Baby Sleep Consultants & Coaches Near Me in Henrico, VA

Hello! My name is Telisha Woodfin, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, Certified Doula, Certified Educator of Infant Massage, and the founder of LIVLoved Family Support. Through LIVLoved, I provide postpartum doula care, virtual coaching, and infant massage education to families from birth through age five. With more than 20 years of experience supporting children and families in early intervention, mental health, and developmental disabilities, I believe every family deserves support that feels safe, compassionate, and aligned with their unique values and needs. My approach is relationship-based, trauma-informed, and focused on helping parents build confidence, connection, and calm during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of parenting. I am especially passionate about supporting families navigating NICU experiences, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, medically complex journeys, multiples, sibling transitions, and perinatal or infant loss. When I'm not working with families, I enjoy cooking, listening to music, spending time with family, friends, and godchildren, and exploring my newfound love of gardening. My guiding mantra is simple: Give love. Receive love. Live loved. Learn more at www.livloved.com.

I am a birth , postpartum doula, and a newborn care specialist. I have been a Doula for 3 years, with over 10 years as a childcare provider. I pride my self on giving my clients the best quality care that includes evidence based information. I am also VBAC certified and working on my PhD in Holistic Medicine. I provide nighttime care for babies also.

I am a birth and postpartum doula as well as a newborn care specialist and infant sleep training consultant serving the Richmond, VA area. I have been involved in birth work since 1992. I have 13 children that I have delivered at home and in a hospital setting with both doctors and midwives.

Hi! I’m Jodie. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, and a NICU-informed doula. I’m a certified perinatal meditation guide, sound healer, and prenatal yoga teacher, so I really love bringing calm, practical tools into the birth space. I teach a prenatal birth prep course and specialize in helping families use evidence-based coping tools, breathwork, and mindfulness to reduce stress and anxiety throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I’ve experienced inductions, epidurals, unmedicated labor, cesareans, and a NICU stay, between my births and my past clients, so I understand how different every journey can be. My husband and I have two daughters. They’re 6 and 1. Outside of doula work, I enjoy practicing music, learning Korean, crocheting, and unwinding with good movies, books, and music.

At Goddess Apothecary Birthworker/Doula, I believe every birth journey is unique and deserves compassionate, personalized care. From prenatal preparation through labor, birth, and postpartum, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational guidance to help you feel prepared, informed, and confident. Whether you choose to give birth at home, in a birth center, or in a hospital, I am there to offer reassurance, comfort techniques, encouragement, and knowledgeable guidance while honoring your preferences and the birth experience you envision. My philosophy is simple: You deserve to feel heard, respected, empowered, and cared for. I am here not to direct your journey, but to walk beside you—helping you understand your options, communicate your needs, and feel confident in the decisions you make for yourself and your baby. That care continues after birth with postpartum guidance as your family adjusts, bonds, and begins this new chapter. My goal is to provide a nurturing and reassuring presence that helps you approach birth and parenthood with greater confidence, connection, and peace of mind.

I have been a birth doula for ten years, a CLC for six years and a postpartum doula for three years. I came to birthwork after the births of my two oldest children- we had excellent support through two very different birth experiences and that put me on this path to supporting other families. I trained with Therese Hak-Kuhn of ToLabor, and while in the midst of having children attended births occasionally for a few years, and have been doing full time doula work since 2022. I work at a group practice with an excellent backup system. My team provides five prenatal touchpoints and on call support starting at 38 weeks until your baby is born, as well as two postpartum visits. I support clients in hospital and out of hospital settings. Between the training I received at the ToLabor workshop and my own personal experiences, I grew to shape my philosophy on what my role is. Having experienced a wide variety of outcomes welcoming my own five children - one unmedicated hospital birth, one home birth transfer cesarean, and three home birth VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) I've learned there is no one right way to give birth! My goal is to get to know each client as well as I can to best anticipate your needs during labor and birth! No two clients are the same just as no two births are the same, and knowing your preferences and how you take in information helps me show up the best way possible when you need me most!

I am a mom of 2 and postpartum doula. I am also training to be a lactation counselor. Until recently, I worked as an engineer. I decided to change paths to have a more fulfilling career and more time with my little ones. I believe that growing families thrive when they receive high quality support! I want to be that support and help families like mine enjoy the little moments with their brand new tiny humans.

I have been working in the perinatal support field since July 2020 as a breastfeeding peer counselor and then as a birth doula. My own experiences with birth and breastfeeding led me to birth work—I was inspired to support others the way I had been supported. Birth and parenthood has a way of helping us discover strengths we didn't know we had. It is the greatest honor of my life to help my clients find their own strength along their unique journey into parenthood.

I love to serve and educate women during their journey into motherhood. I am a good listener, and I will be your biggest encourager.

Homeschool mother of 5, ages 3-23. I absolutely LOVE teaching and learning; which has led me here! I'm a birth and postpartum doula (I have a postpartum agency and I'm a doula trainer). I'm a lactation consultant and I teach childbirth education by way of HypnoBirthing. Basically, if pregnancy and families are involved it's right up my alley!!

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!

My aim is to earn the trust of my clients to guide them through their perinatal experiences and choices, but more impactfully to connect them with their own intrinsic wisdom and intuition. Supporting the PARTNER (if applicable) to support the birthing person through labor is my approach (dictated by comfort level, obviously) . As someone with a history of ED and body dysmorphia I have a passion for supporting people who have had or do have similar struggles. I am relatedly an active advocate against medical fatphobia and the associated myriad of non-evidence based biases against fat pregnant folks. My work is informed greatly by my own perinatal experiences, particularly in the realms of both birth plans and feeding plans changing, and the importance of the diagnosis and treatment of later onset postpartum mood disorders. In my free time I like to dismantle systems of white supremacy and patriarchy, tend to my indoor jungle, and build marble mazes with my kiddo.

Hi! My name is Shae, and I would love an opportunity to connect with your family. I bring six years of hands-on childcare experience, including three years working at a swim school and three years as a full-time nanny. I have recently finished my postpartum doula course. Through roles, I've had the privilege of caring for children from newborn through 12 years old, supporting them through different developmental stages with patience, creativity, and consistency. I am also currently pursuing my Bachelor Degree of Social Work. Working at a swim school I was able to to manage multiple personalities, ensure safety at all times, and build confidence in children as they learned new skills. As a full-time nanny, I've provided individualized care-supporting routines, creating age-appropriate activities, insuring milestones are being met, preparing meals, and partnering closely with parents to maintain a nurturing and structured environment. While I truly enjoy working with all ages, my favorite stage is newborn to 4 years old. I love the curiosity, rapid development, and sweet personality growth that happens during those years. Supporting little ones as they learn to walk, talk, explore, and express themselves is incredibly rewarding to me. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and how I can best support your needs.

Hi! I'm Candice, a trained and experienced Newborn Care Specialist. I am also CPR/First Aid certified. I support families with newborn routines, safe sleep, feeding schedules, bathing, soothing techniques and postpartum support. As a mother of four, I understand how important it is to have someone calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable in your home. In my free time I enjoy being near the water and learning about others. And my main goal is to create a peaceful judgment- free environment where babies and families can thrive.

Hi, I’m Kayla Wamsley, a birth doula committed to helping women feel empowered, supported, and in control of their birth experiences. As a mom myself, I understand the deep emotions, excitement, and sometimes uncertainty that can come with pregnancy and birth. My own journey into motherhood ignited my passion for birth work and showed me just how important it is to feel heard, respected, and fully supported during this transformative time. I believe that every woman deserves to feel confident and at peace as she welcomes her baby into the world, no matter the setting. Whether you're planning a natural hospital birth, are unsure of your options, or simply want someone by your side advocating for your wishes, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

Hi, I’m Siedah Israel, a Certified Labor Doula, Holistic Wellness Practitioner, and Certified Herbalist based in Fredericksburg in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. I’m a wife of 15 years and a homeschooling mother of five. My wellness and birth advocacy journey began with earning a certificate in Massage Therapy from Eastern Virginia Career College in 2018. I later completed my Doula Certification through Germanna Community College in 2024 and graduated with honors in Herbal Studies from the American College of Healthcare Sciences in 2025. I am currently in Phase I of the PEP process as I work toward becoming a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). I have extensive experience supporting families through hospital births, birth center births, and home births. Personally, I have experienced three hospital births and two home births, which deeply informs the care, perspective, and support I offer to the families I serve. When I’m not supporting families, I enjoy homeschooling, spending time outdoors with my children, writing poetry, working on my werewolf novel, and handcrafting natural hair and skincare products. It is a true honor to walk alongside families with compassion, cultural awareness, and grounded support during such a sacred season of life.

Hello all I'm Joy! I am a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist who is currently working on my clinical hours to obtain my IBCLC Certification. I am enrolled in an internship at our local hospital and am loving all the new Moms and Babies I'm able to assist! Working with experienced mentors is a privilege and so beneficial to my skills as a LC. I also work in our area as a Postpartum Doula as time allows. If you need virtual lactation support outside of our area I am happy to offer that too. I'm a Mom of 6 including twins and a grandmother to 2! Let me offer my experience and advice to help you along your Motherhood journey!

Hi, I’m Morgan, a birth doula with a deep passion for supporting women through the sacred and powerful journey of pregnancy and birth. Outside of birth work, you can often find me hiking, camping, traveling, walking my two corgis, reading, spending time with my husband and son, or serving my church and local community. My heart for women’s health began during my very first OB/GYN appointment as a teenager, when I had to navigate a complicated diagnosis and a series of confusing and often scary interactions with specialists. Years later, after facing complications during the birth of my son, my passion for informed care and patient advocacy only grew stronger. That experience not only taught me the importance of understanding my health and my options, but it also deepened my trust in the Lord. Through it all, my faith grew as I leaned into His strength during a season full of unknowns. Since then, I’ve become deeply committed to helping women feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout their reproductive journeys. My journey led me to work on a research team developing an intrauterine balloon stent to help treat Asherman’s Syndrome—a role that involved shadowing OB/GYNs and midwives and sparked a deeper appreciation for the science behind pregnancy and birth. I truly believe that birth is not only fascinating from a medical standpoint, but also incredibly beautiful and sacred. Today, I feel called to walk alongside women in their most vulnerable and transformative moments—offering education, advocacy, and unwavering support as they step into motherhood.

Hi, I’m Ms. Tory—yes, the same person you see here as Tory W! I’m the founder and Creative Director of The Maternal Concierge. Take a moment to look me up and read the reviews from families I’ve supported. I’ll wait. Now that you’re back, let me share the heart behind this network. After more than 30 years caring for children and supporting families, I’ve seen how often parents navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood without enough connected support. They may find someone for one need, then feel alone trying to figure out what comes next. That’s why I created The Maternal Concierge alongside trusted colleagues in Virginia’s perinatal community: to help fill those gaps and build continuity of care. We connect families with doulas, newborn care specialists, lactation support, mental health professionals, wellness providers, and postpartum support teams. Our shared purpose is to care for the whole family and help parents feel seen, supported, and less alone. I’m also the founder of Whispering Lullabies and creator of the Sacred Sleep Method, a gentle, nervous-system-informed approach centered on connection, regulation, and emotional safety. Whether I’m supporting a family directly or connecting them with another professional, my goal is the same: to help parents feel heard, confident, and supported through each new chapter. If you’re unsure what kind of support you need, that’s a good place to begin. Let’s help you find your village.
