Anastacia Curry

I’m a holistic-based nanny, doula, and Newborn Care Specialist who believes that children thrive when they feel safe, respected, nurtured, and truly seen. My approach to childcare is gentle, attentive, and child-led, with a strong focus on creating a calm and nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and develop at their own pace. I value connection over correction and believe everyday moments—whether playtime, mealtime, or settling down for a nap—can be opportunities to build trust, confidence, and emotional security. As a doula and Newborn Care Specialist, I have a special appreciation for the early stages of development and the unique needs of both babies and parents. I’m passionate about supporting families with patience, intuition, and a holistic mindset while honoring each child’s individual personality, rhythms, and developmental needs. Through child-led play, mindful routines, and lots of warmth and encouragement, my goal is to make children feel comfortable being exactly who they are while giving parents peace of mind that their little ones are being cared for with intention and genuine love.

I cannot recommend Inara Arauz enough! From the moment she became part of our journey, she brought so much warmth, compassion, and reassurance during both my birth and postpartum experience. As my birth doula, Inara was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and calming. She helped me feel informed, empowered, and cared for every step of the way. Her presence made such a meaningful difference during one of the most important moments of my life. As my postpartum doula, Inara continued to go above and beyond. She was so sweet, kind, and unbelievably patient with my baby girl. Watching the love and gentle care she showed my daughter gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to rest knowing she was in the very best hands. She also offered encouragement, guidance, and support when I needed it most as a new mom. I also want to give a special thank you to Laila, who cared for us as my postpartum doula on several nights. She was equally kind, compassionate, and attentive, and I always felt confident leaving my baby girl in her care. Her calm presence and genuine love for babies made those nights so much easier for our family. Both Inara and Laila have hearts of gold, and I am forever grateful for everything they did for our family. If you’re looking for a birth or postpartum doula who is experienced, caring, and truly passionate about what they do, I wholeheartedly recommend them. They made such a positive impact on our lives, and we will always cherish the support they gave us during this special time.

Alejandra Latorre

I believe birth is a sacred, God-given gift—a natural, physiological process that reflects the original design of women and babies: women are capable of giving birth, and babies know how to be born. My name is Monica Alejandra Latorre, and I am deeply passionate about women’s wellness, birth, and motherhood. As a traditional, faith-based birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, newborn care specialist, and fertility awareness educator, I bring over nine years of experience walking alongside women and families through life’s most tender transitions. My vocation is to mother the mother: supporting women as they reconnect with their innate feminine wisdom, dignity, and God-given strength. I believe birth is a holy rite of passage, and it is a profound honor to serve women and their families in these sacred spaces. With deep reverence, I offer my presence, guidance, and resources so that each mother feels supported, informed, and confident as she moves through her unique journey. It is a privilege to be invited into a mother’s birth story, to hold space with tenderness, and to walk alongside her through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My deepest hope is that every mother I serve finds her voice, trusts her intuition, and feels deeply connected to her body, her birth, and her baby.

Alejandra is fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, kind, and warm. She was the perfect person to guide my husband and I during such an important and intimate chapter of our lives. Bilingual and didnt skip a beat. She knew the hospital, our OB, and got along great with the nurses - she was the perfect liaison for when we needed one. It was important for me to have someone of the Catholic faith guide me during such a life chaning moment and she was exactly what I was looking for. After interviewing over 15 Doulas, I knew Alejandra was the one the minute we finished our initial consultation. She exceeded our expectations and overdelivered. I most certainly will be using her services again for our next baby!

I highly recommend Esther and her company. She exceeds expectations. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. Childbirth is a highly personal and important part of your life. Esther was right there for the family to support this precious journey. She was always available and connected us to others in the community, which was helpful. Fun facts 1. She graduated top of her class at a rigorous pre-medical program in high school 2. She also attend University of Miami on a scholarship 3. She is a mother of 4 very healthy boys 4. She speaks multiple languages 5. She has connections all throughout Miami Dade, which is helpful for a new mom 6. She's not just available before and during birth, she is available AFTER birth as well. 7. She has connections to midwives, physicians, and community leaders 8. She will support you throughout the entire birthing process. This is critical. 9. She is highly communicative - if you message her, you will get a response 10. She has a deep understanding of the human body given her background as a UM grad and high school medical program. She is a sweet and kind person as well. Her work has been featured throughout the country, and she is considered an expert in her field. She mentors other doulas and is a successful business woman, but she will still make you feel like a priority despite her busy schedule. You will never feel like a number. In your most intimate moment of life, you want someone who is there for you. Your child is your most important asset, do not leave it to chance. As I close this, I want to mention that Esther understands breastfeeding. Breastfeeding and pumping takes intention, strategy, and planning. Having a doula who is also a breastfeeding expert is extremely helpful and saves money down the line (no formula if that's your desire). As someone who is extremely discerning about services, I whole heartedly recommend Esther and you won't be disappointed.

Hello love! My name is Heidi, I was raised in Queens, NY & living in Florida since 2008. I love coffee, my camera, books, nature walks with my husband and cuddles with our fur baby Leo. When I am not cuddling with Leo I spend a lot of my time nurturing my deeply growing passion for my work as a birth doula & photographer, My heart's calling is mothering the mother during the threshold that IS giving birth. I bring a grandmother presence to the room, I am here in loving service to you, to be present and guide you because birth can be challenging, but it can also be extremely magical and deeply empowering. I can remember My first encounter with Birth as a photographer and it was that moment I knew how precious and significant birth is, from then on all I have wanted is to be a part of those Magical moments with my camera or/and as a birth doula. Being a doula is being in service to the Mother-and it would be my honor to be chosen and given the opportunity to cross paths during one of the most life changing altering experiences a woman can experience and that is YOU now- how amazing! congratulations! life is a Miracle and it is you ✨! <3 #letsd🌀ulathistogether ♾

Heidi was absolutely amazing! From our first meeting to the birth, she was incredible helpful and knowledgeable. She provided us with so many helpful tools to get us through the birth and supported us every step of the way. She never made us feel rushed and always gave special attention to our older daughter. She was so great with her which was so helpful! She never overstepped any boundaries and was always there when we needed her. I am beyond grateful that we had Heidi as part of our team for Lily's birth! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.

As first time parents, I had no idea what to expect when it came to the labor process. After speaking with my midwife, choosing a doula was something we decided to do; but that too, was scary to me. Then we came across Chelsea & the search stopped! From the first message interaction, to our very last visit together, both my husband and I always felt supported & heard. Chelsea brings such a positive & calming presence every room she’s in. During the labor process, she was my voice when I didn’t know what to say and my pain relief when I didn’t know what should be next. If you’re looking for a kind, compassionate, intelligent doula, look no further! I went searching for a doula and my family came out having a forever friend. Thank you Chelsea!

👋🏼 Welcome. So, you want to learn more about me, my energy, and the services I offer. My journey into birth work has been a long, winding path with many twists and turns. I My formal education was in designing therapeutic environments for children’s hospitals, studying how physical spaces impact healing, safety, and the nervous system. Over time, that work led me somewhere deeper, into the thresholds of birth, death and rebirth. Today, I am in private practice, Aspired Mother, where I offer birth and Ayurvedic postpartum care services rooted in both modern understanding and time-honored maternal care traditions. For birth preparation, my focus is on strengthening the mind-body connection so you can access efficient, instinctive movement and nervous system regulation during labor. Birth is not something we force, it’s something the body remembers when it feels safe and supported. Through somatic awareness, alignment, and practical preparation, I help you build confidence in your body’s innate design. For postpartum, my Ayurvedic approach extends the midwifery model beyond birth, protecting your long-term recovery and wellbeing. The early weeks after delivery are not just about surviving, they are foundational to your hormonal balance, energy, and emotional health for years to come. Through nourishment, warmth, rest, and hands-on support, I stabilize and restore you at your core. I also facilitate meaningful gatherings and transition support, such as Mother Blessings, Closing of the Bones and postpartum integration sessions , for women who wish to honor this threshold in a grounded and personal way. At the heart of my philosophy is this: Childbirth is not simply medical event. It is a formative life experience. And when a mother is deeply prepared, supported, and protected, the entire family benefits. So, whether you are planning a home birth, birth center experience, or hospital delivery, I believe in shared decision-making, informed choices, and honoring your autonomy every step of the way. I’m here to support you , not to lead you. Not to override you, but to walk beside you. 💛

First I would like to say thank you. We decided to hire Mrs. Paulette ReeseHart as our Doula for the home birth of our first child. Mrs. ReeseHart was very professional, she treated myself and my fiancé like family to her. Mrs.ReeseHart has amazing and encouraging energy. She helped my fiance stick with her birth plans and supported her decisions. We couldn’t have asked for someone more perfect. During labor, it sometime became very tiring however you wouldn’t know it if Mrs ReeseHart had anything to do with it. She was right there with encouraging quotes, prayers and her presence. She’s not only a great Doula but a wonderful person all around. Even days after birth the family treatment and love didn’t stop. Mrs. ReeseHart called, texted and even visit to assist us with anything we needed. She even assisted with cleanup of the environment we have. Anything to make our journey smooth, Mrs.ReeseHart assisted. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a DOULA. You will not regret it……… To Mrs.ReeseHart we will be forever indebted to you.
