A Cape Cod native raised in Chatham, I discovered my passions for wellness, healthcare, and breastfeeding through a series of life adventures. I earned my undergraduate degree in dance and theater from the University of New Hampshire. In 2016, I traveled to Maui to obtain my 200-hour yoga teacher training certification, a milestone that marked the beginning of my journey rather than the end. Returning home, I got married and welcomed my first baby in 2020, which introduced me to the world of breastfeeding. Motivated to better support my family, I enrolled at Cape Cod Community College in their Nursing Program, graduating just in time for the birth of my second child. I then joined Bass River Pediatrics, where I discovered my passion for pediatric nursing and community service. As I sought to further expand my career, I noticed a growing need for breastfeeding education within our community. This realization led me to complete a 95-hour Lactation Counselor training course and a 52-hour Breastfeeding Specialist training course in May 2024. My goal is to make every mother’s breastfeeding journey successful, practical, and patient-centered. Recognizing that each feeding journey is unique, I am committed to helping families overcome any obstacles they encounter.

I am a queer full spectrum doula and childbirth educator. My mission is to serve and affirm all individuals and family constellations surrounding their pelvic & perinatal health by educating, supporting, and witnessing their journey.

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.

Hi I’m Cassie! Homeschooling mother of seven, here to support you with knowledge and compassion, and give you back the control in your birth!

Sarah is a registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor specializing in helping moms at all stages of their journey including pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood ditch diets and learn to eat to feel their best. She helps moms free up brain space around eating so they can focus on all the rest that life has to offer while enjoying foods they love and feeling great about what they eat. She also helps moms learn to feed their families with ease and take the stress out of mealtime.

I first trained as a doula in 2009, after the birth of my (much) younger brother. I was inspired by my mother’s experience and wanted to help birthing people own their births and find their confidence as a new parent through the birthing process. I went on to study Maternal and Child Health graduating from Boston University with a Master in Public Health. I have worked in public health policy with the career aim to transform the birthing system in this country. Through both my policy work and my work as a doula - I hope to rectify that birth is not just for women and it is not for women to do alone. There is a need and obligation to provide support for birthing people so that they are not only surviving, but thriving! The word “Alma” means soul or heart across many different languages. Serving pregnant and postpartum families is messy, raw, and vulnerable- I approach this work with humility and respect. At the core of my work is trust and connection with each individual and family unit. I do this work with my whole heart and soul. Birth work is truly soul work for me!

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!

My mission is to empower and support families through their unique birth journeys by providing compassionate, knowledgeable, and personalized care. I am committed to creating safe, nurturing environments that honor each family’s values and choices, ensuring that every birth experience is positive and transformative.

I am a skilled and sought after clinical social worker. I have my masters degree in social work and have been working with children, adolescents and families for over 15 years.

I have an eclectic approach to treatment, meaning that I believe there is no one way to heal and grow. I enjoy sharing ideas and resources with clients. This can include traditional talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), working with family members, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, Reiki healing, collaborating with other professionals to support clients in their care - and so much more! Currently, I am working with parents in the perinatal phase of parenthood, as well as adults navigating transitions, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting and couples work. I identify as a cis, white, heterosexual female and use she/her pronouns.

Plain and simple: I love all things pregnancy! After working in the music industry for nearly ten years, I experienced a deep and abrupt shift in my life trajectory upon becoming pregnant. Prior to my pregnancy, I had already declared my path of Maternal & Neonatal Health in my DrPH program, but experiencing the true miracle we call life confirmed that Maternal & Neonatal Health are in fact a huge part of my purpose, even so much so that I was willing to partially cut ties with the music business to fulfill this duty. That’s why and how I’m here for you today — I truly believe I was called to do this work. I’ve always had an interest in the unknowns of pregnancy. I was born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and have lived my life with a star-shaped G-tube patch and midline incision scar that represent the intersectionality of pregnancy, what can go wrong and how we can fix it. And upon marrying my husband, a heart transplant recipient, I became even more enthralled by the specialty of disease prevention in infants. Many wonder why I took the DrPH path as opposed to a traditional MD degree, and the truth is that nothing I’ve ever done in my life was conventional. It is my belief that addressing Maternal & Neonatal Health issues from the standpoint of public health practice is not only effective, but is also fulfilling. As a public health practitioner, I address the risks and patterns of pregnancy complications as a population-wide problem. I’m not a medical doctor because I am not interested in treating these conditions: I am a public health doctor because I am committed to preventing them altogether.

Hi! I would love to be part of your newborn healing process. As a mom and nurse, I know how challenging those first few days coming home from the hospital and having to figure it all out feels like especially while sleep deprived. I hope to help make the process even slightly more easier. Ideally looking to help out 1-2 nights over the weekend.
