Amissa was my doula for my first and only birth and she was INCREDIBLE. She's super knowledgable, kind, and considerate of what you need throughout your pregnancy and birthing journey. I felt very nervous about not knowing anything and once I connected with Amissa I felt way more educated and prepared for my expectations and knowing my rights in the delivery room. She advocated for me and empowered me to advocate for myself. I would absolutely recommend Amissa to anyone seeking a doula's support for their birth.

We are so beyond grateful for Shannon and everything she did for our family. From the moment she came into our home, she brought such a calm, supportive energy. She was incredibly gentle and loving with our daughter someone we could trust completely, which gave us so much peace of mind during those early, exhausting nights. Shannon didn’t just care for our baby, she cared for our whole home. She helped tremendously with things like folding laundry, washing bottles and breast pump parts, and stepping in wherever we needed always without hesitation. She never tried to correct us or question our choices, and that made such a difference. We always felt supported, never judged. It truly felt like having an extra heart and pair of hands in the house. Shannon will always hold a special place in our story, and I can’t recommend her enough to any new family looking for kind, trustworthy, and genuinely helpful support during those tender first nights. She’s truly one of a kind.

Hello friends! I have been doula-ing the Pacific Northwest since 2010 and am excited to bring my services to Tucson. As someone who has attended over 600 births, 56 post partum families and is a mother myself, I understand that every birth and family is unique and needs should be tailored to my clients personal goals. As a birth and postpartum doula trained in Ayurvedic traditions, I like to bring a holistic approach to my caregiving. Not only do my clients receive education around health and wellness in pregnancy, belly mapping for labor moves and partner centered coping techniques, they also get the pamper they deserve in post partum with massage and various broths for healing.

Ryah Jo is a treasure!! After a difficult labor and delivery, we knew we needed help. At first, I was a little hesitant when considering hiring a postpartum doula. But, after our initial zoom, my worries were quickly put to ease. Ryah was extremely patient and thorough, answering any and all questions while addressing concerns. She is knowledgeable and professional, but also has a lovely, calm, warm and friendly disposition. I was nervous on our first overnight, however, Ryah was such a gentle nurturing presence…a real natural with babies and an absolute blessing for us sleep-deprived parents!! Everything was logged, bottles were washed, laundry was folded—she even had breakfast waiting for me😇 Ryah helped my recovery go so much easier, even offering up tips and tricks making our parenting transition go so much more smoothly than expected! It went so well in fact, that we decided to hire her on for bi-weekly overnights. We were able to get the rest and support we needed while feeling peace of mind knowing our baby was in the best hands and was receiving the safest, most compassionate, loving care.

My experience with Taylor was very unique to sum it up in one word<3 Taylor was my original doulas back up for the back up doula. I had a LONG intense labor and by the time we were ready to go to the hospital and have baby Taylor was our doula. Going from never meeting her to having her apart of the most important and vulnerable thing in our lives and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Taylor and I clicked instantly. She was so helpful and was very knowledgable. She helped me feel comfortable, confident, and helped me find my voice when it came to having the birth I wanted. She will definitely be our number one choice for doulas when it comes to having another baby. We will always love Taylor!

I’m a single mother navigating the rewarding and challenging journey of raising an adventurous young boy. My life is a blend of nurturing a curious and growing child while indulging in my passions and interests. For many years, I’ve been deeply immersed in the food industry, managing a beloved family-owned Mexican restaurant that was started by my grandparents in 1964. This restaurant has been a cornerstone of our family and community, and my work there has not only shaped my professional life but also my personal identity. Running the restaurant has been a labor of love, connecting me to my heritage and allowing me to share our family’s culinary traditions with others. Cooking remains a significant part of my life, whether it's preparing meals at home or experimenting with new recipes. I find joy in exploring new culinary experiences and discovering new flavors, both in my own kitchen and through dining out at different restaurants. Traveling to foreign countries is another passion of mine, as it offers a chance to immerse myself in different cultures, gain fresh perspectives, and experience the world from new angles. Nature is my sanctuary, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether I’m hiking through scenic trails or simply enjoying the outdoors, I cherish the connection with nature and the tranquility it brings. My Philosophy Central to my philosophy is the belief that no woman is ever truly alone in her journey. As a mother and a professional, I embrace the idea that support, solidarity, and shared experiences among women are powerful forces that uplift and strengthen us. Whether through the bonds we forge in our personal lives or the communities we build in our professional endeavors, the connections we make are vital. I am committed to fostering these connections and drawing strength from the collective wisdom and support of the women around me. In addition to my work in the food industry, I am a certified prenatal doula. These roles allow me to provide comprehensive support to families during one of the most transformative times in their lives. My certifications reflect my dedication to helping others navigate their birthing journeys with confidence and care. Balancing motherhood with my professional and personal interests, I strive to create a fulfilling and vibrant life for both myself and my son. My experiences in the food industry, coupled with my passion for travel, nature, and my work as a doula , shape a life filled with creativity, exploration, and deep familial bonds.

I'm Teresa Estilow, an inclusive postpartum doula and Dare to Birth childbirth educator supporting the Phoenix and East Valley areas. As a parent who experienced my own challenges with my postpartum journeys, I was inspired to provide access to compassionate and empathetic support to new and again parent's in their 4th-trimester journeys.

Recent review

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from Teresa during my postpartum journey. From the moment she entered our home, it was clear that her presence would be transformative for both me and my son. Teresa has a remarkable ability to listen and attune herself to the needs of new parents. She not only provided practical help but also offered emotional support that made a world of difference during a challenging time. Her insights were spot on; she picked up on things I didn’t even know I needed. Whether it was tips on baby care, advice on self-care, or just a comforting presence to talk to, she was always there, ready to help. What truly set Teresa apart was her intuition and understanding. She became an integral part of our family, fostering a sense of calm and reassurance. Her warm demeanor and genuine care made the transition into motherhood so much smoother. I wholeheartedly recommend Teresa to any new parent. She brings not only knowledge and experience but also a nurturing spirit that truly enriches the postpartum experience. Thank you for everything—you have made a lasting impact on our family!

My desire is to quietly and gently come alongside parents as you welcome your newborn into your families. I can provide emotional support to assist with the transitions of the postpartum period and having a new baby. Encouragement, a listening ear and practical help in your home will be offered. I’ll hold your baby so that you can bathe and/or rest, be a safe person you can share your concerns with and offer informational support - all in a judgment-free loving manner. A comforting meal, changing your sheets and doing some laundry are a few of the ways I can help you. My hope is that the care I give feels much like a professional grandma or Loli.

Recent review

Did we hire the real Mary Poppins? It sure felt that way when Lori came to help after our daughter was born. Lori was so kind and considerate and knowledgeable that we had no trouble at all trusting her to take care of our little one in these sleep-deprived early days. Not only did Lori make sure I got the sleep I needed, she also gave us advice and assistance with any questions we had about best practices and ways to soothe our baby when she was having some feeding issues. Lori also cooked and cleaned and organized like magic every day she was here. It helped tremendously to have hot meals to eat and leftovers to heat up when I needed that kind of support. The biggest downside is that once she's there, you'll never want her to leave! I couldn't recommend Lori enough for anyone who needs help with their baby.

Hello....My name is Kelly Sunshine and I have been a birth doula for over 12 years supporting more than 1150 births in the Phoenix Metro area. I work with clients delivering in any hospital, birth center or home environment. In the hospital setting I work well with health care providers and feel that I walk that fine line between respecting the hospital staff and their regulations and yet still help my mamas have the birth of their dreams. With a little hard work, patience and showing respect we can achieve the birth you desire....while still in a hospital setting! I have wonderful recommendations for both OB providers, midwifes and natural friendly hospitals in the valley. I also work with many of the local home birth midwifes and know that having a doula even in a home birth setting is so valuable. Please reach out to see if myself or one of the other doulas on our team are a good fit for you!

Recent review

I would give Kelly all the stars in the world, she took me on as a client 2 weeks before my due date even though she was completely booked up. She made my birth experience for my husband and I such a blessing and I would have NEVER been able to go unmedicated without her. Laboring at home and knowing when to go to the hospital, helping with different laboring positions to her helping me apply counter pressure on my back during contractions and telling me I can do this when I wanted to give up were only a few ways she helped me through my labor. We love you Kelly!! Highly recommend - The Rubinos

About Me Hi, I’m Alyssa, and I founded Sonoran Sunrise Newborn Care in 2024 to help families thrive in the weeks after their baby is born. I have been working with children in their homes since 2016, including those with complex behavioral and medical needs, and since 2022 I’ve specialized in caring for infants and toddlers. In 2024 I completed trainings with Newborn Care Solutions and Newborn IQ, and I’m also proud to hold advanced certification from the US Nanny Institute, earned in 2021. I’m continually expanding my education and experience so that I can provide the best care possible. My focus is on coaching parents in newborn care and helping babies establish healthy sleep. I am there to help guide parents and help them feel confident, as well as to support them through overnights so that they can be well-rested.

Alyssa came into my life when I was suffering from severe PPA/PPD. My infant daughter had an incredibly hard first few months of life -- from tongue ties, to reflux, a formula shortage and eventually a feeding aversion. Alyssa was always so patient and gentle with her, on top of being a comforting presence to me as well. She was extremely resourceful and educated in guiding me to make informed decisions about my daughter's health and care. Alyssa is nurturing, soft and extremely detail-oriented. My daughter required quite a bit of specific care, including oral exercises, various medications, etc. She was always diligent and handled my daughter with as much love/delicacy as I would. I truly believe that she not only cared for my daughter, but me as well. As a FTM, I was extremely anxious and uninformed. She never made me feel judged and would go above and beyond if I ever had any specific requests or questions. I extended with Alyssa as much as I possibly could, but unfortunately have to move out of state. Any family who has the opportunity to work with her is insurmountably lucky.

I believe that every family deserves unwavering support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Allowing me to become part of your tribe ensures that you will receive an abundance of compassion and respect as you birth and parent with confidence. I offer labor and postpartum support, as well as placenta encapsulation + tinctures.

Ashley was instrumental in assisting with my wife’s birth. Ashely is incredibly personable, empathetic, punctual and knowledgeable. Ashley’s confidence throughout the entire process instilled confidence in me to be there for my wife during such a traumatic birth. If you want someone in your corner advocating for your family, Ashely is the one for you. After my wife delivered our baby I immediately was so caught up in the moment that I didn’t take any photos. Thankfully, Ashley quietly captured photos of me holding our newborn during the golden hour allowing me to be fully present and soak in the moment. These photos, as well as Ashley’s hard work, are moments I will cherish forever. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else; thank you so much Ashley!!
