Hi! I'm Audrey, a certified birth doula, lactation specialist and mom of three serving Central Florida. I believe that God has beautifully designed mamas for childbirth. He has a plan for each baby even before they are woven in the womb, and each life is precious in His sight. I am passionate about coming alongside mamas and supporting them through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.

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.

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.

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.
