Marissa Monteiro

Hello everyone! My name is Marissa Monteiro, and I am a trained birth doula proudly serving families throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts. My passion for caring for others has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. With over seven years of experience in healthcare, my background includes working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Certified Medication Technician (CMT), and experience in surgical services, alongside training in phlebotomy and EKG. These experiences have allowed me to care for individuals from all walks of life during some of their most vulnerable moments. As the founder of Mama Rissa’s Birth Garden, I believe that pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are more than medical experiences. They are deeply personal, emotional, and transformative journeys deserving of compassion, patience, education, and genuine support. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that every birthing person deserves to feel heard, respected, empowered, and actively involved in their own care. I strive to create a warm, judgment-free environment where families can ask questions, express their fears, celebrate their milestones, and navigate their experiences with confidence. As a woman of West African and Puerto Rican heritage, I also recognize the importance of culturally sensitive care, representation, and advocacy within maternal health. My goal is not to tell families how their birth experience should look, but to help them discover what feels right for them while providing continuous emotional, physical, and informational support. To me, being a doula is more than a profession. It's an opportunity to build meaningful connections, nurture families, and make sure no one feels alone during one of life's most significant transitions. At Mama Rissa’s Birth Garden, my approach is simple: nurturing families, honoring choices, and supporting every birth with heart. 🤍

Danielle Forte (she/her)

Danielle is a DONA International trained Labor and Birth Doula, NICU-Informed Doula, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. She is currently accepting birth clients through her doula practice, Wholehearted Birth Support. For the past decade, advocacy and empowerment have been at the heart of Danielle's clinical practice. This foundation led to a natural transition into birth work. Danielle arrived at birth work driven by a passion for supporting families with complex fertility journeys, providing trauma-informed birth support and increasing access to LGBTQIA2S+ affirming doula care. Danielle also cares deeply about improving perinatal mental health experiences and access to care, supporting NICU families, and facilitating full family wellness through offering postpartum planning guidance. Her approach to doula care is grounded in deep respect for her clients autonomy and choices, creating authentic connections, and providing compassionate evidence-based support. Pregnancy and birth can be unpredictable and expectant parents may find themselves in uncharted territory. Danielle provides a calm and steady presence and attuned, collaborative support throughout your pregnancy journey and birth experience. Danielle works in concert with the birthing parent and their support system to understand their birth preferences, concerns, and their hopes for their birth experience. She deeply honors the unique and personal journeys that bring people to parenthood, and seeks to understand her client's history prior to birth to inform the individualized care they would benefit from during labor and delivery. Advanced training in perinatal mental health and perinatal loss allow Danielle to not only provide supportive care during pregnancy and birth, but to create a holding environment through any pregnancy outcome. Times of great transition are deserving of tender support and care. Danielle's utmost hope is that time spent together leaves you feeling connected to needed support and with memories of an empowering birth experience.
