I've been working with Taja for several months. I met her when my baby was a few months old and I was having trouble figuring out how to get her to nap. Taja was very helpful in teaching me how to soothe my baby and help her nap. She is very dependable and trustworthy, has great perception in understanding what the baby needs and has good emotional intelligence. I have used her dozens of times for childcare and she is always early, helpful and very reliable.

Hello! My name is Julie (they/she), and I am a full-spectrum doula keen on prioritizing care work that centers being an advocate, joy-seeker, and companion for families and individuals desiring community support during periods of great transition. As a full-spectrum doula, I offer my services of care for a range of experiences within the perinatal lifecycle: pregnancy, birth, postpartum, abortion, loss, and beyond. And above all - I aspire to connect pregnant and birthing people with themselves and their communities so that family networks can thrive during these liminal spaces and incredible rites of passage - however they may unfold. Whatever your personal story is, I hope to uplift and embrace it, non-judgmentally supporting families and providing a tailored alchemy of emotional, educational, logistical, and advocacy support in planning and preparing for the journey you are about to embark on. All families deserve to be held with care during these transitions, and I look forward to welcoming all the emotions that come up to help you find the most powerful, informed, safe, loving experience you can imagine.

Julie was an absolute lifesaver for our family. She helped us set our baby up for sleep success and gave us such great breastfeeding advice. Julie's emotional support for mom was just what we needed, and her incredible care and attention as our baby grew and her needs changed were so reassuring. It felt like Julie became a part of our family during that time, and her presence made everything so much easier. We couldn’t have asked for a better postpartum doula and are so grateful for everything she did for us. Highly recommended!

Having NiNi as your doula is the best thing you could possibly do for yourself and I mean that! She was there every step of the way, which I know wasn't easy because my anxiety was soooo high and I must have texted her at least 100 times throughout my pregnancy haha! She ALWAYS took the time to calm my worries and reassure me about whatever I was stressing about. But she didn't just calm me she prepared me for it all. I began this pregnancy scared because it was so unexpected and I didn't feel ready to deal with everything that comes with a pregnancy. it's soooo overwhelming because there are so many things you have to be aware of. Well I learned all about everything with NiNi. She introduced me to so many things. I never took herbs before, never did yoga or meditation. and now I do it regularly. My birth experience was so amazing!! I was positive I would be getting the epidural as soon as entering the birthing center- but NiNi and I worked those curbs and did our breathing techniques and she had my husband helping with the hip squeezes....by the time we got to the hospital I only had to push for 20 minutes or so and my baby boy made his appearance!! I have no words for how proud of myself I was! I just couldn't believe it. She really helped me see that I CAN and DID do that without drugs!! I plan to refer her to anyone I know who is pregnant because this lady is a blessing. Thank you again and whoever is reading this- hire her immediately. She goes out of her way to take care of you and treats you like a Goddess and that alone was worth the money. My husband now has to step his game up haha! But all jokes aside- I didn't even know what a doula was before this pregnancy and now I will never give birth without one again- if I do it again.

I am fortunate to have been raised by a village of strong and caring women, and because I have always been in contact with babies and new mothers, I naturally developed a passion for childbirth and women's care. Seven years later, and in a different country, I became a certified doula providing emotional, physical, and informational support to mothers before, during, and after childbirth. I truly enjoy helping families navigate the birthing process and make informed decisions about their care by sharing the knowledge I have received from wise women since my early days. I am trained in various comfort measures such as massage, breathing techniques, and positioning and can provide guidance and support to your partners and other support persons. I also have over eight years of experience in postpartum support and breastfeeding guidance. I believe in empowering families and fostering a positive birth experience. For that reason, I am currently studying to become a midwife, so I can widen the care I provide to women of all ages. During my free time, I am always working on some craft, practicing yoga, caring for my plants, and learning more about the fantastic feminine body and energy. I am available to support your family in your birth journey, and I am excited to be a part of such a remarkable time in your lives.

Leticia’s support during my transition to parenthood was beyond appreciated. She was a wealth of knowledge, always offering a listening ear and able to guide me to resources and information to make my own decisions. She was my peace and calmness when I was overwhelmed. She helped take care of my baby so I wouldn’t forget to take care of myself! I trusted her to treat him as her own. She was gentle, caring and nurturing toward my son. I felt supported and confident as a new mom because I had Leticia in my corner, willing to help in any way needed. I was extremely fortunate to have her assistance and would highly recommend her to other families.
