As an indigenous person working as a lactation counselor, childbirth educator, birth doula and postpartum doula I offer unique opportunities to integrate traditional practices with contemporary support.

This experience highlights that postpartum care is not one-size-fits-all model. The doula’s presence becomes a bridge between worlds-supporting modern postpartum practices while safeguarding cultural continuity. In conclusion, working with an indigenous doula ;has given me the responsibility to practice the cultural humility of my heritage, honor my traditional knowledge and provide holistic care.

Hi, I'm Carrie-Lee! A Cape Cod based Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist, Lactation Educator, and Pediatric Sleep Consultant. Yes, all in one person. Most families piece together support from multiple providers. With me you get lactation help, newborn care education, sleep foundations, and postpartum recovery support all from someone who already knows your family. One person, fully invested in you. Supporting families has always felt like second nature to me, and after raising three incredible kids of my own, there isn't much that surprises me anymore. My oldest is up in Maine working on his off-grid yurt dream. My middle kid is a junior at Keene State fully immersed in theater tech. And my youngest spent her entire freshman year studying abroad at Berklee's campus in Spain and is now heading into her sophomore year in Boston as a vocalist doing exactly what she was born to do. Every single one of them came in with their own wild, wonderful personality and raising them is the best thing I've ever done. When I'm not up late with a newborn or navigating a 3am blowout, you'll find me camping, roller skating, gardening, canning, practicing archery, or slowly working my way toward conversational Spanish. I'm laid back, calm under pressure, realistic, and I genuinely love what I do. Let's chat and see if we're a good fit!

Hi, I’m Heidi Terpening, CFSD, BPCE, founder of Azure Coast Doula. I am a maternal-child health clinician with over 27 years of nursing experience supporting individuals and families across the full continuum of care. My nursing career has taken me through NICU, labor and delivery, postpartum recovery, maternal-child health, pediatrics, community health, and school nursing. In these roles, I have supported families through routine and high-risk pregnancies, medically complex births, NICU admissions, postpartum recovery, and the many transitions that come with welcoming and caring for a new baby. These experiences have given me a deep respect for both the clinical and emotional sides of perinatal care, and a strong commitment to evidence-based practice, patient advocacy, and family-centered support. Over time, I came to understand that families often need more than medical care alone—they need continuity, reassurance, education, and someone who can help them feel grounded during moments of uncertainty. This understanding led me to full-spectrum doula work, where I now combine my clinical background with continuous emotional, physical, and educational support. Through Azure Coast Doula, I walk alongside families during pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, pregnancy loss, NICU stays, and medically complex situations. My role is to provide calm, consistent presence and clear, evidence-based information so families can feel informed, supported, and confident in their decisions. I strive to meet each family exactly where they are, honoring their unique needs, values, and experiences without judgment. In addition to doula support, I offer placenta encapsulation, newborn education, and hands-on newborn care guidance. These services are rooted in my nursing experience and are designed to ease the transition from hospital to home, helping parents feel more prepared and confident as they begin life with their new baby. The name Azure Coast Doula was inspired by the calm strength and resilience of the Adriatic coast of Croatia—a place that reflects the energy I hope to bring into every family’s experience. My work is grounded in clinical expertise, steady presence, and compassionate care, with the belief that every family deserves to feel supported, respected, and never alone in their journey. It is an honor to support families through some of life’s most meaningful and transformative moments.
