Water Birth Doulas in Buffalo, NY

Hey all!! My name is Hallie and I am a newly certified labor and postpartum doula in the Buffalo, NY area. After the birth of my first son in July 2021, I knew it was my calling to help others achieve a birth experience they could be proud of. Reach out to me and let’s chat! I’d love to add another member to the Blooming Baby family ❤️

I am a certified birth doula, with special training in VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) and am also a Certified Lactation Counselor. I became a doula after my own empowering births and felt a calling to support families throughout birth and breastfeeding. I believe that birth is a unique, individual experience that deserves presence, encouragement, and support. Being a guide as one navigates the unknowns and weighs the decisions of birth is one of my greatest honors, next to being a mother. I believe that doulas can change the world by inspiring calm and confidence in birthing parents. I love the power of birth to connect couples and delights in helping them work as a team. Birth is a deeply transformative experience and one that I will guide you through with compassion and enduring support. I love spending time with my two toddlers and husband, going on nature walks, reading or journaling, and digging in my flower and vegetable gardens.

Hello! My name is Alysa! I am a mother, photographer, and faith-based, holistic-minded birth/postpartum doula working towards my certification. I have completed my trainings and am ready to start serving families! I provide support for labor, birth, and postpartum as well as birth planning services here in the WNY area. I am passionate about not only empowering birth, but empowering women as a whole. Our bodies are temples, birth is sacred, a natural physiological process that God created us to do! This process shouldn’t be feared, but respected and supported! Motherhood can be intimidating, even if this isn’t your first time around. My goal as your doula is to ensure that you feel heard, confident, and supported through each step of your journey.

Hello all, I am a birth doula (DONA certified), placenta preparation specialist (WCPS certified), and childbirth educator (trained by ProDoula) serving the Western New York area. I also have a background in Biological Anthropology. I am passionate about using my cumulative knowledge to support and educate the pregnant & birthing people of my community, improving birth outcomes, and changing the narrative around childbirth. I've always been drawn to the non-clinical role of a doula, providing education with evidence-based information, supporting parents through pregnancy, labor, birth and beyond, and normalizing birth and breastfeeding in our culture. I strive to bring a calm, encouraging, non-judgmental presence into your birth space, along with a dash of humor.

I'm Tina - a birth and postpartum doula - and I'm so glad you're here! My desire is to be a guide, helper, encourager, and interpreter for you in your special season of having a baby. Whatever type of birth you choose, I am here to give you all the evidence based information you need in order to have the pregnancy, the birth, and the postpartum you dream of. Birth can be super unpredictable but the effort you put into your birth and the information and confidence you gain will be of huge help! You do not need to walk this path on your own. I serve the Niagara Region of Ontario - including St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Welland, Wainfleet, and Dunnville. One thing that makes me different as a doula is that I am a Christian and I believe that God wants to be fully present in every part of our life, including birth! Surrendering this crucial part of our life over to Him is utterly important. We are not called to live in fear but of power! I help you to turn your fear into faith, give you Scriptures that will inspire you, and pray over you. No matter what type of birth you choose, or what ends up happening, you can have a God-honoring birth. And I'm here to cheer you on!

I’m Desiree, a mom of five, an educator, and a certified birth and postpartum doula. I’ve had five unmedicated births (one of those births happened at home…on purpose). These personal experiences helped me find my way to birth support and have shaped the way I walk alongside families today. I know birth and early parenthood can feel both beautiful and overwhelming, and my goal is to help parents feel prepared, supported, and truly seen through it all. My philosophy is simple: Your Journey, Your Desired Way! Your choices matter! I provide evidence-based education, practical tools, and heartfelt support so you can feel confident, cared for, and truly seen.

Hello! My name is Katie :) As a birth and postpartum doula, I am passionate about honouring the birth and postpartum experience; by helping families feel supported, informed and heard throughout the process. Having experienced three beautiful births at home, I have a deep respect for the physical, emotional and immensely personal journey of bringing a baby into the world. My personal experience has lead me here - pursuing a career in birth work that is rooted in compassion, respect and empowerment for ALL families regardless of structure, identity or birth preferences. When I’m not working with families, you’ll usually find me at home in Grimsby, Ontario with my partner, our three kids, and two dogs - embracing the beautiful chaos of family life. I love practicing yoga, kitchen dance parties and you can usually spot me in the stands as that overly enthusiastic mom cheering way too loudly at my kids’ sports games.

Hello, I'm Barbara a certified doula serving Western NY. My passion in birthwork stems from peace and joy. Pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period should be celebrated and held with the deepest love. Physiological birth, autonomy, informed consent and restorative postpartums guide my practice. Just a little bit about me: I find joy in being a mom, spending time outdoors, suduko, and a good cup of coffee. I'm a two time homebirther, homeschooling mom of 4, and married to my best friend.

My name is Ekaterina Mariposa. I am a birth doula, perinatal psychologist, and lactation consultant with 10 years of doula practice and 13 years working as a psychologist. I work in Spain, Georgia, and internationally — online and in person. My clients are often navigating birth in an unfamiliar country, culture, or language — and I know that experience firsthand. I have lived across continents, and my practice grew from that intercultural reality. I speak English, Russian, and Spanish, and I bring both clinical training and deep personal understanding to every birth I attend. My role is not to lead, but to walk alongside — holding space for whatever this birth becomes. Here on Bornbir I am presenting my services online to support you remotely - if you live in the U.S. or Canada, and in person if you are in Europe.

I believe every family deserves to feel supported, informed, and confident throughout their journey into parenthood. My approach is compassionate, intuitive, and grounded in evidence-based care.

Birth can be whatever you want or need it to be, and that's where I come in as your doula. Whether you want it to be empowering, transformational, peaceful, healing or you just want to get through it in one piece then working with a doula like me will make all the difference. I'm with you from start to finish, which means from whenever you sign until the end of the fourth trimester, to help any and every way I can. And as a big bonus I also do infant bodywork to help with all of those fun newborn challenges you keep hearing about, like feeding issues or colic. I love what I do and I'm sure you'll love what I do too.

I will be by your side as you bring your baby into the world whether at a hospital, birthing centre, or in the comfort of your own home. Once baby is born, I will continue to provide you with educational support as well as encouragement and emotional support as you become acquainted with your baby. I will support your infant feeding journey (breastfeeding or otherwise) and offer household organizational support. My first language is English, but I can also support you in conversational French, Portuguese, and basic Italian! Aside from supporting families as they grow, I have a passion for travelling, art, and food!
