I became a doula to help women achieve the birth experience that they envision. I want women to feel empowered after their birth and to well informed on all of their options. I love all things birth and breastfeeding.

Melanie was so attentive, caring and comforting! I had a difficult pregnancy to say the least, dealing with all these issues and having someone who actually cares made my experience so much better. Not to mention she’s very knowledgeable about all things mother and baby!

As a holistic doula, childbirth educator, and lactation counselor, I seek to provide expecting mothers support both physical and emotional alongside evidence-based information and advocacy during every phase of their journey. I am there to be an unwavering source of non-judgemental support, comfort, reassurance, and information. My mission is to guide women to tune into their intuitive wisdom and become active participants in their birth process. It’s a call for women to reclaim their power over their bodies and trust their innate ability to birth. I believe that we have an opportunity to shift our society and essentially change the world by providing the space for women and mothers to thrive.

Hi! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and I specialize in helping you let go of perfectionism and anxiety. Parenting is hard enough, even more when unrealistic expectations of yourself and others get in the mix. Learn to live a life with more flow and laughs and less overthinking and doubt.

I'm Destiny, a certified lactation counselor, a follower of Jesus, a mom to two boys, a wife, and a math teacher.In 2020, I underwent a traumatic Caesarean due to preeclampsia with my firstborn son. Determined to own my breastfeeding journey despite the challenges, I turned to online resources during the pandemic for support. Certainly! I want to provide you with the support that I didn’t have. My mission is simple: to empower you with the confidence to breastfeed on your own unique journey. I want to provide you with evidence-based resources and help close the breastfeeding gap. Having experienced the importance of reliable support firsthand, I provide families with compassionate support as they navigate the journey of infant feeding decisions, whether they choose nursing, pumping, or a combination.

I recently had the privilege of booking a postpartum session with Destiny, and I can confidently say it was a game-changer for my breastfeeding journey.Destiny's expertise and genuine care were evident from the moment we connected. Not only did she help me increase my milk supply, but she also taught me invaluable techniques and insights that I hadn't known before.What stood out the most was Destiny's spirit – she radiates warmth and compassion, making me feel supported and understood every step of the way. Her passion for helping breastfeeding moms shines through in everything she does.Thanks to Destiny's guidance, I feel more empowered and confident in my breastfeeding journey. I can't recommend her enough to any mom seeking support and guidance during the postpartum period.Thank you, Destiny, for being an incredible support system and making a positive difference

Hello! My name is Marcela and from a young age I’ve felt a calling to help those who cannot speak for themselves, this is why I initially became a Veterinarian Technician. After enjoying that field for many years I wanted to specialize in OB/GYN sonography. Plans were put on hold as I welcomed my blessing. During my pregnancy I took all sorts of classes to prepare for birth, but, when it came to the hospital, things didn’t go as planned and I was stripped from my birth rights ! I never want another mother to feel the way I felt or be treated the way I was. Every woman deserves to feel empowered, supported and loved throughout their pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum and lactation journey. My passion for doula work only grew as I learned the statistics with minority women and I am ready to be a part of that change! I want to be a part of the statistic that decreases birth mortality.

I believe that every woman deserves to be educated about pregnancy, the birth process, and postpartum. Every woman has the right to know her choices and her rights. I believe that each woman’s voice deserves to be heard and her choices are to be respected above all else. I am not the authority over your body. I believe in the wisdom of the body and the intuition of the mother. I see myself as a guide and a caretaker and my role is to safeguard you on your journey. I do not own your birth nor dictate your choices.
