My name is Miriam Philostin, I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula located in Riviera Beach Florida. Everything about pregnancy, postpartum support and babies excite me! I am a registered nurse with a specialty in child and adolescent behavioral health. I have learned that early intervention and support for parents is key to mental health well-being and self sufficiency. Which will in return, provide moms the ability to take care of themselves and nurture their babies. My goal is not to just be there during pregnancy, labor, and delivery…but to also be that resource now, and beyond. By having four children of my own, all different ages and three grandchildren (also my doula babies), I know it takes a village! Let me be apart of your village. I thank you in advance for allowing me to help you bring your bundle of joys into this world.

My name is Celina Moore, MD, FAAP and I am a pediatrician based in South Florida with over twenty years experience. Being a pediatrician is incredibly rewarding because it allows me to make a profound impact on both children and their families. I love the unique blend of science and compassion required to care for young patients—helping them grow, thrive, and stay healthy. Each day brings new challenges, but also moments of joy as I build lasting relationships with families and watch children reach their milestones. The ability to guide children through their most formative years and provide support during times of illness or uncertainty is a privilege I cherish deeply. There's nothing more fulfilling than knowing I’ve played a part in a child’s well-being, health, and future. My passions include spending time with my three children, traveling, enjoying the company of friends, and curling up with a good book. I am also the medical director of a nonprofit that I co-founded with my husband where we provide medical outreach care in rural Ghana.

Choosing Dayna as my doula was one of the most empowering decisions I made during my pregnancy. I was planning a freebirth and wanted someone by my side who not only respected my autonomy, but also deeply understood the spiritual and instinctual nature of birth. Dayna was that person—and so much more. From the beginning, she held space for my choices without judgment. She offered guidance rooted in wisdom, experience, and deep trust in the birthing process. Her presence gave me the confidence to lean fully into my body and my baby, knowing I was never alone in the journey—even though I chose to birth without medical assistance. Dayna was calm, intuitive, and hands-off in the best way, always available when I needed her but never imposing. She brought peace into the space and honored every aspect of my process, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you’re seeking someone who will walk beside you with reverence, respect, and belief in your power, Dayna is that guide. She doesn’t just support birth—she honors it as sacred. I am forever grateful.

My name is Cheryl Alphonse, and I’m a Newborn Care Specialist with over 15 years of experience supporting families through one of the most transformative times in life—welcoming a new baby. Originally from the island of St. Lucia, I bring a nurturing, intuitive approach to newborn care, blending traditional, heart-led caregiving with modern, evidence-based practices. I’ve had the honor of caring for singletons, twins, triplets, and premature babies, and I specialize in creating calm, structured routines that support healthy sleep, feeding, and bonding. My philosophy is rooted in love, patience, and empowerment. I believe every baby is unique and every parent deserves to feel confident, supported, and rested. Whether I’m helping a first-time parent understand feeding cues or guiding a family through sleep transitions, I approach my work with compassion, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity. I’m also trained in lactation support and currently pursuing my degree in Behavioral Health Science with an emphasis on Infancy and Early Childhood Studies to continue deepening my knowledge and care. My goal is always to create a peaceful environment where both baby and family can thrive.

Cheryl is incredible! As a first time mom, I had no idea what I was doing. I am somebody who needs a lot of sleep in order to function, and my husband has a very demanding job so we decided to hire a night nurse for a few weeks to help us out. Cheryl taught me everything I need to know about how to be a mom to my daughter. She was so helpful that we ended up keeping her for three months! By the time Cheryl left, I felt fully confident and taking care of my daughter (who slept 12 hours straight a night thanks to Cheryl.) You can see and feel how much Cheryl loves her job and loves babies. I will be forever grateful to her and will be having her back for any future babies 🤍
