Justine Reina

Hey New Friend I’m Justine, your new friend, your cheerleader, your support, and your added strength from your Baby Bump, Beyond Birth journey. You’ll find me filling many roles as a wife, mother of 3, early childhood enthusiast, and dedicated doula that loves photographing cherished moments throughout Central Florida. Some say a doula is a luxury, however for many it’s a necessity! I became a doula because I realized how many women/birthing persons are without support or a village to help them through what could be the most beautiful yet scariest time of their life. At Baby Bumps, Beyond Birth, we believe that every individual deserves a birth experience that honors their autonomy, dignity, and unique story. We are dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care that nurtures the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. Through education, compassion, and individualized support, my mission is to support and uplift birthing individuals and their families, fostering a safe, informed, and empowered experience from pregnancy to parenthood.

Justine's ability to listen and provide support is unmatched. She also understands that each birth and experience is different, which allows her to adjust to meet the special needs of each mom. I would recommend Justine as a Doula to any mom who needs support and advocacy on their journey to motherhood. I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future to handle my birth needs.

I believe that childbirth is very intense, hard work, but is not designed to be traumatic, that children are a blessing from the Lord, and in most cases, the discomfort that comes with the WORK of childbirth can be managed well through mental, emotional, physical and spiritual conditioning to promote a smoother transition from the womb to the world.. It is my pleasure to teach and guide parents how to do just that.

"I recently had the privilege of working with an exceptional doula, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first consultation, she made me feel seen, heard, and completely supported. She took the time to understand my birth preferences, my concerns, and my family’s needs, and she never imposed an agenda—only offered compassionate guidance and evidence-based information that helped me make confident, informed choices. During the prenatal period, she checked in regularly and provided thoughtfully organized resources on everything from birth positions and comfort measures to hospital/birthing center procedures and newborn care. She led us through practical exercises, helped me build a flexible birth plan, and involved my partner every step of the way so we felt like a strong, united team. Her communication was outstanding—prompt, clear, and reassuring—and she was consistently available to answer questions, calm anxieties, and offer realistic, nonjudgmental support. When labor began, she arrived quickly and brought an immediate sense of calm to the room. She guided my breathing, provided affirmation, suggested position changes that truly made a difference, used massage and counterpressure with remarkable intuition, and transformed the environment with simple touches that made me feel safe and focused. She advocated respectfully for my preferences with birthing center staff, encouraged me when I wavered, and helped my partner feel confident and actively involved. Even when plans shifted, she adapted with grace and kept us grounded, ensuring that I felt fully in control of my choices throughout. Her postpartum care was equally outstanding. She checked in frequently, helped us process the birth experience, and offered gentle, practical support for recovery. She provided hands-on guidance with breastfeeding, recommended community resources, and normalized the emotional ups and downs of the early days. She treated our family with deep respect and cultural sensitivity, always honoring our values and boundaries. In every interaction, she was professional, knowledgeable, and deeply kind. Her presence turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one that felt empowering, supported, and even beautiful. If you’re looking for a doula who combines skill, heart, and unwavering advocacy, look no further—she is truly exceptional."

Strength in Serenity is the embodiment and the symbol of the ceremonial rite of passage that occurs during the birthing moment. I started Strength in Serenity in September 2025. As a part of my spiritual journey, I knew I had to be of service to fulfill my purpose and being a Doula resonated with my soul. As a Doula I will be providing emotional, physical, and informational support that will be deeply satisfying and rewarding. As a Doula I feel that not only will I be fulfilling my souls’ purpose, but I will also be able to give back to the community as well. Truly a Blessing!

Catherine Hallsten

3 years of experience

Hello! My name is Catherine. I’m a mom to four boys and I’m a Christian birth doula and birth photographer. I became passionate about the process of physiological birth after I had my first homebirth with my third son…it was the first time I truly felt empowered during the birth process and now I want every mother to be able to experience that same feeling! (no matter where she births!) I believe as women we have everything we need to give birth already inside of us but that we don’t have to do this alone! I’m here to hold your hand, remind you of how strong you are and celebrate with you when the hard part is over! I would be honored to be a part of your journey. The way I serve and support women as a doula is best described as “birth bestie” or “birth sister.” I want to truly get to know you (because the better I know you the better I can support you!) and hear all your dreams and desires for birth. I offer a listening ear and a calming presence for anything you might need to work through or discuss throughout your pregnancy journey. If any of this sounds good to you, let’s go grab coffee and chat about all the birth-y things! ☕️ https://msha.ke/jubilantbirth www.instagram.com/jubilant.birth

My husband and I were very grateful to have Catherine’s expertise, genuine care, and consistent support as we became first time parents. At the birth of our daughter there were many times that made me question my ability to continue through a slow progressing labor but Catherine’s support and calm was the fuel I needed to face another contraction. Having her as my doula was the best decision!

Ruth-Ann Grant

Hello guys! My name is Ruth-Ann Grant. I'm a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula. I'll be servicing the Central Florida area. I'm excited to be on this new journey. My hope is to help mom's feel seen, heard, and cared for. My background is being a massage therapist. I have over 5 years of experience with not just relaxing the body but the mind. That experience helps me be a better listener, nurturer and safe space. I'm excited to be able to add that knowledge to helping my future moms.

As a third time c section mom and the first time postpartum doula customer I’m over the moon with the service Ruth-Ann provided. She treated me like family from the first encounter. Her attention to detail and thought provoking questions helped guide me through the recovery process and I learned from her wealth of knowledge. She helped me to have a new perspective of the assistance I might need this time around that I didn’t think of. This is my third child and my third c section, this recovery would not have been as smooth, positive and comfortable without Ruth-Ann.

Womb and Wonder Doula Services

Hello! I am a certified birth doula and certified lactation counselor. Previous to obtaining my certifications, I was a nanny for 6 years and have had a wide variety of experience with babies/children whilst helping families! I am also a mom to 1, a mom who prioritizes holistic health/ wellness, and have a passion for all things mama & baby. My job is to take care of you while you do one of the most amazing things on earth- bring love and life into this world. I look forward to hearing from any mamas who are looking for extra hands on support throughout their pregnancy, birth, and/or breastfeeding journey.

If you are looking for a doula, look no further. I don’t have enough words to describe how incredible Anjolie was throughout my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum journey. My husband and I were initially on the fence about hiring a doula because of the amount of information available on social media. We thought we could “be our own doula,” but looking back, I know with certainty that I would not have achieved my goal of an unmedicated birth without Anjolie’s support. There is no way we could have made it through a 30+ hour unmedicated labor without her. Anjolie is clearly called by the Lord to support women through one of the most beautiful experiences of their lives. She was always available to answer questions, full of wisdom and guidance during moments of anxiety or unexpected challenges, and always placed prayer at the center of her care. During the most intense moments of labor, her calm presence and steady voice helped me cope with each contraction. She was incredibly resourceful with positions and techniques to help manage labor discomfort and assured me that my doctors and nurses were respecting my birth plan. Even now, postpartum, Anjolie continues to check in, offering support and answering questions. We would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and faith-based doula.

We are so grateful for Melanie. From the beginning she made us feel calm, prepared, and truly cared for.

During labor and postpartum she was incredibly attentive, patient, and supportive. Her presence helped us feel confident and safe, and she went above and beyond to make sure both myself and baby were doing well. Having her by our side made this experience so much more positive and special. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated doula.

Ruth Wallace-Williams

32 years of experience

Ruth, originally from Jamaica, is a dedicated professional working in her community to directly impact the lives of young children and their families. She is a G. R. O. W trained doula extending her expertise as a traveling doula across central Florida. With a comprehensive skill set, Ruth provides invaluable support to create a positive prenatal experience where her clients feel seen and empowered. Ruth’s naturally calming presence, unique ability to blend emotional and physical support with practical advice, empathy and kindness is why she’s known as a “Soul Rebel for Serenity”. Ruth has a deep commitment to inclusion ensuring no birthing person feels alone during the most profound, magical experience.

Where do I begin…… If there’s one thing The Most High will do is cover HIS daughters I must say I couldn’t have asked for a better doula. I didn’t expect I was going to actually obtain a doula so last minute (8 months) within my pregnancy but also one that understood my birth plan. Ruth made it her business to support me in my boundaries set for medical care when possible changes had arised within the delivery. She is beyond helpful and knowledgeable in this field of care and made me feel comfortable and confident to bring in my first born son with her unconditional support. Never would I have imagined her to be able to be there for the 36 hrs of delivery but she was intentionally in ensuring my bonus daughter was tended to throughout those hours and I was cared for properly following within delivery and following his birth. Although the staff within hospital were very unbecoming with Ruth and the support of my family I couldn’t have asked for a better birth experience and it’s genuinely was because of her attentiveness to my care and the care of my son without any hesitation to tell staff what I needed when I needed it. I pray for every birth of my children in future in able to have her there to support me. Much love and respect for her purpose in this difficult field of care. I would recommend her 1000% over and over again. Ruth is a phenomenal woman and I’m so beyond thankful I was able share my birth experience with her ♥️

Sarah Doyle

Hi, I'm Sarah. I've been a doula since 2017 and offer childbirth classes, prenatal yoga classes, birth support, lactation counseling, and day and nighttime postpartum care to families in the greater Orlando area. I'm also a mom to twins and trust me - I get it! I believe the birthing person should be at the center of decision making, starting with learning their options, receiving physical and emotional support throughout labor, and then being surrounded by helping hands and listening ears after welcoming baby home.

Wonderful doula! So important, especially as a first time mom, to have someone to ask questions, talk things through and be by your side in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Carla Raymond

11 years of experience

Hi there, My name is Carla and my motto is: be who you needed when you were in need. I have passionately served as a doula for others for years, without even knowing that this profession existed. I believe that doulas are angels created to care for women while they showcase their superpowers and fulfilling the most important mission yet. I've had the honor to carry a little human earth side myself. However, my birth story was not what I had wished for. I can proudly say that becoming a doula is my way of living by my motto. My dream is to assist and care for as many women (and their families) as possible before, during, and after birth.

I am so grateful for the incredible support I received from Carla Raymond. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable, informed, and truly cared for. She was patient in answering all my questions, calming during moments of anxiety, and a strong advocate when I needed one. Her presence during my pregnancy and birth gave me confidence and peace of mind. What stood out most was her compassion, professionalism, and the way she tailored her care to my needs and preferences. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend her to any expecting parent who wants both emotional and physical support throughout their journey. Love

Rachel Crawford

Hi, I’m Rachel—the heart behind Renewed Birth Company 🤍 I’m a birth doula, educator, and VBAC mom passionate about helping women feel informed, supported, and confident in their birth journey. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or hoping for a different experience after a cesarean, my goal is to walk alongside you with education, encouragement, and steady support. You deserve to feel heard, prepared, and never alone in your birth.

Rachael provided exceptional support and care throughout my experience, and I will definitely choose her for all future births. As a first-time mother planning an at-home birth, I appreciated her presence during my 42-hour labor, during which she remained by my side the entire time, even while pregnant herself. Rachael took the time to build a meaningful connection with me throughout my pregnancy, including following up with visits to check on us after the birth. As my due date approached, she ensured consistent communication and support. Rachael is one of the most compassionate, attentive, and knowledgeable professionals I have ever known. When my baby needed assistance repositioning herself, she tried every possible method she knew. She also took the time to explain medical information, options, and potential outcomes to me, which was invaluable. I genuinely believe that without Rachael’s presence, I would have become overwhelmed. Her calm demeanor and unwavering support made all the difference, and I am very grateful for her. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring and experienced birth professional

Leenoshka was absolutely amazing as my doula! She came to my house and help me understand in a detailed manor the steps and the things that go into labor, and breastfeeding. When I went into labor and called her at 4am she answered and kept in touch until it was really go time and she came over. She helped the whole time, being in labor was not easy but all the tools she brought and her knowledge helped out so much. I was able to be in labor for only 40 hours, and I kept progressing and was able to do it naturally. Definitely do not know what I would have done without her. She also helped me with latching baby girl on which I absolutely appreciate!
