Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile. I have worked as a Nanny for 15 years and will share my resume with you after we talk and know we can work well together. My clients included first time Moms and their infants up to Mom with middle schoolers. Also, I'm a mother to 4 of my own who are adults. I am registered on Trustline with a clean background, and CPR certified. I have completed 2 DONA workshops, Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula, but still working on my certification. Like many of us who decided to become Doulas, I can vividly recall feeling unsupported throughout each of my pregnancies and deliveries. I know what it's like to be sleep deprived while caring for a newborn. My goal is to learn from you how can I support you. I'm not going to walk in assuming that I know how you feel or what your needs are. Every person is different! I feel each birthing and postpartum person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. I am a new Doula without experience therefore my fees are less than a Doula with experience and one that is certified. However, I do not come without knowledge and the ability to support you. The name of my business is All About You Doula because a Doula should be there for you in the capacity you need. Thank you for reading!

Hi 👋🏼 I am a postpartum doula, meeting families where they are at. I assist with preparing meals, light housework, baby care, lactation support, bottle feeding support, and providing resources. I am a mother of two myself and love empowering parents in such a special time. I work day shifts, late nights and overnights.

Barbara was an amazing support for my family in the first weeks of our daughters arrival. She came over the evening we got home from the hospital and because of her I was not anxious to bring my baby home and not know what to do. I had her to ask questions, give support and be an extra set of hands. In the few weeks Barbara was in our home, she made sure my main focus was being with my baby and healing my body. She aided in nourishing my body with healthy snacks, drinks and meals as well as taught me the reasons behind the healing properties certain ingredients had. There were countless times I didn’t need to ask for help on things around the house, Barbara would be one step ahead of me already doing it. This created a great flow between the two of us. The advice and knowledge that Barbara gave my family eased our mind many times. My husband was able to return to work knowing that baby and I were well taken care of and supported. Her support exceeded my expectations of what a postpartum doula brings to your family. Thank you Barbara for the wonderful experience. You helped our family in the best way possible.

I look forward to being a part of your journey and supporting you during one of the most special times of your life!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the amazing Mariah ! She provided a type of care I truly wasn’t prepared to receive for my entry into motherhood. Not even thinking a doula would be a necessary as a new mom I’m so glad I decided to give it a shot. As our postpartum doula, she was simply incredible offering both overnight and daytime support with a level of care, compassion, and professionalism that far exceeded mine and my husband’s expectations. Mariah was attentive to every need, making sure I felt supported not just physically, but emotionally throughout the months I was lucky to have her support. She created such a peaceful environment for both me and my baby, and I always felt at ease knowing she was there. Literally after the first time of overnight I gave her my baby and didn’t have any hesitation which as a mom is not something I have experienced for anyone other than my husband and mom. What truly sets Mariah apart is how consistently she went above and beyond to make sure I knew every detail when she had my baby. No matter how last-minute a request was, she found a way to help without hesitation. Her flexibility, kindness, and genuine dedication made such a difference for our family, and we are forever grateful for her. I would highly recommend Mariah to anyone looking for a postpartum doula who truly cares and brings heart, skill, and thoughtfulness to everything she does. She was truly a blessing to our family.

Im 19 and recently finished getting my certification as a Holistic Pregnancy and Birth Practitioner. I have been a nanny for a little over two years and I really enjoy the work and kiddos. I started with one of the families while they were pregnant with baby number 2 and was able to offer mom the chance to rest or spend 1:1 time with baby and I really enjoyed it. With my recent training I am hoping to use it and get into become a birth/postpartum doula. I want to offer my services and a lower price while I help with my first births and learn what to fully expect outside of the classroom. I feel more connected to postpartum work and being able to nurture the parents, whether that be pre-birth to “nest” for baby, find meals to prep/cook postpartum, basic housework like dishes and laundry and even some potential grocery shopping for those first few weeks when it’s not ideal to take baby out. I like to create a judgement free zone and am open to all styles of life but am more in the middle of lightly holistic and following modern medicine and recommendations but I am ultimately here to support parents decision.

🌟 Hi, I'm Jessica, Your Family Wellness Guide! 🌟 My journey as a family coach is deeply rooted in my own experiences and beliefs. Having faced the devastating impact of suicide, including the loss of my dear friend Viktoria when she was just 13, I understand firsthand the importance of fostering resilience, understanding, and meaningful connections within families. Growing up, I struggled with depression and adversity. These challenges have shaped my perspective and fueled my passion for supporting families in their own journeys. I know from personal experience the critical role that support, empathy, and effective communication play in promoting mental health and well-being within families. My approach as a family coach is guided by empathy and authenticity. I provide a safe and supportive space for families to explore their challenges, celebrate their strengths, and unlock their full potential. I understand that every family is unique, and I take a collaborative and individualized approach to coaching, tailoring my guidance to meet the specific needs and goals of each family. Rather than offering quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, I empower families with the tools, insights, and strategies they need to cultivate lasting change from within. By fostering self-awareness, resilience, and effective communication skills, I equip families with the resources to navigate challenges with confidence and grace. My ultimate goal as a family coach is to inspire families to embrace their journey with resilience, joy, and a sense of possibility. I believe in the power of transformational growth that extends far beyond our coaching sessions. Ready to embark on a transformative journey towards a happier, healthier family life?

I became a doula to not only heal from my traumatic birth expirence but also to help others hopefully avoid one all together. We as moms don't always have a village and if we do they might not have all the facts . I want to be that village for your family and help YOU make the best choices for YOUR family and YOUR baby.

"We had a homebirth after my traumatic hospital birth and she clarified everything for me . She made the environment so calming and powerful that I honestly had *almost* no pain up until transition. We did the gold plan and it was worth every penny especially with a goody bag on babies "birthday" " - copied and pasted for the client by the owner
