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.

Hello! I'm Erin, The British Doula. I am a DONA International™ certified birth doula living in Roslindale, MA and practicing in the Greater Boston Area. To any pregnant woman reading this, I’d like to start off saying a huge congratulations! And thank you for considering me to join your support team. I'm originally from London, England, and I first became interested in birth work when I moved to the U.S. 8 years ago — I was so surprised at how different the cultural interpretations of birth are here compared to the U.K. About 4 years ago, I started reading and learning more about the different experiences of birth around the world, and I have never looked back!

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.

Hi! I'm Naomi. I am a Certified Practitioner Midwife choosing to focus on providing birth and postpartum doula support. I keep my Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) cards active at all times. I am currently in the process of becoming certified as a postpartum doula. I believe that if women/birthing persons and their babies were truly supported in the way they most need, we would have peace on Earth. I decided to become a midwife and doula because I want to make the world a better place, and I believe the way to do that is to bring compassionate support to mothers and their babies. I received my training through Maternidad La Luz (birth center on the US/Mexico border) and the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA). I have attended around 150 births and have provided care for many newborns. I currently run Little Angel Doula and work part time as a midwife assistant for a local home birth practice. My philosophy centers around trusting the birthing body and trusting the process of transition into parenthood. I am a firm believer in the power of gentle touch and calm words, good rest, good nourishment, and laughter. I have confidence in my heart and my hands to be there for you and your child.

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.

Recent review

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!

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.

Recent review

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.
