Hi, I'm Dr. Ryan Bailey, a women's pelvic health physical therapist. For the past 12 years I have been helping women heal pelvic health concerns through all stages of life, with a special focus on women during the childbearing years. I have been working hard to fill the hole in women's health by bringing my training & personal experiences of growth & healing my hormones to conceive, a natural home birth, and healing from pelvic pain & a diastasis recti in postpartum to inspire women on their own journey. We all bring different backgrounds to our health, but there are similarities and common threads through our menstrual cycle, fertility, pregnancy, birth and postpartum that we can use to guide your healing. I believe you are the expert of your body, and I am here to help you tease out and address the issues that are causing your pelvic health problems so you can feel confident in your body!

My name is Amanda and I am a post partum/nursery registered nurse seeking to help assist families in the beginning stages when bringing home their new bundle of joy. The first week or two can be an adjustment whether you are a first time mom or bringing your baby home to their siblings. Those crucial nights can be challenging and having someone like myself there to help, can be less stressful. About me? I love trying new restaurants with my husband, hanging with friends and family, photography and attending comedy shows.

Hi! My name is Heather and I’m a birth & postpartum doula out of Bellingham, MA. I have 2 young kids and was inspired in my own pregnancies and deliveries to become a family support worker during the incredible transition of welcoming home a new baby. My number one goal is advocating and educating the families I work with from day 1 so everyone can have the childbirth experience they deserve. I have been working as a doula for over a year and have served 7+ families as a doula and newborn care specialist during that time.

I cannot say enough about Heather’s compassion and knowledge when it comes to pregnancy and postpartum care for both baby and mama. Throughout my pregnancy, Heather would check in on me to see how I was doing, and she checked in on me right away following my daughter’s birth. She provided a listening ear when I needed to share the scary bits of my birth story, and used her personal experiences to share advice and guidance. She is so dedicated to maternal health and is an amazing advocate and support person!

Hi, I’m Amanda! Mama of 2 boys, Registered Nurse, Childbirth Educator, IBCLC and Sleep Consultant! I have over 10 years experience in Maternal Child Health, including labor and delivery, postpartum support, and pediatric care. My own personal struggles of entering into motherhood brought my attention to the gaps in the current system as well as the lack of support for mamas and new families which propelled me to share my expertise out in the community. I am committed to providing evidence based information and judgement free support. If you are looking for someone to come alongside you, encourage you, and be a part of your team during this transition, I would be honored to support you!

Amanda saved my breastfeeding journey with both of my children! My first born had an awful latch, causing me so much pain. She helped guide me through options to save my breastfeeding journey and I was able to breastfeed him for 2.5 years. My second born had similar issues as my first, and with Amanda’s help again, we’ve still been able to breastfeed for 19 months. I didn’t sleep train with my first and honestly thought it was not for us, but having a child who hadn’t slept any longer than 3-4 hours in a year, I needed help and was desperate! Her sleep knowledge completely changed my view and gave me hope! She helped get us into a much better sleep routine and I’m happy to say that sleep is 100% better for my child and myself! I recommend her to everyone who needs mama support. I am so thankful for her!

Ashley's journey into the realm of motherhood was marked by challenges, particularly with postpartum anxiety following the birth of her son. The experience, not aligning with her envisioned childbirth, significantly impacted her postpartum transition. This prompted Ashley to delve into the intricacies of childbirth, recognizing a pressing need for maternal support during both the birthing process and postpartum period.Motivated by her own transformative experience, Ashley decided to pursue a homebirth with her daughter, finally obtaining the birthing and postpartum support she had sought. This pivotal moment inspired her to undergo comprehensive training as a birth and postpartum doula. Ashley's commitment to her role is evident in her diverse training background, including certifications from CAPPA, Newborn Mothers Collective, and Birth Arts International. Ashley is currently undergoing training to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and is actively accepting clients under the guidance of her mentor. As part of her commitment to supporting mothers, Ashley extends special discounts for those opting for homebirth and for repeat birth clients.

We had a great experience with Ashley! She was always available and able to help during both the prenatal and postpartum periods. Her questions were thoughtful and helped me think through our priorities, understand my anxieties, and offer great suggestions for both the birth and postpartum periods. Ashley was at my birth, which was really fast so there was not much time for anything, but she was great at helping my husband know how to be helpful during the birth and offered really good massage and lactation support. She knew my birth preferences front to back and was helpful as the go-between when necessary. She were especially good at calming me down while I was waiting to go into labor and offering tips to activate labor. She is a wealth of knowledge and a fabulous support system during such a vulnerable time.

My interests besides birthwork include architecture and design, enjoying western Massachusetts and the San Francisco Bay Area's beautiful natural landscapes, and quality time with people and animals I love. Authenticity flows through my birthwork and enhances my capacity to understand and connect with people. I provide embodied, mindful, compassionate, knowledgeable accompaniment and witness for families of all kinds, including solo birthing people and those with existing support from a partner and birth team. I am especially excited to work with LGBTQ+ and disabled clients, along with families anticipating bringing a disabled kiddo into the world. Disability can be a positively transformative experience and one I am well-equipped to support pregnant people and their partners through.

From an early age, Rophe was drawn to birth work and the beauty of the experience. Rophe is passionate about advocating for couples and giving them the education they need to make informed decisions to take charge of their births. She believes strongly in the beauty and strength of a women's body and its intended design for birth. Melissa’s earliest memory of delighting in the birth process was as a child visiting the Science Museum. She remembers watching videos, one of a mother dancing in her labor room, another surrounded by her young family, while another escaped into a birthing pool to focus inwardly. It was not until Melissa became a mother herself that she realized just how empowering the birth space can be.

Staci Rooney offered her services for my second pregnancy. My first pregnancy was very straining and I was pushing for 3+ hours. I am strong believer that Staci used her learned techniques to help me deliver my baby girl smoothly and safely. Staci provided me with education and assistance on different stretches to help prepare the birth canal. Staci was patient and understanding, but most importantly supportive. She made it clear she was there for support and not to persuade me in any certain way which made me feel comfortable. Without Staci, I don't think I would have pushed for only 15 minutes! Everything went so smooth. I would highly recommend her to any future mothers looking for a doula.

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!

I provide the emotional, physical, and educational support to help guide you and your birth team every step of the way.
