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.

Chelsea was my doula as a first time mom and made me feel seen and heard. She helped me to figure out what I want in my birth experience and how I can be best supported. I would totally recommend her and choose her again for my next pregnancy and birth.

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.

Elisabeth was an incredibly important source of support for me during my pregnancy and in the months that followed. With her empathetic approach, she always had a professional answer to every question, which always put my mind at ease. What I really appreciate about her is that she acts in a very thoughtful manner and is open to different opinions, whilst always striving to find the best solution for the family. During her postnatal visits, she was incredibly loving with my baby. At the same time, she looks after the mother with great dedication. Elisabeth is a blessing for every expectant and new mother!

Amazing Support – A True Blessing! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joanna Guzman. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. She provided not only expert knowledge and guidance but also incredible emotional support throughout my pregnancy, labor journey. During my delivery, Joanna was my rock—calm, reassuring, and always one step ahead, anticipating my needs before I even voiced them. She helped me feel empowered, confident, and safe throughout the entire process. Her warmth, patience, and dedication made all the difference, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her.

Hello, my name is Rickeya, and I am a dedicated maternal and newborn care professional with a passion for supporting families during one of the most meaningful transitions of their lives. My goal is to provide exceptional clinical care, emotional support, and guidance as parents navigate the beautiful and sometimes overwhelming journey of parenthood. I am a Labor and Delivery Surgical Technologist with over two years of hands-on experience in labor and delivery, where I have served as a patient advocate and assisted in both vaginal deliveries and cesarean sections. My background also includes six years as a Certified Nursing Assistant, working across multiple hospital specialties, which has strengthened my clinical skills, adaptability, and compassionate approach to patient care. As a mother of two, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work. I take great pride in supporting new parents, ensuring their babies are safe, comforted, and well cared for. My newborn care experience includes feeding support, sleep relief, overnight care, and night nanny services. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am deeply committed to providing calm, reliable, and knowledgeable care that allows families to feel confident, supported, and at ease during this special time.

Absolutely — here’s a strong, heartfelt 5-star style review that sounds genuine and standout: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rickeya was truly a blessing to our family during the newborn stage. From the very first night, her calm presence, professionalism, and deep knowledge of newborn care immediately put us at ease. She not only cared for our baby with incredible attentiveness and gentleness, but she also supported us as new parents with reassurance, education, and emotional encouragement when we needed it most. Her background in labor and delivery really shows — she is confident, organized, and always prioritizes safety. Our baby’s feeding, sleep, and overall comfort improved so much under her care, and being able to rest at night knowing our little one was in such capable hands was priceless. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and created a peaceful nighttime routine that helped our whole household. Beyond her skills, Rickeya is simply a kind and compassionate person who truly loves what she does. Any family would be lucky to have her support during such an important time. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

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
