Hello , My name is Mydarline Empress’ and I have had 8 children of my own (non-medicated natural birth , home water birth & Caesarean C-section asleep and awake ). I will be available for assisting in home births with a midwife present, hospital births, and birthing center. As a doula, my deepest motivation is to support birthing parents emotionally, physically, and informationally during one of the most transformative moments of their lives. I believe every person deserves respectful, empowering care — regardless of their birth plan. I am excited to be able to connect with a diverse range of people and birth experiences, which ultimately helps me become a better, more informed, and more compassionate doula as I continue to grow and become even better at what I do. Send me a message, Let’s doula this together. Located in LEE County, and I am willing to assist with any doula support outside of my surrounding area open to discussion.

I’m so grateful that I chose her to be my doula for such an important moment in my life. From the moment I went into labor, she was supportive, calm, knowledgeable, and reassuring. She helped me feel confident and cared for throughout my birth experience, and I truly felt like I had someone in my corner every step of the way. She also came to see me for two postpartum visits, and her support didn’t stop there. Even after those visits, she has continued to be someone I can reach out to whenever I have questions or need reassurance as a new mom. That ongoing support has meant so much to me. I would absolutely recommend her to any expecting or new mother. She is compassionate, dependable, encouraging, and genuinely cares about the families she works with. Having her there for the birth of my baby is something I will always be grateful for. 🤍

I am a certified postpartum doula. I have been married for 23 years and am a mother of four children, 8-20. As a longtime homeschooling family, we enjoy traveling, exploring nature, and seeking out new adventures together. Motherhood has been one of my greatest joys in life, and it is what first sparked my love of caring for newborns and supporting new families. I truly enjoy helping parents feel confident and supported as they welcome a new baby. Whether is caring for a newborn, offering reassurance to a tired mother, or helping families settle into their new routines, it is an honor to walk alongside parents during such a special season of life.

Recent review

I have known Lindsay as both a close friend and as a parent, and I can confidently speak to her character and the qualities she brings to her work supporting families during the postpartum period. In my experience, she is consistently caring, loving, and deeply supportive of the people around her. She is someone who shows up reliably and follows through on what she says she will do, which speaks strongly to her dependability and integrity. She is attentive and thoughtful in her relationships, often anticipating the needs of others and offering support in a steady, grounded way. As a mother, I have seen her demonstrate patience, warmth, and a calm, nurturing presence with her own children. She is intentional in how she cares for her family, and she brings a strong sense of responsibility and compassion into her home life.

From the moment we started working with Sophia at Devout Doula Services, it was clear that we had made the right decision. She not only provided us with emotional and physical support but also with an incredible depth of knowledge and resources that empowered us throughout our birth. She was there for us every step of the way, from early pregnancy to postpartum, offering guidance on everything from nutrition to birth plans. Sophia respected and listened to our wishes, ensuring that we felt heard, seen, and genuinely cared for. The personalized tips and continuous availability via text and calls helped alleviate our anxieties. The prenatal visits were not only informative but also incredibly reassuring. During labor, She advocated for us with the medical staff, ensuring that all actions were in our best interest. Her support was not just professional but deeply personal. We recommend Sophia without reservation to anyone looking for a doula who will respect, empower, and support you throughout your birthing process.

From our very first visit, I knew I was in the best hands. Throughout my entire pregnancy, she was such a steady, comforting presence. Her energy is warm, calming, and genuine, it felt so easy to connect with her right away. During my pregnancy, there were multiple times when I felt pressure from my doctors to move toward a cesarean for multiple reasons. In those moments, she reminded me of my strength and what my body was created to do. She never dismissed my concerns, but instead grounded me, educated me, and helped me feel confident in advocating for the birth I wanted. She fully supported my desire to go natural and empowered me to trust myself. When it came time for my birth, she was an incredible advocate. Having her there made all the difference. She supported not just me physically, but emotionally and mentally making sure my voice was heard and my wishes were respected. I felt protected, encouraged, and deeply supported every step of the way. Choosing her as my doula was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. I truly cannot imagine what my journey would have been like without her. If you are looking for someone who will wholeheartedly support you, remind you of your strength, and stand by you in every sense of the word, she is the one.

Hello! My name is Alicia Castello! I am a certified birth doula and founder of Driftwood Doula Services. My path into this work is both personal and deeply rooted in experience. As a mother of two, I understand firsthand how powerful, vulnerable, and transformative pregnancy and birth can be. Professionally, I bring a strong clinical background from working as a Licensed Nursing Assistant and scrub technician on a high-volume labor & delivery unit in New Hampshire, where I supported dozens of births alongside nurses, midwives, physicians, and local birth doulas. That experience shaped the way I show up for my clients today—with a steady presence, a deep respect for the birth process, and a strong understanding of how to support families within both clinical and non-clinical spaces. Driftwood Doula Services was created from a belief that birth, much like driftwood, is an experience that shapes you. Through every wave, every shift, and every moment of intensity, something within you is being strengthened, softened, and transformed. There is beauty in that process, and you deserve to feel supported through all of it. As your doula, my role is to walk alongside you in that experience by offering steady support, calm guidance, and a grounded presence so you can move through each phase feeling informed, heard, and confident in your choices. You are not meant to navigate these waters alone. You deserve to feel secure, supported, and deeply connected throughout every moment of your birth experience.

Hi, I'm Maybelline - I bet you're like... 🎶 Maybe it's Maybelline 🎶 I'm a Journalist dropout turned birth and postpartum nerd. I'm a certified Health Coach + Certified Birth Doula + Certified Postpartum Doula + Certified Lamaze Childbirth Educator and most recently a Certified VBAC Specialist. I also trained with Michel Odent, Liliana Lammers, and Ina May Gaskin, so as you can see... I don't half @s$ anything I'm interested in. This is fantastic for you because I have spent countless hours learning and understanding that birth and postpartum are the most transformative seasons in a woman's life. What happens in birth, will stay with you for the rest of your life! I know from experience that as much as our bodies know how to grow and birth a baby, sometimes, the body or our minds act like a toddler at the checkout line of the supermarket after their mom said no to the candy bar -you know what I'm talking about- and throw a tantrum in the middle of the pregnancy, so having the support that you need is crucial. Evidence-based information, mindset, context, and intuition are essential components in pregnancy. Knowing what you want and don't want is equally important. You and your partner deserve to explore different options without bias because you have power and you should use it to make the choices that feel right to YOU. Birth is not a one-size-fits-all all! So I am committed to giving you the tools you need to feel empowered by information instead of scared of the what-ifs - Here's where the mindset comes into play. I am Venezuelan and live in Cape Coral, Fl with my husband Marcelo and four children, Bruno, Oliver, Giovanni, and Hannah - I know! I pick great names! 🤩

The support that was provided for my daughter during the birth and delivery process was absolutely amazing. There was nothing my daughter needed that Empress didn’t provide or assist with. Thank you for your impeccable service. You are such a blessing.

— Tiffany C., review of Mydarline Empress’ Seawright June 2026

I am very glad I decided to use a doula this time around . This is my third child but I knew I wanted to seek more help since I wanted a unmedicated birth . Empress came with music ,essential oil for message ,she showed my partner how to help me during the pain , She took pictures and made us a birth video that I will always cherish . She helped me so much when the pain became unbearable her voice is so soothing and she just has such a beautiful calmness about her ! She was everything I needed and more in that moment . She was also my advocate and always asked me what I wanted and was my voice when I wasn't able to speak or don't feel like speaking up . She is not afraid to stand up for your birth plan and what you want ! I highly recommend using her services . She is an amazing doula !
