Hiring an overnight doula from Peaceful Passages was one of the best decisions I made for my postpartum recovery. Not only did my doula lovingly care for me and my newborn, she went above and beyond—prepping nourishing meals, providing breastfeeding support, organizing the baby’s nursery, and even helping with my twin toddlers so I could rest. Her calm, professional presence made my healing after a c-section so much easier. I was especially impressed by how seamless everything was—she was professionally dressed, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. On top of that, Peaceful Passages accepted my Carrot insurance and handled all the billing with ease, which lifted such a burden off my shoulders. This service was truly a lifesaver for me and my family. I felt cared for, supported, and able to focus on bonding with my baby. I can’t recommend their overnight doula services enough!

Hi There! I’m Felicia Arevalo – Doula, Welcoming a new life into the world is one of the most beautiful and transformative experiences a woman can go through—but it can also be one of the most vulnerable. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to walk alongside mothers during this tender time, offering not just support, but presence, care, and genuine love. As a mom of four myself, I know firsthand how deeply overwhelming those early postpartum days can be. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, every journey is different—and every mother deserves to feel seen, heard, and nurtured. My heart is rooted in postpartum care. It’s where I feel called to serve the most—helping moms rest, recover, bond with their babies, and truly feel held as they find their new rhythm. I believe no one should have to walk this part of the journey alone. I serve with my whole heart in any way I can—whether it’s holding space, helping with baby care, providing resources, or just being a comforting presence in the quiet moments. If you’re expecting, in the thick of postpartum, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here for you. Let’s walk this journey together. Can't wait to hear from you!

Felicia was our post partum doula and what a lifesaver she was!! We have twin boys and post partum was not easy. Felicia showed up like Mary Poppins, willing to help in any way, she is knowledgeable about all things from mommy post partum stuff to the baby stuff you didn't know you needed to know. Further more, she is like a baby whisper-our boys instantly took to her and I never had to worry when my boys were being taken care of by Felicia! I literally sighed in review each time Felicia came over!! Oh ya-her lactation cookies are super yummy and worked wonders on my milk supply too!! I highly recommend Felicia for any birthing and doula assistance you may need(pre, birth +post)!

Hello My name is Marlene Solorio I fully and wholeheartedly trust that you can give birth naturally, because GOD designed women and babies to work together during birth. You are a powerful human and GOD designed you perfectly. So deep down inside you know exactly what to do. I love helping moms find the confidence to birth autonomously through education and empowerment. After my 3 unnecessary cesareans, I decided to become a doula. When I found out I was pregnant with my 4th I told myself I was going to have a natural birth, even though every doctor and midwife in my area told me I couldn't. And boy did I prove them wrong with my VBA3C. So that's why I'm here, I want to help you have a beautiful empowering birth like I did. I know it's possible because I just did it!

I reached out to Marlene a few months before my planned July birth. She was wonderful from the beginning, providing me with information and also supporting my personal choices with the birth. In the end, I had to have an induction due to unforeseen medical issues. Marlene was responsive via text, which I appreciated and was necessary as the baby came within 24 hours. It was late when I texted her that the baby was coming, and thankfully, she responded right away. She came quickly and was there for the active labor portion of the birth. I appreciated her support and advocacy very much. Afterward, she provided postpartum support, which was invaluable as it allowed me time to catch up on sleep. She also created a beautiful artprint of my placenta and also created a resin umbilical cord ornament that will be a treasured memory for years to come. Marlene is wonderful, and I highly recommend her.

— Bri L., review of Joanne Gomez BSN, RN, CD, CCE, CLE August 2025

I am so thankful for the lactation support I received from Peaceful Passages. As a first-time mom, breastfeeding was more challenging than I ever imagined, and I was feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. Joanne and her team stepped in with patience, compassion, and expert guidance that completely changed my experience. They took the time to understand my concerns, showed me practical techniques, and encouraged me every step of the way. With their help, my baby and I were finally able to establish a successful feeding routine—and I gained the confidence I desperately needed. What stood out most was how supportive and non-judgmental the care was. Instead of pressure, I felt empowered, heard, and reassured. Peaceful Passages turned what could have been a stressful journey into one filled with confidence and connection. I truly couldn’t have done it without them!

— Lauren D., review of Joanne Gomez BSN, RN, CD, CCE, CLE August 2025

When I first signed up for the childbirth education class at Peaceful Passages, I had no idea how much it would change my entire birth experience. Joanne Gomez, RN, and her team created such a safe, welcoming space where I learned not only about the stages of labor, but also practical coping strategies, comfort techniques, and how to advocate for myself. By the end of the series, I felt informed, confident, and supported in a way I hadn’t felt before. Because of that amazing experience, I decided to use their RN Montrice services—and it was the best decision I could have made. Having Joanne there with her nursing expertise alongside her nurturing, doula-like care gave me the perfect balance of medical knowledge and emotional support. She monitored me at home, guided me on when to go to the hospital, and stayed by my side through the hardest moments. I felt reassured knowing she could interpret what was happening with my body and the medical team, while still keeping me calm, focused, and encouraged. What makes Joanne and her team so special is the way they bridge the gap between clinical care and compassionate support. I never felt like “just another patient.” I felt empowered, cared for, and truly respected throughout the process. My partner also said he felt more at ease having Joanne there, which made a huge difference for both of us. Thanks to Peaceful Passages, my birth was not only safe but also empowering and positive. I cannot recommend their classes and RN Montrice services enough—every family deserves this kind of support.
