¡Hola! I'm Marly and I'm a trained birth and postpartum doula currently working towards DONA certification. I am passionate about families and attachment, and always in awe of childbirth and babies. Through my work as a mental health therapist, I came to realize how precious birth and postpartum are in anchoring attachment. So here I am! A little about me - I'm a mom to three awesome little ladies, and wife to an active duty sailor. In my free time I like to read, nap and sometimes jog/run. Thank you for your consideration!

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.

Hi, I’m Arianna, a birth and postpartum doula, certified women’s fitness coach, and respiratory therapist with over six years of experience caring for patients in critical care settings.
