I have a BA in pre-medicine and I am currently working towards a master's degree in reproductive science and medicine, which I expect to complete in June 2025. I am planning to apply for physician's assistant programs next, with the goal of working as an OB/Gyn provider. Being a doula allows me to connect with and support the women in my community while I am in school to become a medical provider. Because of my background in science and medicine, my practice as a doula is research-based. I provide clients with personalized, accurate information to help facilitate conversations with their doctors so they can make the best decisions for their birth plan. I support hospital-birth clients, and I aim to eliminate the stigma surrounding medicated births.

Hi everyone! I'm Angel, a wife, mom of four, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), trained full-spectrum doula, and maternal-child health educator. I'm passionate about walking alongside families as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, infant feeding, and the transition into parenthood. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care that supports not only your baby's needs, but yours as well. My goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and confident in the decisions you make for your family. As a mom of four, I know firsthand that pregnancy, feeding, recovery, and life with a new baby can be beautiful but it can also be exhausting, emotional, confusing, and sometimes incredibly lonely. So often, parents are surrounded by advice while still feeling like no one is truly caring for them. That's why I'm so passionate about this work. Whether I'm helping with feeding challenges, caring for your baby while you shower or rest, answering newborn questions, or simply offering reassurance during a difficult day, my hope is that every family I work with feels a little more cared for, a little more confident, and a lot less alone.

I am excited to connect with anyone looking to be cared for and listened to ❤️

Hey everyone! My name is Andrea and I am a birth doula serving the Tampa Bay area and surrounding communities. I came to birth work through my own pregnancy, and what I discovered changed everything. Our bodies are not just capable of birth — they are magnificently designed for it. Every contraction, every breath, every moment of labor is part of a beautifully orchestrated process that women have carried within them since the beginning of time. I believe with my whole heart that birth can and should be a powerful, peaceful, and deeply fulfilling experience. As your doula, my role is to meet you exactly where you are and walk with you every step of the way — from your first prenatal conversation to your first moments as a mother. I bring evidence-based knowledge and genuine advocacy to every birth, so that you feel informed, heard, and empowered to make the choices that are right for you and your baby. My philosophy is rooted in one truth: your body is divine, beautifully made, and fully equipped. My job is simply to remind you of that when you need it most.
