About me

Nurturing the Whole Family I meet you exactly where you are, offering guidance, reassurance, resources, and space to rest, heal, and adjust while caring for your newborn. I support not just the baby, but you and your household as a whole—without judgment. With ongoing, compassionate support, families feel grounded, capable, informed, and truly cared for. My role is to provide steady, thoughtful guidance as your family settles into your new rhythm, helping you navigate the joys and challenges of early parenthood with confidence and calm. Great News for Parents! We are proud to offer postpartum care that can be reimbursed by insurance. For families with Blue Cross Blue Shield, you can receive up to 15 hours of postpartum care, valued at $1,500, reimbursed at the end of your journey. We also bill Carrot Insurance and Maven Insurance, and we are in the process of joining the United Healthcare network. To use Blue Cross or United benefits, you must work with a board-certified perinatal doula in Rhode Island—which I am! This means you can focus on your postpartum recovery while we handle the paperwork and ensure your care is covered.

Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience with Marianna, our postpartum doula night nurse. She was easy to communicate with, flexible, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our baby in her care. She gave great, practical advice for newborn care and often did things for us before we even thought to ask, which made a huge difference. The meals she prepared were incredible and such a help during those exhausting early days. Her positive, confident energy made us feel truly supported, and we consistently woke up feeling rested. We would highly recommend her. - James and Dana Please visit google maps to read 25 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️reviews and learn more about what our families say
