Hello! I’m Selena, a passionate postpartum doula dedicated to helping families navigate the beautiful, chaotic, and transformative days of early parenthood. I approach doula care with a bubbly, bright, and deeply nurturing energy—meaning I am just as ready to lift your spirits with a smile as I am to hold a quiet, supportive space for you when you just need to rest. My goal is to walk into your home and instantly lower the baseline stress. Whether that means preparing a nourishing snack, setting up a seamless pumping station, or simply listening to your birth story with zero judgment, I am there to ensure you feel entirely seen, safe, and cared for. The "Experienced Mom" Advantage Beyond my professional training, my deepest expertise comes from my own lived experience. I am an experienced mother to two wonderful children, aged 2 and 6. I know firsthand exactly what those early weeks feel like. I remember the sleep deprivation, the vulnerability, and the overwhelming love. Because I am currently raising a toddler and a school-aged child, I have fresh, real-world knowledge of: The delicate art of managing sibling transitions (helping older siblings feel loved and included). Practical, modern newborn soothing techniques that actually work. The realities of balancing self-care with the demands of a growing family. I don’t just bring textbook knowledge into your home; I bring real, battle-tested mother's intuition and practical wisdom. My Philosophy & Support Style I believe that the "fourth trimester" is a sacred time that deserves immense tenderness. I tailor my care entirely to your family's unique rhythm, always aiming to leave you feeling more confident than I found you. What I bring to your family: A Nurturing Presence: Calm, gentle care that allows you to let your guard down and recover physically and emotionally. Bubbly Optimism: An encouraging, positive attitude that infuses your home with warmth and reassurance, even after a long night. Practical Magic: From organizing the nursery to organizing your day, I jump in wherever hands are needed most. Services Offered Daytime postpartum adjustment and emotional check-ins. Newborn care education (swaddling, soothing, bathing). Feeding support (breastfeeding, pumping, or formula feeding guidance). Light household organization, meal prep, and sibling integration support.

​From the moment she walked through the door, Selena brought a sense of calm that instantly eased our new-parent anxiety. She has an incredible intuition for exactly what a healing mother and a newborn need. Whether she was subtly managing the household chaos, preparing nourishing meals, or offering evidence-based guidance on infant sleep and feeding, she did it all with zero judgment and a massive heart. ​What truly sets Selena apart is how she cares for the entire family unit. She didn't just take care of the baby so we could sleep (though her overnight support is pure magic); she mothered me when I needed it most, holding space for the intense emotions of the fourth trimester. ​Because of Selena, we didn’t just survive the postpartum period—we actually got to slow down, heal, and bond with our baby. She is professional, deeply knowledgeable, endlessly compassionate, and feels like family by the time her shift ends.

We had the pleasure of having Amanda as our doula and can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She was the calm and gentle presence I needed during a very long labor. She was everything I needed, from guiding my husband to know how he could help me, position changes and mental support. We also did her birth class, which was wonderfully educational and made me excited to welcome my baby into the world!

Hiring Josie from Living Water Doula Care for my second C-section was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My first C-section was an emergency and left me with significant birth trauma and anxiety that I didn’t fully understand until my second pregnancy, but then I met Josie and she completely transformed my experience. Before my C-section, she helped me process my first birth and identify where my trauma was rooted. She also helped create a calm, peaceful home for me to return to after delivery. On the day of my C-section, Josie was my anchor, and recognized my anxiety even when I tried to hide it and made sure my concerns were heard. I was terrified of the spinal, but she advocated for me with the medical team and encouraged them to explain each step, helping me feel safe and informed. Her calming presence changed the entire atmosphere of the room. She also supported my partner, a first-time dad, helping him feel included and at ease. After surgery, I experienced intense pain, and Josie continued to show up for me, even coming to the hospital in the middle of the night. She helped me manage my pain through breathing techniques, physical comfort, and emotional support. When I felt overwhelmed after being moved to a smaller room, she once again advocated for me and helped me feel safe. Coming home was just as meaningful. Josie had prepared my space, making it feel warm, peaceful, and restorative. Her postpartum care helped me slow down, release guilt, and focus on healing. Josie doesn’t just support birth—she honors it. She didn’t just support me through my C-section; she helped me heal from past trauma. Before hiring her, I wasn’t sure a doula was necessary for a C-section. Now I can confidently say it was one of the most important decisions I’ve ever made. Because of Josie, I no longer fear growing my family, and I’m forever grateful for the role she played in my healing journey.

Greetings, I’m passionate about supporting families as a doula. I’m a proud mom to one lovely little girl who inspires me every day. My journey into birth work began with a deep desire to help others feel seen, heard, and empowered during life’s most intimate moments. I graduated from Virginia State University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, but I found my true calling in the world of birth and postpartum care. Those who know me would describe me as genuine, warm, and incredibly attentive to the needs of others. I believe in holding space with compassion and providing thoughtful, personalized care to each family I serve. Being a doula allows me to combine my nurturing spirit with my commitment to making a positive impact in people’s lives.

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better doula. From the very beginning, she made me feel heard, supported, and respected. She always took the time to answer my questions, reassure me, and help me feel confident in the decisions I made for my birth. During labor and delivery, she was such a calming presence. She advocated for me when needed, encouraged me every step of the way, and helped me stay focused through one of the most important days of my life. I never felt alone because I knew she was there for me. Even after my baby was born, her support didn’t stop. She continued to check in on me and made sure both my baby and I were doing well. Her kindness, knowledge, and genuine care meant more to me than words can express. If you’re looking for someone who will truly support you, empower you, and make you feel cared for throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She helped make my birth experience so much more positive, and I’ll always be grateful for everything she did for me. Thank you for being such an incredible part of our journey!

If you are on the fence about including Bridgette in your birth and postpartum journey, let this be your sign to absolutely do it. As a first time mom, she provided care and love for me and my family in ways I didn’t even know I needed. She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes a team based approach in every decision. I had no qualms or hesitations about placing my trust in her because at the end of the day I knew she had my back all the way from her birth/breastfeeding classes to every step throughout labor. Although my birth experience did not go the way we had planned, I wouldn’t be able to look back at my experience as positively as I do if not for her. She genuinely felt like a big sister and best friend throughout the whole experience. Even my husband, as he recounts our birth experience, sings her high praises and felt incredibly supported by her as well. Because of her, he even goes around telling new parents that they have to get a Doula because of how amazing Bridgette was. I genuinely feel like we were meant to cross paths and now my life and experience as a parent is better because of her. Seriously, she’s amazing. You would be remiss not to have her on your team.

Tara was our doula during pregnancy and childbirth and let me just say, I’ve gained a lifelong friend, first. She was absolutely amazing! Not only is she caring/nurturing, she knows her stuff. She always offered solutions and was one call away whenever I had questions/concerns. During pregnancy she met with us for prenatal visits & I loved most that she didn’t just care about me and my well-being, she got to know my husband as well! She catered to the FAMILY needs and not just mommy! During birth, man where do I even begin. She was amazing and I truly don’t know what me or my husband would’ve done without her there. It was our first time and she coached us BOTH through it and we all got milkshakes after haha but I didn’t sign up for postpartum services, but as blessings would have it, I ended up overpaying and was able to get about 5 hours of PP help and MY GOODNESS, Tara was sent by God and you’re not going to tell me otherwise! She washed bottles & pump parts, she COMPLETELY REORGANIZED my nursery to make it most efficient for us and that took a HUGE weight off of my shoulder. She washed clothes for us and everything. Mind you, all of this was while actively asking questions about our well-being and overall health. I wouldn’t trade her for the world and as we call her “Titi Tara” is the best and if I should be blessed to have more children, I would do the journey with Tara a million times again!!!

I can't thank Savannah enough for her incredible support throughout my pregnancy journey. From the moment I told her about my pregnancy , she provided invaluable guidance on creating a birth plan tailored to my preferences and needs. Her knowledge on postpartum healing and breastfeeding was a game-changer, offering practical tips and emotional support every step of the way.One of the most impactful aspects of her care was the open discussions we had about circumcision. She provided thorough information and empowered me to make an informed decision that felt right for our family. Her compassionate approach and wealth of expertise made all the difference during such a significant time in our lives. Savannah is a beacon of authenticity in a world often clouded by conformity. I highly recommend Savannah to any expecting parent seeking personalized, supportive care. Forever grateful for her guidance and wisdom.

We had an amazing experience having Grace as our doula! She carries herself with confidence and joy as she helped us navigate preparation and birth. Grace always made herself available to me as a first time mom who had lots of questions. She was quick to respond and willing to help me learn! I think one of the many blessings from Grace, was that in our delivery room she created a really peaceful and beautiful environment by setting up a diffuser and candle lights in the room! Grace was a really valuable part of our first birth experience!

Hiring her as both my birth and postpartum doula was one of the BEEESTT decisions I made for my family. From the very first meeting, she made me feel truly heard, respected, and supported. Throughout my pregnancy and labor, she honored every decision I made, kept me informed every step of the way, and brought a calm, steady presence that helped me feel safe and comfortable, even in the most intense moments. After our daughter arrived, she cared for her with so much love and tenderness. I trusted her completely from day one and never hesitated to ask her anything. She's warm, easy to talk to, and never once made me feel judged. She's incredibly knowledgeable, deeply kind, and the definition of professional. I'm endlessly grateful she was part of such a special, life-changing time for us. If you're looking for a birth doula, a postpartum doula, or support with anything in between, look no further. You'll be in the best hands.💛

Bernadett has a sweet and vibrant personality. She has been a delight to work with. As a new mom, I truly appreciated how her wisdom, passion and gentleness brings comfort and grounding to my new family. She supported my family and I through online consultations and product recommendations, both pre and post natal. It was so helpful to have her insight and experience in preparation and during the newborn trenches and beyond. I would highly recommend her, and give a 10/10 stars for her services. She provides invaluable feedback and is a wealth of knowledge.
