Hello! My name is Nancy and I am a birth and postpartum doula in the greater Boston area!

Hi all. I'm Courtney, a certified Full Spectrum Doula in the Southern NH, Northern MA area. I started Leitay Birth and Life services with the goal to provide knowledge, care, and a nonjudgemental set of ears to every person and/or couple I support. I like to empower families by allowing them the space to ask any questions, talk through any uncertainties, and express all of their joys, hopes and fears. I know firsthand how wonderful the right care team can be, and also know how easy it is for individuals to feel overwhelmed or uncertain while navigating within the healthcare world. Birth and postpartum are some of the most delicate times we experience as human beings. While beautiful, awe inspiring and life changing, they are also times of great vulnerability. Human connection is one of the greatest gifts and I hope my connection with the families I support will provide some level of peace, confidence and strength as we walk through our journey together!

Hi! My name is Eleanor and I'm a birth doula excited to support you. I'm passionate about patient advocacy, making sure your needs are heard, and providing evidence-based information and support throughout pregnancy and labor.

Being a nanny, especially one who works with infants, is a privilege that I do not take lightly and I appreciate the chance to support families during this big change. Across my almost 10-year career, I have worked full-time in a daycare center and six private homes, primarily with newborns and toddlers. I find joy in creating spaces that engage my little ones, planning activities that incorporate all areas of children's development, and seeing the outcomes of those efforts. Outside of the traditional nanny role, I received my birth and post-partum certifications from DONA International in 2021. Since then, I have attended two births and continue to volunteer assisting families in need of support. In 2023 I completed my Newborn Care Specialist training via Newborn Care Solutions to deepen my understanding of newborns, especially those born prematurely and with additional medical needs

Hi all! My name is Mia DePaolis and I am a birth doula and certified babywearing educator based out of Boston, MA. I believe that birth is an aspect of life where we should not have to brave it alone. Full of unknowns, birth has the ability to take us to our breaking point and bring us out the other side as a new human. Channeling the inner strength to process and work through the beautiful challenge of birth is the key to an unmedicated birth and this is where I come into play! I use my experience as an athlete, nutrition coach, mentor, mother, and birth worker combined together to help you find your strength and support you in the birth you deserve.

Hi, I'm Allison. I am the owner and founder of Holistic Birth & Beyond. I am a birth & postpartum doula, childbirth & lactation educator, reiki practitioner and birth story mentor. For me, my passion lies with empowering and supporting families on their pregnancy, birth and postpartum journeys. The entire perinatal timeframe is so much more than baby registries, maternity photos and nursery painting. This is a time of transition. This chapter will transform you into a new parent and a new version of yourself. We aren't meant to navigate this alone; that's where our team comes in. Providing warmth and unconditional love for parents, newborns and the family as a whole is an honor. Being part of such a vulnerable, intimate experience is extraordinary and something I truly cherish. I live in Goffstown, NH with my family. When I'm not at a birth or meeting with clients & colleagues, you can find me spending time with my family, friends and houseplants.
