Hi! I’m Abby, I’m a DONA International trained birth doula. I’m new to the doula name but not to birth and supporting other moms through an exiting new season. I’ve always been interested in pregnancy and birth but really started researching in my own pregnancies. Through supporting my friends and family in their labors and deliveries I became more and more excited to put my passions into action. I enjoy following my clients lead and leaning into whichever version of care they feel is best for them. Be that an all natural birth, scheduled induction or something in between.

With this in mind, I offer not just physical support during birth but also emotional and spiritual guidance to help you navigate this incredible journey. Through my practice, Sacred Divine Femininity, I aim to empower women and families to embrace their innate strength and wisdom. I believe that every birth is unique and should be honored as such, and I am here to support you in achieving the birth experience that aligns with your values and desires. I am here to listen, to support, hold your hand and to guide you every step of the way. Together, we will create a birthing experience that is filled with purpose, love, and meaning.

Hello, I’m Laporcha And Birth work was called to me after my mother passed away. In that moment, I realized she would no longer be there to comfort me, advocate for me, or welcome another child into this world by my side. She would never have the opportunity to be my doula. So, I became one. I became a birth doula for those who need to be seen and heard. For those who have lost their support systems. For those who fear they won't have the beautiful birth experience they dream of. For those whose voices have been silenced but whose hearts have so much to say. For those whose trauma feels louder than their strength. For those who struggle to advocate for themselves. And for the first-time mother who is terrified of walking into motherhood alone. I bring all of me into this work—my own birth experiences, my fears, my healing, my trauma, my gifts, my compassion, and my knowledge. Those pieces have shaped the doula I am today. My mother was the roots of our family. She was our safe place, our strength, and the one who nurtured everyone around her. Though she is no longer here physically, her love continues to grow through me. That is why I chose the name Mello Roots. I will water her legacy through every birth I attend. I will stand beside mothers the way she would have stood beside me. Every mother I support and every baby I welcome becomes another branch on a tree that continues to grow from love, resilience, and community. My hope is that every family I serve leaves knowing they never had to walk this journey alone. Together, we create a village—one birth, one mother, one baby at a time. – Mello Roots LLC Laporcha M.

My name is Ekaterina Mariposa. I am a birth doula, perinatal psychologist, and lactation consultant with 10 years of doula practice and 13 years working as a psychologist. I work in Spain, Georgia, and internationally — online and in person. My clients are often navigating birth in an unfamiliar country, culture, or language — and I know that experience firsthand. I have lived across continents, and my practice grew from that intercultural reality. I speak English, Russian, and Spanish, and I bring both clinical training and deep personal understanding to every birth I attend. My role is not to lead, but to walk alongside — holding space for whatever this birth becomes. Here on Bornbir I am presenting my services online to support you remotely - if you live in the U.S. or Canada, and in person if you are in Europe.
