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 ♥️

Samantha Greenleaf

Hi mama, I’m Sam. I’m a pregnancy, labor, and postpartum doula—and a former labor & delivery nurse—so I’ve supported women through both the clinical and deeply personal sides of birth. I know how overwhelming this season can feel. The questions, the unknowns, the “am I doing this right?” thoughts that come up when you’re trying to make the best decisions for you and your baby. My role is to help you feel informed, grounded, and supported every step of the way—whether that means advocating for your preferences, helping you navigate the unexpected, or simply being a calm, steady presence when you need it most. This is your birth, your postpartum, your experience—and you deserve to feel confident and cared for through all of it. I’m here for you 🤍

Sam, from the Zen mama Collective is awesome she guided me through every step of both of my pregnancies before and after both of daughters were born.Samantha really enjoys giving her all and goes above and beyond to guide and support her client before and after giving birth. She has a calming and loving Spirit and really makes you feel calm .It was more like she was a very caring and attentive best friend!!!! I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know who is pregnant!!

Cari Treadway

5 years of experience

Hello! I am a birth and postpartum doula in Volusia County and servicing within a 50 mile radius. I got started in the birth community after the birth of my daughter. I had a wonderful experience, in part due to the wonderful midwives who attended me throughout my pregnancy and labor, as well as the postpartum doula who came to my home at 2 in the morning to help me with her when I was losing my sanity. These experiences made me want to give to other women, and I found my way into doula work. It has been the most rewarding work I have ever done, and I love doing it. Outside of my work, I spend time with my daughter and my partner, I enjoy reading and playing video games, and I have two cats and a leopard gecko. I have a Facebook page for my business where I regularly post at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069593215044&mibextid=ZbWKwL

I can't begin to say enough good things about Cari. From the moment we first began messaging, to our first meeting, all the way up to the amazing unmedicated birth of our second daughter. We are not strangers to an unmedicated birth, as that is what we did with our first daughter, but Cari helped make the experience with our second not only even better but much calmer and secure all around. Cari was informative in not just the potential outcomes of the birth we WANTED, but she made sure to take the time to cover what-if scenarios. What we were looking for in a Doula was someone who was willing to take the time to get to know us well before baby #2 was born, but also someone with a kind vibe/aura (IYKYK), who could advise us on some additional labor coping movements and massage/pressure points, and she did all of the above plus more. If we have another baby, she will undoubtedly be our Doula again. I genuinely recommend her on all levels. Even after our daughter was born, she stayed with us in the birth center for hours until I felt well and recovered enough for her to leave us (and this was past 1 am). She captured some absolutely precious, beautiful, and raw photos of our birth, on top of doing a newborn photoshoot for us. Themed and set where we wanted, yet again surpassing all expectations. She includes postpartum support as well, and she is so sweet when she came for her postpartum visit, she brought a batch of the most AMAZING lactation cookies ever (and might I say they sure worked for me!!). Cari will undoubtedly take the time to listen and form a plan that you want while informing you of all possibilities and taking care of you like a member of her own family, honestly. And who doesn't love a fellow nerd? Look no further. She IS the doula for you. THIS is the sign you're looking for.

Hi, I’m Taby, a Christian birth doula serving families with faith-filled, compassionate support through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. My heart is to walk alongside mothers and families with prayer, encouragement, education, and hands-on support as they prepare for one of the most sacred seasons of their lives.

I cannot recommend Taby enough! From the moment we met, she made me feel heard, supported, and completely at ease. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted for my birth and made sure I felt informed and empowered every step of the way. When labor began, Taby was incredible. She stayed calm, encouraging, and attentive, helping me manage contractions with different comfort measures, constant reassurance, and unwavering support. She also helped my partner feel confident and involved throughout the experience, which meant so much to both of us. Her advocacy was invaluable. She helped me communicate with my medical team, reminded me of my birth preferences, and gave me the confidence to make decisions that felt right for me. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner the entire time. More than anything, Taby made me feel safe, respected, and strong. Her kindness, knowledge, and genuine passion for supporting families shine through in everything she does. Looking back, I honestly can’t imagine my birth without her. If you’re looking for a doula who will support you wholeheartedly, advocate for you, and make you feel empowered throughout your pregnancy, labor, and birth, Taby is the one. She exceeded every expectation I had, and I will forever be grateful for everything she did for our family.

Sizzly was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and with a lot of experience which made me feel she is very trustworthy and that my home birth was in great hands.

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.

Hi! I'm Gabriella, and I’m passionate about supporting women and families through their fertility, pregnancy, labor, and motherhood journeys. My path to becoming a doula began in 2014 after my own empowering birth experience with my first child. Inspired, I became a certified childbirth educator through the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth and discovered my deep passion for women’s health and well-being. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to support families in various ways—whether teaching childbirth education, offering lactation consulting, or even serving as a virtual doula in moments of need. My own birth experiences have shaped my practice. From a beautiful birth center delivery to navigating an unexpected emergency C-section, and finally achieving my VBAC home birth, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my work. These experiences have fueled my commitment to empowering families with knowledge, confidence, and holistic care. At the end of 2023, I made the decision to leave my corporate career to pursue my dream full-time. I am currently trained through DONA International, a globally respected organization, and offer compassionate, intuitive support focused on mental, physical, and nutritional health. My approach is holistic and tailored to each family’s unique needs, ensuring that partners feel confident and supported throughout the journey. I am so excited to walk alongside you and help you achieve the birth experience you desire. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or your fourth, I look forward to being part of your story!
