Hey everyone! My name is Andrea and I am a birth doula serving the Tampa Bay area and surrounding communities. I came to birth work through my own pregnancy, and what I discovered changed everything. Our bodies are not just capable of birth — they are magnificently designed for it. Every contraction, every breath, every moment of labor is part of a beautifully orchestrated process that women have carried within them since the beginning of time. I believe with my whole heart that birth can and should be a powerful, peaceful, and deeply fulfilling experience. As your doula, my role is to meet you exactly where you are and walk with you every step of the way — from your first prenatal conversation to your first moments as a mother. I bring evidence-based knowledge and genuine advocacy to every birth, so that you feel informed, heard, and empowered to make the choices that are right for you and your baby. My philosophy is rooted in one truth: your body is divine, beautifully made, and fully equipped. My job is simply to remind you of that when you need it most.

Hello, I’m Maggie A woman with short brown hair, red lipstick, wearing a maroon t-shirt, holding a camera, smiling, against a plain light-colored wall. Over the years, I've been fortunate to document and support countless inspiring and powerful women in various birth settings. I hold each experience in deep appreciation and honor. This diverse and profound range of experiences in the world of childbirth, coupled with my training as a midwife’s assistant, has equipped me with a unique understanding of the birthing journey. I support all types of birth environments, including hospital, high-risk, homebirth, birth center, natural hospital births, inductions, and trauma-informed care.

I’m Seyi. I have over 15 years of childcare experience in a variety of settings such as a babysitter, nanny, teacher, and now birth and postpartum doula. I am passionate about the field of birth work. After witnessing and hearing about many of the difficulties and abuse of power in hospital settings, my passion for helping people navigate these settings was ignited. It is impossible to guarantee a “perfect birth” but I believe that you should have the opportunity to be prepared for whatever may or may not happen. This includes being aware of medical interventions, having the best people for you in your birthing space, establishing and enforcing necessary boundaries, and ultimately doing the best for you! Childbirth is a beautiful process that is both natural and spiritual.

In my free time you will find me learning new things, cooking, crafting, helping others out, dancing with my toddler and spending time with those I love.
