Hello! My name is Doracelis. I am a proud mother of five beautiful children and am based in Lady Lake, Florida. Over the past 19 years, my children have taught me that every individual is completely unique, each with their own distinct needs and personality. My passion for supporting families led me to become a WIC lactation counselor in 2015. To expand my care, I became a certified Postpartum Doula in 2020, focusing on the wellness of mothers and their newborns. In 2022, I earned my certification as a Birth Doula, allowing me to offer full-spectrum support throughout the entire pregnancy, labor, and delivery process. Every family I have served has taught me something valuable, and I am honored to share this wealth of knowledge with you. If you are looking for a dedicated Doula to guide you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I am here to answer your questions and support you every step of the way. Please remember: you are not alone in this beautiful journey. God bless you. ¡Hola! Mi nombre es Doracelis. Soy la orgullosa madre de cinco hermosos hijos y me encuentro en Lady Lake, Florida. A lo largo de estos últimos 19 años, mis hijos me han enseñado que cada ser humano es completamente único, con sus propias necesidades y personalidad. Mi pasión por apoyar a las familias me llevó a certificarme como consejera de lactancia para el programa WIC en el 2015. Con el deseo de ampliar mi conocimiento, en el 2020, me certifiqué como Doula Postparto, enfocándome en el bienestar de la madre y su bebé. Luego, en el 2022, completé mi certificación como Doula de Parto, lo que me permite brindar un acompañamiento completo durante el embarazo, el trabajo de parto y el nacimiento. Cada familia a la que he servido me ha dejado una gran enseñanza, y para mí es un honor compartir este conocimiento contigo. Si estás buscando una Doula dedicada que te guíe en tu embarazo, parto y postparto, estoy aquí para responder tus preguntas y servirte en todo lo que necesites. Recuerda siempre: no estás sola en este hermoso proceso. Dios te bendiga.

Loved the experience, Doracelis was amazing. I would definitely get the doula services again in the future. Thanks for all the information and help. I wish I had a doula for my first two kids.

I truly can't put into words how grateful we are to have had Paige by our side during one of the most important days of our lives. From the moment she joined us, she brought such a calming, reassuring presence that instantly made me feel safe, supported, and confident. Labor can be overwhelming, but having Paige there made all the difference. She was constantly encouraging me, reminding me of my strength, and helping me believe that I could do it. One of the biggest reasons I was able to have the unmedicated birth I had hoped for was because of Paige. During the toughest moments, she knew exactly how to motivate me, comfort me, and guide me through each contraction. Her emotional support, hands-on comfort measures, and gentle reassurance kept me focused when I wanted to give up. She wasn't just doing her job—she genuinely cared about my well-being and made me feel like I was never alone. What impressed us most was how attentive and intuitive she was. She always seemed to know exactly what I needed without me even having to ask. She also made my husband feel supported and involved, which meant so much to both of us. Looking back, I honestly can't imagine going through labor without her. If you're looking for a doula who is compassionate, knowledgeable, incredibly supportive, and someone who will wholeheartedly advocate for and encourage you throughout your birth journey, I cannot recommend Paige enough. She helped make our birth experience empowering, beautiful, and something we will cherish forever. We will always be thankful for everything she did for our family. — Rucha, Dipen & Baby Nirvaan ??

I am the owner of Root & Recovery Holistic Studio. For the past 16 years, I have practiced as a Licensed Massage Therapist, helping individuals understand their bodies, manage physical discomfort, release tension, and experience the restorative benefits of therapeutic touch. Over the past five years, I have also had the privilege of supporting families throughout their pregnancy and birth journeys. What began as a passion for helping expectant mothers feel comfortable, informed, and supported has grown into a deeper calling to provide comprehensive doula care. Throughout my career, I have learned that our bodies are wonderfully capable, but they also benefit from preparation, education, movement, and compassionate support. That philosophy is at the heart of my approach to birth. A Different Approach to Birth Preparation As a Certified Body Ready Method® Pro, Body Ready Birth Teacher, and Better Birth Pro, I bring together my background in therapeutic bodywork with specialized education in birth biomechanics and childbirth preparation. My approach goes beyond traditional emotional support. I believe that preparing for birth involves nurturing the mind, understanding the body, building confidence, and learning how movement and positioning can support the natural processes of labor. Through my doula services, I offer: Prenatal Preparation: Personalized education, birth preferences, emotional support, and practical preparation for labor. Birth Biomechanics & Body Ready Method®: Movement, positioning, and body awareness to support comfort, mobility, and physical preparation. Therapeutic Prenatal Massage: Specialized bodywork to ease muscular tension, encourage relaxation, and support physical well-being. Partner Education & Involvement: Practical tools to help your chosen support person feel confident and actively involved. Continuous Labor Support: A reassuring presence, comfort measures, encouragement, and advocacy for your informed choices. Postpartum Support: Compassionate guidance and nurturing care as you recover, bond with your baby, and adjust to your growing family. Your Birth. Your Choices. Your Experience. I believe there is no single perfect way to give birth. Whether you envision an unmedicated birth, choose medical pain management, plan a hospital delivery, or experience an unexpected change in your birth plan, my role is to help you feel heard, respected, informed, and supported. My goal is not to direct your birth experience, but to help you enter it with knowledge, practical tools, confidence, and a trusted person by your side. I want you and your family to feel that you are active participants in your birth journey, not simply passengers along for the ride. Let's Prepare for Your Birth Together

We are so thankful for the support we received- we could not have done it without her guiding us as first time parents and taking care of us postpartum!

— Sarah F., review of Audrey Ferrell

September 2026

I cannot sing enough praises for how wonderful Audrey was as my doula! She is grounded, organized, empowering, calming, safe, flexible, understanding, and strong. She stayed with me for 28 hours of active labor and was everything I hoped for when hiring a doula and more. She offered different relaxation techniques and spoke words of strength over me. She even helped provide my husband with direction when he wanted to help but didn't know what to do. She took pictures and videos during the birth (after we agreed to that) and captured some of the most beautiful moments that I'll get to remember forever. She came organized with copies of my preferences that she had had me fill out prior and a copy of my own birth plan that I created. Even though my birth didn't go at all according to plan, she never made me feel ashamed or disappointed, only strong and empowered for making tough decisions. She became my rock and my safe space during labor and I couldn't have done it without her. My postpartum visit was so nice and so sweet. It was wonderful to visit and debrief with someone who was there! One of my big love languages is gifts and she got me a gift basket that I'll never forget. A onsie with bees after seeing my bee tattoo behind my ear, milkmaid tea after me telling her how excited I was to breastfeed, postpartum mood vitamins after me telling her how worried I was about PPD, and a nail product that we actually talked about in the L&D room! I was so touched by the attention to detail she provided. When I decided to hire a doula, my husband had originally said "Why are we paying so much for someone we don't know to basically give you massages?" And I said "trust me". He left the hospital saying to Audrey "I get it now. We will never do this where you don't have that kind of support. What you provide is priceless. We can't imagine what this would've been like without you. Worth every penny.

As my first doula I don’t know how I could have done it without her! From the preparation to the actual moment, everything was very well explained and aligned with my wishes. You can really see her passion and care in the work she gives. 10/10 would use agian.
