My name is Deborah Bennett i am a Certified Postpartum Doula, certified Home Health Aide, experienced Newborn Care Specialist and certified in Adult and Pediatric CPR and First Aid, experienced in assisting families in the fourth trimester. Experienced in assisting with sleep training. I like working in the Virginia area. But i don't mind traveling for jobs. I have assisted 23 families so far in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Texas and California. I am from Jamaica and currently live in Virginia with my husband. I believe that with the right sensitive approach and careful assistance, a family can quickly adjust to their new addition to their family. Before i start a job, i carefully assess the family's dynamics to determine their unique needs. I am here to meet each family wherever they are. Supporting them through tangible tasks, navigating feedings, diaper changes, baby's laundry, sleep training and light cleaning up, while nourishing them with home-cooked meals, or simply holding non-judgmental talk space for anything that's on their mind. My unltimate goal is to empower the parents, providing them with the resources, knowledge and skills they will need to continue the postpartum journey comfortably even when my duties ends. Allowing the mother to rest and recover quicker, also allowing the father to rest as well. For bookings i can be contacted by my cell: 934-867-6890 or email: bennettdebbie7575@gmail.com

Greetings, My name is Shaniqua Moore. I am a Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula. I have over 15 years of experience in the human service and healthcare field, collaborating with organizations to assist the community in wellness. I am also a Qualified Mental Health Professional and a educator.

I'm Sam! I provide birth and postpartum support routed in calm guidance, education and emotional support. Every parent deserves to feel supported, informed and respected. My role as a doula is to protect your space and help you feel grounded in every stage from birth to labor and postpartum recovery. I walk beside you in one of life's most transformative journey.

Hello/Shalom!♥️ Im Judith☺️ Mom of 8 beautiful children, Birth/Postpartum Doula, Herbalist, and Childbirth educator. I like to take the more Holistic route with birth with as less interventions as possible as I do believe the woman’s body simply just knows what to do, BUT I’m completely open to all angles of birth (homebirth, birth center, Hospital) as I’m here to serve and protect 🥰.

I am a postpartum doula certified through DONA International, a lactation consultant trained through The Healthy Children Project, and a Ayurvedic masseur certified through The California College or Ayurveda. I’m a personal chef that specializes in postpartum nutrition and have a catalogue of frozen stews, broths and soups to choose from if you need inspiration for your meal planning. I meet prenatally to help organize the home, nursery and any other members of the support team. (Outlining responsibilities and expectations is work that is best done in advance.) I provide a newborn care class and a lactation class as well as meal prep for soups, stews and broths to be frozen. I always encourage my clients to try to book me for a visit right after the birth while in the hospital for lactation support and a modified version of my Ayurvedic massage. Once the family is home I cook nourishing foods rich in iron, protein, collagen, micro and macro nutrients to aid in recovery from depletion and help speed healing. (I also have a Postpartum Soup Bundle that can be purchased ahead of time.) I do dishes, laundry and of course provide even more lactation support. I can also simply care for the newborn while parents sleep. After the first few weeks the focus tends to shift into finding a daily rhythm, newborn care techniques and education on developmentally appropriate sleep habits for the baby. I also help parents with planning childcare help. I can be a sleep consultant one day and provide a massage the next. Maybe I play with the older children while mama naps with the newborn. Sometimes the work is just to sit and talk about all the things that the parents are struggling with. My job and my life’s joy is to simply be an extra set of hands or a sympathetic ear to new parents.

My name is Sasha, and I am a mom of two with a passion for birth education and support. I am a certified full-spectrum birth and bereavement doula for any and all types of people and births, as well as a Certified Lactation Counselor. I believe birth is a sacred experience, and you deserve a doula that honors and facilitates that!

My name is Ashley Gopaul. I am a state certified full spectrum Doula & Certified Lactation Consultant. I started my journey as a doula in 2021 while finishing my last semester at VCU with my Bachelors in Health Sciences. I started with Birth In Color RVA as an intern finishing my requirements for graduation and left my internship ….as a doula ! Working as a doula is truly such a rewarding field as I am allowed the opportunity to create a safe space for my clients to be vulnerable, empowered, deconstruct stigmas, and really get into their lives to optimize a safe birth as well as set them up for a successful start to parenthood. With the help of my mentor and experience, I then opened “Lily’s Birth Boutique,” to further expand support to my community. Whether I am helping a first time or a fifth time parent, every experience is so unique and is truly a learning experience even for myself. On a personal note, my side interests and hobbies include playing with interior design, spending time with family, and dance !

I'm a certified postpartum doula and certified breastfeeding specialist living in Richmond, VA. I've been doing this work for over 11 years, and I feel so honored to walk the early months of life with a new baby or babies alongside the families I serve. It's a beautiful, vulnerable time full of questions, joys, and concerns, and I love supporting families through all of it. I have extra training and expertise in supporting breastfeeding/chest feeding, since so many of parents' early concerns revolve around feeding, and there is not enough good lactation help available to most families. I work with first-time parents and those expecting their second, third, or more babies- everyone's needs are a bit different, but everyone can use extra hands and a listening ear during this time of transition. I would love to chat with you to get to know you and your family!
