curled up with a good book, going for a run or walk (on a good day!), or finding ways to encourage and support young families. Home-cooked meals and great big hugs are definitely my love languages or at least the way I most naturally show people they're cared for. I've always been a "baby person." For more than 30 years, I've had the privilege of working with children and families in one way or another. But it wasn't until I became a mother myself that my heart truly opened to what new parents experience. I remember so clearly what those early days felt like, the questions, the exhaustion, the joy, and the tenderness of it all. That experience grew my love for babies into a deep compassion for moms and dads as they navigate the beautiful and often overwhelming transition into parenthood. For more than eight years, I've had the joy and honor of serving families as a birth doula, and for over seven years as a postpartum doula. I'm also a Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula and a pediatric sleep consultant, which allows me to support families not only through birth but throughout those precious early weeks and months when everything feels so new.

I am a postpartum doula with a 5 years experience as well as a speech language pathologist

Hi, I'm Claudia! I believe every family deserves to feel informed, supported, and confident throughout their pregnancy and birth journey. My goal as your doula is to provide a calm, reassuring presence while helping you prepare for birth, navigate your options, and feel empowered to make the decisions that are right for you. My approach is rooted in preparation and collaboration. Together, we'll create a birth plan that reflects your goals, prepare questions for your healthcare providers, learn comfort techniques for labor, and build the confidence to adapt if birth doesn't go exactly as planned. During labor, I'll provide continuous emotional and physical support while helping ensure that your voice remains at the center of your birth experience. As a University of Pennsylvania graduate with a background in maternal-fetal medicine research, my approach is rooted in evidence-based care and collaboration. I deeply value working alongside physicians, nurses, and midwives, and I believe the best birth experiences come from a strong partnership between families, their healthcare team, and their doula. My role isn't to speak for you, it's to help you understand your options, communicate your preferences, and feel supported every step of the way.

I am the mother of 6. 5 biological and one adopted. Grandmother to one. I have attended over 400 births and taught hundreds of classes. I am most passionate about educating parents to make informed decisions about their births and be as ready as possible even if they have never given birth.

My birth and postpartum philosophy centers on deeply nurturing the mother as a whole—spiritually, physically, and emotionally—during one of the most transformative seasons of her life. I believe that when a mother is supported, seen, and cared for, she is better able to bond with and care for her baby. I approach each family with compassion, presence, and respect, honoring their unique journey and intuition. Physically, I provide gentle, practical support that promotes rest, recovery, and confidence. Emotionally, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where mothers can process their experiences and feel truly heard. Spiritually, I hold space for reflection, grounding, and connection, helping mothers feel rooted and empowered as they transition into this new chapter. My goal is to ensure no mother feels alone, but instead held, supported, and strengthened in mind, body, and spirit.

Hi! I’m Jodie. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, and a NICU-informed doula. I’m a certified perinatal meditation guide, sound healer, and prenatal yoga teacher, so I really love bringing calm, practical tools into the birth space. I teach a prenatal birth prep course and specialize in helping families use evidence-based coping tools, breathwork, and mindfulness to reduce stress and anxiety throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I’ve experienced inductions, epidurals, unmedicated labor, cesareans, and a NICU stay, between my births and my past clients, so I understand how different every journey can be. My husband and I have two daughters. They’re 6 and 1. Outside of doula work, I enjoy practicing music, learning Korean, crocheting, and unwinding with good movies, books, and music.

Hi! My name is Madison and I am here to support your birth and beyond, your way, because you are worthy of nothing but the best care. I wholeheartedly believe that each birther deserves an empowered birth and postpartum experience backed by quality education. Fostering a safe space, providing informed consent, and unbiased doula care is my highest priority. I am dedicated to supporting all individuals, including a special focus on marginalized communities. This includes, but is not limited to, queer, POC, and neurodivergent folx. I am here to support and celebrate your uniqueness, and how you choose to bring life into this world.

I'm a New Yorker of Caribbean descent, a tomboy at heart who loves hard, plays sports, and is creative. A former educator, I see pregnancy as sacred community work and my clients as family. My doula philosophy is rooted in radical presence, cultural humility, and Christ-centered service. I believe every birth deserves advocacy, informed choice, and a warm village wrapped around it. My intention is to create a safe, judgment-free space where families feel seen, heard, and held in their full stories, whether in joy, grief, or the in-between. I try to live out the Acts-church model, showing up, sharing life, and walking alongside families as I follow God's divine direction while continually learning and growing. I've been a doula for about five years and am now on my journey to become a midwife, carrying that same heart of service into clinical care. Serving the community is my daily bread; I get to serve God's children with my hands, my skills, and my presence, and that is what truly gives me life.

Hey, I’m Elliot. I’m a THW‑certified doula based in Portland, Oregon. I’ve always been drawn to supporting pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood, and I’m honored to walk alongside families during such a meaningful, transformative time. As a trans man, I also recognize how often queer people and their families are underrepresented and underserved in medical settings. My practice centers LGBT+ parents and is grounded in trauma‑informed, non‑judgmental care through a lens of reproductive justice—so birthing parents and their partners feel empowered to make informed decisions about their bodies and their care. I bring patience, calm, and genuine curiosity to every birth space. I’m a steady listener, an advocate when needed, and a gentle presence when quiet support is best. When I’m off‑call, you’ll find me making art, writing, cuddling my cats, or happily bumbling through a new videogame. If you’re seeking affirming support for your pregnancy and birth, I’d love to connect. I completed my initial training through Cornerstone Doula Trainings, and am fully THW certified through Mother Tree Birth. I've taken a cultural competency course -- including trauma informed care, interprofessional collaboration, and HIPAA training –, also through Mother Tree Birth; and I've also completed an Oral Health course and an adult/child CPR training course. I’m happy to provide documentation for all of the above, feel free to ask!

I support my families through encouragement, position changes, calming touch, breathing techniques, advocating and forming a bond with the birthing person and their family to help develop a comforting environment to birth in. Birth is an experience that can foster growth, strength and passion and I feel my purpose is to help every expectant parent I interact with to have a positive and empowering transition into parenthood.

Hi, my name is Chelsea Geraghty and I am a CAPPA Certified Postpartum Doula in Boulder, CO. I became inspired to become a Doula after having two children of my own and struggling through those difficult first 3 months, needing support I just did not know existed. Through the struggle there is also so much joy, and I hope to be the support person that eases you into the transition to parenthood. I offer a helping hand, education, a listening ear and helpful instruction without judgement. I also teach yoga a few times a week and would be happy to incorporate that into your care as appropriate in your healing journey. In my spare time I like to hike with my dogs, swim and play board games with my two kiddos and go camping with my family.
