Motherhood it’s simply fascinating. All of my life I’ve been intrigued by it, and after having my first five children I decided to begin this journey as a Doula - and we have since added two more babies to our bunch. It is an honor and privilege to be the laboring mama‘s support as she transitions into the season of motherhood. Through my own experience, as well as experience of the women in my life, I have learned how very different many women can react to labor. There are lots of strategies and techniques to get through each contraction, and I just love empowering women to allow their bodies to do just that. I would love the opportunity to serve you and your growing family as you bring your sweet babe into the world 🤍

I offer support through listening, education, light housekeeping, sibling care, breastfeeding support and more.

My name is Allison and I am your Unconquered Mama. I am a wife and mother to two beautiful little girls. It was during my first pregnancy that I started to have a desire to get into birth work. I noticed right away that pregnant and postpartum Mamas needed much more support than they were getting. Immediately after my traumatic pregnancy and postpartum period with my youngest daughter I knew it was time for me to step into a new role; so I became a Doula and Breastfeeding Educator so that no other Mama would have to go through the struggles that I went through. I want to help every Mama feel the way I did when I broke through my struggles and emerged UNCONQUERED!

Hey there! My name is Brittany aka Bejay. I am a married mother of five children ranging from 16 years old to 18 months old. I am located in Tampa, Florida serving in the Hillsborough county and surrounding areas. I am currently a Birth & Postpartum & infant care doula! When I was 18 years old I attending nursing school. Labor and delivery was my FAVORITE unit but I knew that, that was not the way I wanted to help birthing people. As my own family grew my desire to have an out of hospital birth increased. With my fourth and fifth pregnancies I was able to fulfil those desires with my sister acting as my doula. With the level of care I received I knew that being a birth worker was where I could help! My heart is to provide help to all families alike. Walking, standing, or squatting (LOL) along side them on their beautiful journey! No birth is the exact same so I strive to be not only supportive but inclusive as well! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wild and crazy family!

Hi, I’m Destiny Consuelo — a postpartum doula and newborn care provider specializing in responsive, intuitive, and deeply grounded overnight care. My approach is centered on the belief that the earliest days of life shape not only sleep, but the long-term emotional foundation of a child. With many years of hands-on newborn experience, I’ve supported families across the country in creating calm nights, confident days, and secure beginnings. I believe in co-regulation and respecting each baby’s rhythm as they learn to grow secure attachments and trust in their new environment outside of the womb. I believe in high-touch, responsive care which is part of why my style of care includes “awake” care. I provide detailed notes and “next steps” for first-time parents who may also appreciate in-depth guidance and opinions from an experienced perspective. I am Calm. Attuned. Responsive. Evidence-informed.
