I’m here to make you feel empowered, supported, and heard through your journey of birth and postpartum. This is my mission due to my birth and postpartum experiences. I had a traumatic first birth that ended in an emergency c-section. Postpartum Recovery was even more difficult without the support I truly needed. When I was ready to try for a second baby, I miscarried. It took a lot out of me, to get the answers I needed to explain why I miscarried and to find a provider who was going to be safe for me. I knew I wanted a doula and the right birth team that would support me through a VBAC. My team heard me and created space for me to achieve a dream birth!

Hi, I’m Amanda Carlton! I live in Mesa, Arizona with my husband and our two young boys. I’ve always had two passions: child development and aviation. I earned my degree in Child Development from California State University, Chico, and later pursued a career as a commercial pilot. While they may seem like total opposites, both fields bring out the curious, research-driven side of me—I love understanding how things work, whether it’s the science of aerodynamics or the developmental journey of a child. When I became a mom, I quickly realized how valuable my child development background was—but even with that, I struggled with my first son’s sleep. Frequent night wakings, short naps, and total exhaustion left me feeling lost. We eventually worked with a pediatric sleep consultant, and by night three, my son was sleeping through the night. The transformation was life-changing—we went from surviving to truly thriving. That experience inspired me to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant myself. Now, I have the privilege of helping other families find the peace and rest they deserve. My approach is fully customized—because I know there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to sleep. I tailor each plan to the individual child and family, and I don’t just hand you a plan and disappear. I’m with you every step of the way to guide, support, and adjust as needed—until sleep is no longer a stressor in your home. Let’s get your family from surviving to thriving.

Amanda assisted us in sleep training my now 8 month old baby boy. She was there the whole time answering all my frantic text messages and giving me support when I needed it most. I hit my rock bottom, worn out and sleep deprived navigating these waters but, what made it worth it, was knowing Amanda was by my side. I was worried that we weren't going to get there as he was very persistent and the nursing habit was difficult to break. However, Amanda walked me through it and assured me that it was okay and his protesting will end....and it did. Thank you for the support. I am really glad I reached out as I am now managing my two under two with dad out of town. I couldn't do it without my sleep. Thank you for reminding me what 8 hours of solid sleep can do for you! Highly recommend!

As a doula I integrate various techniques such as meditation, mindfulness, nutrition plans, energy healing and more, to create a calming, and soothing environment for the mother during our time together. I will help to reduce stress, anxiety and illuminate any fears or doubts she may have surrounding / regarding birth. . This not only supports the mother's mental and emotional health but also contributes to a smoother labor and delivery process.

I’m a single mother navigating the rewarding and challenging journey of raising an adventurous young boy. My life is a blend of nurturing a curious and growing child while indulging in my passions and interests. For many years, I’ve been deeply immersed in the food industry, managing a beloved family-owned Mexican restaurant that was started by my grandparents in 1964. This restaurant has been a cornerstone of our family and community, and my work there has not only shaped my professional life but also my personal identity. Running the restaurant has been a labor of love, connecting me to my heritage and allowing me to share our family’s culinary traditions with others. Cooking remains a significant part of my life, whether it's preparing meals at home or experimenting with new recipes. I find joy in exploring new culinary experiences and discovering new flavors, both in my own kitchen and through dining out at different restaurants. Traveling to foreign countries is another passion of mine, as it offers a chance to immerse myself in different cultures, gain fresh perspectives, and experience the world from new angles. Nature is my sanctuary, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether I’m hiking through scenic trails or simply enjoying the outdoors, I cherish the connection with nature and the tranquility it brings. My Philosophy Central to my philosophy is the belief that no woman is ever truly alone in her journey. As a mother and a professional, I embrace the idea that support, solidarity, and shared experiences among women are powerful forces that uplift and strengthen us. Whether through the bonds we forge in our personal lives or the communities we build in our professional endeavors, the connections we make are vital. I am committed to fostering these connections and drawing strength from the collective wisdom and support of the women around me. In addition to my work in the food industry, I am a certified prenatal doula. These roles allow me to provide comprehensive support to families during one of the most transformative times in their lives. My certifications reflect my dedication to helping others navigate their birthing journeys with confidence and care. Balancing motherhood with my professional and personal interests, I strive to create a fulfilling and vibrant life for both myself and my son. My experiences in the food industry, coupled with my passion for travel, nature, and my work as a doula , shape a life filled with creativity, exploration, and deep familial bonds.

Hello....My name is Kelly Sunshine and I have been a birth doula for over 12 years supporting more than 1150 births in the Phoenix Metro area. I work with clients delivering in any hospital, birth center or home environment. In the hospital setting I work well with health care providers and feel that I walk that fine line between respecting the hospital staff and their regulations and yet still help my mamas have the birth of their dreams. With a little hard work, patience and showing respect we can achieve the birth you desire....while still in a hospital setting! I have wonderful recommendations for both OB providers, midwifes and natural friendly hospitals in the valley. I also work with many of the local home birth midwifes and know that having a doula even in a home birth setting is so valuable. Please reach out to see if myself or one of the other doulas on our team are a good fit for you!

I would give Kelly all the stars in the world, she took me on as a client 2 weeks before my due date even though she was completely booked up. She made my birth experience for my husband and I such a blessing and I would have NEVER been able to go unmedicated without her. Laboring at home and knowing when to go to the hospital, helping with different laboring positions to her helping me apply counter pressure on my back during contractions and telling me I can do this when I wanted to give up were only a few ways she helped me through my labor. We love you Kelly!! Highly recommend - The Rubinos

We used Bianca for postpartum doula care after bringing our second baby home. She was able to provide us with newborn care, sibling care and some light household cleaning. She was a vital part of this postpartum journey. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Hello! I'm a mother of two wonderful teens, 17 and 13. I'm in my final year of persuing my bachelors in nursing. I have experience as a birth doula before I began school and loved doing that work. I'm not currently in a position to be on call in the same way as I prefer to be for those clients so I'm transitioning into postpartum and night nurse care. I am certified in BLS for healthcare providers, fully vaccinated, and I have a level 1 Arizona fingerprint clearance card. I'm highly knowledgeable in infant and child care from my experience with babies and children from a young age, work as a doula, and having two children of my own. I have experience with multiples on various occasions. Additionally, my training in the healthcare field gives me the knowledge to skillfully care for and protect your greatest treasure.

A doula will empower and value you, providing confidence and guidance throughout the journey. I believe in the power of prenatal exercises to help balance your body in preparation for birth. These movements not only prepare you physically but will also be incorporated during labor to help your baby move into the optimal position, making the birthing process smoother for both you and your baby, and preparing you for a better recovery postpartum. ​
