As a seasoned doula, birth advocate, and mother of nine children — six boys and a set of triplet girls — I bring a rare blend of clinical knowledge, lived experience, and intuitive understanding to every family I serve. My journey through nine pregnancies, each with its own lessons and challenges, has shaped the way I support mothers today. I know the emotional terrain of pregnancy, the physical demands of labor, and the sacred transformation that happens when a new life enters the world. My work is rooted in the belief that every mother deserves informed, compassionate, and culturally grounded care. Over the years, I have supported families across a wide range of birth experiences, always centering their voices, their choices, and their dignity. My approach blends evidence‑based education with the kind of wisdom that only comes from walking the path myself many times over. A core part of my philosophy is the importance of consistent, proactive prenatal care. I have seen firsthand how early support, education, and monitoring can reduce complications and lower the likelihood of medical inductions — especially those involving Pitocin. While Pitocin is a valuable medical tool when truly necessary, I help families understand how nurturing the body throughout pregnancy can support natural hormonal progression and increase the chances of spontaneous labor. My goal is to empower mothers with knowledge, confidence, and the tools they need to advocate for themselves long before labor begins. Through Royal Empress Doula Services, I serve families with a commitment to excellence, cultural sensitivity, and unwavering support. Whether I am guiding a first‑time mother, supporting a family through a high‑risk pregnancy, or helping a parent heal from a previous birth experience, I show up with the same steady presence that carried me through my own births. My mission is simple: to help families feel seen, supported, and strengthened — from the first prenatal visit to the first moments of life and beyond.

Hi! My name is Joricely, I am a certified Birth & Postparum Doula. Having birthed two children of my own in & out of the hospital system, I quickly discovered the challenges between expecting families and healthcare providers. My goal is to provide evidence based education so that the families I support feel confident in making informed decisions for themselves and their baby. I believe that birth is a sacred experience and it should be treated as such !

Being a 3rd time mom and not previously using any support other than my obgyn and others in the medical field for my pregnancies i thought i had it all down packed as far as my plan through out pregnancy & labor. Until i ran into Jori with Madre Doula and she helped me understand that there’s so much more options out there than what your doctors offer you. That you’re not obligated to schedule an induction or a C-section at 40 weeks. That our bodies know exactly what it is doing. She helped me become better informed about all my options. She helped me come up with my entire birth plan According to what made ME feel comfortable despite what the doctors recommended or wanted to force upon me. She showed up during the active labor part of labor to make sure my birth plan was being stuck to and she made sure that i was feeling comfortable, and being supported. We forget how much pain & in a daze you can be and your mind can be in when it’s all happening. This is why you honestly need someone To be able to be there to advocate for you and your choices. I loved having her as my peace of mind. With her as my doula It didn’t end at labor, She also made sure to check up on me post partum and see how everything was going. I still had so many new questions that came up for me although having experience child birth before and she was able to provide me with support & comfort. Again I’d recommend her over and over again. For experienced moms and first time moms!

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.

Hey Parents ~ Labor, Delivery & Postpartum is such a crazy time of your life; it's multiple things happening all at once & you feel like at times you might be spiraling out of control. What should be a time of intense joy can sometimes lead to feeling out of control. As a birth & labor doula, I know that having extra support both emotional & physically can bring peace of mind. Also knowing that your doula comes with a plethora of resources and extra support services is invaluable. Let me discuss with you how a labor & postpartum doula can benefit you so that you can enjoy this season of life with a new little one.

We had an amazing experience with The Doula Fource! I truly can’t say enough good things about our birth doula, Chvana. From the very beginning, she was reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly kind. She made us feel supported and confident throughout the entire process. When my birth plan unexpectedly changed and I had to be induced, Chvana came to the hospital as soon as I called. Her calm presence, encouragement, and unwavering support became the backbone of my labor experience. Thanks to her guidance and reassurance, I was able to achieve my dream of having an unmedicated birth despite the unexpected induction. She advocated for us, helped me stay focused through every stage of labor, and gave both my partner and me the confidence we needed during such an important moment. We are so grateful to Chvana and The Doula Fource for helping make the birth of our babygirl such a positive and empowering experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Doula Fource to any expecting family looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated doulas.

My wife and I were so grateful we came across Candice, she was absolutely amazing! I was away on work when my wife went into labor at our home, Candice immediately came over to our house to be with and help get my wife get into the right headspace. Unfortunately, our midwife was out of town, and by the time the backup midwife arrived, my wife had already delivered our beautiful girl! Candice was right there, every step of the way! Without a doubt, Candice helped make our girls entry into this world such a calm, peaceful and loving experience. I can't say enough good things about our experience. What an amazing person and soul, we highly recommend Candice.

Hello there! I'm genuinely excited to share a bit about myself and why I'm so passionate about being a doula. My journey in doula work is rooted in a deep commitment to providing warm, culturally competent support. I have a special focus on being there for marginalized communities. Drawing from my own experiences and education, I've found a unique wellspring of empathy and understanding that I bring to every interaction. In addition to my commitment to inclusive and compassionate care, I am a proud Christian. My faith plays a significant role in my life, and I am thrilled to offer spiritual support to anyone who desires it during their childbirth journey. Whether it involves prayer, scripture, or simply creating a peaceful and comforting atmosphere, I am here to tailor my doula practice to align with your spiritual preferences. I'm dedicated to staying in the know, constantly educating myself on the specific needs of the communities I'm here to serve. It's not just about what I know now; it's about the continuous learning journey. Staying informed about the latest in doula care is my way of making sure I'm always offering the best support possible. I'm all about openness and zero judgment. That's my promise to you – a safe and welcoming space where your unique story is not just heard but celebrated. I truly believe that my one-of-a-kind background, perspective, and faith can make a meaningful, positive impact on the incredible individuals and communities I have the privilege of supporting during the transformative journey of childbirth. Can't wait to be a part of your journey!
