I am a Certified Postpartum Doula with a strong background in newborn and infant care. I currently work with Chicago Family Doulas, providing overnight newborn support to families during the early postpartum period. My experience includes bottle feeding, diapering, sleep monitoring, soothing, newborn routines, bottle cleaning, baby laundry, and creating a calm overnight environment for both baby and parents. Before becoming a postpartum doula, I worked for several years in childcare settings as an infant and toddler teacher, where I gained hands-on experience supporting children’s development, routines, emotional needs, and early milestones. My care style is gentle, dependable, and family centered. I believe in respecting each family’s preferences while offering gentle, professional support that helps parents feel more confident, rested, and cared for.

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.

I’m Seyi. I have over 15 years of childcare experience in a variety of settings such as a babysitter, nanny, teacher, and now birth and postpartum doula. I am passionate about the field of birth work. After witnessing and hearing about many of the difficulties and abuse of power in hospital settings, my passion for helping people navigate these settings was ignited. It is impossible to guarantee a “perfect birth” but I believe that you should have the opportunity to be prepared for whatever may or may not happen. This includes being aware of medical interventions, having the best people for you in your birthing space, establishing and enforcing necessary boundaries, and ultimately doing the best for you! Childbirth is a beautiful process that is both natural and spiritual.

Hi I am Maggie, a registered nurse with NICU experience for last two years! I love working with newborns and their families to help them with their journey in parenthood!

I am a Chicago-based full spectrum doula and lactation counselor. I have a Master’s in Public Health and have a focus on prevention and evidence-based practice.

Together, in an environment free of judgment, I work with my clients to help ease the transition into different phases of their reproductive lives.

Hey! I’m Darnicia, a full-spectrum doula, birth mindset educator, and reproductive justice advocate. TL;DR From organizing protests and fighting for social justice to shutting down systemic abuse, violence, and oppression in the medicalized perinatal care system. My passion? Teaching incredible birthing people — like you — how to trust your intuition❤️‍🔥 and advocate for your autonomy,🗣️ so you feel ✨empowered to be the authority of all your reproductive experiences✨ — fertility to postpartum (or not being pregnant at all). 👀 A little more info… To me, birthwork is inherently linked to social justice and activism. Birthwork is advocacy, and advocacy follows you through every aspect of your life. Therefore, advocacy isn’t something you learn; it’s who you are. I’ve taken what I’ve learned in my years as a social justice organizer and have applied it to birthwork. Sometimes, the fight for my clients to have the reproductive outcomes they desire mirrors the intensity I’ve seen when organizing for human rights. When necessary, I use the same energy it takes to shut down streets and apply it to protect my clients’ experience. What does this mean for you? I have the heart and the skills to fight for your dream birth or whatever support you need. But no worries, I’ll only fight to whatever extent you need or are comfortable with. ☺️ The foundation of the doula role is about the person you are. I am an advocate. Fun facts: I’m a wife and Mom of two. I’m a HUGE Marvel/MCU fan. I L😍VE Thai Iced Tea and mushroom coffee 🍄☕.

Your body, your baby, your choices. It is always an honor to support a family through one of life’s most precious and sacred transformations and I do not take that lightly.
