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!

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 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.

Merinda Wicker Popular: among the most-viewed doulas in Florida, last 60 days

Responds within an hour

Hi, I’m Merinda! I’m married to my husband of 12 years, and together we’re raising three beautiful kids. I’m an Ohio native, but Florida has been home since 2017, and Sarasota is a place we’ve grown to love deeply. Our home is currently shared with our sheepadoodle, kitten, and four hens who keep life interesting! It’s a little busy, a little chaotic, and exactly the kind of full life I love. My husband and I also have the incredible privilege of serving as pastors of a local church body in Sarasota. We’ve been in full-time ministry for the past nine years, and it is both our passion and our honor to pursue the heart of God and walk alongside others as they seek Jesus. That calling has shaped so much of who I am and how I care for people—especially in the moments when life feels tender, uncertain, or overwhelming. I’m also a life coach, which means I spend a lot of time helping people work through those “stuck” places in their lives. I ask a lot of questions, listen closely, and help people uncover the answers that are often already within them. I love helping people move from feeling overwhelmed or uncertain to feeling clear, confident, and capable. That same heart is what drew me so deeply into birth work. My own experiences with pregnancy and birth have given me a unique perspective. I’ve experienced epidurals, elective inductions without an epidural, IVF, and I also had the incredible privilege of being a gestational carrier for my sister-in-law! Experiencing birth in such different ways has given me a deep compassion for the fact that there is no single “right” way for a birth story to unfold. Every mother, every baby, and every family brings a different story into the room. My approach to doula care is balanced, steady, compassionate, and calm. I’m a huge proponent of informed decision-making, and I believe you deserve to understand your options and feel confident in the choices you make for yourself and your baby. Whether your birth unfolds exactly as you imagined or takes an unexpected turn, I want you to feel supported, respected, and cared for every step of the way. I’m especially passionate about helping both mothers and fathers understand the incredible design of a woman’s body and the power it holds with physiological birth. I want families to walk into birth with knowledge instead of fear, confidence instead of uncertainty, and a deep trust in the process while remaining open to whatever their individual journey may bring. And honestly, one of the biggest reasons I care so deeply about supporting mothers is because other women have done the same for me. There have been women who stepped into my life and held me through some of my most vulnerable moments. I know firsthand the difference that kind of support can make. The power of being seen, encouraged, listened to, and simply not having to carry something alone has driven me to do the same for other women. So if you’re here wondering whether you’re “the kind of mom” who needs a doula, wondering if your questions are too many, or wondering if something is TMI—I want you to know you’re in the right place. There is no TMI here. There are never too many questions. You don’t have to have it all figured out on your own! I’m here for you—to listen, to educate, to encourage, and to support you in the same way other women have carried me. Whatever your birth journey looks like, we’re in it together.

Merinda was exactly what I needed. She was quick on her feet, comforting, calm, had all the tools, zero judgement. Just an incredible doula and I am so grateful that she got to attend my second child’s birth. I’d love to have her attend future births as well. She was exactly what I needed to have a better birth experience.

Raymah McBriar Popular: among the most-viewed doulas in Florida, last 60 days

NPI verified Responds within an hour Accepts insurance

Hi! I’m Raymah, a certified birth and postpartum doula supporting families since 2017. I’ve had the privilege of supporting more than 100 families through birth and postpartum, with thousands of hours of hands on experience caring for newborns and helping parents navigate those first weeks at home. I believe doula support should leave you feeling more confident, not more dependent. During pregnancy and birth, I help families understand their options, prepare for what to expect, and feel informed and supported throughout labor and delivery. After baby arrives, I help bridge the gap between bringing a newborn home and actually feeling comfortable caring for one. We can work through feeding, diapering, bathing, soothing, newborn cues, sleep rhythms and routines, postpartum recovery, and all of the little questions that come up once you’re home with your baby. Postpartum support can include daytime care, overnight support for rest and recovery, newborn and parent education, or a combination tailored to your family’s needs. My approach is warm, practical, judgment free, and grounded in experience. There is no one right way to birth or parent. My job is to meet your family where you are, give you reliable support and education, and help you find the rhythm that works for your home.

Raymah has helped me delivered my two babies in the last two years and I could not recommend her enough! She completely changed my experiences for the better and because of her wisdom I was able to avoid induction! She also has such a calming presence and is wonderful with incorporating anyone you want/ need into the birth by guiding them as well. I would not deliver without her.
