Hi, I'm Heather. I gave birth to twins during the pandemic, and my experience sparked a passion inside of me to support, educate and help others feel empowered on their own child birthing journeys! I believe that every person deserves to have a positive and empowering birth experience, and am committed to providing evidence- based education that supports achieving this goal. I have degrees in Sports Medicine and Education, and have spent over 20 years mentoring and coaching others. I love drinking earl grey tea, being crafty, and exploring the local beaches on the North Shore with my wife and 3 year old boys.

I have been a Lactation Consultant for over 25 years. I have a background as a pediatric RN and home-birth midwife, and have provided lactaton care both in a full-spectrum maternity unit and in my private-care home office. I have lectured at lactation conferences on many aspects of lactation and am the founder and executive Director of Baby Cafe USA, a national network of free community-based breastfeeding support sites.

I am a pediatric and perinatal chiropractor that is Webster Technique certified. I have a passion for serving families in all stages and walks of life. Whether trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum—I love helping connect your nervous system so that you can function optimally. Seeing families get under nervous system centered chiropractic is my mission, so that families can all function their best and grow happily and healthy!

Christine has walked the walk. When her twin boys were six months old, she and her husband hit a concrete wall of sleep deprivation and sought outside help. After failing to find a local sleep consultant, they set out to teach the boys how to sleep on their own. Ultimately, they were successful in teaching their boys healthy sleep habits but would have loved to have a guide on the journey. This struggle launched Christine’s sleep obsession and a passion to help families like her own. She completed the Family Sleep Institute’s child sleep consultant training program and Bella Luna Family was born! In the past 5+ years, she and her team have helped well over 1,000 families. She has also received a certification in child behavior coaching and she is a certified lactation counselor.

Hello, My name is Erica Espinal and I am a trained Doula as well as a Licensed Esthetician. I wanted to be become a doula because birth is a life-changing experience and all women deserve to have the opportunity to be given that extra support they might have needed or wanted. As well as being a birth doula, I am also training to be a postpartum doula, because I believe that care and support is needed not only during pregnancy and birth but once the baby is born as well!

I am a chiropractor, using instruments and light touch to adjust. I love working with all but my heart sings when working with children and pregnant women. I am a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and am continuing my education with them to better serve my patients.

I’m a mom of two, a Nurse Practitioner, and a Certified Lactation Counselor. I love helping new parents navigate the struggles and joys of feeding their babies. My goal is always to provide support for whatever your feeding goals are.

Hello! As a birth doula, my intention is to help my clients feel comfortable, confident, and at ease from conception to postpartum. I provide my clients with evidence-based, nonjudgmental, physical and emotional support, and a loving, calming presence. What brings me the most joy in doing this work are the relationships formed, understanding my client’s needs and goals, and supporting them to get there. I’m a mom to two little girls, a former collegiate volleyball player, strength coach, and certified yoga teacher. Functional movement and training have been a part of my life for quite some time, and a significant component of my approach - helping my clients to physically prepare for motherhood. I look forward to connecting and seeing how I can best support you during this season of life!

Hi, I’m Kathleen Stern—a certified postpartum and birth doula, certified infant feeding specialist and an IBCLC candidate (international board certified lactation consultant), expecting to be certified in 2026. I love working with parents to offer real-time relief and practical tips and to remind them that they’re doing a great job. My goal is to build your confidence and provide relief so that you feel better when my visit ends. Whether you’re a first-time parent feeling nervous/excited or thinking “I don’t know what I don’t know,” or a seasoned parent looking for some more relief this time around, I’ve got you! Prior to working with infants and families, I earned a Masters in Teaching and had a rewarding 15-year education career— teaching students (mostly middle school English), coaching teachers, and helping others recognize their own strengths. I got into the perinatal world after I had a colicky baby in 2014 and was filled with exhaustion, self-doubt, and conflicting advice from well-meaning family and friends. I knew there must be a better way. For my second baby, I worked with a postpartum doula to provide me with the nonjudgmental, hands-on support I knew I would need. The difference between my first and second postpartum experiences prompted me to become a doula and lactation professional. My best advice for expecting families is, “Reach out for help before you think you need it. You're not supposed to be able to do this by yourself.” I live in the North Shore with my 11 and 8 year-old daughters and labradoodle. When I’m not with my family or holding babies, I love to garden, be active, and be by the water.

Hi! I'm Naomi. I am a Certified Practitioner Midwife choosing to focus on providing birth and postpartum doula support. I keep my Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) cards active at all times. I am currently in the process of becoming certified as a postpartum doula. I believe that if women/birthing persons and their babies were truly supported in the way they most need, we would have peace on Earth. I decided to become a midwife and doula because I want to make the world a better place, and I believe the way to do that is to bring compassionate support to mothers and their babies. I received my training through Maternidad La Luz (birth center on the US/Mexico border) and the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA). I have attended around 150 births and have provided care for many newborns. I currently run Little Angel Doula and work part time as a midwife assistant for a local home birth practice. My philosophy centers around trusting the birthing body and trusting the process of transition into parenthood. I am a firm believer in the power of gentle touch and calm words, good rest, good nourishment, and laughter. I have confidence in my heart and my hands to be there for you and your child.

Hello, I’m Erika Higginbottom. I’m an occupational therapist and I specialize in infant feeding, tongue ties, and precrawling infant development. I take a whole-body approach to feeding. I founded OT By Mommy after my difficult breastfeeding journey with my child. I wanted to provide resources, quality information, and concrete toys so no parent would have to feel as lost or isolated while feeding their baby as I did. Photo Credit: Michael Burchfiel

Hi, I'm Allison. I am the owner and founder of Holistic Birth & Beyond. I am a birth & postpartum doula, childbirth & lactation educator, reiki practitioner and birth story mentor. For me, my passion lies with empowering and supporting families on their pregnancy, birth and postpartum journeys. The entire perinatal timeframe is so much more than baby registries, maternity photos and nursery painting. This is a time of transition. This chapter will transform you into a new parent and a new version of yourself. We aren't meant to navigate this alone; that's where our team comes in. Providing warmth and unconditional love for parents, newborns and the family as a whole is an honor. Being part of such a vulnerable, intimate experience is extraordinary and something I truly cherish. I live in Goffstown, NH with my family. When I'm not at a birth or meeting with clients & colleagues, you can find me spending time with my family, friends and houseplants.

I am a CAPPA certified postpartum doula offering overnight support in Central Massachusetts. Please take a look at my website for more details about me and what I do :)
