My name is Aonya’. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse and CPR Certified aspiring to become a doula. Right now I am on my journey as a postpartum nurse looking to help new mothers. I am offering a free service right now to all new mothers who could use extra support. Please check out my website just to get to know a little more about myself. Anyone interested can contact me. From a young age, I have always had a deep love for babies. I spent my childhood caring for my doll babies, feeding, changing, and nurturing them. At just four years old, I eagerly rushed home from school to catch episodes of "A Baby Story," captivated by the journey of new parenthood. My passion for maternal care led me to begin volunteering at Saint Francis Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware, at the age of 14, where I worked in the postpartum unit, stocked supplies, and had the joy of seeing newborns in the nursery. I knew early on that I wanted to become a nurse. I began my healthcare journey as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), providing compassionate care to seniors in nursing homes and assisted living facilities for over 12 years. After getting married and becoming a mother of two, I experienced firsthand the challenges of postpartum life. I can remember shortly after giving birth not having that huge support system around. I often found myself in need of support and guidance and had I known about this care earlier on it would of relieved me of so many challenges I faced. Once my children were old enough for daycare, I decided to pursue my LPN license, graduating during the challenging times of COVID-19. I began working in home healthcare, focusing on pediatrics, and had the privilege of caring for several newborns as a nurse.Throughout my journey, I’ve supported many families, especially single mothers, and have heard countless stories that have deepened my understanding of the unique challenges they face. In 2025, I took my skills to the next level by becoming a postpartum concierge nurse. With over 20 years of experience in the healthcare industry, I am dedicated to providing personalized postpartum services to mothers. I understand that the transition to motherhood can be overwhelming, filled with a whirlwind of emotions and uncertainties. That’s why I am here—to offer not only my clinical expertise but also the support and reassurance you need during this precious time. My goal is to help you feel safe and secure as you navigate this new chapter of your life. I am committed to alleviating your concerns and providing the extra help you deserve, allowing you to focus on bonding with your baby. You deserve to be pampered and supported, and I will be with you every step of the way, ensuring you receive the compassionate care you need. Sincerely, Aonya’ Porter LPN

Rachel is a godsend!!! This is my second child, so I thought breastfeeding would be “easy”. But this breastfeeding journey has thrown every type of hurdle at us. Rachel has been our biggest supporter throughout every challenge - helping us navigate ties, bottle refusal, mastitis, low weight gain, low supply. I was able to build my supply up and establish a good breastfeeding rhythm that supports my baby and myself all through Rachel’s guidance. Her knowledge and research on breastfeeding guidelines is outstanding, yet her approach is far from clinical. Her demeanor is warm and inviting, and she always makes sure to check in on how we’re doing overall, not just from a feeding perspective. I truly do not know where I would be in my breastfeeding journey or postpartum without her, and I’m so grateful to have to opportunity to work with her.

When I found out I was pregnant, the thought of having a doula never crossed my mind. It seemed a little bougie for me, but when my doctor left the practice, I started to think about it. It was the best decision I made. At our first meeting, we went over my birth plan. Julie gave me things to work on at home, but she also came back another time to make sure I knew how to do those exercises. She was always checking in, and she always answered right away when I had questions throughout my pregnancy. When I (finally) went into labor, I was texting Julie in the middle of the night while I left my husband sleep. She came over later in the morning and I labored at home as long as I could. Julie had me doing all kinds on different movements and exercises to naturally progress labor because my plan was to go without an epidural (spoiler:I did not make it ha). My labor at the hospital was longer than I anticipated, and Julie never left my side. When I caved and got the epidural, she continued to help me with body positioning to try to progress labor without drugs. She spent 2 nights in the hospital with us. I finally delivered a baby girl and it was a beautiful moment. But just when Julie probably thought she was home free to go home to her bed my placenta would not deliver. I was rushed to the OR and my husband was left with our baby, terrified and confused. Julie did not leave his side. When I returned to recovery but clearly still having issues, Julie called my parents for my husband and did not leave his side until she met my parents and they basically forced her to go home and get some rest. I was in the hospital for 10 days and Julie was in constant communication with my husband to check on me. When I came home, she was one of the first people I wanted to see. If you're on the fence about hiring Julie, stop thinking and just do it. Not only will Julie make you feel more prepared and relaxed going into labor, but you will come out feeling like she's family.

I cannot recommend Dorian enough! She provided my prenatal care during my first pregnancy, and from the very beginning, I felt supported, educated, and genuinely cared for. She took the time to answer questions, ease concerns, and ensure I felt confident throughout my pregnancy journey. What stands out most is her calming presence and compassionate heart. She has a way of making you feel heard and empowered while providing exceptional guidance and advocacy. Her knowledge and experience are invaluable, but it’s her kindness and dedication that truly make a difference. Even after my baby was born, she remained available and present during the postpartum period, offering support, reassurance, and encouragement when I needed it most. Knowing I had someone I trusted to turn to during both pregnancy and postpartum brought me so much peace of mind. She goes above and beyond for the families she serves, and I am incredibly grateful for the care, support, and genuine compassion she has shown me. Any family would be lucky to have Dorian as part of their birth and postpartum journey.
