Hi, my name is Amaya and I would love to be your doula! In my care, I prioritize mental health and wellness and trauma reduction. I come from a background in Black maternal health justice research and am in school to become a medical social worker. Because I am only 21 years old and a newer doula, I am able to connect with even the youngest of mamas and provide contemporary care and insight into maternal experiences.

You are capable and empowered through preparation and your innate ability; because of how you were created.

To Whom it May Concern, Our family hired Christine Petras to work as our nanny in July 2021 and we would certainly recommend her work. Christine has demonstrated tremendous responsibility in taking care of our 11-month-old daughter and in keeping the house in working order. She is kind, trustworthy and always on time. While caring for our daughter, Christine performed a handful of tasks: • Prepared and served baby-led weaning meals with balanced nutrition and ensured food safety, while be trained in emergency response (CPR) • Organized fun and educational games, read storybooks that increased our daughter’s interest in story time, and planned daily, outdoor activities (weather permitted) such as walking to the local playground and park • Performed light household chores pertaining to our daughter, such as: laundry, dishes, tidying of our daughters play areas • Maintained a daily routine that our daughter looked forward to Christine has always brought a professional, well-thought-out approach when caring for our child. She is capable of isolating important obstacles in our child’s life and investigated literature for the best possible means to address those obstacles, in such a manner, that our daughter has consistently met her developmental milestones. Christine has a heart of gold and continually goes above and beyond her job description, her work ethic is untouchable, and her patience is something our family will always be grateful for. Christine has been an absolute gift to our family – she is loving, energetic and present. She is able to work in the intimate family environment with integrity and professionalism. Our family treasures Christine and deeply value her contribution to our household. It’s hard to explain how much my family loves Christine and how sad we were that it was time for our daughter to start school. It really does take a village to raise a child, and Christine is the safest, most loving village out there.

I am passionate in serving mothers and giving them the much needed attention they deserve. After hiring a doula for our 2nd son’s birth I felt called to join her team!

But with the help and encouragement from my doula I went into pregnancy & childbirth with so much confidence. This is the love and support every mother deserves!! I will be your best friend through pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Providing unlimited support through text/call. Being there for you when labor starts to help things go smoothly. Keeping you relaxed and rested whether home or hospital birth. I also will provide postpartum care best tailored to you personally.

From my very first impression of Kati, she was very warm, genuine, and easy to connect with. Her gentle presence was exactly what my birth space needed when I was at my most vulnerable. From my prenatal appointment, to the birth room, and postpartum, Kati has been nothing but encouraging and first class. Highly recommend her services!

Hi parents :) I’m Alexa & I have a deep passion for helping women connect with the natural rhythms of their body. We’ve been giving birth for thousands of years and I deeply trust our body’s innate ability to go through the birthing process. My main goal is to encourage, empower, support & advocate for the birthing person. Each women is entirely different, so I take a very individualistic approach to each of my clients. I am currently not taking any new clients, but I wish you the best in your search!

SummerNickol was the best doula and supporter I could have ever asked for during my pregnancy. As a first-time mom, I had so much to learn, and she guided me through everything I needed to know about becoming a mother. She encouraged me to take classes, helped me create a birth plan, and made sure the nurses and doctors knew my preferences. During delivery, she was a calming presence, teaching me breathing techniques and supporting me through every step. She truly takes her job seriously and goes above and beyond to ensure you’re comfortable, informed, and at ease. I was heartbroken when she moved because she was such an incredible part of my journey. SummerNickol was born to do this—she’s a natural nurturer and caregiver. If you’re looking for a doula who genuinely cares, she’s the one!

Tiara is the absolute sweetest yet genuine doula! Tiara provided education to myself and family regularly. Tiara ensured she understood my labor and delivery wishes. She provided comfort during an unplanned C-Section while documenting for my family. Postpartum, Tiara conducted a follow-up visit, which I loved! She truly loves what she doulas, an amazing advocate!

My biggest fear for this birth had a lot to do with the fact that I had gestational diabetes and I wasn’t sure what my labor and delivery would look like. I ended up having to be induced as a result of the diabetes. As a result labor lasted a long time and the contractions became unbearable. My doula was able to help with giving me strategies to help work through the pain and contractions. She used a few different strategies that helped me to get through a delivery with no pain medication. Her use of heat, oils, breathing and her attentiveness to my needs was the most helpful part. She was able to get me out of my own head to help me to help myself in the most productive way. The most unexpected perk of having a doula was the postpartum care. Tangela helped a lot with suggestions of how to deal with the healing process. She even provided some personally made items that I could use during my healing process. I would highly recommend DoulaSent Birth Services. The fact that I had someone to contact that would understand and sympathize but would also give practical useful tips and suggestions to remedy any troubles I had was wonderful. For anyone contemplating on hiring a doula, I would say go for it! It’s the support you don’t even realize you need until you’ve experienced it.
