Hi, I’m Marlene, a certified postpartum doula based in Chicago with over 15 years of experience supporting children and families. My professional journey began in childcare, where I gained extensive hands on experience through babysitting, professional nannying, international au pair work, and early childhood education. As my experience and passion for supporting families grew, I transitioned that strong foundation into postpartum and newborn care. Today, I bring the knowledge and perspective gained throughout my career into my postpartum doula practice, supporting families as they adjust to life with a new baby. I am DONA trained, certified through Birth and Baby University’s cross training program, CPR and First Aid certified, NICU trained, and currently pursuing a Holistic Infant Sleep Certification. Raised in Mexico, where caring for new mothers is often a shared community responsibility, I bring warmth, reassurance, heart, and compassionate support to every family I work with.

I began my career as a birth professional in 2013 as a registered nurse, specializing in Labor & Delivery. I am also a certified doula and home birth midwife. I have worked as a travel nurse in different states, which has allowed me to learn a variety of useful methods and introduce them where beneficial to my birthing moms. It has been my pleasure to work with families of diverse backgrounds, helping them welcome their new baby into the world and fulfill their best possible pregnancy & birth experience. I enjoy working with women who labor with or without epidurals assisting them with massage, positioning, and breathing techniques to achieve a calming labor experience. I have attended over 2,000 births including water birth and cesarean deliveries. I completed my training and certification as a birth and bereavement doula through both the DONA International and Stillbirthday (bereavement) programs. I have also obtained certification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) to assist women in their breastfeeding goals. As a Chocolate Milk Cafe facilitator I hold monthly meetings to provide Black women and their families with breastfeeding support and resources. I have received training as an Evidence Based Birth Instructor through Evidence Based Birth. Additionally, I have completed training to become a fertility and pregnancy and infant loss (PAIL) advocate. As a registered nurse I hold certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Basic Life Support (BLS), Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), AWOHNN Fetal Monitoring (Intermediate & Advanced), and Safe Sleep. My goal is to help educate mothers and families to be as prepared as possible for the childbirth experience and help them to adjust thereafter. I offer hands-on support, as well as help mom understand each step of the labor/birth process so she may better voice her desires to her provider (MD/CNM). I am very open and willing to answer mom/family questions and address any expressed concerns. Sharing the birthing process and miracle of life is my passion. I know that the birthing process can be very overwhelming and my focus is to help diminish any sense of fear and replace it with knowledge and empowerment.

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, and DONA international member. I am also certified as a full-spectrum doula with StillBirthday and have experience providing support during loss. I am a board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and offer home visits for breastfeeding help. I am also a certified childbirth educator offering private classes to clients. I have a bachelor’s degree in human and child development. I am passionate about taking care of families, especially during pivotal life experiences such as bringing a child into the world. I draw on my education and training as well as my personal experience of having 4 children of my own. As a doula, I am here to support and empower you so you can enjoy your birth by reducing fear and trusting your body's ability to give birth. As a trauma-informed doula, I strive to help limit the occurrence of stress and trauma during birth, and seek to help my clients heal from past trauma. I am also passionate about helping birthing individuals feel empowered and I enjoy helping them achieve their breastfeeding goals with evidence based practices and compassionate help.

I'm a former licensed teacher that followed my passion to change my 17 year side job of childbirth education and birth doula work into a full time career. It started with earning my credentials as a childbirth educator from the Seattle Midwifery School and teaching in Portland area hospitals but morphed into doing birth doula work as people I met invited me to be part of their births. I like to say I fell into birth doula work unintentionally, but it ignited a passion to do it all that I could (while raising young children, teaching kindergarten part time, and teaching childbirth prep. WHEW! Those were busy years!) Fast forward to 2022, when I became an empty nester (letting both my scientist and my opera singing daughters fly!) and made the decision to leave the classroom and pursue birth doula work and childbirth education. I hold a Masters Degree in curriculum and instruction, so helping birthing people and their support team learn about birth is a natural and easy process for me. Once I decided to do birth work full time, I pursed further education as a birth doula (which was a review of a TINY part that I learned through childbirth educator training, LOL!) and became DONA certified as a birth doula. Through the years I have been lucky to experience a wide variety of births: medicated, unmedicated, planned and unplanned cesarean, VBAC, and so much more. I have years of experience helping those that birth, with or without neurodivergence and other challenges, find their way to empowerment and joy, no matter how their birth journey unfolds. I pull from a wide range of tools, tricks, and methods to provide what YOU would like your birth to look, sound, and feel like. From Hypnobirthing, breathing, crafting the ideal birthing environment to Spinning babies, position work, and comfort measures (comforting touch, using water & heat, leveraging pleasure for more oxytocin), I actively pursue discovering YOUR magic combination for reduced discomfort, labor length, and stress. I keep the birth space calm, safe, easy-going, compassionate, and positive, so that you can enter parenthood empowered and joyful. I provide individualized education, encouragement, and planning prior to labor, and support during the birth process to take the pressure and stress off of you and your labor support though an experience that can have a bazillion variables and may be alien to you. I keep it simple and as stress free as I possibly can so that you can be fully present and enjoy your prenatal, birth, and postpartum experience.

Hello and congrats! I'm Gina Valo, a certified labor doula (Childbirth International and ProDoula) and the founder of BirthingKind. My role as a doula is to make sure you have access to the information, resources, and support you need to feel comfortable and confident throughout your pregnancy and birth experience. Our philosophy is simple: Your Body. Your Baby. Your Birth. My practice is rooted in evidence-based information, which serves as critical foundation for informed decision-making. I lean heavily on my academic and professional background in healthcare data to stay up to date on the latest research in maternal health. Before becoming a doula I worked as a healthcare technology executive and White House Presidential Innovation Fellow at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. I earned a Master of Management in Clinical Informatics from the Duke University School of Medicine and a B.A. in Organizational Studies from the University of Michigan. I like to balance research and data with a healthy dose of empathy and emotional intelligence so that we can arrive at decisions that work best for you. I would love the opportunity to meet you and see if we’re a fit.

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.

Welcome! My name is Holly Arroyo. I am a certified birth doula (AWWS 2023), NRP (neonatal resuscitation) certified (2025), BLS (basic life support) certified (2026) serving families in the Treasure Valley of Idaho. I am a Bible-believing Jesus follower and I believe that God can use birth to glorify Himself and deepen our faith. I felt called to serving long before I had children, but specifically to the birth world after having my own babies. I have three beautiful children and all three of their births were wildly different. My first baby came into the world via c-section due to being in a frank breech position (head up, bum down). After a failed ECV (external cephalic version) where the doctor attempted to manually flip my baby, a scheduled c-section was recommended. My second baby was an induction and a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). My third baby was my first out-of-hospital and unmedicated birth-and it was a FAST labor! Although I wish I had a doula for my first baby, I did have an incredible nurse with my second baby (who happened to be a doula for many years prior). She made all the difference for me during that labor and her support was invaluable to me and my husband. My desire is to not only serve other mamas in a similar way, but to be that support that I wish I had from the beginning. Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can be such unpredictable, challenging, and vulnerable seasons and it’s vital to have someone come alongside you to educate, support, and teach you how to advocate for your needs, desires, and the needs of your baby. Having a doula on your birth team is like having a built-in friend and coach all in one. Your doula works for YOU-not your provider or the hospital. Pregnancy, birth, and motherhood is a journey-and I would be honored to come alongside you during yours as your doula!

Safety, support and compassion are the keys to healthy birthing. As a somatic birth practitioner with over 16 years of experience as a Full Spectrum Doula I am honored to hold this loving space for you and this beautiful gift you are bringing into the world.

Hello family, my name is Natasha Barros and I'm a full spectrum Doula, which means I can support your prenatal, labor, postpartum and infant care needs. I love, love to educate. I'm resourceful and I find joy in sharing information that gives my mommas/families confidence in their journey. My passion is seeing people thrive in whichever way that looks for them. I love what I do and its not a job, but a calling. I've been a Doula for 4 years and have assisted in over 50 labors, and served many more families. I will travel by flight, if you need me too as well!

I have lived in Florida all my life. My happy place is by the ocean listening to the waves. I am married to my college sweetheart and we have 3 beautiful, wild boys. I became fascinated by the magic and mechanics of birth during my first pregnancy in 2013. I had an emergency c-section followed by medicated and unmedicated vaginal births in 2016 and 2019. For all three, I had the same doula by my side sharing her 30+ years of wisdom. In 2023, I formalized my training and certifications and have been focusing on doula work full-time. Aside from parenting my sons, it is my biggest privilege and joy to serve mothers in this vulnerable time, and I look forward to knowing and serving you during your journey. I strongly believe it is the right of the birthing person to choose whatever path is right for them. Every body, baby and pregnancy is different. If you choose me to be by your side, my promise is to help you and your partner bring that vision to life. Knowing birth can be unpredictable, I will do everything I can to ensure you feel safe, loved, empowered and strong every step of the way. I would love to talk with you about your wishes for your birth. Get in touch with me today to set up a free consultation.

Hey! I'm Nandi, and supporting families during their birthing journeys is not just my profession, it’s my calling. My passion for birth work stems from witnessing the strength and resilience of birthing people and my desire to create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered. I’ve had the honor of working as a doula in various settings, from hospitals like Wellstar to community-based programs like Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies, home-births and birth centers. Each experience has deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, personalized care that honors each family’s unique story. Here’s what you can expect when we work together: - Connection: I take the time to get to know you and your family, so I can support your physical, emotional, and informational needs. - Advocacy: Whether it's navigating hospital policies or exploring comfort techniques, I ensure you feel confident and supported every step of the way. - Holistic Care: As a certified yoga instructor specializing in prenatal yoga, I incorporate movement and mindfulness to help you feel calm and prepared. One of my most meaningful experiences was supporting women in recovery through Motherhood Beyond Bars, where I saw how vital nurturing care and a nonjudgmental presence can be. That philosophy guides me every day. I am trained as a Full Spectrum and Abortion Doula, so I can support you through any reproductive health journey with respect and compassion. Birth is unpredictable, but my goal is always the same: to help you feel empowered, informed, and cared for, no matter what. If you’re looking for a doula who will listen deeply, support you fully, and celebrate your strength, I’d love to connect with you.

Founder of Whispering Lullabies | Creator of the Sacred Sleep Method™ Namaste! I’m Tory Whitney, affectionately known as Ms. Tory—founder of Whispering Lullabies, creator of the Sacred Sleep Method™, and author of Sacred Sleep: A Gentle Nervous System Guide for Babies and Parents, available on Amazon. I am a birth and postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, infant sleep consultant, mindfulness and Hypnobabies educator, and spiritually intuitive counselor. I bring more than seven years of perinatal experience and over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience to every family I serve. I believe the journey to parenthood is a sacred event—one that deserves to be honored with compassion, intention, reverence, and genuine care. From pregnancy and birth through the tender transitions of postpartum life, welcoming a new life is a deeply personal and transformative experience. My role extends beyond caring for a baby. I am there to nurture, guide, and support the entire family as they navigate one of life's most meaningful transitions. Throughout my career, I have cultivated an exceptionally refined level of nurturing, emotional awareness, and intuitive attunement to the needs of babies and mothers. I understand that babies communicate long before they have words, and that truly understanding them requires more than responding to their cries. It requires patience, presence, careful observation, and the ability to recognize subtle changes in their behavior, body language, and emotional state. Through decades of hands-on caregiving, combined with my background in mindfulness and spiritually intuitive counseling, I have developed a heightened sensitivity to the unspoken needs of those in my care. I am often able to recognize early signs of overstimulation, discomfort, fatigue, or a need for connection before those needs become more pronounced. This intuitive awareness, supported by professional knowledge and experience, allows me to provide deeply individualized, responsive care. That same attentiveness extends to the mothers I support. I recognize that the journey into motherhood is not only physical but also deeply emotional and transformative. Sometimes a mother needs reassurance, encouragement, understanding, or simply someone who recognizes that she is overwhelmed before she finds the words to express it. I strive to be that calming, nurturing presence—someone who listens beyond words, respects her experience, and helps her feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. Although spiritual awareness and intuitive practices are part of my personal foundation, my approach is inclusive, nonjudgmental, and welcoming to families of all faiths, denominations, spiritual traditions, and personal beliefs. I honor each family's individual values, recognizing that meaningful care begins with mutual respect, trust, and genuine human connection. As a five-star provider, I believe exceptional care should be reflected in how I show up every day—with compassion, attentiveness, professionalism, and dependable support. Parents deserve peace of mind and should feel just as nurtured, understood, and supported as their babies. Sacred Sleep is more than my approach to infant sleep—it is the philosophy that guides all of my care. I believe babies and parents thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. Whether I am assisting during birth, caring for a newborn overnight, supporting postpartum recovery, or helping a family establish natural sleep rhythms, I begin with connection, nervous-system regulation, responsive care, and respect for each family's individual needs. I teach parents to prioritize their baby's cues over rigid schedules while considering feeding needs, growth, development, and guidance from their healthcare team. By observing each baby's temperament, feeding patterns, sensory needs, and family rhythm, I help parents understand the "why" behind their baby's behavior so they can make informed decisions with confidence. My approach brings together evidence-based newborn care, an understanding of infant physiology, mindfulness, intuitive attunement, and decades of practical caregiving experience. I offer calm, individualized, nonjudgmental support without cry-it-out or extinction methods. Rather than expecting babies to adapt to a predetermined system, I adapt my care to the unique baby and family in front of me. I believe true nurturing extends beyond meeting physical needs. It is about creating an environment where babies feel secure, mothers feel supported, and families develop the confidence to trust their instincts and strengthen their connection with one another. Through in-home, overnight, travel, and virtual support, my goal is to help families feel seen, informed, rested, and confident as they discover their own natural rhythm—one breath, one night, and one season at a time. At Whispering Lullabies, I believe the journey to parenthood is sacred, every baby deserves to be understood, and every parent deserves to be nurtured. Because caring for your baby also means caring for you.
