Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in North Port, FL

Motherhood it’s simply fascinating. All of my life I’ve been intrigued by it, and after having my first five children I decided to begin this journey as a Doula - and we have since added two more babies to our bunch. It is an honor and privilege to be the laboring mama‘s support as she transitions into the season of motherhood. Through my own experience, as well as experience of the women in my life, I have learned how very different many women can react to labor. There are lots of strategies and techniques to get through each contraction, and I just love empowering women to allow their bodies to do just that. I would love the opportunity to serve you and your growing family as you bring your sweet babe into the world 🤍

I am a certified postpartum and infant care doula, childbirth educator, certified lactation counselor and a placenta encapsulation specialist. I am passionate about nurturing parents through the tender weeks after birth. I am the mother of 3 beautiful children and through that experience my passion for doula work was ignited. I love to educate parents-to-be on childbirth and all things newborn care before baby arrives and then to be in the home with those families once baby is born. I offer support through listening, education, light housekeeping, sibling care, breastfeeding support and more.

My name is Allison and I am your Unconquered Mama. I am a wife and mother to two beautiful little girls. It was during my first pregnancy that I started to have a desire to get into birth work. I noticed right away that pregnant and postpartum Mamas needed much more support than they were getting. Immediately after my traumatic pregnancy and postpartum period with my youngest daughter I knew it was time for me to step into a new role; so I became a Doula and Breastfeeding Educator so that no other Mama would have to go through the struggles that I went through. I want to help every Mama feel the way I did when I broke through my struggles and emerged UNCONQUERED!
