Laurine was absolutely fantastic. She is extremely responsible, prompt, and very hard-working. In the short time that she helped us with our son, she helped us with her knowledge of sleep training and could not have been more loving and warm towards our newborn. She was extremely helpful in the downtime when the baby was sleeping with things that I needed help with which made my life so much easier. I would highly recommend her!

Hey y’all! My name is Adisela, I’m a mom of three boys, a Full-Spectrum Doula, an Infant Microbiome Instructor & an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor located in Orlando, FL. My passion for birth work began when I was just 5 years old, at the birth of my first sibling. Since then, I have been fascinated with all things birth, postpartum and everything in between. I am always learning something new and enrolled in some course that pertains to birth, postpartum, holistic healing and parenting. My practice is an unbiased, evidence-based and holistic hub of love, resources and education. I meet you where you need support the most, focusing on your whole being. However you birth, whatever answers and knowledge you seek, you will always be met with warm, open arms.

Adisela is the most supportive and soothing doulas you can find in the Orlando area. She truly loves what she does and you can feel her care and compassion as soon as you meet her. I met her through Central Florida Birth Network. She is knowledgeable, professional, passionate about caring for families and babies, and the most warm and loving people you can ever meet. I absolutely recommend her postpartum doula services. You will feel relaxed, uplifted, loved, and empowered. Having Adisela in your home makes all the difference. Postpartum is a time for moms to heal, to rest, and focus on caring for themselves and their baby. Adisela comes in and makes your home an oasis of calm, tends to your needs, nurturers you with homemade warm soothing soups, and helps you heal. She is a lifesaver.

I’m Zhané (Z) a part nanny, part future pediatric neurologist, and full-time child enthusiast! I’m currently in school working toward my career in pediatric neurology, but for the past five years, my heart (and hands) have been fully in the world of childcare. I’ve worked with kiddos from brand-new newborns to big, independent teens, and I absolutely love meeting them at every stage. I’m VPK certified, a trained night doula with Let Mommy Sleep, and especially passionate about caring for autistic and neurodivergent children—helping them feel understood, empowered, and celebrated. While I’m new to the area, I’m definitely not new to this work. I come with plenty of experience, a calm and playful energy, and a “how can I help?” mindset. I’m totally comfortable with pets, happy to handle a few light household tasks, and always up for a dance party, story time, or science experiment. If you’re looking for someone kind, capable, and genuinely invested in your child’s growth and joy, I’d love the opportunity to be a part of your village

I could not possibly recommend In Joy Birth any more. Our experience with them was the first experience we had working with doulas and we had both a birth doula and postpartum doulas (2 alternating). I think this review is supposed to be more focused on postpartum so I’ll focus there, however I will share that we also had a birth doula, who helped make my wife’s home birth of our son incredibly beautiful. We first started working with In Joy postpartum when our son was 11 days old. My wife was having a really hard time with the limited sleep we were experiencing so we needed some temporary help. Chrystal showed up in our home just hours after we made the call! She helped us get our first (actually) restful night of sleep that night. Over time we also started working with another doula, Andie, who was also amazingly supportive of my wife and our son. We usually did 3 nights per week and it made all of the difference in our physical and mental health. All in, we stayed with In Joy for a little over 4 months and wouldn’t have changed a thing. We’ll absolutely hire them again when/if we have our second child. They made an incredibly positive impact on our lives and we are so thankful for them.

Hi moms and dads! I am so excited to have the opportunity to serve you as you embark on the most beautiful journey in life- parenthood. My name is Carolina and I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts with Colombian roots. I have lived in Orlando since the summer of 2000 and received my BA in International Relations, before deciding that the work that sets my soul on fire is helping mamas and kiddos live mindful, meaningful lives where they trust their intuition and learn to love themselves unconditionally. My goal as a doula is to help moms realize that they have the inner strength to achieve the pregnancy, birth and postpartum periods of their dreams. With my certification as a yoga teacher, I apply much of what I learned in my training within my birth support services.

If you’re looking for someone that can help you navigate your new reality as a first time mom than this is it Carolina is priceless & worth every cent that you can spend on her as a doula/ parenting educator Her experience and intuition speaks louder than any knowledgeable doctor I’ve been too she’s helped me help my baby better than anyone could. I’ve known Carolina for 7 years & since she announced that she was offering doula services I just knew I had to come to her when I was ready to become a mom and that happened sooner than expected and it was the first thing I did when I found out and I’m so glad I did because she became my rock during my pregnancy especially being a first time mom and not knowing how to do things and what to expect she easily empowers you to believe in yourself and allow your intuition to quickly kick in from pregnancy to birth to postpartum She encourages you and helps you so much that it made me feel like doctors were useless compared to her!!! She’s calmed every doubt and as soon as you bring a problem to her she’s quick with a solution there’s soo much more but it’s something that you will have to experience yourself to truly see how great she is Seriously she’s so great you will not regret it it’s the best thing you can invest in as you join your new journey as a mom and your future to be the best mommy you can be!!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from my doula, Valentina, throughout my pregnancy and birth. From the very beginning, Valentina was a source of unwavering encouragement, knowledge, and comfort. During my pregnancy, Valentina provided invaluable guidance on everything from prenatal care to preparing for the baby's arrival. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how big or small, and she made sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way. Her warmth and empathy made me feel truly cared for, and her expertise gave me the peace of mind I needed. As my due date approached, I had a strong desire to achieve a natural birth. Valentina was instrumental in helping me make this dream a reality. She offered evidence-based advice on natural birth techniques and helped me create a birth plan that aligned with my goals. During labor, Valentina was a calming and reassuring presence, providing both emotional support and practical assistance. She used various comfort measures, such as massages, counter pressures and breathing techniques, to help me manage the intensity of labor. Thanks to Valentina's support, I was able to have the natural birth I had hoped for. Her belief in my ability to birth naturally and her unwavering support made all the difference. I felt empowered and strong throughout the entire process, and I couldn't have done it without her. Valentina is not just a doula; she is a true advocate and has also become a life long friend. Her dedication to her clients is evident in everything she does. I highly recommend Valentina to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive doula. She made and continues to make a profound impact on my pregnancy as I am expecting my second baby. I will be forever grateful for her presence in my life.

Whether you are breastfeeding, bottle-feeding or just navigating multiple challenges as your aid I will soothe the transition of care so you can get a great nights rest. We are a team and while the baby is sleeping or not requiring of my care, I will manage light household tasks such as sterilizing baby bottles, setting up prep work for the infant if needed for bottles, diapers/wipes and doing infant laundry. A little about myself is that I am a full time student who will be graduating soon, I go to church every Sunday and enjoy taking my Dog out for Walks.

We are so grateful to have found Brittany, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable, professional, and experienced childcare for their newborn!

Hello I'm Courtney (she/her)! I am a cross trained doula, certified through ProDoula. I am a mom of 6 kids ages 16-4. As a former military spouse, my kids were born in 4 different states! I moved to FL in OCT 2019. My oldest was a traumatic labor and delivery. It was with a provider that I didn't research and everything felt out of my control. It was rushed, medicated, and scary. After that I promised myself to have a better birth next time. All of my other children have been natural births, in the hospital, with a midwife. I decided to become a doula early into 2021 after finding out I was going to be an aunt. I researched and learned and realized that this is my passion. As a doula I offer many forms of support and aid. I am trained in natural pain relief positioning, comforting touch, and breathing techniques. I am an emotional support to ensure that families have a positive birthing experience. I also am a support to your birth partner, whether your birth partner is a spouse, parent, romantic partner, family member, or friend. I help to make sure your birth partner is as involved as you wish them to be. I help you to make informed decisions that work best for you and your birth experience. I believe in informing my clients, not influencing them. I advocate for you! I will help your voice and wishes be heard so you can have the birth that you want and deserve. I want to make sure things are done with your consent and understanding. Whether you choose a hospital, birthing center or home birth, whether you want a medicated or unmedicated birth, a doula is an integral part of your birth. I hope to join you in this special time in your life.
