Here's a professional bio you can use for networking groups, your website, speaking events, or referral introductions: My name is Tamari Soosi, and I am the founder of Doda Doula (dodadoula.org). I am a birth doula, postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and lactation support professional dedicated to helping families feel informed, supported, and confident throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and infant feeding. My passion for birth work began through my love of supporting families and caring for children. Over the years, I realized I wanted to provide deeper support during the transition into parenthood, which led me to pursue professional training in birth support, childbirth education, postpartum care, and lactation. I continue to expand my knowledge through ongoing education in trauma-informed care and women's health. As a doula, I believe every family deserves evidence-based information, compassionate support, and the opportunity to make informed decisions that align with their values and goals. I am especially passionate about helping families build confidence, reduce fear, navigate challenges, and feel empowered throughout their parenting journey. My skills include emotional and physical labor support, comfort measures, birth planning, partner preparation, advocacy, postpartum recovery support, newborn care education, breastfeeding and feeding guidance, and creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where families feel heard and respected. My approach is warm, honest, trauma-informed, and centered on meeting each family where they are. Through Doda Doula, my goal is to ensure that no parent feels alone as they navigate one of life's most meaningful transitions. 🤍

As an expecting mom, Colleen has been with me every step of the way. She is very attentive to my concerns and personalize my care to fit my needs. Being a high risk mom she goes above and beyond to make sure I am knowledgeable about my condition and helps me make informed decisions for my birth plan. She is very straight forward, and gives the most accurate advice with her line of expertise. I am truly grateful that I have her as my Doula. She is always a phone call, text or email away. So if you are looking for a caring, hands on Doula, Collen is the best option for you. You wont be disappointed.

Hello! My name is Olivia, and I am an experienced childcare professional with over five years of caregiving experience for children of all ages, including more than three years working professionally as a nanny in NYC/NJ. My recent work has focused primarily on infants, supporting families through feeding, sleep challenges, developmental milestones, and the day to day transitions that come with a growing baby. I am currently completing my training as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) and Postpartum Doula (PPD), and I am passionate about supporting families during the early weeks and months of parenthood. I believe every family deserves compassionate, reliable support during this significant life transition. Welcoming a new baby can be joyful, exciting, overwhelming, and exhausting all at once, and my goal is to help parents feel informed, confident, and cared for as they navigate this new chapter. My caregiving philosophy is heavily rooted in kindness, respect, and collaboration. I strive to meet families where they are, support their individual parenting goals, and create a calm, nurturing environment where both parents and babies can thrive. In addition to my nanny experience, I have worked as an assistant teacher in a Level 3 ASD elementary SpEd classroom, and am certified in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR and First Aid. I look forward to supporting families with warmth, professionalism, and evidence-based care during some of life’s most precious moments. I am happy to provide references of former families with infants I have worked with.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from my birth and postpartum doula, Kei. From my third trimester all the way through labor and the first four weeks postpartum, Kei was a constant source of guidance, comfort, and strength. Kei provided me with an abundance of resources, including recipes, guides, exercises, and daily affirmations, which were invaluable during my pregnancy. She was instrumental in helping me stick to my birthing plan, yet was flexible and adaptive when changes were necessary during labor and delivery. One of the many thoughtful gestures Kei made was gifting me a birth exercise ball and warm compresses for breastfeeding. Her knowledge on breastfeeding and pumping was extensive; she not only educated me on the process but also made me a special lactation tea that significantly helped increase my milk production. Her hands-on approach in showing me how to breastfeed, along with tips for storage, was incredibly reassuring for a first-time mom like me. Kei's expertise didn't stop there. She helped our baby accept a pacifier, something we struggled with on our own, and showed us various tools and techniques to soothe our baby during those tough middle-of-the-night crying spells. Her 24/7 availability was a lifeline, especially when I experienced Braxton Hicks contractions and needed reassurance. During labor, Kei's support was unwavering. She stayed with me for over 24 hours in the hospital, ensuring I never lacked anything, whether it was physical comfort or emotional encouragement. Kei's presence gave me the confidence and strength I needed to navigate this new chapter of my life. I left this experience not just with a supportive doula but with a life-long friend. I wholeheartedly recommend Kei's doula services to anyone seeking comprehensive prenatal and postpartum support. Her dedication, compassion, and expertise are unmatched. Thank you, Kei, for being an indispensable part of my journey into motherhood.

I was so happy to have Ally by my side for the delivery of my son! Our prenatal sessions with super informative and made me feel prepared and confident going in to the birth process. Most of all, I deeply appreciated Ally's peaceful, intuitive, and positive nature throughout my labor. That is exactly what I needed most leading up to and during birth. I have a lot of great memories around my birth, attributed largely to the support and environment that Ally helped create throughout the whole process. I highly recommend hiring Ally as a doula. Their care was so crucial for my family. Our OB and nurses also commented on how nice it was to have them there with us during birth!

Our choice of choosing Thandia was the best thing for our baby,Very professional,punctual,organized,respectful and supportive.Josh was born premature and we had some hitches on who we'd choose to hire,He spends 5 weeks in ICU and coming home with a weight of 3lbs 8 ounces was a challenge given my husband and I were first time parents,Thandia was recommended be a good friend of mine and she pulled through every task needed without guessing,we'd asked tons of questions and off the bat she responded with a variety of info that is still valuable today.We miss her so much and never wanted her to leave.She is a 10 out of 10.
