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

With a multidisciplinary approach, families can decide on their birth process and the environment where they feel safest to welcome their baby into the world. I'm here to accompany you with sensitivity and professionalism on this special journey.

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!

There are no enough words to describe how thankful that. I had found Zory and was able to have her as my Doula. When I met her, I knew immediately that she was the one and that I would be extremely comfortable with her. She takes her time to meet with you, to ensure you are heard and she does her best to make sure it happens. She pays attention to detail before and during your birth. My birth did not go exactly how I planned, it went along fast and I was supper freaked out, but as soon as she arrived, I felt an extreme sense of safety and comfort. If I were to have more children, I would want Zory by my side again. During labor and during all that pain there is one thing that stands out to me and it was all her telling me that I was doing this and I was doing amazing, etc, everything else was blurred out. You would not regret having her as your Doula and you would want her to be in your life as your friend, because that's how much she cares. Thank you Zory! I am eternally grateful for you

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!

Gabi is incredibly knowledgable in all things Doula, pregnancy, pre and postpartum, as well as being kind, empathetic and welcoming. She listens to all concerns and preferences that you might have and advises the best way to move forward. I am based in the UK and Gabi has gone out of her way to still schedule in sessions with me and my partner, around our shift pattern too. I wouldn’t have anyone else helping me navigate this next chapter in my life and I’m always grateful I found her. I would definitely recommend!

Hey New Friend I’m Justine, your new friend, your cheerleader, your support, and your added strength from your Baby Bump, Beyond Birth journey. You’ll find me filling many roles as a wife, mother of 3, early childhood enthusiast, and dedicated doula that loves photographing cherished moments throughout Central Florida. Some say a doula is a luxury, however for many it’s a necessity! I became a doula because I realized how many women/birthing persons are without support or a village to help them through what could be the most beautiful yet scariest time of their life. At Baby Bumps, Beyond Birth, we believe that every individual deserves a birth experience that honors their autonomy, dignity, and unique story. We are dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care that nurtures the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. Through education, compassion, and individualized support, my mission is to support and uplift birthing individuals and their families, fostering a safe, informed, and empowered experience from pregnancy to parenthood.

Justine's ability to listen and provide support is unmatched. She also understands that each birth and experience is different, which allows her to adjust to meet the special needs of each mom. I would recommend Justine as a Doula to any mom who needs support and advocacy on their journey to motherhood. I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future to handle my birth needs.

I'm very passionate that those in my care feel seen and heard,, and know that there is someone present focused on advocating specifically for their needs. I want to bring inclusiveness and trauma-informed care to the forefront of my practice. My approach is very client led and tailored to each person's specific needs.

Recent review

Hannah was my doula for my birth of my son Luca. She was truly wonderful through the whole process before labor helping me prepare with everything I was worried about. During labor when my whole birth plan went to waste due to having a emergency c-section and helping me feel empowered to the whole situation. Even when the doctors were rushing my whole birth she made sure to question them when I wasnt able to advocate for myself. She even waited the whole time during my c-section and made sure me and my baby were/ felt safe after. I truly couldn't have imagined being without my doulas during this whole process as it was a very traumatic experience for me and the only thing keeping me going is how empowered they kept me through the whole situation. I loved having her as my doula and would choose her over and over again to be there for me. Having a doula is one of the best choices I have ever made for myself and my family you feel supported and at peace knowing they are there for you in all aspects of pregnancy! If you're on the fence of whether or not you need a doula I can tell you that it's the best thing you can do for yourself as a first time mom!

I believe that childbirth is very intense, hard work, but is not designed to be traumatic, that children are a blessing from the Lord, and in most cases, the discomfort that comes with the WORK of childbirth can be managed well through mental, emotional, physical and spiritual conditioning to promote a smoother transition from the womb to the world.. It is my pleasure to teach and guide parents how to do just that.

"I recently had the privilege of working with an exceptional doula, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first consultation, she made me feel seen, heard, and completely supported. She took the time to understand my birth preferences, my concerns, and my family’s needs, and she never imposed an agenda—only offered compassionate guidance and evidence-based information that helped me make confident, informed choices. During the prenatal period, she checked in regularly and provided thoughtfully organized resources on everything from birth positions and comfort measures to hospital/birthing center procedures and newborn care. She led us through practical exercises, helped me build a flexible birth plan, and involved my partner every step of the way so we felt like a strong, united team. Her communication was outstanding—prompt, clear, and reassuring—and she was consistently available to answer questions, calm anxieties, and offer realistic, nonjudgmental support. When labor began, she arrived quickly and brought an immediate sense of calm to the room. She guided my breathing, provided affirmation, suggested position changes that truly made a difference, used massage and counterpressure with remarkable intuition, and transformed the environment with simple touches that made me feel safe and focused. She advocated respectfully for my preferences with birthing center staff, encouraged me when I wavered, and helped my partner feel confident and actively involved. Even when plans shifted, she adapted with grace and kept us grounded, ensuring that I felt fully in control of my choices throughout. Her postpartum care was equally outstanding. She checked in frequently, helped us process the birth experience, and offered gentle, practical support for recovery. She provided hands-on guidance with breastfeeding, recommended community resources, and normalized the emotional ups and downs of the early days. She treated our family with deep respect and cultural sensitivity, always honoring our values and boundaries. In every interaction, she was professional, knowledgeable, and deeply kind. Her presence turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one that felt empowering, supported, and even beautiful. If you’re looking for a doula who combines skill, heart, and unwavering advocacy, look no further—she is truly exceptional."

Hello! My name is Catherine. I’m a mom to four boys and I’m a Christian birth doula and birth photographer. I became passionate about the process of physiological birth after I had my first homebirth with my third son…it was the first time I truly felt empowered during the birth process and now I want every mother to be able to experience that same feeling! (no matter where she births!) I believe as women we have everything we need to give birth already inside of us but that we don’t have to do this alone! I’m here to hold your hand, remind you of how strong you are and celebrate with you when the hard part is over! I would be honored to be a part of your journey. The way I serve and support women as a doula is best described as “birth bestie” or “birth sister.” I want to truly get to know you (because the better I know you the better I can support you!) and hear all your dreams and desires for birth. I offer a listening ear and a calming presence for anything you might need to work through or discuss throughout your pregnancy journey. If any of this sounds good to you, let’s go grab coffee and chat about all the birth-y things! ☕️ https://msha.ke/jubilantbirth www.instagram.com/jubilant.birth

My husband and I were very grateful to have Catherine’s expertise, genuine care, and consistent support as we became first time parents. At the birth of our daughter there were many times that made me question my ability to continue through a slow progressing labor but Catherine’s support and calm was the fuel I needed to face another contraction. Having her as my doula was the best decision!
