Find a Midwife or Home Birth Midwife Near Me in Massachusetts

Hiring Doula Odessa was one of the best decisions we made. She helped me create a birth plan and shared evidence-based resources that made me feel informed and confident throughout pregnancy. As my due date approached, she was always available and supportive. When winter weather threatened her travel, she arranged a backup doula just in case, but thankfully it wasn’t needed—Odessa drove through difficult conditions to be there early that morning and stayed with us through labor and even after my C-section. She advocated for the birth experience I hoped for while also supporting my husband and me when doctors said an emergency C-section was necessary. Although my birth didn’t go as planned, I felt heard, cared for, and supported by Doula Odessa. She gave me confidence and strength during a difficult experience, and I’m so grateful to have had her by my side.

Natasha Barros is more than a doula. She has become a true family friend. This was my first pregnancy, and as a women over 35 I had many questions, concerns, and uncertainties along the way. Natasha was with me every step of the way. She provided exactly the support I needed throughout my pregnancy and was an incredible source of knowledge and guidance.   She accompanied me to my appointments and asked important questions that I would not have known to ask myself. Her expertise helped me feel informed, confident, and empowered when making decisions about my care. She always made sure everything was in order and helped ensure that no unnecessary tests or procedures were being done. Beyond her knowledge Natasha is kind, gentle, funny, caring, and has a wonderful personality. I did not have much support other than my spouse who had to work, so having Natasha by my side meant everything to me. Always there when I needed her, whether it was helping with household tasks, checking in on my wellbeing or simply having a conversation and offering encouragement. I am truly grateful to have such an amazing doula. Her support extends far beyond doctors visits. She genuinely cares about her clients and their families. And she goes above and beyond to make sure they feel supported. I honestly do not know what I would do without Natasha. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is pregnant or looking for compassion., knowledgeable support during their pregnancy journey. Ms. Barros is simply the best. If I decide to have another baby, I would absolutely choose her again to guide and support me. Thank you Natasha for everything. Your An angel!!

Jade has been an incredible advocate and support for my family. She was my son’s teacher and went above and beyond to ensure he had what he needed to thrive. Even years later, she continues to stay connected with us, which speaks to her genuine care and dedication. Although I haven’t worked with her directly in her doula role, I have every confidence that the same compassion, advocacy, and commitment she showed my family will make her an outstanding support to any parent or family she serves.

My experience with Jenn was nothing short of perfect. She was attentive, kind and understanding. From the very first phone call, I knew it was the perfect match to help me through the birth of my 4th child. She was very professional and always made our appointments a priority. Jenn is down to earth and a very good listener! My birth experience was anything but what I had planned but Jenn was always there, always so positive and encouraging, not to mention, extremely knowledgeable. Her presence was welcoming and supportive. I would recommend Jenn to anyone looking for extra support through their pregnancy and birth. Thanks Jenn!!!

I don’t know what I would have done without Perri! She was and still is there for me every step of the way. Having the support to navigate through becoming a mother made the transition much smoother. My labor would have been a whole different experience if it wasn’t for her guidance. She is the best!

Anyone who work with her can rest assure that they are in the best hands and will enjoy every moment along the way to parenthood.

When I was looking for a midwife for my second pregnancy and first home birth, I wasn’t sure what to look for. After interviewing a few midwives, Cynthia really stood out to me. From the beginning, I felt like she genuinely wanted to get to know me and understand my previous birth experience. She made me feel heard and supported right away. I especially appreciated that she offered a FaceTime meeting so I could see her beforehand, and I loved how she included my daughter in that first interaction. Having a three-year-old, it made such a difference that Cynthia offered home visits, it took away the stress of bringing a child to appointments. I knew I wanted a home birth, but I had never truly envisioned what that would look like. Cynthia was incredibly patient and helped guide me in creating the birth experience I wanted. She supported me in having the kind of pregnancy and birth that felt right for me. She is very knowledgeable and was always available to answer questions or just talk things through. One of my favorite parts was how she included my daughter in every appointment, letting her help, listen to the baby’s heartbeat, and taking the time to talk and play with her. It made the experience so special for our whole family. When it came time for my birth, I had a “go with the flow” mindset, and Cynthia fully supported me in that. I felt safe, respected, and cared for the entire time. I also truly appreciated the postpartum care. It was personal, calming, and far more attentive than the standard six-week follow-up. Cynthia made sure both baby and I were doing well with multiple visits after the birth. I had such a wonderful experience with Cynthia. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a home birth, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future.

Allie came into our lives at such a pivotal moment in time and I will forever be grateful that our paths crossed when they did. As a first time mom, I had spent hours of time reading, listening, and meditating in preparation for our twin home birth - I knew that I wanted a support person in addition to my husband, but I didn't know exactly what that looked like in practical form. I'd had another doula planning to accompany our home birth, but in the final weeks of my pregnancy, she was not able to support me after all. That's where Allie gracefully came into the picture. I was connected with Allie through my midwife's glowing recommendation of her. By the end of our first visit, I truly felt as though we had been friends for years. I am so grateful to have met her when I did, as I ended up going into labor the next day! Allie is kind, compassionate, affirming, gentle, empathetic, and has such a beautiful heart for mamas and their birth experiences. I went through active labor for several hours with my husband before we asked Allie to head our way. I will always be amazed at how much lighter my contractions felt as soon as Allie arrived. She quietly and seamlessly entered into my birthing den and as she held space for my surges while my husband could take a rest, I noticeably felt so much more relaxed and at peace. Even though labor was progressing quickly, it all felt significantly smoother with Allie's presence at my side. She kept me hydrated and nourished so that as my body did the handwork, my mind could be at rest. This was happening. This was right. This was meant to be We welcomed our Lana Rose at 6:12pm after a 12 hour labor. Our Esme Jane came just a short 10 minutes later at 6:22pm. Allie was there to hold my hand and my heart through the most empowering experience of my life. She captured the most beautiful moments on camera that I will cherish forever, and cared for me so thoroughly and attentively in my hours after the birth. Allie is, in short, like both a sister and a best friend all wrapped into one amazing soul. Her presence made every difference not only for me, but also for my husband. We will forever be grateful to her for sharing her heart with us in abundance on that special day.

We are so thankful for Kim and her crew during those early months with our daughter. Even as a second time mom it is so helpful to have an extra set of seasoned eyes on your newborn. Our daughter was dealing with some gas issues. She was able to help us figure out what worked for our daughter. We adjusted her bottle and post feeding routine to help alleviate the gas. I also feel that they help lay the ground work for independent sleep which is such a blessing! We cannot thank them enough for the care they have provided for both of our children. If baby three ever happens, they will be our first call!

Vita was an angel for us in the process of having my son. She provided us guiding and wise words that helped us from the moment we met her, and the day I gave birth, she was so present and generously gave her time and wisdom despite the lack of obligation on her end due to circumstances (unexpected birth day and type). We are so grateful to have met Vita and feel so lucky to have had her guidance, kind & patient words, and wisdom the day I gave birth to my son. We will not hesitate to contact her again for our next child!

Erin is phenomenal--we would 100% recommend her! She is very knowledgeable, calm and highly supportive. She did an excellent job answering our questions and providing resources. We greatly appreciated her presence, support and advocacy at the hospital. My wife and I were very fortunate to have her as our doula.

We had such a beautiful experience with our doula, Oluwakemi. From the very beginning, she was incredibly supportive, attentive, and genuinely caring. After the birth of our son, her presence brought so much calm and reassurance — we honestly don’t know how we would have done it without her. She went above and beyond in every way, and her kindness left such an impression on us that we ended up calling her “Aunt Kemi.” That says everything about how much she meant to our family. What truly stands out is that even after our contract ended, she continues to check in on us and ask about our boy’s wellbeing. That level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. Oluwakemi is not just a doula — she’s a wonderful human being. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family.

Katheline was an amazing doula! Her support throughout my pregnancy, from the time I did the initial consultation to my postpartum visit, was impeccable. She was always available when needed if I had any questions or concerns. She checked in often to see how I was doing. During delivery she radiated a calm supportive energy, which helped me stay focused and relaxed during my attempted Vbac. I will definitely have Katheline as my doula in the future and recommend her to expecting moms. Her support and care is definitely a blessing to have during and post pregnancy.

Yaffa and I love working as a team! Here's a recent review from a birth doula client: From the first time we met Shira, we felt more at ease about our birthing time. Upon meeting Shira it is obvious how sweet, caring, and smart she is. Shira is very knowledgeable about pregnancy and birth, and she is super humble about her approach. She is here for you to answer your questions and make you feel prepared and comfortable. She doesn't push any personal agenda, she is a calm and peaceful presence who will guide you like a warm mother would, and with confidence. Shira is open minded. She was directly by my side taking my lead during my first birth, and both of our first HypnoBabies experience. She was the expert support and extra hands I needed alongside my husband. I had mostly back labor and she helped with counter pressure, positioning, and movement for 24+ hours! She said yes to all any any requests I had. When I decided to get an epidural/induction, she helped make that choice easier. She constantly shared my birth plan with the hospital staff to ensure everyone was on board with my vision so I didn't have to. It was very reassuring having her there and I truly couldn't have done it without her. The birth ended up being absolutely beautiful, magical, and a holy experience that I would be lucky and blessed to do over and over again. Thank you Shira!!

Kristen was an incredible support during my pregnancy and birth. She brought such calm and reassuring energy and always seemed to know exactly what I needed in the moment. Her advice was amazing and truly helped me understand my options and achieve the birth experience I wanted. Her knowledge and encouragement gave me the confidence to trust my body and my choices. I am so grateful for her presence she made such a difference in my birthing experience. Kristen’s support went beyond me as she also gently guided my husband and showed him how to be actively involved in the process. Because of her, he felt confident and engaged, and together we were able to navigate birth as a united team. Her ability to support not just the birthing person but the partner as well sets her apart, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly empowering birth experience.

Emily is incredibly kind and caring! She has such a comfortable and supportive presence, it's so easy to feel safe around her.

Choosing Marcy as our doula was the best decision we made. Her warmth and dedication was unmatched. We felt empowered, informed, and supported every step of the way.

Choosing Kathryn for my labor and delivery was, hands down, the best decision we made to help us navigate my first pregnancy. She made us feel safe and supported throughout my journey. When a possible pregnancy complication arose, she was there to talk through it and offer calming words of encouragement. When my labor pains were unbearable, she was there with a full body massage, which lasted hours. And when we chose to have the placenta stored, she was the caretaker who made sure it was stored safely and appropriately. Kathryn supported us so much that we chose her experience and knowledge for all three of my births. She was by my side for all three labors, supporting, massaging, helping me to reposition, and providing endless counter pressure during contractions.  Kathryn cares deeply about you and your labor and delivery experience. She is a calm voice and a listening ear during a new experience. I am so grateful she was there, and I highly recommend her!

- Shelley V.

Angela was such a huge support for me and my partner through out my birth and after. She never made me feel judged, always reminded me I was doing a great job, and gave me the calm I needed when things felt scary and overwhelming. Having her by my side made the whole experience feel a little less scary and so much more empowering. I can’t recommend her enough!
