About Marsha

Hi, I’m Marsha, founder of Blissful Sleep Doulas. I began supporting families as a postpartum doula in 2018, and what started as one doula caring for one family at a time has grown into a trusted team of experienced, dedicated doulas supporting new and growing families throughout Greater Boston and beyond. Blissful Sleep Doulas offers birth and postpartum doula support, breastfeeding support, newborn and infant sleep support, and prenatal education. We also offer digital guides covering pregnancy, newborn care, postpartum recovery, feeding, sleep, and more, because we believe parents deserve reliable support and practical answers throughout the entire journey, not just after baby arrives. Every doula on our team is carefully vetted and brings professional training, hands-on experience, and a genuine passion for supporting families. Our approach is warm, judgment-free, and personalized to your family, your baby, and the kind of support you actually need. We believe the postpartum season deserves just as much care and preparation as birth itself. You shouldn’t be expected to figure everything out on your own or feel like you have to do it all without help. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating those first weeks at home, looking for overnight support so everyone can get some much-needed rest, or trying to understand your baby’s changing sleep needs, our team is here to help you feel supported, rested, and confident along the way. Rested Parents. Thriving Babies.

I cannot recommend Blissful Sleep enough! We have used them twice now, and their timeliness and reliability really stood out compared to other services we’ve tried. The doulas are natural at soothing and caring for babies, and they were incredibly helpful with establishing routines. Beyond just childcare, they did dishes, washed bottles and pump parts, and helped with other chores, which gave us more time for sleep. We appreciated how flexible they were. They always adjusted to whatever we needed that specific morning—some days that meant letting the baby sleep as long as possible, and other days they had her changed and fed so she was ready for our morning rush to school/ work. If our baby didn't need anything in the morning they would brew coffee and read to the older kiddos. They go above and beyond to support the whole family.

Blissful Sleep Doulas was an incredible experience for our family. I originally thought I didn’t need a night nurse, and then a few weeks in I was running on 20 minutes of sleep and actually hallucinating. A friend recommended I reach out to Marsha, and she worked miracles to get me the help I needed, even though most people book months in advance. Every doula who stayed with our newborn was caring, knowledgeable, and so gentle. As a first-time mom, I was very nervous about leaving my baby with anyone, but they made me feel completely safe and supported. I truly can’t recommend Blissful Sleep enough. They were a lifesaver for us.

We are really grateful to have Marsha over for our baby girl overnight. It is overwhelming to have a premie as a FTM, but Marsha took good care of my baby girl overnight, allowing us to have some good sleep without worrying our baby girl. She is very reliable and careful, and she also provided us some good tips to help us ensure adequate bottle feed amount when having a sleepy premie.

Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of having overnight support?

Overnight Newborn Care through Blissful Sleep Doulas gives your whole family the gift of a truly blissful night of sleep. Our care plan is tailored to your family and adjusted nightly based on how things are going. In those early weeks from birth to 6 weeks, we support a baby-guided schedule for feeding and sleeping, following your newborn's cues and making sure every feed, burp, and settle is done thoroughly and safely. After 6 weeks, your Blissful Sleep Doulas provider will help you establish a gentle day and nighttime routine that gradually encourages your little one to stretch their sleep periods until they are sleeping through the night. One of the most common challenges exhausted parents face is drifting off during an overnight feed before burping or settling is complete. This often means baby wakes again within a short window, needing more settling and sometimes another feed entirely. In the middle of the night, a tired parent may not catch this cycle. Your Blissful Sleep Doulas provider stays alert and on top of every detail so you don't have to. Beyond feeding and settling, your overnight doula handles the tasks that pile up fast: baby laundry, cleaning and sterilizing bottles and pump equipment, tidying the nursery, and restocking the changing station. If you are pumping overnight, we measure, bag, and store your breast milk so you can get back to sleep as quickly as possible. We will also bring you water, tea, or a snack while you breastfeed or pump, because taking care of you is part of taking care of your baby. Have a special request? Just let your provider know. We are here to make your nights feel supported, calm, and genuinely restful.

What types of support do you provide?

At Blissful Sleep Doulas, our goal is to ease the transition into parenthood for first-time parents and for growing families welcoming a new addition. We proudly support all family structures, identities, and backgrounds, because every family deserves expert postpartum care. Our support is never one-size-fits-all. Every care plan is built around your family's unique needs and adjusts as those needs change. Whether you are a first-time parent, expecting multiples, or adding a new baby to an already busy household, Blissful Sleep Doulas is here to help you feel confident, rested, and cared for. Here is what that support looks like in practice: Feeding support for breast and formula feeding, including guidance, hands-on assistance, and connections to lactation consultants and other trusted local resources when needed. Newborn care including diaper changes, burping, swaddling, umbilical cord care, and feeding schedules, along with sleep shaping and gentle sleep coaching as your baby grows. Baby soothing and bonding support, helping your whole family feel comfortable and connected with your new little one. Education and guidance on newborn development, care, and what to expect in the weeks ahead. Dedicated care for your baby so you can sleep, shower, eat a real meal, or simply exhale. Postpartum recovery support for mom, including comfort measures, help after a cesarean delivery, and keeping you hydrated and nourished. Light household support including baby dishes, nursery upkeep, and baby laundry, so the little things don't pile up.

Will I have the same caregiver every night?

We will do our best to match you with one provider for the entire length of your care. Depending on your requested schedule and the availability of providers, you may have more than one. If that is the case, we will work with your family to have a set schedule every week so you can count on who will be arriving each night.

How do you handle feedings/care needs?

Every care plan at Blissful Sleep Doulas is built around your family's preferences and your baby's needs. When your overnight doula is with you, we recommend that baby sleep in their own space so your doula can provide dedicated, attentive care through the night while you get truly restorative sleep. When your baby wakes for a feed, your doula makes sure every good feeding practice is in place, whether you are breastfeeding or bottle feeding. We keep baby awake and engaged for a full, satisfying feed, then handle the burping, diaper change, and settling so you don't have to. If you are breastfeeding, your doula can bring baby to you in your room, or you can come nurse in the nursery, whichever feels right for your family. If you prefer to sleep through overnight feeds, your doula can bottle feed pumped breastmilk or formula while you rest. Breastfeeding moms who are bottle feeding overnight will still need to pump to protect their supply, and your doula will wake you to pump, then take care of all pumping parts, labeling, and storing your milk so you can get right back to sleep.

What are your hours?

For Overnight Support: your provider can come to your home anywhere between 8PM-7AM. A typical night is a minimum of 8 hours, a maximum of 10 hours. Depending on availability, we can provide care 7 nights a week (will be split between 2 caregivers) For Daytime Support: Daytime support is 4 hours/day, minimum of 2 days a week. You can choose mornings 9:00-1:00, or afternoons 2:00-6:00

How far in advance should I book services?

Our services tend to book quickly. We recommend booking at least 6 months prior to due date, if not sooner. That's not to say we don't have last minute availabilities. If you feel we would be a good fit for your family and are interested in support, I highly encourage you to reach out.
