Find a Doula Near Me that Accepts Carrot

I cannot say enough amazing things about Mary and Lotus Doula Tribe. Having her by my side through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum was honestly a God send. Even though I ultimately needed a C-section, she still showed up for me in more ways than I can count. Her presence, support, love and wisdom were monumental in my recovery, and I know we are so blessed to have had her by our side. She held space for me, reminded me of my strength, and helped me navigate decisions with confidence. Her calm, grounding energy was such a gift to our whole family. I’m endlessly grateful for her role in my journey and couldn’t imagine doing it without her. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and will walk alongside you every step of the way, Mary is the one. 💛

I had such an amazing experience with my doula during the birth of my baby. She was supportive, patient, and truly cared about me and my baby every step of the way. One moment that really meant a lot to me was after delivery when I was having trouble getting my baby to latch. I started to feel frustrated and overwhelmed, but she didn’t rush off or leave me to figure it out alone. She stayed right there with me, gently guiding me and giving me tips until I was finally able to get him to latch successfully. Her patience and encouragement made such a difference in that moment and helped me feel more confident instead of discouraged. I’m so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and dedicated doula.

I had a very traumatic birth for my first child. Catholine made this experience so much more memorable and meaningful. Catholine is unmatched in how she holds space and provides comfort. The graceful and confident way that she approaches every single moment is indescribable. She's right there with you and making sure you have every thing that you need and more. She is also amazing at counter pressure and helping you get through it. One contraction, one moment at a time. She provides the love and care that every mom, new or existing, didn't know she needed. Im so overjoyed that I get to look back on this experience and smile. My heart will be forever full. Thank you so much!

I cannot say enough good things about Jaime and her company. Working with Jaime and her doulas (Michelle) was an absolute privilege. Jaime is kind, capable, thoughtful, reliable, and loving as is Michelle. They both fit right into our family seamlessly and managed our household better than my spouse or I can! My daughters (2.5 and 4.5) and all of us felt completely at ease and loved being with them. Jaime took us on last minute and then went above and beyond supporting all of us so that I could heal and sort out an exceptionally hard baby to nurse. She is very knowledgeable, offering both book and experience insight, and easy to get on with. I feel so incredibly lucky that we were able to work with her. She really cares about and loves what she does, and is very good at it!

We had a great experience working with Tori as our doula! My wife also had a positive experience with her as a prenatal massage therapist. Tori has a great touch with people and helped us navigate many difficult decisions and situations during my wife’s first pregnancy. Her knowledge and calm demeanor helped us to navigate complications and feel better during this uncertain time. She was also flexible and supportive as our needs changed during the pregnancy. We would definitely recommend Tori to anyone who is looking for a doula.

5 stars isn’t enough for Jenny! Jenny was my postpartum doula & she is truly the best. She does a thorough intake (most other doulas I interviewed did not do this but it was so helpful) & really tailors her services to your families needs. From light household chores to staying up all night with the baby, she does it all with kindness and compassion. She took amazing care of me and my daughter for 8 weeks & if I could keep her forever I would have! She also has a ton of great resources & recommendations for parents so if you need a IBCLC or nanny referral she has one! If you are considering a postpartum doula, Jenny is a great choice!

Aniya was a hugeeee blessing to my husband and I! I wouldn’t been able to make it through labor without her. She was a calm presence in the room and manually helped me through my contractions by using counter pressure on my hips. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who is very thorough in the process leading up to your delivery and if you’re wanting a peaceful person in the room with you!

It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for Glo. As a first-time mom living far from much of my family, I was nervous about navigating the postpartum period, but after our very first night with Glo, I knew we had found someone incredibly special. Glo is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, reliable, gentle, and kind. She brought a sense of calm and confidence into our home during a time when everything felt new. She was always there to answer questions, talk through different approaches, and help us navigate each new stage with our daughter without ever making us feel like there was one “right” way to do things. She also went far beyond simply caring for our baby. Glo helped us set up systems that made our entire bottle prep, feeding, and sanitizing routine so much more efficient and organized. Whenever we needed additional support, she had an incredible network of trusted resources to direct us to, including a lactation consultant who ended up being invaluable to me. One of the things I appreciated most was how intentional she was about understanding our goals. Each week, she listened to what we wanted to work on—both in the immediate moment and more broadly with our daughter—and helped us turn those goals into clear, actionable plans. So many of the routines and systems she helped us establish have worked incredibly well for our family and given us confidence as new parents. More than anything, Glo gave me one of the greatest gifts I could have received as a new mother: confidence in my ability to be a mom. She never imposed her way of doing things; instead, she gave me the knowledge, support, and encouragement to trust my own instincts. She was endlessly supportive and brought such a gentle, reassuring presence into our home. When I look back on the time I became a mother, Glo will forever be a part of that memory. Her warmth, knowledge, patience, and support were more meaningful than I ever could have anticipated. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her by their side, and I truly cannot recommend her enough.

I cannot recommend Blissful Sleep enough! We have used them twice now, and their timeliness and reliability really stood out compared to other services we’ve tried. The doulas are natural at soothing and caring for babies, and they were incredibly helpful with establishing routines. Beyond just childcare, they did dishes, washed bottles and pump parts, and helped with other chores, which gave us more time for sleep. We appreciated how flexible they were. They always adjusted to whatever we needed that specific morning—some days that meant letting the baby sleep as long as possible, and other days they had her changed and fed so she was ready for our morning rush to school/ work. If our baby didn't need anything in the morning they would brew coffee and read to the older kiddos. They go above and beyond to support the whole family.

We feel so lucky to have had Danielle with us three nights a week for the first six weeks after bringing our son home. As a first time mom, those early newborn days were such an adjustment, and Danielle quickly became a source of comfort and support for me too- not just someone we trusted to care for our baby. From the beginning, we felt safe and comfortable with her. She is incredibly caring, calm, and attentive, and I genuinely looked forward to the nights she was coming because I knew our son was in such good hands and I could actually rest. Especially in those first few weeks when everything felt so new, having her reassuring presence meant so much to us. Danielle was also wonderful about respecting our preferences and helping us figure out what worked best for our family without ever making us feel like there was one “right” way to do things. She was extremely communicative- always responsive, but also proactive about checking in, sharing updates, and making sure we were on the same page. We were genuinely sad when our time with Danielle came to an end. She became such a trusted and comforting presence during a really special and vulnerable time in our lives, and we’re so grateful she was part of those early weeks with our son. I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a night doula.

We hired Courtney as our full-time nanny right before our twins turned 2. She remained with us until the kids started attending daycare full-time. Everyday day our kids were so excited for Courtney to come over, a factor that my spouse and I felt was very important. Each day she planned different activities and age-appropriate crafts that helped develop their motor skills and cognitive development. When it was time she, also, helped the kids prepare for their next adventure and developmental step (daycare), something which I am eternally grateful. Our children still think of their time with Courtney fondly. We enjoyed and appreciated having Courtney with us for as long as we did.

We had the pleasure of having Amanda as our doula and can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She was the calm and gentle presence I needed during a very long labor. She was everything I needed, from guiding my husband to know how he could help me, position changes and mental support. We also did her birth class, which was wonderfully educational and made me excited to welcome my baby into the world!

We interviewed a few doulas before choosing Damiana, and she immediately stood out as someone who really understood us and made us feel comfortable. She was warm, thoughtful, and even offered a reference, which was really helpful in making our decision. We started working with her about 2.5months before the birth, and she was incredibly supportive throughout. She met with us weekly, helped us put together a solid birth plan, and really took the time to make sure we felt emotionally ready (not just prepared for labor, but ready for the whole experience). Also, she met us at the hospital shortly after we arrived at the hospital when I went into labor and was incredibly supportive. It was our 1st birth, and having her there to guide both me and my husband through everything made a huge difference. She was so reassuring and helpful. I honestly can’t imagine doing it without her. So grateful to have had Damiana as part of our birth team. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and truly supportive birth doula.

We had a wonderful experience working with MacKenzie as our birth and postpartum doula. As first-time parents, we had so many questions throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, and MacKenzie was always incredibly patient and thoughtful in answering them. She has a lot of knowledge and experience and was able to give us the information and perspective we needed without ever making us feel overwhelmed. Her prenatal visits were especially helpful in preparing us for what to expect during labor and delivery. She helped us understand our options, supported the choices that felt right for us, and advocated for me as the mom when needed, while always respecting that the decisions were ultimately ours. During labor, her calm and supportive presence helped both of us feel more confident during such an intense and unfamiliar experience. After the birth, she stayed with us to make sure breastfeeding was getting off to a good start. I also passed out after labor, and having MacKenzie there was incredibly reassuring. She helped me and my partner understand what was happening and navigate the situation when we were both exhausted and overwhelmed. We really appreciated that her support didn’t simply end once the baby was born. She was also a great resource during the postpartum period. Having someone experienced whom we could turn to with all of our first-time-parent questions made the transition into newborn life feel much less overwhelming. In addition, MacKenzie is a Carrot in-network provider, which was very helpful for us. She was willing to coordinate with us and make sure her invoices met Carrot’s reimbursement requirements, which made the reimbursement process much easier. We are very grateful to have had MacKenzie support us through such an important time in our lives, and we would absolutely recommend her to other expecting and new parents.

Working with Sally helped me to have the birth I wanted! I knew I wanted to try for an unmedicated birth, but was open to an epidural if needed, and Sally was supportive of both plans. She had great advice throughout my pregnancy and was a true hero on delivery day! She accompanied my husband and I to the hospital and was amazing at communicating with our nurses and doctors which took a lot of pressure off of me and my husband so that we could just be present in the moment. She used a variety of strategies to keep me as comfortable as possible during labor --the counterpressure and massage was a game changer during contractions! After baby was born she followed up with us several times to make sure breastfeeding and everything was going well. We would definitely recommend getting a doula, specifically Sally, to anyone who is on the fence about hiring someone to support their birth!

Nishante was excellent, kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. She went above and beyond staying multiple nights in the hospital with us. I highly recommend Nishante!

I have been so lucky to hire Melissa twice as a doula now and I could not recommend her services enough. She is a wonderful advocate for mothers and truly listened to what I needed. She gave me the space to think about what my needs might be and I don’t think I would have known without her there to ask those questions. She helped prep our whole family in a way where I felt so well cared for. For both of the births Melissa was there for, as soon as she walked in I felt a huge sigh of relief. She was there and she had me and my back and I fully trusted her to guide me. We were also fortunate enough to hire her postpartum doulas! We had the pleasure of working with Veronica, Danielle and Bernadette. Everyone brought different outstanding qualities that were a total joy to experience. They went above and beyond to learn about our families needs and fit right in. I trusted all of them with my postpartum care, cooking meals, giving my husband a break and endless sibling entertainment for my bigger kids so I could snuggle in bed with our new baby. I felt so well supported my body was able to heal physically and I could emotionally take space when needed. There was always round the clock care and they were quick to fill our schedule when I quickly realized I needed more support than I had initially intended. I wish all mothers could experience this kind of care.

Working with Katelyn was hands down the best decision we made for our birth and postpartum journey. She was truly irreplaceable, and I honestly know I wouldn’t have had such a successful, positive birth experience without her. From the start, Katelyn prepped both my husband and me so thoroughly that we felt confident going into labor. When a preeclampsia diagnosis completely threw our original expectations out the window, Katelyn didn't miss a beat. She immediately helped us pivot and had a brand-new birth plan ready, guiding us through every shift with calm, compassionate expertise. Her care didn't stop in the delivery room, either. As someone navigating postpartum anxiety, Katelyn was an absolute lifeline. She helped us ease into newborn sleep schedules, patiently answered our endless questions, and gave us so much peace of mind during those vulnerable early weeks. If you are looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, adaptable, and deeply supportive, hire Katelyn immediately. We are forever grateful for her!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tara! She was such an incredible source of support throughout my pregnancy and birth experience. From answering my questions and helping me prepare for a home birth to being there with us throughout labor, she was always encouraging, knowledgeable, calm, and reassuring. Having her by my side during my birth was such a comfort. She helped me and my husband feel confident, supported, and prepared, and I’m so grateful for the encouragement and care she gave me throughout the entire experience. Choosing her as our doula was one of the best decisions we made. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who will truly support and encourage you throughout pregnancy and birth!

We immediately knew Eldrid was our doula after our first chat. She is warm, reassuring, and so well informed. Her “come as you are” approach and deep knowledge calmed our anxieties about our high risk pregnancy and delivery. Throughout the pregnancy, she gave us evidence-based resources and information without influence or judgment. She taught us how to advocate for our needs with our many medical specialists. When we had to do a last-minute induction, she was at the hospital when we checked in to prepare the room. She warmly opened up a dialogue with us and the nurses about our needs as we progressed through labor. She had many physical and emotional tools to carry us through each contraction, all while ensuring nurses were giving us space to labor as we wanted to. She was a firm, clear, and kind advocate for our birth plan. Eldrid remained at the hospital with us for 24 hours up until the baby came and only left once we were settled into our postpartum room. As our postpartum doula, she continued to teach us new things and empowered us as new parents. She also makes the best soups and other recovery foods! Our family is very grateful for everything she’s done for us, and we rexommend her for anyone having their first baby.
