We cannot say enough good things about Caitlin! She was amazing. She made the experience so calm and stress free, she would step in when my husband got tired (😅) she was as hands on/off as I wanted and the items she brought with her to make the hospital dreamy/cozy was awesome! She was there for anything I needed. A super selfless doula and genuinely cares about you & birth!!! Can’t recommend her enough! You won’t regret it!

Katherine Landreville

Hi! I'm Katherine Clare, a local birth doula and breastfeeding counselor serving Jacksonville, FL and the surrounding area. Being a doula is an absolute joy for me. It's my passion as a birth doula that your wishes are heard and honored during labor and birth. Whatever your walk or desires are for birth, know that it matters, YOU matter mama, and how your space is honored during birth matters.

Choosing Katherine as my doula was one of the best choices I made in my last pregnancy. It was a little late in the game and from the start she jumped right in to help me. I wanted a very different birth from the experience I’d had with my first baby. With Katherine’s help that is exactly what I had, a completely different and wonderful birth experience. She was instantly my safe place of zero judgement and a vast wealth of information. I have and will always hold space in my heart for Katherine as her constant encouragement, support, and understanding were priceless to me in bringing my sweet boy into the world.

Shelby Fluker

My name is Shelby and I'm a certified Doula and lactation counselor located in Okaloosa County in Florida. My business is Birth & Baby Works LLC. If you would like to see my doula packages and additional services I offer, click on the link to my website or look me up on Facebook. Looking forward to chat about how I can support you in having the birth you desire. 😊

From 0-10 centimeters, you need Shelby! Having her attention on me prenatally, during labor, and into the postpartum period made all the difference for my second pregnancy. I was really nervous for my second birth as the first did not go how I envisioned, but my birth planning session with Shelby quickly put me at ease. Her knowledge of comfort measures and the local hospital providers proved invaluable. She also got my husband involved while showing us comfort measures to use during labor, and was always available to quickly answer any messages or silly questions I had throughout my pregnancy. Shelby supported me until I finally went into labor naturally at 41 weeks and 5 days. She knew how badly I wanted to go into labor without being induced and gave me great information about how long a pregnancy could take. Her support took a lot of pressure off of me as I focused on making informed decisions regarding my labor and bringing my baby earthside. After birth, Shelby was available to help me with breastfeeding, which I was really nervous about because I wasn't able to breastfeed my first baby. I also suffered from terrible postpartum depression with my first, and Shelby was able to offer guidance on recognizing the signs of postpartum depression and anxiety so I would be able to seek help. Having eight weeks of virtual support in addition to my postpartum appointments with Shelby really boosted my confidence as I transitioned into my new role as a mother of two.

Adisela McNamara

Hey y’all! My name is Adisela, I’m a mom of three boys, a Full-Spectrum Doula, an Infant Microbiome Instructor & an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor located in Orlando, FL. My passion for birth work began when I was just 5 years old, at the birth of my first sibling. Since then, I have been fascinated with all things birth, postpartum and everything in between. I am always learning something new and enrolled in some course that pertains to birth, postpartum, holistic healing and parenting. My practice is an unbiased, evidence-based and holistic hub of love, resources and education. I meet you where you need support the most, focusing on your whole being. However you birth, whatever answers and knowledge you seek, you will always be met with warm, open arms.

Adisela is the most supportive and soothing doulas you can find in the Orlando area. She truly loves what she does and you can feel her care and compassion as soon as you meet her.

I absolutely recommend her postpartum doula services. You will feel relaxed, uplifted, loved, and empowered. Having Adisela in your home makes all the difference. Postpartum is a time for moms to heal, to rest, and focus on caring for themselves and their baby. Adisela comes in and makes your home an oasis of calm, tends to your needs, nurturers you with homemade warm soothing soups, and helps you heal. She is a lifesaver.

Hannah Furr

I'm very passionate that those in my care feel seen and heard,, and know that there is someone present focused on advocating specifically for their needs. I want to bring inclusiveness and trauma-informed care to the forefront of my practice. My approach is very client led and tailored to each person's specific needs.

Hannah was my doula for my birth of my son Luca. She was truly wonderful through the whole process before labor helping me prepare with everything I was worried about. During labor when my whole birth plan went to waste due to having a emergency c-section and helping me feel empowered to the whole situation. Even when the doctors were rushing my whole birth she made sure to question them when I wasnt able to advocate for myself. She even waited the whole time during my c-section and made sure me and my baby were/ felt safe after. I truly couldn't have imagined being without my doulas during this whole process as it was a very traumatic experience for me and the only thing keeping me going is how empowered they kept me through the whole situation. I loved having her as my doula and would choose her over and over again to be there for me. Having a doula is one of the best choices I have ever made for myself and my family you feel supported and at peace knowing they are there for you in all aspects of pregnancy! If you're on the fence of whether or not you need a doula I can tell you that it's the best thing you can do for yourself as a first time mom!

hi! i’m tamara niedermann, owner and creator of the kindred feminine. i’m a witness and student of birth and birthing people and it’s an honor to be invited into your birth story. i’ve always known i’m at my best when i’m in support of the people around me. that desire for deep relationship is what has guided my journey to birth work, herbalism, and supporting the birthing and bleeding people in my community. when my younger sister and her husband started their parenting journey, she started sharing the things she was learning about pregnancy and labor. as i watched her pregnancy unfold i learned there was another way. it took the books and documentaries i found, and new perspectives i was learning to show me that doulas, and midwives, and placentas, and breastfeeding, and herbal baths are all a beautiful and sacred part of pregnancy and birth. since then, a deep passion has grown from within me to teach others this new way to know our bodies, experience our menstrual cycles, and conceive and birth our babies. the kindred feminine serves all birthing and bleeding people through education; teaching bodily literacy, contraception, or conception through the fertility awareness method, and pregnancy and childbirth education; walking alongside people in their conception journeys, and in their pregnancies and their births; and creating medicine through processing placentas and herbal offerings. i'm a bisexual cis woman of color who uses the pronouns she, hers, and her. i’m a newlywed in my thirties. i'm the daughter of an immigrant single mother. i acknowledge that Black, Indigenous, People of color (BIPOC) have much worse reproductive outcomes than their white counterparts. i'm an advocate for all birthing people no matter their race, sexuality, gender, or size. i'm a birth keeper, and an herbalist. i make placenta and herbal medicine, and hold space for those who i have the privilege of serving. grace and peace and many blessings on you.

Tamara is such a warm comforting presence at a birth and I have experienced the healing power of her herbal preparations on many occasions. She is an amazing listener and has so much wisdom.

Jennifer Black

I am passionate about supporting families in their transitional time of becoming a parent and assisting mothers during one of the most exciting times of their life!

"Working with Jennifer was the best decision we made for our birth journey. During our prenatal visits, she helped us build a detailed birth plan and provided research-backed resources that completely put our first-time parent worries to rest. During active labor, her calming presence was everything. She coached us through various laboring positions and pain management techniques, ensuring my partner knew exactly how to support me in real-time. When things shifted at the hospital, she helped us advocate for our preferences and communicate with the medical team with clarity and confidence. We could not imagine our delivery without her! Then at home she was so helpful to me and the baby, i could get rest when i direly needed it! Would recommend her to any family and will continue to receive her love/help/support in the future!!

Wendy Ricci

Hi, my name is Wendy, a full-spectrum holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula driven by a personal mission: to ensure no mother feels unheard or unsupported during birth, as I once did. My passion is to provide unwavering love and care during this sacred and intimate time. I offer comprehensive support as a birth and postpartum doula, lactation, childbirth educator, sibling doula, HypnoBirthing Educator, and a special place in my heart for young mothers. My practice is built on empowerment, evidence-based knowledge, compassion, and a non-judgmental, client-led approach. You’ll find me to be a calm, empathetic, and supportive presence, dedicated to fostering a nurturing and professional environment for your journey, as well as supporting the family as a whole. As a mother of two, I deeply understand the transformative power of birth and the beauty of motherhood.

We had a harder than expected go during our first child with multiple sleepless nights and really wanted to have a better support framework for our second. Having Wendy as our nighttime doula was an amazing experience. She started a few days after our daughter was born and was crucial support for the first two months. Having her allowed my wife to make a faster recovery post birth and have her enjoy the baby a lot more. She is very professional, responsible, punctual and knowledgeable. After the first day which is always scary, we felt incredibly comfortable with her being with our baby. We highly recommend her. It made the newborn phase a lot of a better experience and my wife and I were both way more functioning and present for our little one. Being able to have the nights to fully rest is priceless and makes everything about life significantly better.

Michelle Marple

If you welcome me into your birth space I hold this responsibility close to my heart. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in trusting your body, knowing your rights, and protecting the sacredness of your birth! I can't wait to meet you!! The women + people I work with are looking for a doula who is… Collaborative, heart-centered, and authentic - While being evidence-based, flexible, and rooted in supporting intuitive, body-led birth I consider myself a birth nerd, and mental health advocate. I also have deep trust in the human body's ability to birth.

Michelle was an incredible source of strength during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. My labor didn’t go the way the birth plan we created and at times I felt overwhelmed and unheard by the doctors. Michelle made sure I never felt invisible. She truly listened to me, advocated for me, and helped me feel seen and understood when I needed it most. Even when things became difficult and unpredictable, she kept me grounded with her calm presence and reassurance. Having my doulas by my side made all the difference; they supported me with so much compassion and care that it felt like having family in the room. I’m so grateful I got to work with them and I would want them by my side for every birth because of the love, strength, and comfort they brought to my experience. Truly, even after my emergency C-section, having doulas was one of the best choices I've made.
