Cannot say enough good things about Candice!! Candice was an amazing post partum doula! She helped us through the night for the first month after our daughter was born. Her expertise, holistic approach and positive, reassuring demeanor was exactly what we needed during one of the craziest, most special times for us. Highly recommend!!

Words fail to express our gratitude for Tina’s help, confidence and guidance in helping us meet our daughter. It has been such a positive experience working with her and having her be a part of our childbirth journey. From her kind words, comforting touch and calming presence - we could not have imagined this time in our life without her. She was there for my husband and I in so many irreplaceable ways - from replying to all my random texts at all hours to advocating for my concerns and our safety in such a vulnerable chapter. Thank you so much Tina! I’d definitely recommend working with Tina Jackson as your doula.

About Me I’m a birth and postpartum doula who believes every family deserves to feel seen, supported, and fully in control of their birthing experience. My approach is grounded in warmth, respect, and deep listening. I honor each parent’s unique vision—whether they want an unmedicated birth, an epidural or a planned cesarean. My goal is to create a space where you feel informed, empowered, and truly cared for during one of the most transformative times of your life. How I Support My Clients I offer 2–3 prenatal visits where we get to know each other, explore your birth preferences, practice comfort measures, and help you feel confident heading into labor. Throughout your birth, I’m there with steady, calm support—physically, emotionally, and informationally—always following your lead and advocating for what matters most to you. After your baby arrives, I provide a postpartum visit to help you settle in, debrief your birth if you’d like, and make sure you feel supported as you navigate early parenthood. My care adapts to your needs; whatever you want your birth and postpartum journey to look like, I’m there to walk beside you.

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!

Hi, I’m Rachel—the heart behind Renewed Birth Company 🤍 I’m a birth doula, educator, and VBAC mom passionate about helping women feel informed, supported, and confident in their birth journey. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or hoping for a different experience after a cesarean, my goal is to walk alongside you with education, encouragement, and steady support. You deserve to feel heard, prepared, and never alone in your birth.

Rachael provided exceptional support and care throughout my experience, and I will definitely choose her for all future births. As a first-time mother planning an at-home birth, I appreciated her presence during my 42-hour labor, during which she remained by my side the entire time, even while pregnant herself. Rachael took the time to build a meaningful connection with me throughout my pregnancy, including following up with visits to check on us after the birth. As my due date approached, she ensured consistent communication and support. Rachael is one of the most compassionate, attentive, and knowledgeable professionals I have ever known. When my baby needed assistance repositioning herself, she tried every possible method she knew. She also took the time to explain medical information, options, and potential outcomes to me, which was invaluable. I genuinely believe that without Rachael’s presence, I would have become overwhelmed. Her calm demeanor and unwavering support made all the difference, and I am very grateful for her. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring and experienced birth professional

Leenoshka was absolutely amazing as my doula! She came to my house and help me understand in a detailed manor the steps and the things that go into labor, and breastfeeding. When I went into labor and called her at 4am she answered and kept in touch until it was really go time and she came over. She helped the whole time, being in labor was not easy but all the tools she brought and her knowledge helped out so much. I was able to be in labor for only 40 hours, and I kept progressing and was able to do it naturally. Definitely do not know what I would have done without her. She also helped me with latching baby girl on which I absolutely appreciate!

Hi! I'm Gabriella, and I’m passionate about supporting women and families through their fertility, pregnancy, labor, and motherhood journeys. My path to becoming a doula began in 2014 after my own empowering birth experience with my first child. Inspired, I became a certified childbirth educator through the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth and discovered my deep passion for women’s health and well-being. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to support families in various ways—whether teaching childbirth education, offering lactation consulting, or even serving as a virtual doula in moments of need. My own birth experiences have shaped my practice. From a beautiful birth center delivery to navigating an unexpected emergency C-section, and finally achieving my VBAC home birth, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my work. These experiences have fueled my commitment to empowering families with knowledge, confidence, and holistic care. At the end of 2023, I made the decision to leave my corporate career to pursue my dream full-time. I am currently trained through DONA International, a globally respected organization, and offer compassionate, intuitive support focused on mental, physical, and nutritional health. My approach is holistic and tailored to each family’s unique needs, ensuring that partners feel confident and supported throughout the journey. I am so excited to walk alongside you and help you achieve the birth experience you desire. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or your fourth, I look forward to being part of your story!

The best thing I can say about Gabriella is she made me feel safe and supported throughout my pregnancy and labor and delivery. She carries a peace and calm that helped me look back on my birth experience as a peaceful and safe one. It was also such a comfort having her to be in contact with throughout the hours of early labor because I had no idea if I was truly in labor or not. Also importantly, she knows her stuff! She came along side me in support of my natural birth. I highly recommend getting Gabriella as your birth doula 💕😊 She was a blessing, and were honored that she will forever be apart of our birth experience!

Hi mama, I’m Sam. I’m a pregnancy, labor, and postpartum doula—and a former labor & delivery nurse—so I’ve supported women through both the clinical and deeply personal sides of birth. I know how overwhelming this season can feel. The questions, the unknowns, the “am I doing this right?” thoughts that come up when you’re trying to make the best decisions for you and your baby. My role is to help you feel informed, grounded, and supported every step of the way—whether that means advocating for your preferences, helping you navigate the unexpected, or simply being a calm, steady presence when you need it most. This is your birth, your postpartum, your experience—and you deserve to feel confident and cared for through all of it. I’m here for you 🤍

If you welcome me into your birth space I hold this responsibility close to my heart. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in trusting your body, knowing your rights, and protecting the sacredness of your birth! I can't wait to meet you!! The women + people I work with are looking for a doula who is… Collaborative, heart-centered, and authentic - While being evidence-based, flexible, and rooted in supporting intuitive, body-led birth I consider myself a birth nerd, and mental health advocate. I also have deep trust in the human body's ability to birth.

Michelle was an incredible source of strength during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. My labor didn’t go the way the birth plan we created and at times I felt overwhelmed and unheard by the doctors Michelle made sure I never felt invisible. She truly listened to me advocated for me, and helped me feel seen and understood when I needed it most. Even when things became difficult and unpredictable, she kept me grounded with her calm presence and reassurance. Having my doulas by my side made all the difference they supported me with so much compassion and care that it felt like having family in the room. I’m so grateful I got to work with them and I would want them by my side for every birth because of the love, strength, and comfort they brought to my experience. ?? Truly even after my emergency C-section having doulas was one of the best choices I've made.

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!

Jenny was an absolutely amazing doula! She was supportive and available to answer questions during pregnancy and early labor, and ended up being an invaluable help to my family when I had an unexpected complication after birth. I am so thankful to have found her and chose to have her with me during the most important day of my life. We also took her out of hospital birth boot camp class and it was so fun and informative! It especially gave my husband have an idea of what to expect. NOTHING will fully prepare you for the unique experience that is childbirth, but Jenny sure did help.
