Hi, I’m Liz Manoah, BSN, RN, IBCLC, a registered nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant based in Central Florida. I’m passionate about supporting families through every stage of infant feeding, whether they are breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, combo feeding, or simply trying to find a plan that feels sustainable for their family. My background includes years of experience in women’s health, mother-baby care, hospital-based lactation, outpatient lactation support, and family education. I love helping parents feel more confident, informed, and supported during what can be one of the most beautiful, overwhelming, and emotional seasons of life. Through The Breastfeeding Cafe, my goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space where families can receive evidence-based lactation care, practical feeding support, and encouragement that meets them exactly where they are. I believe every family deserves compassionate guidance, realistic options, and care that supports both the baby’s needs and the parent’s well-being.

Strength in Serenity is the embodiment and the symbol of the ceremonial rite of passage that occurs during the birthing moment. I started Strength in Serenity in September 2025. As a part of my spiritual journey, I knew I had to be of service to fulfill my purpose and being a Doula resonated with my soul. As a Doula I will be providing emotional, physical, and informational support that will be deeply satisfying and rewarding. As a Doula I feel that not only will I be fulfilling my souls’ purpose, but I will also be able to give back to the community as well. Truly a Blessing!

Michelle Resnick

21 years of experience

I am a career nanny specializing in newborn and postpartum care, certified in all aspects of NCS, and deeply passionate about supporting families during the earliest weeks of a baby’s life. What sets me apart is my understanding of babies at their core I am trained in the Dunstan Baby Language, which allows me to recognize that babies are communicating from day one. By interpreting their cues accurately, I can meet their needs promptly, helping both baby and parents feel confident and supported. My approach to newborn care combines the attentiveness of a certified newborn specialist with the practicality and warmth of a nanny. I aim to make every family’s experience comfortable, organized, and nurturing not an extended hospital stay. I manage all aspects of nursery care, including restocking changing stations, organizing wardrobes and baby laundry, advising on items to purchase, knowing when to move up in diaper sizes, pacifiers, and bottle nipples, and managing baby nutrition and breastfeeding support. I am attentive to subtle cues for congestion, acid reflux, and other newborn concerns, providing guidance to parents with care and reassurance. Beyond the essentials, I make the most of babies’ small wake windows reading to them, doing tummy time, mirror play, floor play, and other developmental activities that are often overlooked in the newborn period. I believe these early interactions are critical for growth, bonding, and joy. I choose not to wear scrubs, preferring comfortable, professional attire that keeps the household feeling warm and approachable. I find that removing the medical atmosphere allows everyone especially other children in the home to feel at ease and keeps the energy light and positive. My goal is to provide a holistic, confident, and joyful approach to newborn care, helping families navigate this special time with calm, expertise, and heart.

Giovana Manfro Rorato

6 years of experience

I’m an IBCLC with 6 years of experience supporting families through evidence-based, compassionate lactation care, and I have over 14 years of experience as a physician in Brazil. My approach blends science, clinical knowledge, and lived experience — including my own complex breastfeeding journey. I focus on thoughtful, individualized support, incorporating tools like red light therapy to improve comfort and promote healing, so mothers can continue breastfeeding with confidence. My goal is to meet families where they are and help make breastfeeding more supported, informed, and sustainable.

I was in need of a lactation consultant as soon as possible, and Giovanna was able to come out to my house the very next day. Even though I had taken a lactation course prior to my newborn arriving, I was experiencing significant pain and nipple damage. I knew I needed to address the issue quickly before it got worse, and Giovanna helped me immensely. She provided a very detailed consultation, used red light therapy to help heal my nipples, and corrected my baby’s latch. Thanks to her support, I’m now able to breastfeed completely pain free, and my nipples have fully healed. She was extremely professional, informative, and supportive throughout the entire process. I’m so grateful to now be able to breastfeed my newborn comfortably.

Keneda lynch

6 years of experience

My name is Keneda Lynch, MSN, BSW, RN, IBCLC, and I am the Lead Lactation Consultant at a local hospital and owner of Latch of Love Lactation Services. With years of experience supporting mothers and babies in both the hospital and home settings, my approach centers on nourishing the relationship between parent and child through evidence-based care, compassion, and realistic guidance. I believe every family deserves support that feels safe, judgment-free, and tailored to their unique feeding journey—whether that includes exclusive breastfeeding, combination feeding, pumping, or navigating early challenges. My philosophy is simple: empower parents with knowledge, meet them where they are, and walk alongside them with empathy and encouragement so they can feel confident, connected, and supported in the fourth trimester and beyond.

I had my first prenatal consultation with Keneda and it truly went amazing. She was so incredibly personable, warm, and really easy to talk to which made me feel comfortable right away! She took the time to throughly explain breastfeeding, including latching techniques, hand expressing, and what to realistically expect once my baby arrives so I’m well prepared. I really appreciate how patient and knowledgeable she was, she didn’t rush through anything and made sure all my questions were answered. I definitely feel more confident and prepared for my breastfeeding journey and can’t wait to continue learning from her once my baby arrives and get that hands on guidance and support. It’s also amazing that she offers in home visits which makes the whole experience 10x better and convenient during such an important time. I highly recommend her to any other mamas looking for guidance and support, you’ll definitely be in good hands!

Sizzly was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and with a lot of experience which made me feel she is very trustworthy and that my home birth was in great hands. Love that she prayed over my baby’s birth and received guidance intuitively from the Lord. She was very encouraging when I needed it most and didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile. If i had to do it all again, I would definitely pick Sizzly as my midwife again. 10/10 recommend for anyone considering a home birth.

Valentina Guzman

9 years of experience

Hello I’m Valentina! Let me start by saying I have a true passion for maternity. I have been a Birth Doula for over 6 years and have multiple other titles under my belt as well. My goal is to ensure each of my clients have a strong support system and foundation to flourish in their maternal journey. I look forward to working with you all!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from my doula, Valentina, throughout my pregnancy and birth. From the very beginning, Valentina was a source of unwavering encouragement, knowledge, and comfort. During my pregnancy, Valentina provided invaluable guidance on everything from prenatal care to preparing for the baby's arrival. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how big or small, and she made sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way. Her warmth and empathy made me feel truly cared for, and her expertise gave me the peace of mind I needed. As my due date approached, I had a strong desire to achieve a natural birth. Valentina was instrumental in helping me make this dream a reality. She offered evidence-based advice on natural birth techniques and helped me create a birth plan that aligned with my goals. During labor, Valentina was a calming and reassuring presence, providing both emotional support and practical assistance. She used various comfort measures, such as massages, counter pressures and breathing techniques, to help me manage the intensity of labor. Thanks to Valentina's support, I was able to have the natural birth I had hoped for. Her belief in my ability to birth naturally and her unwavering support made all the difference. I felt empowered and strong throughout the entire process, and I couldn't have done it without her. Valentina is not just a doula; she is a true advocate and has also become a life long friend. Her dedication to her clients is evident in everything she does. I highly recommend Valentina to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive doula. She made and continues to make a profound impact on my pregnancy as I am expecting my second baby. I will be forever grateful for her presence in my life.

Vonda Osborn

6 years of experience

Hello, my name is Vonda Osborn and I am the owner of Baby Bump Birthing Services. I service the Orlando and central Florida area. I have 6 children of my own and truly love helping other moms navigate the journey of pregnancy, labor, postpartum and motherhood. I am a completely judgement free zone. What ever you are hoping for your birth I want to help achieve it. My motto is your baby, your body my support. In my free time I enjoy event organizing and just being with my family.

My husband and I decided to hire a doula a little bit reluctantly, not really knowing what we needed or how beneficial it would be. When I met Vonda, I immediately got this sense that she was caring and compassionate but yet also very competent and confident in her work as a Doula. This gave me so much comfort, and regardless of whether our goal was to deliver at home, a birth center, or hospital, she was willing to support us and our choices and not try to impose opinions on us unless we asked for them (which was huge since opinions can run very strong and extreme on opposite spectrums in the birth world). What I loved most about the idea of hiring her, beyond being able to trust her and know she was for us, was that she would be the consistency in my care from prenatal to delivery to postpartum. This birth was going to be with my second child but I was hoping to have a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) birth, so everything about labor and birth would be a new experience for me. She met with us twice during my 3rd trimester. Those meetings were incredibly informative and brought us so much peace leading up to what was foreign territory to us. She talked with us about our birth plan and let us know what our options were, taught my husband and I physical comfort techniques that could be helpful during labor, and also educated us on the birth process and what would happen to my body and with the baby during the process. Having the ability to contact her anytime after we hired her to get her input and feedback was so helpful. My husband wanted to be as involved and helpful to me as he could but he also didn't know what to expect and I didn't know what I would need, He really appreciated everything Vonda taught us beforehand, but then also having her with us during the birth to help him help me and to be our voice at the hospital since she knew our wishes and could speak for us while my mind was focused on having a baby and my husband was focused on me. Aspects of everything she prepared us for came into play when labor started, and I can't imagine going through labor and birth without having been as prepared as I felt, even when I still didn't know what to expect. Hiring Vonda as our Doula was worth every penny! I would highly recommend her to any mama AND her support person. She was there for me AND my husband, and if we did it again, we'd definitely have Vonda with us!

Julie Winter

12 years of experience

Hey there! My name is Julie Winter. I am board certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and RN. I have been serving moms and babies for 12 years now as a lactation consultant and an RN with all of my focus either in pediatrics or maternal health for the last 18 years. I use my expert assessment skills and knowledge of infant development to guide my families through the journey of caring for their newest little addition. Parents need a cheer leader and someone who's been there and done that a time or two...or four, to support them through sleepless nights and the fog that is early parenthood. I am located in Winter Garden Florida and service the surrounding Orlando area.

My newborn and I were having a bit of a struggle with breastfeeding until I found Julie with Cradled Arms. She was a true help and answer to prayer! She was so helpful teaching & showing me how to help my baby latch, using resources, and giving encouragement. Julie went above and beyond in providing help and information on breastfeeding and even bottle feeding, which by the way, did you know your little one could still need help getting the correct latch with a bottle? Yea, me either until Julie taught me! She made my little one and I feel comfortable and heard and was there for us to have a successful breastfeeding journey. Highly recommend seeing Julie.

Miatta Kingg-Carr

4 years of experience

Hi there ! My name is Miatta and I would love to assist in your family’s postpartum journey. I am caring, nurturing and enjoy assisting with newborn care, family adjustment, emotional and physical recovery from birth and so much more. I look forward to hearing about how I can help you and your family.

Miatta was fantastic and very caring oriented to what I needed after I had my daughter Sophia. I am a new single mom who had no one to support or be there for me. I was honored to have Mia by my side during the birth of my daughter. She provided me with meals through the day and evening, even made some to freeze for when I would be doing things on my own. She helped with night feedings, diaper changes, assisted with helping me heal from after birth by providing baths and showers. She helped with getting us to our appointments and taking part in those. She was very encouraging and always had a positive attitude towards me when I would be feeling at my lowest and discouraged when it came trying to get my little one to latch on for nursing. The care and attentiveness she gave Sophia and I was more than I expected and could have asked for from anyone else. I could not have asked for a better person to help in my recovery and postpartum care that first week home from the hospital.

Payton Kaar

5 years of experience

Hi, I’m Payton I’m a full spectrum doula who supports families through fertility, birth, postpartum, abortion, and loss. My heart work is helping women step into their innate power and knowledge so they can birth confidently and autonomously. In postpartum, I find joy in nurturing and nourishing mama so she can focus on healing and rediscovering herself. My goal is to bring back community care, traditional healing practices, and ancient wisdom.

We were so fortunate to have Payton with us during our triplet girls’ first year of life. She began as our overnight doula when they were newborns and later transitioned into their full-time nanny while we worked. Caring for three babies at once is no small task, yet Payton handled it with consistency, dependability, and so much love. She has a calm, soft-spoken presence that was incredibly comforting in those early months. Her experience with newborns truly stood out as she seemed to know exactly what each baby needed and provided the highest level of care. Beyond caring for the girls, she also kept our kitchen tidy and made sure supplies were always stocked, which lifted a huge weight off our shoulders as new parents. What stood out most was the joy Payton clearly took in caring for the girls, and how much they adored her in return. The bond she formed with them was so special, and we always felt complete peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. We are deeply grateful for her support during such an important season of our lives and couldn’t recommend her more highly.
