Find a Birth Doula Near Me in Salem, MA

My name is Isabelle Peabody and I am a DONA Certified doula with over 10 year of experience. I absolutely love helping women and their families. My main goal is to bring joy and a sense of calm and the highest quality of care to my clients during pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Over the years, I have always said there are few things more beautiful than birth. It is when I am holding a new baby or supporting a new mother that I am reminded I have found my calling. In the midst of exhaustion, let me step in and guide you to find the most beautiful moments in your life. It truly takes a village to raise a child, and I am honored to be invited into your village. I am a mother of five children and have had many experiences while raising my children that I am able to use to support you as you navigate your birth and postpartum journey. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Penn State University. I am certified as a Birth and Postpartum Doula through ProDoula. I am certified in CPR & First Aid through the American Heart Association. I live in Danvers with my husband of 21 years and our three youngest daughters.

As a DONA International-workshop certified birth doula, I believe my role is to hold space for pregnant women with calmness, safety, and trust, guiding them through the sacred journey of childbirth. Like the ocean—my happy place—birth is a powerful, rhythmic force, and I am there to help women flow with its waves. By being fully present, I offer a steady hand, a listening ear, and a heart that honors each woman’s unique path. I use acupressure to ease pain and tension and breathing techniques to promote relaxation and strength, empowering women to trust their bodies and instincts. My experiences as a mother and grandmother teach me the depth of love and resilience in birth, while my 35-year marriage shows me the power of partnership—qualities I bring to support both mothers and their loved ones. Like tending my garden, I nurture a woman’s confidence, creating a safe space for her to bloom. Whether advocating for her wishes, soothing with a gentle touch, or guiding her breath to stay grounded, I ensure she feels heard and secure. My DONA training grounds my practice in compassionate, evidence-based care, helping every woman emerge from birth feeling empowered and proud, connected to her strength like the ocean’s endless tide.

From an early age, Rophe was drawn to birth work and the beauty of the experience. Rophe is passionate about advocating for couples and giving them the education they need to make informed decisions to take charge of their births. She believes strongly in the beauty and strength of a women's body and its intended design for birth. Melissa’s earliest memory of delighting in the birth process was as a child visiting the Science Museum. She remembers watching videos, one of a mother dancing in her labor room, another surrounded by her young family, while another escaped into a birthing pool to focus inwardly. It was not until Melissa became a mother herself that she realized just how empowering the birth space can be.

Hi there! Congratulations, expectant parent! I am a Certified Birth Doula & work in the Greater Boston area. I am passionate about providing access to birth support & am certified to take Mass Health members' insurance. I work with midwives in home birth settings; I work in hospitals in Boston, Framingham, Worcester, etc. This year, I was inducted into my college's Hall of Fame (sporty girl over here!) so I bring a physical strength alongside a deep serenity to all birth settings. I believe there is a sweet spot between kinetic intuition (let the person birth!!) & science therefore I arrive at this practice from this lens. I'm here to listen to what type of birth you're preparing for or beliefs you have as this is paramount to inform us (we're a team) & guide your birth in the most aligned & authentic way possible. When I am not on call, supporting pregnant people during prenatal visits, or nourishing folks during postpartum, I focus on building Earth Allies, my organic plant-based company that I founded in California. I am a mother to a two year old; I am in the process of adopting her out of the MA foster care system. May your pregnancy & birth be a positive one for YOU & your baby/babies.

Ashley's journey into the realm of motherhood was marked by challenges, particularly with postpartum anxiety following the birth of her son. The experience, not aligning with her envisioned childbirth, significantly impacted her postpartum transition. This prompted Ashley to delve into the intricacies of childbirth, recognizing a pressing need for maternal support during both the birthing process and postpartum period.Motivated by her own transformative experience, Ashley decided to pursue a homebirth with her daughter, finally obtaining the birthing and postpartum support she had sought. This pivotal moment inspired her to undergo comprehensive training as a birth and postpartum doula. Ashley's commitment to her role is evident in her diverse training background, including certifications from CAPPA, Newborn Mothers Collective, and Birth Arts International. Ashley is currently undergoing training to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and is actively accepting clients under the guidance of her mentor. As part of her commitment to supporting mothers, Ashley extends special discounts for those opting for homebirth and for repeat birth clients.
