How Much Does a Midwife Cost in Chicopee, MA?

My name is Kayla Brookins, and I'm a birth and postpartum doula and peer lactation counselor. I have been studying and preparing for birth work since 2017, and I feel deeply called to this work! I'm a deep believer in physiologic birth, that nobody knows better than you how to birth your baby. My role as your doula is to help you tap into that place of deepest knowing so that you enter your birthplace feeling completely empowered and move into the postpartum period prepared for rest and trusting your ability to parent.

I am a self made business. My dream is to help low income people become families

I trained with Michelle L'Esperance-Muñoz and Warm Welcome Doula Academy in western Massachusetts in and participated in BORN Collective's doula mentoring program in the SF Bay Area in Summer 2024 .

Additional influences for me as a birthworker include Ina May Gaskin, Dr. Rebecca Dekker (Evidence-Based Birth), Our Bodies, Ourselves, Liam Kali (Maia Midwifery & Fertility), Sabia Wade (Birthing Liberation) and Prentis Hemphill (What It Takes to Heal) I am a white, upper-middle class, well-educated out lesbian woman and part of the disability community. My interests besides birthwork include architecture and design, enjoying western Massachusetts and the San Francisco Bay Area's beautiful natural landscapes, and quality time with people and animals I love. Authenticity flows through my birthwork and enhances my capacity to understand and connect with people. I provide embodied, mindful, compassionate, knowledgeable accompaniment and witness for families of all kinds, including solo birthing people and those with existing support from a partner and birth team. I am especially excited to work with LGBTQ+ and disabled clients, along with families anticipating bringing a disabled kiddo into the world. Disability can be a positively transformative experience and one I am well-equipped to support pregnant people and their partners through.

Hi, I'm Rachel - a certified postpartum and birth Doula (CBI)! Rooted in a lifelong background in healthcare, empathy and compassion have shaped who I am for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been the one people turn to: the steady listener, the voice of reason, and the person who shows up without judgment during life’s most vulnerable moments. Becoming a Doula felt like coming home. It allowed me to bring together my healthcare experience and my natural calling to support families with presence, compassion, and steadiness. Described as a calm, soothing energy and a "baby whisperer" by clients, I offer a warm and comforting presence that the whole family can lean on. I’m honored to support clients as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and life with a new baby. My role is to be your steady presence and a source of reassurance, evidence-based guidance, emotional support, and calm in moments of uncertainty.

Hi, and welcome to Wholehearted Welcome. I’m Karen—but you’re more than welcome to call me Nana. I’m a mother of three—twins born by C-section and a daughter lovingly welcomed through adoption—and a proud grandmother of five, including one cherished bonus grandchild. I’m currently working toward my certification through Mama Glow, and I offer birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum support, along with sibling prep when needed. I come to this work as an elder, a world citizen, and someone who shows up with open arms, a full heart, and a deep belief that birth is a sacred journey. I’m the kind of doula who jumps in with both feet—ready to hold space, advocate, laugh with you, cry with you, and do what needs to be done. Whether you’re parenting solo, welcoming through adoption, or finding your way as a new family, I create a warm, steady, and wholehearted space where you’ll feel supported every step of the way.

Hello! I’m an L&D nurse turned Birth and Postpartum Doula serving Connecticut. I love to help my clients navigate the hospital system. I use my medical background to help my clients navigate low or high risk pregnancies, VBACs and twins. I'd love to support you!

As a certified postpartum doula and certified lactation counselor since 2022, I have guided dozens of families as they've grown their families. Birth and new parenthood can be unpredictable, and I am here as a trusted resource to help you navigate the experience. I believe that each family's journey is deeply personal — shaped by individual circumstances, values, and needs — and that as a result there is no single "right" way to navigate new parenthood. My goal is to provide unbiased, evidence-informed guidance so that parents can confidently make decisions that feel right for them, whatever they may be. I’m honored to be a part of such a personal and intimate experience for the clients I serve. In my free time I enjoy long walks my dog, Frank, cooking up a storm for friends, and tending to my garden. Prior to becoming a doula, I received my BA in modern Middle Eastern history from Yale University and worked in political and nonprofit consulting.

Hello everyone! my name is Amanda, & I have been working in childcare for over 5 years. I obtained my associate degree in early childhood education in 2021 and my doula certifications through the International Doula Institute in 2023. I have worked in various environments including an in-home daycare, a childcare center, and the homes of personal nanny clients. I chose to pursue doula work because of my innate drive to support others and provide the needed assistance to empower families in their abilities. I am beginning to create and grow my doula business and I look forward to connecting with families around my community! I have a calm and reserved personality type which allows space for everyone to be seen and heard. Outside of doula work, I enjoy working on sewing projects, home improvements, and visiting with family!

Birth never gets old to me. It’s always beautiful, surprising and full of hope and promise. Over 23 years of being a doula, I’ve seen so many amazing people become parents and new babies join us- some of whom are grownup now! My philosophy is that, you know yourself, and I believe in your ability to make the choices that are best for you and your family at your birth- my goal is to support you during the process, answer questions, help you make informed decisions when presented with unexpected circumstances and help with practical solutions to issues such as a baby who isn’t in an optimal position, social/emotional issues and needs, supporting your partner and other children and animals and more. I bring tens of thousands of hours of time spent with people in labor worth of knowledge to you and your birth, and whatever you choose- epidural, unmedicated, induction, cesarean, etc makes no difference to me, I will support you through whatever you choose, help you achieve your very best outcome and make sure you are safe and validated throughout. You are all my life’s work, and I’m grateful to be trusted with your care.

My name is Lilly Serrano, I am a bilingual (Spanish) birth doula from CT. I am engaged to an amazing partner, and a mama to a beautiful daughter and two fur babies. I was raised around a village of empowering women and mothers, and that is all I ever aspired to be in life. I am here to remind expecting mamas that they can achieve anything and everything they set their minds to, and hopefully make that journey feel a little less overwhelming along the way!

Although I didn’t know it then, my journey towards becoming a doula began nearly 15 years ago with the birth of my first child. My labor and birth experience was far from empowering and while I was overjoyed to have my son, I always wished things had gone differently- that I had been listened to when I tried to assert myself, that I had been given alternative pain management options when I said I didn’t want an epidural, that the nurses and doctors had explained what they were doing and given me choices before just going ahead and doing it. I always wished that I had felt more in control in that delivery room. Flash forward 14 years to the birth of my second child, and things went exactly as I could have hoped for largely in part due to the team of amazing people I chose to surround myself with. I switched to a Midwife group that took the time to listen to me and honor all of my wishes; I chose a birthing center where I knew I would have plenty of options, but still have the safety and security of a hospital and NICU nearby should something go wrong; and I hired my doula! She made me feel safe, secure, listened to, and protected. She was there as my advocate (though I never had to use her as such because my Midwife was so amazing), she was there as a shoulder to lean on, and she made sure my wife and I had all that we needed during my labor and the birth of my daughter. Between kiddo number one and kiddo number two, a lot happened- 14 years worth of happenings! During that time in-between, I owned and operated Bloom Yoga Fitness Studios in Southington, CT. I taught thousands of hours of yoga- hundreds of them to pregnant clients. And I also became a Licensed Massage Therapist certified in Pregnancy Massage. My personal birth experiences, my decade of yoga teaching, my time as a massage therapist all led me to where I am today. I am now a Birth Doula working with clients in Hartford, New Haven and Middlesex counties. I still teach yoga and perform massage and you’ll see many of my doula offerings include yoga, meditation, and massage. I am passionate about birthing people making informed choices that feel right for them and it’s an honor to standby my clients as they take the amazing journey that is labor and birth.

Ruby White has been a certified full spectrum doula for 8 years. She completed the in-person portion of her certification in Brooklyn, NY with Doula Trainings International (DTI). Serving birthing people and their partners as they go through the major life transition of becoming parents has been her joy since 2018. Her goal is for parents to feel empowered in the entirety of their experience – to be able to ask for the support they desire and to receive it while trusting their body’s ability and the physiological process of birth. Ruby’s strength as a doula is her empathetic, holistic, and inclusive approach, as well as her versatility. She has served families in all types of birth scenarios – hospital, birth center, homebirth, with medication and without. As a doula, her deepest wish is that all patients receive comprehensive and compassionate maternal healthcare, as well as hands on comfort measures and a nourishing presence in their birthing and postpartum spaces. Whether she is providing massage and hip squeezes in labor or assisting with the first latch of breastfeeding - she is honored to be present for every step of the journey. She will always advocate for your birthing preferences to be respected and is committed to showing up with a kind ear, an open heart, and caring hands to serve new families and their babies. Above all, she will hold space for your birth to feel beautiful, safe, intimate, and sacred, always with a dash of humor! When she is off duty, she enjoys singing, acting, writing poetry, being in nature/with animals, and spending time with her family.
