As a doula, I not only bear witness to the birth of babies, but to the birth of parents. I watch in the background as parents harness their strength to unspeakable levels, welcoming the newest, littlest members of the family with emotions that swell and carry the room. As you draw from your inner core strength, physically and spiritually, I am in awe. And I recognize that you deserve continuous support services throughout the first year of your child’s life to ensure optimal outcomes for your beautiful family. Learn more about the principles that dictate Aila Birth Village by clicking here. Aila, pronounced I-la, means “from the strong place”. As such, I am committed to providing you with the support and resources you need to effectively build up your family. My expanded services now include antepartum support, birth support, postpartum support, childbirth education, breastfeeding education, infant sleep consultations, and even a special Back to Work planning program. I believe that you have a fundamental right to experience a beautiful birth as you define it. I recognize that this is a sacred, transformative time for you and your family, and I will treat it with authentic reverence. This means your feelings should be heard, your preferences should be honored, your reproductive rights respected, your heart protected, and your body enveloped with the love and support of your birth team. To this end, I provide you with evidence-based tools and resources that places you and your baby’s needs at the center. No matter the setting of birth - hospital, birthing center, or home birth – and no matter the type of birth – vaginal, c-section, or via surrogate - your birth can be empowering. My hope is that my support is virtuous and exemplary and this is reflected in how you feel during our time together.

Shannon was an incredible newborn care specialist for our family. From the beginning, she was caring, reliable, and thoughtful in the way she cared for our newborn. She gave us tremendous peace of mind during those exhausting early months. One of the things we appreciated most was her balanced approach to helping our baby develop healthy sleep habits. Shannon was gentle and nurturing, never relying on a “cry it out” approach, but she also helped our baby learn to settle without creating habits that would be difficult to unwind later. She struck exactly the right balance between comfort, consistency, and structure. Shannon handled all of the late-night changes, soothed our baby with care, and woke us when needed for feeds. She saved us countless hours of lost sleep, stress, and second-guessing. Thanks in large part to her help, our baby was sleeping through the night by around three months. We are so grateful for Shannon and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, dependable, and experienced newborn care specialist

It's said that breastfeeding a baby is the most natural thing in the world, but it doesn't always come naturally. Like many new parents, I experienced a few challenges while breastfeeding my own children. I want to help others avoid or overcome similar difficulties, if possible. The nursing dyad is such a special relationship and I want as many people as possible to get a chance to experience it. Here in America, lactation consultants are often the only health professional visiting a new family in their home, and sometimes we are the only health care worker seeing a new mom in the first six weeks postpartum. I feel really lucky to be one of the first people to meet the new baby! An IBCLC is a unique professional for your family's unique needs. We are small parts sister, friend, nurse, doula, nutritionist, therapist, parenting coach, biology teacher, and detective! We are an important part of your postpartum support system!

Don’t look elsewhere, hire Sharla! Working with Sharla was truly one of the best decisions I made after having my baby. Breastfeeding can be an overwhelming, confusing, and sometimes difficult journey, and Sharla made it so much easier for me. She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, responsive, and she made me feel confident in what I was doing. When we ran into challenges, including my son’s tongue-tie and my experience with mastitis, Sharla quickly helped identify what was going on and gave me solutions that made a huge difference. Whenever I had a question or wasn’t sure what to do next, I could turn to Sharla, who gave me thoughtful and practical guidance. I only wish I had found Sharla with my first healthy child! Having her support this time around made a massive positive difference in my postpartum experience. If you’re considering working with a lactation consultant, I cannot recommend Sharla enough. She is absolutely worth it!

Birth Savvy

Hi, we are Anna and Ashley, Registered Nurses specializing in High Risk Obstetrics and founders Of Birth Savvy LLC. Meet Ashley RN, BSN My career began in pediatric primary care and community health, but my true passion led me to Labor & Delivery in 2015. For several years, I worked at one of Boston’s top institutions, caring for high-risk and critically ill birthing patients. I was driven to expand my expertise beyond the delivery room—supporting families holistically throughout their entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. In 2021, I transitioned into Maternal Fetal Medicine, deepening my knowledge of complex pregnancies and high-risk care. My mission is to provide a culturally competent, integrated approach that nurtures both physical and emotional well-being. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve personally navigated a high-risk pregnancy and birth—a journey that sparked my Aha! moment: knowledge, paired with unwavering support, is the true key to empowerment in the perinatal and postpartum experience. That realization led me to create Birth Savvy, because every birthing person deserves high-quality education, autonomy, and confidence. I mix humor, encouragement, and real talk to help parents connect mind and body, fuel inner strength, and embrace birth without fear. I’m a Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner, Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), CPR/AED/First Aid Instructor, and trained in perinatal mental health. When I’m not empowering families, you’ll find me traveling, watching action movies, enjoying great food, listening to music, and, of course, being a mom! Meet Anna RN, MSN I’m Anna, a dedicated OB nurse with over 13 years of experience in labor and delivery, postpartum, antepartum, abortion care, and Maternal Fetal Medicine. My passion for childbirth started early, inspired by my grandmother’s stories shared around the dinner table. From the moment I stepped into nursing, I knew supporting families through pregnancy and birth was my calling. Beyond hospital-based care, I earned a Master’s in Public Health and worked in community health, providing vital reproductive care and family planning services. As a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner, and Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) specialist, I bring a holistic and evidence-based approach to every birth experience. My goal is to help families feel calm, confident, and in control, no matter their journey. I founded Birth Savvy because the greatest joy in my career has been guiding parents toward empowered, informed choices—no matter how complex their situation may be. When I’m not working, you’ll find me cooking, traveling, re-learning piano, or tackling endless home improvement projects!

Hi, I'm Jennifer! For over 25 years, I've supported families as a Childbirth Educator, Labor and Postpartum Doula, and Certified Infant/Toddler Montessori Teacher. I believe every birth experience and every fourth trimester is unique, and that it truly takes a village. My passion for supporting families with newborns took root while I was working with expectant parents through prenatal, postpartum, and infant massage. Then I became pregnant with my first child. With no extended family nearby, I quickly saw how valuable it is to have an experienced, compassionate person to guide you through this transition without judgment. As a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, I find joy in sharing education while nurturing the emotional and physical well-being of the whole family during this special time. My goal is to help every family come together feeling empowered and confident as they begin their journey into parenthood!

Makita is very professional caregiver for new borns and babies. She had been a great help for my family when my baby was 4 month old. She is proactive, patient and knowledgable in her field, and even identified early signs of torticollis in my baby. She was the only one that I could trust with my baby alone. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs professional and reliable care support.

I first reached out to Nicolette about 5 years ago after seeing her post about a car seat event locally. We were transitioning our 5 year old out of a 5 point harness to a booster seat. Because of other medical issues we had questions whether or not a safe ride vest was needed or if a full back booster would be enough. Although she did not know too much when I reached out about the safe ride vest Nicolette went above and beyond to make sure that at the event herself and an officer were knowledgeable and prepared. She was thorough on answering all of our questions, and she followed up with us after the event to see how the transition into a new seat went! Since then we have reached out for a new infant carseat installation check and to answer just a few quick questions about laws and regulations here in the state of MA! I would highly recommend if you have questions, concerns, or just want to learn more about car safety for your little ones you reach out to her!

Amelia's abhyanga body work services are an incredible gift for yourself or anyone postpartum in your life. Amelia creates space to talk about your birth experience, provides tea, body work, and after care all via an in-home experience. It never felt rushed and left me feeling cared for postpartum.

Danielle is truly wonderful! As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I know just how important it is for moms to feel supported throughout pregnancy and postpartum, and Danielle is exactly the kind of person you want by your side during that time. She is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about helping moms and families navigate this stage of life. She has such a warm, calming presence and makes everyone around her feel comfortable and cared for. It’s so clear how much she loves what she does, and I would highly recommend her to any new or expecting mom!
