Hello, my name is Martha J. I am a Certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) with over 24 years of hands-on experience supporting families since 2000. I am deeply drawn to this work because I value the family environment and the critical role of care during the earliest days after birth. I provide emotional and practical support to parents both individually and as a couple, helping them navigate the transition with confidence and calm. Supporting mothers during the first weeks postpartum is a true calling for me. Caring for the newborn while parents recover from the long, demanding hours of labor, whether in a hospital setting or following a home birth, is work I find meaningful. I am experienced in breastfeeding support, including baby latching, milk production, expression, safe milk storage, and bottle feeding. I closely monitor the baby’s well-being, bringing the baby to the mother for feedings, changing diapers, swaddling, and supporting healthy sleep routines. I maintain clear daily communication with parents regarding their baby’s care and development. Additional responsibilities include washing pump accessories and bottles, wipes and diapers, diaper cream, etc., refills, light nursery tidying, and newborn laundry. My goal is to create a stable, supportive environment in which both parents and baby can rest, recover, and bond.

Hi parents, my name is Lindsey. I’ve been a nanny for 17+ years with most of my focus on children ages newborn to 6 years old. I am a specialized professional who will provide superior care and support to cater to each child individually. With my many years of experience, I am able to provide a top tier level of service for your family. I also support families as they welcome their new babies to the world. A postpartum doula/nanny is a valuable short term partner to help mom and dad rest during this huge life transition. I am dedicated to providing you with individualized service to aid in your newborns development and also providing you with essential skills and support that will help them thrive in all aspects of life.

As first time parents with demanding schedules, my wife and I knew we could use an extra set of helping hands. Lindsey was a Godsend and we honestly don’t know how we would have survived the last few months without her by our side. Not only did she give top tier care to our newborn but she was a mentor, friend and so much more. The help began before the baby even arrived with tips and suggestions as we waited to welcome our new addition. The help continued after arrival with tending to our colicky baby so we could rest and recharge our batteries to manage our busy days. She fed the baby, cared for the baby, taught us about sleep training and even helped with breast feeding concerns. As first time parents, we did all the reading and felt even with the knowledge we had learned on our own, Lindsey brought more to the table than we could have even hoped for. With so many years of experience and the delicate touch to soothe a fussy little one, she was well worth every penny. We have also already recommended her to several soon to be parents and think so highly of her, just wanted to take the time to share our amazing experience… Thank you Lindsey!

Hi y’all, For those interested in using a doula for your next pregnancy I highly recommend Juanita Lewis-Jones. She offered prenatal, delivery, and postpartum support and has been an absolute blessing to my husband and I. Doulas provide emotional support and work along side the medical providers. Juanita attended my first delivery at BAMC, helped me understand my options, and allowed me to make critical decisions in the labor room when it was most needed. She has such a calming presence and I felt comfortable leaning on her for guidance and support. Juanita is retired military and is very familiar with our particular needs as we are here on military orders and do not have any family in the area. She met with us virtually which made our meetings so convenient for our busy schedules. I would recommend requesting a doula early in pregnancy as their services are well sought after; however, they give priority to military, teen moms, and low income families. We have Christian and Buddhist backgrounds. If you’d like to incorporate belief into your journey, she will accommodate the request, but won’t push any particular sect which was perfect for our bi-cultural family. I recommend to every pregnant mom I meet to allow a doula to be part of their birth story. Juanita made all the difference in our experience. We have a healthy baby girl and I have healed both mentally and physically more quickly than I ever thought possible and I full heartedly believe it was due to her influence and support. We are better prepared as parents and partners to each other moving forward. We do and will always love Juanita like a family member Sincerely, Erika & Alex Rattanatay
