Ruth Wallace-Williams

32 years of experience

Ruth, originally from Jamaica, is a dedicated professional working in her community to directly impact the lives of young children and their families. She is a G. R. O. W trained doula extending her expertise as a traveling doula across central Florida. With a comprehensive skill set, Ruth provides invaluable support to create a positive prenatal experience where her clients feel seen and empowered. Ruth’s naturally calming presence, unique ability to blend emotional and physical support with practical advice, empathy and kindness is why she’s known as a “Soul Rebel for Serenity”. Ruth has a deep commitment to inclusion ensuring no birthing person feels alone during the most profound, magical experience.

Where do I begin…… If there’s one thing The Most High will do is cover HIS daughters I must say I couldn’t have asked for a better doula. I didn’t expect I was going to actually obtain a doula so last minute (8 months) within my pregnancy but also one that understood my birth plan. Ruth made it her business to support me in my boundaries set for medical care when possible changes had arised within the delivery. She is beyond helpful and knowledgeable in this field of care and made me feel comfortable and confident to bring in my first born son with her unconditional support. Never would I have imagined her to be able to be there for the 36 hrs of delivery but she was intentionally in ensuring my bonus daughter was tended to throughout those hours and I was cared for properly following within delivery and following his birth. Although the staff within hospital were very unbecoming with Ruth and the support of my family I couldn’t have asked for a better birth experience and it’s genuinely was because of her attentiveness to my care and the care of my son without any hesitation to tell staff what I needed when I needed it. I pray for every birth of my children in future in able to have her there to support me. Much love and respect for her purpose in this difficult field of care. I would recommend her 1000% over and over again. Ruth is a phenomenal woman and I’m so beyond thankful I was able share my birth experience with her ♥️

Dayna Martin

20 years of experience

Doula, Midwife, Lactation Consultant and Childbirth Educator who offers empowered support for mothers through all stages of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—offered with intuition, peace, and reverence for the sacredness of motherhood.

The only word that comes to mind when I think of Dayna is Grateful. She is truly the reason I was able to give birth and deliver our daughter in the way that aligned with us. Our first child's delivery did not happen in the way we wanted even with top natural health and birthing experts in the Miami area and during my second pregnancy we did not know what to do or except. After finding Dayna she helped us work through fears we didn't even realize we had. During the Labor experience she was there guiding us the whole way. As someone who has a hard time trusting anyone I completely trusted her guidance and felt safe having her there with us. This woman knows what she is doing, has more knowledge and experience than anyone i've come across and is an honest keeper of the ancient experience of birth and raising children the way god intended. Just stop, look no further and hire Dayna to help you along your parenting journey, no matter where it begins!

Payton Kaar

5 years of experience

Hi, I’m Payton I’m a full spectrum doula who supports families through fertility, birth, postpartum, abortion, and loss. My heart work is helping women step into their innate power and knowledge so they can birth confidently and autonomously. In postpartum, I find joy in nurturing and nourishing mama so she can focus on healing and rediscovering herself. My goal is to bring back community care, traditional healing practices, and ancient wisdom.

We were so fortunate to have Payton with us during our triplet girls’ first year of life. She began as our overnight doula when they were newborns and later transitioned into their full-time nanny while we worked. Caring for three babies at once is no small task, yet Payton handled it with consistency, dependability, and so much love. She has a calm, soft-spoken presence that was incredibly comforting in those early months. Her experience with newborns truly stood out as she seemed to know exactly what each baby needed and provided the highest level of care. Beyond caring for the girls, she also kept our kitchen tidy and made sure supplies were always stocked, which lifted a huge weight off our shoulders as new parents. What stood out most was the joy Payton clearly took in caring for the girls, and how much they adored her in return. The bond she formed with them was so special, and we always felt complete peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. We are deeply grateful for her support during such an important season of our lives and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Lindsay Czaja

5 years of experience

Hello, my name is Lindsay Czaja and I am a certified birth doula in and around Stuart, FL. I have been a doula for little over 3 years and I am also a mother who has experienced a birth center vaginal brith, cesarean brith to twins, and soon to be home VBAC. My purpose in the birth world is to give space and advocate for every birth according the mother's desires. I firmly believe that we as women were perfectly created to give birth, yet I also understand that birth has become a fearful or even traumatic experience for some. As a doula, my desire is to help you not only fee confident in knowing that you can birth your baby, but that it can be done in whatever way you feel safe and at peace. My role as a doula is not to take the place of or away from your birth partner, but to educate and encourage them in helping the mother to do exactly as she was created to do. There will never be enough words to describe the joy that comes in watching not only a child be born, but also a mother and a father.

Lindsay was very knowledgable and provided many different solutions to symptoms I was experiencing during my pregnancy. The days leading up to, and while I was in labor, she provided a calm and reassuring atmosphere that contributed to a successful birth as a first time mom.
