Hello, My name is Clarissa Mesquita and I'm a mother and doula. Olá! Meu nome é Clarissa Mesquita e eu sou mãe e doula.

I’m a Christian wife, mother, and RN who discovered a passion for birth work after having my own babies. I have been a birth doula since 2022 and a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), licensed since 2025. My midwifery practice is focused on faith and trust in the design of a woman’s and baby’s bodies to navigate the birth process. I work with my clients so that they can make informed decisions and consent. I consider myself a minimalist and love allowing the process unfold undisturbed unless absolutely necessary. As a birth doula, I have the most experience in attending unmedicated labors and do love to work with women who have this goal. However, I do still attend medicated births, planned or unplanned. I help my clients experience true informed consent so that they are empowered in their birth choices. In the labor room, I amplify their voice. I’m honored to witness every family’s birth that I have a chance to work with!

I am the proud owner of Grounded Mama LLC, and I have completed the Holistic Doula Certification through The Motrona. I hold a bachelor’s degree in healthcare management and a master’s degree in healthcare administration. My passion for supporting families during birth and postpartum periods stems from my own journey with infertility. My husband and I faced the challenges of infertility for six years before conceiving our oldest daughter through IVF and our youngest daughter naturally. Each of my pregnancies and births was different from what I had imagined. I entered motherhood with a sense of naivety and quickly encountered postpartum depression and anxiety. I struggled during my early motherhood journey because I did not realize how important it was to feel grounded in order to be the best version of myself as a mom. With Grounded Mama Doula Services, my goal is to uplift mothers and be a part of their support system. I aim to help them feel grounded throughout their motherhood journey, both during birth and postpartum, by addressing their needs and wants.

https://rootsandrestdoula.my.canva.site/ Hi, all! My name is Kiara and I am a full-spectrum certified doula, certified lactation specialist, and student lactation consultant — and a mom to three amazing boys — I’m passionate about walking beside families through every part of their journey. My work is rooted in compassion, education, and the belief that every parent deserves gentle, informed support. The name Roots & Rest came from my belief that families thrive when they are grounded in support and given time to rest. My work as a doula and lactation professional centers around helping parents feel steady, cared for, and confident as they have grow their roots in parenthood.

I’ve spent over a decade as a labor and delivery nurse inside hospital walls—standing beside women as monitors beeped, doctors rushed, and plans changed in an instant. But the moments that stuck with me weren’t just the medical ones. They were the moments when a woman felt completely alone—even with a room full of people. When she nodded through the doctor’s explanation but cried later because she didn’t understand what any of it meant for her and her baby. When she whispered, “I just want to enjoy this… but I don’t even know how anymore.” That’s why I created Hakuna Matata Mamas. To offer the kind of support I knew was missing: the kind that holds your hand through the hard, teaches you how to cope with the unknown, and reminds you that you still get to have a story you’re proud to share. I work with high-risk mamas who feel like the rug’s been pulled out from under them—who are doing their best to stay strong, but secretly just want someone to see behind the brave face. Through personalized hospital prep, nervous system tools, and real, compassionate guidance, I help you feel courageous and connected—so when the big day comes, it’s not just something you “get through.” It’s the best day of your life. Even if it didn’t go according to plan. Because how you feel during your birth matters. And you deserve to feel safe, supported, and sure of yourself—every step of the way.

I’m passionate about caring for others and supporting families in ways that truly meet their unique needs. I thrive in staying active and hands-on—whether that’s preparing nourishing, whole foods, creating organized and peaceful spaces, or offering guidance and support with breastfeeding.

Kindly, Iryna

I’m a Full Spectrum Doula, newborn care specialist, and boy mom. My infant care journey, trainings, and previous role as a nanny has allowed me to gain a plethora of knowledge about caring for both mothers and their newborns. It has also given me the privilege of supporting moms through the sleepless but undoubtedly euphoric times of the postpartum and newborn stages. I accomplish this by educating and encouraging my families while also providing evidence based care and comfort to their newborn. I know this is an immensely delicate time for every family but its my delight to help transition from womb to room.

As an infant to early childhood nanny, it has been my complete joy to witness parents blossom fully into their roles as loving, foundational caregivers for their children. In my time as a doula, that joy has increased tenfold as I have been able to witness the exact moment that this unconditional love and care is born. The birth of a new human is remarkable, but the birth of parents should be held and cherished just as thoughtfully and deeply. My philosophy as a doula is whole-family care; we got us, we take care of us by taking care of each other. I'd love to be a part of your journey whether you're adding your first or your tenth to your family. Sliding scale rates available: Birth $850-$1350 Postpartum $31-$36/hr
