Hello everyone! I am a full spectrum doula and I currently have availability to take on birth clients. I am very passionate about working with birthing people and babies. I received my full spectrum doula certification from Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings in 2023 and I have been supporting families in this period of life for years. My experience is in doula care, infant day-care settings, nannying, non-profit work, and milk banking. My long term goal is to have an impact on marginalized communities. Doula care, especially support during the postpartum period, is seen as a luxury to many people, because it has become more inaccessible. I aim to serve all families and parents, especially those that are not always able to get the care that they need. I am also a certified breastfeeding specialist. Please check out my website here: https://www.fallingwaterdoulaservices.com. You can also email me at fallingwaterdoula@gmail.com. Thank you so much!

Hi, I'm Allison. I am the owner and founder of Holistic Birth & Beyond. I am a birth & postpartum doula, childbirth & lactation educator, reiki practitioner and birth story mentor. For me, my passion lies with empowering and supporting families on their pregnancy, birth and postpartum journeys. The entire perinatal timeframe is so much more than baby registries, maternity photos and nursery painting. This is a time of transition. This chapter will transform you into a new parent and a new version of yourself. We aren't meant to navigate this alone; that's where our team comes in. Providing warmth and unconditional love for parents, newborns and the family as a whole is an honor. Being part of such a vulnerable, intimate experience is extraordinary and something I truly cherish. I live in Goffstown, NH with my family. When I'm not at a birth or meeting with clients & colleagues, you can find me spending time with my family, friends and houseplants.

I am a skilled and sought after clinical social worker. I have my masters degree in social work and have been working with children, adolescents and families for over 15 years.

I have an eclectic approach to treatment, meaning that I believe there is no one way to heal and grow. I enjoy sharing ideas and resources with clients. This can include traditional talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), working with family members, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, Reiki healing, collaborating with other professionals to support clients in their care - and so much more!

I identify as a cis, white, heterosexual female and use she/her pronouns.

Hi my name is Jess. I have always known that my gift is to help others heal. Being a doula is a manifestation of that. Birth work is a direct response to the injustice and disparities experienced by BIPOC in the US. And we all have the power to change that narrative. ​​ I look forward to healing with you.
