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.

Anais was an amazing support before and during my labor. She helped me craft my perfect birth plan and supported me 100% the whole time never leaving my side. I am extremely grateful for her services and would recommend her highly to anyone I know.

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

Hi my name is Sydney i have been a Birth Doula for about 5 years, I decided to become a Doula after going to Kenya Africa for a month (I’ve been to Kenya 4 times ) my first trip and seeing so many pregnant people not get the support they needed during delivery, so after my month there i came back and got certified and after i got certified i went back like a year later for 10 months to volunteer at a government hospital and a birth center. So in my 5 years of being a birth doula i have supported over 700 moms. If your in the Phoenix area and looking for a birth doula definitely send me a message and check out my Doulamatch profile (Sydney Pauker) to see reviews from recent clients, i look forward to speaking to you and your partner on how i can support you thru the most exciting time.

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.

Amissa was my doula for my first and only birth and she was INCREDIBLE. She's super knowledgable, kind, and considerate of what you need throughout your pregnancy and birthing journey. I felt very nervous about not knowing anything and once I connected with Amissa I felt way more educated and prepared for my expectations and knowing my rights in the delivery room. She advocated for me and empowered me to advocate for myself. I would absolutely recommend Amissa to anyone seeking a doula's support for their birth.

My experience with Taylor was very unique to sum it up in one word<3 Taylor was my original doulas back up for the back up doula. I had a LONG intense labor and by the time we were ready to go to the hospital and have baby Taylor was our doula. Going from never meeting her to having her apart of the most important and vulnerable thing in our lives and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Taylor and I clicked instantly. She was so helpful and was very knowledgable. She helped me feel comfortable, confident, and helped me find my voice when it came to having the birth I wanted. She will definitely be our number one choice for doulas when it comes to having another baby. We will always love Taylor!
