I can’t recommend Tanya enough as a doula! She was incredibly supportive, caring, and attentive throughout my entire birth experience, going above and beyond to make sure I felt prepared, supported, and empowered. Tanya provided helpful exercises and tools to prepare me for labor, offered both physical and emotional support throughout the birthing process, and helped me navigate the different stages of labor. She also translated and explained things with the medical team so I could better understand what was happening. Most importantly, she helped me stay focused on my birth preferences and advocated for me when I needed it most. She has such a warm and calming presence while also being confident and assertive when necessary. I had a challenging labor without an epidural, and Tanya’s physical and mental support made such a huge difference in helping me get through it. She helped me feel stronger, more grounded, and more confident throughout the experience. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side during such a meaningful and intense experience. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated doula who will truly go above and beyond for you, I wholeheartedly recommend Tanya!

I am a 28-year-old Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula from Brazil, with over 8 years of experience as a nanny and 2 years working as an NCS. I came to the USA as an au pair, which gave me the opportunity to develop a deep passion for newborn care. I am CPR certified, NCS certified, and I am currently working towards my postpartum doula certification. My skills include patience, feeding support, and sleep conditioning, all of which I have honed through my hands-on experience. I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care to both newborns and families, ensuring a supportive and nurturing environment. I believe that every newborn and family is unique, and my approach to care is rooted in patience, compassion, and evidence-based practices. My goal is to create a calm and nurturing environment where both baby and parents feel supported and confident. I prioritize gentle sleep conditioning, feeding support, and fostering healthy routines that work for each family’s needs. By continuously expanding my knowledge—such as pursuing my postpartum doula certification—I strive to provide the best care possible. I see my role not just as a caregiver, but as an educator and guide, helping families transition smoothly into their new chapter with their little one.

I can’t recommend Rafaela enough! She took care of my first baby during the night, and her help was truly invaluable. As a new mom, I was exhausted, and knowing that my little one was in such capable and loving hands allowed me to finally get some rest. Rafaela is incredibly gentle, patient, and knowledgeable—she has this calming presence that instantly put me at ease. She knew exactly what to do, whether it was soothing, feeding, or simply making sure my baby was comfortable and safe. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your newborn at night, Rafaela is amazing!

We highly, highly recommend Luciana! She was our night nanny for about 3.5 months and provided the best care and support for our baby. Being anxious first time parents with a baby just out of the NICU, Luciana somehow put us at such ease being in our home and taking care of our baby boy. Her love for our son was evident, and she was knowledgeable about so many different aspects of infant-hood. We learned so much from her, and we felt encouraged and supported by her throughout the newborn trenches. She has such a joy and a gift in working with babies. We continue to stay in touch and hope to continue to do so throughout the years.

Are you excited about birth, but overwhelmed by how much there is to learn, decide, and prepare for? Hi, I’m Perrin O’Malley, a birth doula and women’s health educator. I support women who care deeply about having a positive labor experience and don’t want to learn through trial and error. Together, we get ahead of labor by understanding your options, preparing for different outcomes, and building a plan that honors your dream birth while keeping you flexible for whatever unfolds. My approach is calm, confident, analytical, and deeply attuned to the emotional and physical experience of birth. I believe the mother is the center of the birth — her body, her values, her safety, and her voice lead the way. As a mother myself, and after speaking with over 100 mothers about what they wish they had known before birth, I help clients move from worried and fearful to supported, informed, and empowered.

Working with Perri as our labor doula was absolutely wonderful! Perri is passionate about women, birth, families, and her work in general. She was such a great wealth of knowledge while navigating pregnancy, creating a birth plan, during labor, and even post partum. Her calming presence and strong advocation was such an integral part of our story as we brought our son into the world and we are forever grateful to her ❤️

Krystal Gaudreau

Certification verified

Hi, I’m Krystal! Before anything else, I’m a mother of four, and motherhood has been one of the most beautiful, challenging, and defining parts of my life. I became a mother for the first time at just 19, then again at 22, 25, and most recently at 38. I’ve experienced motherhood through so many different seasons of life, and each one has taught me something new about love, patience, strength, and just how much a mother needs to be cared for, too. My passion for postpartum support comes from a very personal place. I know what it feels like to be completely in love with your baby while also feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and in need of someone to simply show up for you. I know what it’s like to keep going because everyone depends on you, even when you could use someone to lean on yourself. Those experiences stayed with me and ultimately inspired me to become a certified postpartum doula. I wanted to become the person I wish I’d had beside me during some of my own postpartum journeys. I don’t believe mothers should have to do everything, know everything, or pretend they have it all together. I believe in listening without judgment, respecting each family’s choices, and recognizing that sometimes the smallest gestures of support can mean the most. Whether that means holding your baby so you can shower, helping around the house, offering reassurance during a difficult moment, or simply sitting beside you and listening, I want you to feel genuinely cared for. My goal isn’t to tell you how to be a mother. It’s to remind you that you deserve care, compassion, and support while you find your own way. Because while everyone is excited to welcome a new baby, I believe we should be just as intentional about caring for the mother who brought that baby 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!

My time with Natasha was amazing, I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to have such an amazing doula throughout my pregnancy. From the very beginning, she was incredibly understanding, supportive, patient, and caring. She always made me feel heard and never judged me for anything I was feeling or going through. Pregnancy can be overwhelming, both physically and emotionally, and having someone who was there to listen, reassure me, and support me made such a huge difference. She was always willing to answer my questions, check in on me, and make sure I felt comfortable and supported every step of the way. She made me feel like I wasn’t going through everything alone, and I'm thankful for the support she gave me during such an important time in my life. I would absolutely recommend her to any expecting mom looking for someone who is compassionate, understanding, dependable, and genuinely cares about her clients. She was amazing throughout my pregnancy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better doula!

Responds within a few hours Accepts insurance

From an early age, Rophe was drawn to birth work and the beauty of the experience. Rophe is passionate about advocating for couples and giving them the education they need to make informed decisions to take charge of their births. She believes strongly in the beauty and strength of a women's body and its intended design for birth. Melissa’s earliest memory of delighting in the birth process was as a child visiting the Science Museum. She remembers watching videos, one of a mother dancing in her labor room, another surrounded by her young family, while another escaped into a birthing pool to focus inwardly. It was not until Melissa became a mother herself that she realized just how empowering the birth space can be.

Andrea supported us for the birth of our first child, and I was able to have the unmedicated birth I hoped for. She was available leading up to the birth for emotional preparation, and helped me labor through the night at home so I arrived at the hospital already in active labor — a real accomplishment for me. She was in our room minutes after we checked in, interfaced beautifully with my medical team, and paid close attention to my cues, offering well-timed suggestions that kept me calm and progressing. When we hit a few unexpected bumps, she helped me stay steady rather than anxious. I'd recommend her without hesitation — she was kind, respectful of my birth preferences, and easy to trust during such a vulnerable time.

Working with my Andrea was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. From our prenatal visits, she brought a sense of calm and reassurance that helped put both my husband and I at ease. During labor, her guidance of comfort measures and steady presence helped me stay focused and confident throughout. She anticipated needs before we had to ask and created a supportive environment for everyone. Even after delivery she stayed with us to make sure I felt comfortable, and cared for in those first moments postpartum.

Ashley Geary

Ashley's journey into the realm of motherhood was marked by challenges, particularly with postpartum anxiety following the birth of her son. The experience, not aligning with her envisioned childbirth, significantly impacted her postpartum transition. This prompted Ashley to delve into the intricacies of childbirth, recognizing a pressing need for maternal support during both the birthing process and postpartum period.Motivated by her own transformative experience, Ashley decided to pursue a homebirth with her daughter, finally obtaining the birthing and postpartum support she had sought. This pivotal moment inspired her to undergo comprehensive training as a birth and postpartum doula. Ashley's commitment to her role is evident in her diverse training background, including certifications from CAPPA, Newborn Mothers Collective, and Birth Arts International. Ashley is currently undergoing training to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and is actively accepting clients under the guidance of her mentor. As part of her commitment to supporting mothers, Ashley extends special discounts for those opting for homebirth and for repeat birth clients.

We had a great experience with Ashley! She was always available and able to help during both the prenatal and postpartum periods. Her questions were thoughtful and helped me think through our priorities, understand my anxieties, and offer great suggestions for both the birth and postpartum periods. Ashley was at my birth, which was really fast so there was not much time for anything, but she was great at helping my husband know how to be helpful during the birth and offered really good massage and lactation support. She knew my birth preferences front to back and was helpful as the go-between when necessary. She were especially good at calming me down while I was waiting to go into labor and offering tips to activate labor. She is a wealth of knowledge and a fabulous support system during such a vulnerable time.
