I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from my doula, Valentina, throughout my pregnancy and birth. From the very beginning, Valentina was a source of unwavering encouragement, knowledge, and comfort. During my pregnancy, Valentina provided invaluable guidance on everything from prenatal care to preparing for the baby's arrival. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how big or small, and she made sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way. Her warmth and empathy made me feel truly cared for, and her expertise gave me the peace of mind I needed. As my due date approached, I had a strong desire to achieve a natural birth. Valentina was instrumental in helping me make this dream a reality. She offered evidence-based advice on natural birth techniques and helped me create a birth plan that aligned with my goals. During labor, Valentina was a calming and reassuring presence, providing both emotional support and practical assistance. She used various comfort measures, such as massages, counter pressures and breathing techniques, to help me manage the intensity of labor. Thanks to Valentina's support, I was able to have the natural birth I had hoped for. Her belief in my ability to birth naturally and her unwavering support made all the difference. I felt empowered and strong throughout the entire process, and I couldn't have done it without her. Valentina is not just a doula; she is a true advocate and has also become a life long friend. Her dedication to her clients is evident in everything she does. I highly recommend Valentina to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive doula. She made and continues to make a profound impact on my pregnancy as I am expecting my second baby. I will be forever grateful for her presence in my life.

Hello, my name is Amanda, I am a firm believer that birth is not a one size fits all event, and that mothers should have access to the information they need to make their birth experience their own. I believe in the ability for all births to be a positive experience for mom and baby, and as a doula I aim to be the catalyst to aid in that goal.

Soy una Puertorriqueña que busca orientar y educar a la mujer embarazada y a su acompañante en cuanto al embarazo, parto, nacimiento y posparto. Reconociendo que el embarazo y el parto son un proceso natural y fisiologico en el cual la mujer y su bebe son los protagonistas. Sin embargo, la sociedad actual en la que vivimos ha establecido un 'Sistema' que le impone a la mujer procedimientos y protocolos rutinarios quitandole la confianza en ella misma e interfiriendo con la naturaleza del proceso. Actualmente existe un problema serio de salud publica y falta de recursos educativos llevando a una mayor incidencia de inducciones y cesareas. Me dirijo a la población Hispana con el proposito de romper los mitos y tabues en nuestra cultura Latina. Orientado, guiando, y educando a la mujer y su acompañante brindando las herramientas necesarias para que pueda tomar decisiones informadas en cuanto a su proceso. Creando y buscando la humanzacion de un parto respetado y comprometiendome con la Familia a ofrecer un servicio satisfactorio y de excelencia. Mi mision, es que la mujer sea la protagonista de su proceso, que sea ella quien tome las decisiones y que posea un grato recuerdo de esa maravillosa experiencia.

Pregnancy and postpartum is hard enough as it is! Looking to help in any way that I can whether for further education, Breastfeeding assistance, or purly just needing a break, I'm definitely your gal to help make things a tad easier! Looking forward to getting to know you and your families ❤️

When I worked with Megan at the hospital, she was one of the best nurses on the unit. She is so smart and the first to notice when something does not look quite right and the first to act upon it. She has great instincts and she cares so much about all her patients. She always takes her time to talk with patients and build rapport with them. She is very knowledgeable and does whatever is right and the best for the patients in her care. All of her patients enjoy her and remember her. She would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s care team.

Hi there, I'm Jen, the doula and photographer! I offer maternity, birth and newborn sessions. I am married to my wonderful husband with whom I share seven energetic kiddos, ranging in age from 1 to 12 years! My personal birth experiences, a mix of hospital and home, are what ultimately ignited my passion for helping other women along in their journey to motherhood. It baffled me that so many women don't receive the support and education they deserve. My youngest 3 children were born at home, and I was then able to finally experience how powerfully transformative birth can be when done with absolute support and reverence to the process. It wasn't until the birth of my 7th child, I felt the Lord impress upon my heart to pursue birth work. After linking up with Sylvia Scarlett, I attended a DONA International doula training course with the amazing Rae Davies to gain a broader perspective of birth, aside from my very own, diverse experiences. All of which has helped shape me to become the woman, mother, and doula I am today. I am THRILLED to come alongside you and your family to reclaim your power as well as capture those intimate moments for you to cherish forever.

My name is Keisha Knight and I would proudly like to recommend Bianca Taylor. It has been a privilege to work with Bianca . She has been hardworking, caring, and reliable since day one. She has been a huge help to me during my journey into motherhood. She has a great understanding of the needs and abilities of my children. The best part was that she understood that even though the girls were twins they were also their own person as well as having their on personalities. Biance was always punctual, reliable, and flexible with her schedule. She was also highly organized, and her attention to detail was impeccable. She kept detailed records of the children's activities, meals, and milestones, which I greatly appreciated. The time Bianca was with my family are treasured memories and I am most grateful for her contribution to our lives.

Hi! My name is Joricely, I am a certified Birth & Postparum Doula. Having birthed two children of my own in & out of the hospital system, I quickly discovered the challenges between expecting families and healthcare providers. My goal is to provide evidence based education so that the families I support feel confident in making informed decisions for themselves and their baby. I believe that birth is a sacred experience and it should be treated as such !

Being a 3rd time mom and not previously using any support other than my obgyn and others in the medical field for my pregnancies i thought i had it all down packed as far as my plan through out pregnancy & labor. Until i ran into Jori with Madre Doula and she helped me understand that there’s so much more options out there than what your doctors offer you. That you’re not obligated to schedule an induction or a C-section at 40 weeks. That our bodies know exactly what it is doing. She helped me become better informed about all my options. She helped me come up with my entire birth plan According to what made ME feel comfortable despite what the doctors recommended or wanted to force upon me. She showed up during the active labor part of labor to make sure my birth plan was being stuck to and she made sure that i was feeling comfortable, and being supported. We forget how much pain & in a daze you can be and your mind can be in when it’s all happening. This is why you honestly need someone To be able to be there to advocate for you and your choices. I loved having her as my peace of mind. With her as my doula It didn’t end at labor, She also made sure to check up on me post partum and see how everything was going. I still had so many new questions that came up for me although having experience child birth before and she was able to provide me with support & comfort. Again I’d recommend her over and over again. For experienced moms and first time moms!

Hello! I am a birth and postpartum doula in Volusia County and servicing within a 50 mile radius. I got started in the birth community after the birth of my daughter. I had a wonderful experience, in part due to the wonderful midwives who attended me throughout my pregnancy and labor, as well as the postpartum doula who came to my home at 2 in the morning to help me with her when I was losing my sanity. These experiences made me want to give to other women, and I found my way into doula work. It has been the most rewarding work I have ever done, and I love doing it. Outside of my work, I spend time with my daughter and my partner, I enjoy reading and playing video games, and I have two cats and a leopard gecko. I have a Facebook page for my business where I regularly post at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069593215044&mibextid=ZbWKwL

I can't begin to say enough good things about Cari. From the moment we first began messaging, to our first meeting, all the way up to the amazing unmedicated birth of our second daughter. We are not strangers to an unmedicated birth, as that is what we did with our first daughter, but Cari helped make the experience with our second not only even better but much calmer and secure all around. Cari was informative in not just the potential outcomes of the birth we WANTED, but she made sure to take the time to cover what-if scenarios. What we were looking for in a Doula was someone who was willing to take the time to get to know us well before baby #2 was born, but also someone with a kind vibe/aura (IYKYK), who could advise us on some additional labor coping movements and massage/pressure points, and she did all of the above plus more. If we have another baby, she will undoubtedly be our Doula again. I genuinely recommend her on all levels. Even after our daughter was born, she stayed with us in the birth center for hours until I felt well and recovered enough for her to leave us (and this was past 1 am). She captured some absolutely precious, beautiful, and raw photos of our birth, on top of doing a newborn photoshoot for us. Themed and set where we wanted, yet again surpassing all expectations. She includes postpartum support as well, and she is so sweet when she came for her postpartum visit, she brought a batch of the most AMAZING lactation cookies ever (and might I say they sure worked for me!!). Cari will undoubtedly take the time to listen and form a plan that you want while informing you of all possibilities and taking care of you like a member of her own family, honestly. And who doesn't love a fellow nerd? Look no further. She IS the doula for you. THIS is the sign you're looking for.
