Jayde Schou

Hello there! My name is Jayde and I am a wife, mother of 2, and Certified Birth Doula for the central Florida area. Assisting others in feeling safe, supported, and empowered throughout their birth is my passion and I would love nothing more than to do so for you! I provide emotional, informational, and physical support for every birth type whether that be in a hospital, birth center, or homebirth setting. I believe it's important each person find the right fit for them, so I provide a free meet & greet interview to all potential clients. Every mom deserves a doula, and every baby deserves a peaceful and happy welcome on their birthday.

Jayde is a true gem in the world of birth support, and her presence can truly make a difference in your birthing experience. I recently welcomed my baby girl unmedicated, in the quiet environment of my own home. I couldn’t have done this without the unwavering support of Jayde as my doula. Jayde is nothing short of phenomenal. Since the first day we met, she showed up prepared to listen, understand my needs, talk over my fears and doubts, and offered many resources to prepare for D-day and postpartum. During the birthing process, Jayde knew how to guide me to follow intuitively what my body needed, offered various options to ease and soothe the labor intensity. Her repeated affirmations and physical strength supported me in pushing through many physical and mental edges of labor. She also skillfully created a space that allowed my partner to actively participate while providing the physical cues and mental strength needed to navigate the process. Jayde is selfless; she is fully present and focused on supporting her clients. This, and more, makes her an outstanding, reliable doula to add to your team.

Menita Brown

Hello, I’m Menita Aka Nita , a certified doula and the heart behind Royal Goddess Doula. With a background in childcare. I’ve spent the last year and half passionately supporting families through one of life’s most transformative experiences: bringing a new soul into the world. My journey into doula work was inspired by my two best friends and their journey to motherhood and support and scary situations they were in during labor and delivery . I realized that every family’s birthing journey is profoundly unique and deserves individualized emotional, physical, and informational support. I offer a variety of services tailored to your needs, including prenatal consultations, continuous labor support, and postpartum care. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practice and a deep respect for the natural process of childbirth. I aim to provide a nurturing, safe, and empowering environment for you and your family, helping you make informed choices that align with your personal birth plan. I’d be honored to be a part of your birthing team and support you in creating the birth experience you desire.

Menita is an incredible doula. She truly brings you comfort, confidence, charisma and makes you feel like the Goddess you are. Having her for your birth experience is incredible, she sets up an ambience of warmth, soothing music, dim lights and just the right amount of encouragement to bring the beautiful life into the world. Not only does she support you and guide you through prenatal care, labor and delivery, she also tenderly cares for you during postpartum. When you need that nurturing and empathy the most, she is right by your side. I Highly recommend to have Menita as your doula.

About Me I’m a birth and postpartum doula who’s passionate about helping families feel supported, heard, and confident throughout their journey into parenthood. I am also a mom to two little girls & have experience myself in medicated hospital birth & home birth. I believe birth looks different for everyone, and there’s no one “right” way to do it. Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth, home birth, an epidural, or a cesarean, I’m here to support your choices, cheer you on, and make sure you feel cared for every step of the way. How I Support You We’ll spend 2–3 prenatal visits getting to know each other, talking through your birth preferences, and practicing comfort measures so you feel ready for the big day. When labor begins, I’ll be right there with calm, steady support, helping you navigate each moment while following your lead. My hope is that you walk away from your birth feeling heard, respected, and supported, knowing you had someone by your side who genuinely cared about your experience.❤️

Hi, I'm Elli, a certified birth and postpartum doula and childbirth educator based in Lake Alfred, Florida. As your doula, my goal is to be a calm, steady presence throughout your journey into parenthood. I listen without judgment, provide clear and evidence-based information, and help you understand your options so you can make decisions that feel right for you and your family. Rather than promoting a particular approach to birth, I believe in supporting your choices and helping you feel informed, confident, and empowered every step of the way. Most importantly, I'll remind you to trust yourself, because no one knows your body, your baby, or your values better than you do. When I'm not supporting families, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband and our rescue dog, Cora, at the gym, baking sourdough bread, or dreaming up home improvement projects that my husband may or may not be excited about.

I don’t think there are words that could possibly come close to describing the level of professionalism, warmth, authenticity and compassion that our family experienced while having Elli as our doula. She was incredibly communicative the entire time, provided her expertise when it came to writing a birth plan, and you can tell her heart is in every aspect in how she supports. We especially appreciated the post partum support sessions, our twin toddlers LOVE Elli, and her baking. Having her come help out with them was such a BIG way to support our family after adding a newborn. We would hire her again in a heart beat. If you are looking for birth support, she is THE ONE!

Catherine was a fantastic doula and such a wonderful source of support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She was always calm, caring, and easy to talk to, and from the very beginning, I felt like I could talk to her like a friend. When I had fears and concerns about labor, she was always responsive, kind, and supportive, helping me to feel heard and reassured. I had underestimated how much support I would need postpartum and how challenging recovery and breastfeeding would be. Catherine brought over meals and snacks and spent time with me as I processed my birth experience. Her kindness and presence made such a difference during a difficult and vulnerable time, and I’m so grateful for her support. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a doula!
