About me

Hey everyone! My name is Coni and I am a Certified Birth Doula located in Polk County, Florida. I'm married and have 3 crazy kiddos. I was also a surrogate and had Belly Buddy on February 3rd, 2024. I have always been interested in birth. My mom used to teach childbirth classes at the hospital when I was little, and I always loved going with her. I got pregnant at 17 and had to deliver at a birthing center due to financial reasons. I was TERRIFIED to give birth without any medications. Long story short I did it and I felt so empowered! This is when my passion grew even stronger about birth and learning the truths behind it. I ended up having my other 2 kids at the same birthing center because I fell in love with it. I had my first hospital birth with Belly Buddy and that was a new experience that I was able to grow my knowledge in. I would love to be your Doula and help empower you. It’s amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it, are prepared mentally and physically for birth and have the right support system.

Service introduction

With my Birth Package, you will receive two prenatal visits. During the first visit, we will begin creating your birth plan, which I like to refer to as "Birth Suggestions." This session will help us discuss how you envision your birth experience. In the second visit, we will finalize your birth plan and practice various comfort measures. You will also have full access to my phone and email for any questions or resources you may need. I will attend your birth at the onset of active labor and stay until delivery. After the birth, I can remain for some time to ensure you are doing well and to assist with any questions you may have, including support with latching and basic breastfeeding. A few days after the birth, I will come for a postpartum visit. During this visit, I will check in on how you are doing, discuss your birth experience, provide any necessary resources, and give you a small gift to show my support. I'll make sure that everything and everyone is doing well.
