Hi, my name is Clarice and I’m a Certified Postpartum Doula, PCD(DONA), Lactation Counselor and Certified Postpartum Nutrition Professional, CPPNP. The 4th trimester is full of joy and excitement but can also feel overwhelming and be a challenging transition time. Focus and attention is typically on the birth, but evidence shows that support during the postpartum time is critical for the new parents. I would love to help you adjust to your new role by providing physical and emotional support. My goal is to provide nurturing care so you can heal and recover from the birth experience and at the same time build confidence in your parenting abilities.

Where do I begin…… If there’s one thing The Most High will do is cover HIS daughters I must say I couldn’t have asked for a better doula. I didn’t expect I was going to actually obtain a doula so last minute (8 months) within my pregnancy but also one that understood my birth plan. Ruth made it her business to support me in my boundaries set for medical care when possible changes had arised within the delivery. She is beyond helpful and knowledgeable in this field of care and made me feel comfortable and confident to bring in my first born son with her unconditional support. Never would I have imagined her to be able to be there for the 36 hrs of delivery but she was intentionally in ensuring my bonus daughter was tended to throughout those hours and I was cared for properly following within delivery and following his birth. Although the staff within hospital were very unbecoming with Ruth and the support of my family I couldn’t have asked for a better birth experience and it’s genuinely was because of her attentiveness to my care and the care of my son without any hesitation to tell staff what I needed when I needed it. I pray for every birth of my children in future in able to have her there to support me. Much love and respect for her purpose in this difficult field of care. I would recommend her 1000% over and over again. Ruth is a phenomenal woman and I’m so beyond thankful I was able share my birth experience with her ♥️

Hi mommas! I'm Sheila and I am a Birth Doula in Brevard County FL. I took my certification classes through DONA International earlier this year. I am very passionate about being a Doula. I have always wanted to be part of the birth work world, and I am so excited to finally be supporting moms and their families. If you are in need of Doula services, or just have some questions about what a Doula can provide, feel free to reach out! 🩷

From the very first time I spoke on the phone to arrange a meeting with Shelia Dilling, I felt instantly comfortable with her. As a first-time mom, I was nervous but determined to have an unmedicated birth, and Shelia gave me the confidence, knowledge, and calm I needed to make that happen. From her attentiveness and help with planning—providing birth plan templates and guiding my husband and I through both a Plan A and Plan B—to the moment labor began, her knowledge and reassurance gave me the strength to move forward with confidence that I could have a positive birth. When labor started, Shelia was there right away. She walked laps with me, helped relieve contractions with hip squeezes, and gently guided me through different positions to help my body progress. She came completely prepared with everything—from a labor comb and soothing music to thoughtful reminders that helped me stay grounded and focused through every wave. One of the things I appreciated most was how she advocated for me when I needed something—like getting the birth pool filled—and how she intuitively knew when to suggest trying it to help ease my transition. She was my voice when I was too tired to speak and my calm when I felt like I couldn’t go any further. She ensured I had everything I needed without even having to ask. Shelia never left my side. She comforted me when I was exhausted and even helped hold my leg during pushing. Her presence was steady, kind, and full of compassion. With my full permission, she even got the most amazing photos during my labor and with the birth of our baby that I will have to remember it forever. After our baby was born, she checked in on us for a postpartum appointment, making sure I was recovering well and reminding me that she was always available if I had questions as a new mom. I can honestly say I couldn’t have done it without her. She made me feel safe, cared for, and strong through one of the most powerful experiences of my life. I will forever be grateful that Shelia Dilling was part of our birth story.

Prior to our son being born, I was already thinking about what I would say for this. Little did I know he’d start making his way the next morning after these thoughts… Jenny is an amazing Doula. Very kind and caring and genuine. I would share with her pretty much every part that I felt was important to share… Even when I felt I was oversharing, she encouraged me and appreciated that I wanted her to be a part of my journey. At times, when I felt overwhelmed by outside voices and started to doubt myself or feel indecisive about upcoming decisions, she kept me grounded in the things that I wanted throughout my pregnancy, reminding me of the choices that I had. I never felt pressured to make a decision I wasn’t comfortable with. She is a great advocate, especially when I needed her at the hospital and was facing some complications. My husband and I took her birthing class a couple months prior as well - LOVED it. The knowledge and wisdom we gained from that class prepared us in things I hadn’t thought of, which also became beneficial when we were at the hospital. (Having a birth plan in place was sooo helpful once we were there) We were also shown a variety of labor positions and tools to use at home/during labor. I labored at home for about 10+ hours before heading to the hospital, where I found out I was already 7 to 8 cm dilated! Thank you Jenny!! I don’t think I would’ve made it that far at home without you. I will leave my post with this.. after our first meet up with her, my husband and I walked back to our car, and I asked him what he thought? He said, “Hire her. Just hire her. If we don’t, we’re going to probably regret it.” Jenny has a gift - hiring her as our doula and taking that class was the best decision we made for us.

Holly was an amazing doula and general prenatal/postnatal resource. I moved across the country to NSB 20 weeks pregnant, so Holly was my main source of support in the area. She was so kind and helped me through some early labor scares and difficulties with grace and patience. She knew the hospital system and seemed to have everything I needed during the birth process. It was my second birth and my first experience in another state was extremely stressful so this birth was very redeeming for me. I’ve kept Holly in my life because she is someone you want to keep around. I’m forever grateful she was part of my experience and if we ever have a third she will be the first person we’d call on.

I started this journey after difficulties with my own pregnancy, having miscarried in my second child at 20 weeks. I struggled with postpartum depression and breastfeeding and wanted to be by the side of other women so that they may feel kindness and support, secure, and loved if their experiences mirrored hers. I believes every birthing person deserves to be heard and to have someone who can help them advocate for themselves.

I hired Jessica as my birth doula for my third baby. I did not have a doula for my first two births, but this time I wanted another person on my side to advocate for me and help with pain management. Jessica did amazing job at making sure I was informed about all my options and gave me confidence to stand my ground when pressured from hospital staff. Jessica provided me with stretches/exercises to help facilitate labor, gave massages and applied counter-pressure during contractions, and gave me encouragement when I needed it. This was by far my best birth experience and I am so thankful to Jessica for making that happen!

About Me I’m a birth and postpartum doula who believes every family deserves to feel seen, supported, and fully in control of their birthing experience. My approach is grounded in warmth, respect, and deep listening. I honor each parent’s unique vision—whether they want an unmedicated birth, an epidural or a planned cesarean. My goal is to create a space where you feel informed, empowered, and truly cared for during one of the most transformative times of your life. How I Support My Clients I offer 2–3 prenatal visits where we get to know each other, explore your birth preferences, practice comfort measures, and help you feel confident heading into labor. Throughout your birth, I’m there with steady, calm support—physically, emotionally, and informationally—always following your lead and advocating for what matters most to you. After your baby arrives, I provide a postpartum visit to help you settle in, debrief your birth if you’d like, and make sure you feel supported as you navigate early parenthood. My care adapts to your needs; whatever you want your birth and postpartum journey to look like, I’m there to walk beside you.

If you’re looking for a doula who genuinely cares, Chelsea is the one!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this doula and the services she provides. She was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Her attention to detail and the genuine care she has for her clients truly set her apart. She took her time to answer every question, was consistently present, and supported me every step of the way. Her services were exactly as outlined in the contract—no surprises, just honesty and integrity. She is incredibly flexible with timing and rescheduling, which made the entire process feel stress-free. It’s clear that she truly cares about her clients and always follows through on everything she promises. In the birthing room, she was an exceptional advocate for me. Even when things didn’t go as planned, she adjusted quickly and seamlessly without showing any frustration. Her calm presence and ability to adapt made me feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout the experience. She also went above and beyond postpartum, following up and even taking time out of her own schedule to create thoughtful, personal trinkets for postpartum care. Those gestures meant so much and showed just how deeply invested she is in her clients’ well-being. Overall, she is an outstanding doula. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who feels like a true safe space—like another sibling, another parent—someone who naturally fits into any environment and supports you wholeheartedly. She is truly exceptional.

There is so much to say about Juana. She’s one of the most kind, loving, nurturing, generous, thoughtful and passionate human beings I’ve ever met. I originally had no intention of hiring a doula as I didn’t know what that role really entailed but after my midwife recommended it, I met Juana. She brought so much more peace, preparation and joy in planning my birth. Not only did she empower and comfort me prior to giving birth but the connection we built, helped me fortify my mind and heart that I was capable of having an unmedicated birth. She will be with you at every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend Juana enough to any first time mommy or any mommy that is looking for support and empowerment to advocate for themselves. A skill that is most critical in preparation for motherhood.
