Hi, I’m Edrina Gilbert, a full-spectrum doula, herbalist, childbirth educator, womb practitioner and founder of Let’s Doula This Baby LLC. I support women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with a blend of evidence-based care and ancestral wisdom. My work is rooted in helping families feel emotionally held, physically supported, and spiritually aligned as they welcome new life. Whether I’m creating nourishing teas, encapsulating placentas, or guiding mamas through their birthing journey, my goal is always the same, to remind women of their power and to make birth a deeply supported, healing experience. ✨ Your birth is sacred. Your care should be too. ✨

Drina went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and prepared for the day! I was freaking out because at 41 weeks my baby still hadn't come and i was due for induction. My first baby was also induced, and because of the pitocin i begged for an epidural and ended up with a catheter, more stitches, longer recovery, lasting back pain, etc. The first induction took 21 hours. Yesterday i had my second baby via pitocin induction without an epidural! My dream come true. It was painful but she kept me in the zone. She had me laughing and oozing oxytocin and just going with the pain. It was like out of a movie. The nurses were saying that i had the kind of birth they read about in textbooks but never see up close in person. I started pitocin at 11:45am and baby was here by 3:13pm. Having Drina there was such a game changer. I would 100% recommend her and have her there at any future births as long as she’s willing. I am eternally grateful.

From the moment we started working with Sophia at Devout Doula Services, it was clear that we had made the right decision. She not only provided us with emotional and physical support but also with an incredible depth of knowledge and resources that empowered us throughout our birth. She was there for us every step of the way, from early pregnancy to postpartum, offering guidance on everything from nutrition to birth plans. Sophia respected and listened to our wishes, ensuring that we felt heard, seen, and genuinely cared for. The personalized tips and continuous availability via text and calls helped alleviate our anxieties. The prenatal visits were not only informative but also incredibly reassuring. During labor, She advocated for us with the medical staff, ensuring that all actions were in our best interest. Her support was not just professional but deeply personal. We recommend Sophia without reservation to anyone looking for a doula who will respect, empower, and support you throughout your birthing process.

I am a registered nurse with a baccalaureate degree in nursing. Similarly an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I studied at Helene Fuld College of Nursing in NYC and received my nursing degree in 1995. My background in nursing consists of working with adults in medical-surgical, MICU and home health settings. The past thirteen years of my career consists of caring for the neonatal population, and the dyad of mother and child. This allowed me to further my training and education, having received my certification in Low Risk Neonatal Nursing and graduating from Rasmussen College with the status of Magma Cum Laude; receiving my BSN. I was inspired to become a Lactation Consultant after working in the Maternal Child Division at Tampa General Hospital. I have experienced the different challenges that so many women face with breastfeeding, and wanted to be of further help. I personally know how rewarding this experience can be having breast fed two of my three children. To achieve the status of an International Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC); in addition to my work experience I studied with Marie Biancuzzo of Breastfeeding Outlook and took a proctored international board certified exam. I have worked for two major hospitals in the capacity as a lactation consultant/neonatal nurse and similarly started my own private practice. I have volunteered at the Baby Café, attended La Leche League meetings and joined the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA), to remain current in my practice with evidence-based information. This also allows me to continue educating, encouraging and empowering the dyad of mom/ baby on their breastfeeding journey. I am passionate about supporting breastfeeding mothers with their personal goals and normalizing breastfeeding for this and following generations. It is my goal to provide lactation support and counseling whenever and wherever possible.
