While growing my own family, I felt deeply called to birth work and became a doula. Over time I discovered that my greatest passion lives in the fourth trimester—supporting mothers and families as they transition, heal, and find their rhythm together. As a postpartum doula, I focus on nurturing the mother, creating steadiness in the home, and helping the whole family integrate this new chapter with care, confidence, and connection. My goal is to provide grounded support so you feel seen, rested, and truly supported during this tender and transformative time.

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I’m a postpartum doula passionate about supporting families during the precious (and sometimes overwhelming) early days after birth. I have over seven years of hands-on experience caring for newborns and helping new parents feel confident and supported as they adjust to life with a baby. My goal is to bring calm, comfort, and encouragement to your home. Whether it’s newborn care, helping with feeding (breast or bottle), creating a smoother daily routine, light meal prep, or just making sure you get some much-needed rest—I’m here to help however I can. I’m also all about creating a warm, judgment-free space where you can ask questions, express how you’re feeling, and feel truly cared for during this tender season. If you’re looking for someone kind, reliable, and experienced to walk alongside you during the postpartum journey, I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family. Feel free to reach out—I’m currently available and would love to connect!

I want to start off by saying please don’t judge a book by its cover. Having Lisamaria as my doula was absolutely the best decision we made. Having Lisamaria provide support for my family before and after having my son was something I didn’t realize I needed. That no sleep zombie life really messes you up. Having Lisamaria watching my son while I rested aloud me to actually rest knowing he was in amazing hands. Her breath of knowledge and experience was beyond helpful. She taught me tips and tricks that no class or YouTube video taught me. I still remember the struggle I had trying to get my son in the sling so I could have my hands friend. For some reason I just COULD NOT get it. I watched Lisamaria as she just twisted and pulled and made such a cozy little place for my son to sleep and relax in the sling. It took me MULTIPLE times to finally get it down. I was getting pissed and overwhelm but Lisamaria was there helping me every time with all calmness and patience.

Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my newborn! She’s gentle, patient, and clearly very experienced with infants. I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby in her care, she followed all my instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout the time she was watching him. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and cares about the babies she looks after. I would highly recommend Melissa to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter for their little one!

Above all else, I believe every person deserves care that is aware and inclusive of their values, lifestyle, abilities an environment. I also fully trust that you already know what's best. As a doula, I'm here to provide the individualized support, evidence-based resources, and tools to make navigating all of this a little easier on you. My goal is to empower you to advocate for yourself in order to have the experience that you want. I'm here to meet you wherever you are in each moment. As someone with lived-experience as a biracial individual (second-generation immigrant, Mexican-American) raised in a multicultural & blended family, I'm especially passionate about providing support to those that identify as members of historically resilient communities. I understand that receiving care from someone we feel connected to can be invaluable. I offer a free consultation to provide a space to talk through your unique hopes, fears, and needs so that you feel good about moving forward with me being a part of your support crew. If it doesn't feel like the perfect match, I will do my best to refer you to other available doulas in the area.

Welcome to 3Elders! My name is Carly Riley. I came into this work through my own transition into Motherhood — a time filled with expansion, but also clear gaps in the support new families receive. Today, I provide postpartum care that nurtures healing, attunement, and connection so that Mothers can feel supported as they transition into their new role into community. I dove into various workshops and training sessions which resulted in my Postpartum Doula Certification. In my practice, I draw upon nourishing traditions that support the physiological design of a Mother through: nourishment, warmth, support, loving presence and rest. If a Mother is properly tended to in the first few weeks after giving birth, she has the opportunity to physically heal, to connect with baby, and to slowly integrate back into her community thriving as opposed to surviving. My goal is to create a nurturing space where the Mothers & family feel empowered and validated in their journey through early parenthood. Postpartum care for Mothers isn’t a luxury but a necessity so families and future generations can flourish. I look forward to connecting with you and being a part of your village during this incredible chapter of your life.

My passion for birth work and mental health comes from a deep calling to serve, uplift, and empower. Every mother deserves to feel supported, heard, and respected throughout her journey, and I am truly honored to be that steady, compassionate presence by your side. Rooted in a tradition that celebrates motherhood, I hold close the beauty of this sacred transition, while also understanding the loneliness it can sometimes bring in today’s fast-paced world. My heart’s mission is to bring light, joy, and comfort to every family I work with—so you never have to walk this path alone. With my background as both a direct care counselor and a certified doula, I take a holistic approach—blending emotional insight with practical guidance. I support families with care for the mind, body, and heart during this profound time of change. More than anything, I want you to feel seen, held, and cherished in your unique journey into parenthood.

As a mother of two and someone who has worked as a CNA, I have developed a deep sense of empathy and patience, which I believe are essential qualities for a sitter. I love being a sitter because it allows me to provide care and support to others while building meaningful connections with people. I enjoy offering comfort and assistance, whether it’s for children, elderly individuals, or those with special needs. In terms of experience, I have worked as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), where I gained hands-on experience in patient care, assisting with daily activities, and ensuring safety and comfort. This role involved working with a wide range of individuals, from young children to the elderly, which has given me a broad understanding of various care needs. In addition to my CNA experience, I am currently studying nursing, which has allowed me to further develop my medical knowledge and skills. I have also completed training in CPR and first aid, which are crucial skills for any sitter. Overall, my combination of personal experience as a mother and professional background in healthcare makes me well-equipped to provide attentive and compassionate care.
