Alyssa was such a blessing! After going into labor, my husband and I were unsure about when to go to the hospital and what to do to help labor progress. Alyssa helped us labor at home for six hours before my water broke and we headed to the hospital. While we were at home she was such a great support. She helped me move around and change positions a lot more than I would have on my own. We walked up and down the stairs, knelt on all fours, and moved into different positions with the yoga ball. When I was moving around, Alyssa did counter pressure on my lower back which made a big difference as well. It was a relief to have her advice on when to call the midwife and in timing contractions. She stayed with me when I was admitted to the hospital and continued to help me move around into different positions in the hospital room and took turns with my husband and a friend doing counter pressure on my back. My labor was longer than expected which was scary at times, but Alyssa continued to be a big support as we made decisions. She helped remind me of what I had requested in my birth plan, and made sure I was aware and able to make an informed decision when the providers suggested deviations from the plan. Eventually my beautiful, healthy baby boy was born. Alyssa stayed with us for several hours after his birth to make sure we were doing well and getting a great start with nursing. A week after the birth she came back to our house and helped with our baby overnight so my husband and I could get some much needed sleep. It was a big help to have support postpartum, especially since we don’t have family nearby to help. Even if I was not planning to have an unmedicated birth, I would hire Alyssa again because it is such a comfort to have someone knowledgeable with you to assist during labor and with decision making.

We acquired Makayla's postpartum services for the birth of our second child and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! Despite being experienced parents, juggling the constant needs of a newborn and toddler with all of our daily household responsibilities was really challenging. Having Makayla support us a few days or nights a week to help with light household chores, meal prep and baby-wearing in addition to all the education and care she provides, really helped maintain our sanity, helped us recharge and also allowed us one on one quality time with our toddler (which can be difficult to achieve!). It was so nice to have someone come over to look after this very tired Mom and give her a break for a change! The overnight shifts were a tremendous lifesaver as well, giving everyone much needed continuous rest and energy. Her breadth of knowledge and experience were helpful refreshers and great advice for us to ensure quality care for our sons. Makayla truly is amazing and transitioned right into being our default babysitter, the only one we trust with both kids.

Hi, I’m Sai, a birth and postpartum doula, infant care specialist, and mom of four. My journey into this work began through my own lived experience with postpartum depression and anxiety, which opened my eyes to how deeply parents need support during pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood, and how often they’re expected to navigate it alone. For over five years, I’ve supported families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with compassionate, nonjudgmental, and evidence-based care. As a birth doula, I provide emotional support, education, advocacy, comfort measures, and a calming presence throughout labor and delivery, helping families feel informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way. My postpartum work focuses on newborn care, recovery support, feeding guidance, and helping parents adjust with confidence during those early weeks at home. Before becoming a doula, I spent more than 15 years working with children as a special education teacher assistant and childcare supervisor, which gave me a strong foundation in infant development, family-centered care, and supporting children with diverse needs. I’m especially passionate about maternal mental health, birth equity, and ensuring that every parent, regardless of background, has access to respectful, nurturing care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Being part of BornBir feels like a natural extension of my mission, and I’m grateful to grow within a community that centers families, advocacy, and healing.

As new parents, entrusting someone with the overnight care of our newborn was a major leap of faith. We were blessed to find Ossai. She was not only loving, attentive and nurturing to our baby girl - she made us both feel very at ease, and was helpful and supportive toward my wife in so many ways as far as her postpartum needs. Ossai is a great communicator, and sent us a detailed text every morning just before leaving, detailing the past night. Above all else, Ossai is just a naturally warm and comforting person. She led with love, cared for all of us, and is welcome back in our home anytime.
