My name is Caroline and I am a certified birth doula serving Lakeland, Florida. I am passionate about providing calm, compassionate, inclusive support to pregnant people before, during, and after birth by providing information and resources, as well as emotional and physical support. My goals are to help you seek out evidence based information, preparing you to be an empowered decision maker; offer encouragement to advocate for yourself, no matter what type of birth you choose; utilize different tools and resources to support you physically in labor; and lastly, but most importantly, hold space for you. I believe in collaboration with my local birth community to best support my clients by having access to referrals, recommendations, and additional resources. A little about me: I am married to my high school sweetheart and we welcomed our first baby girl to our family in 2023. When I am not at births, I am working at the Montessori School as a part time sub, caring for my daughter, or enjoying quality time with my family.

Brittany was a fantastic nanny to my son from when he was 4 months old until he was almost a year old. She was one of the only people we could trust with our son, and we trusted her more than any of our family members! She is a natural caregiver who is kind and so very attentive to the needs of a newborn baby. We are so grateful to have found Brittany, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable, professional, and experienced childcare for their newborn!

Hi my name is Vanesa, located in Ellenton FL and have over a decade in infant care. My mission is to provide families the leisure/pleasure of sleep while ensuring their newborn receives the attentive and expert care throughout the night. With over 100 hours of volunteer work at my local hospital on the Mother and Baby Unit the gap from home and hospital is bridged. Whether you are breastfeeding, bottle-feeding or just navigating multiple challenges as your aid I will soothe the transition of care so you can get a great nights rest. We are a team and while the baby is sleeping or not requiring of my care, I will manage light household tasks such as sterilizing baby bottles, setting up prep work for the infant if needed for bottles, diapers/wipes and doing infant laundry. A little about myself is that I am a full time student who will be graduating soon, I go to church every Sunday and enjoy taking my Dog out for Walks. I can easily be reached over text and do not mind answering questions if any arise.

Hello I'm Courtney (she/her)! I am a cross trained doula, certified through ProDoula. I am a mom of 6 kids ages 16-4. As a former military spouse, my kids were born in 4 different states! I moved to FL in OCT 2019. My oldest was a traumatic labor and delivery. It was with a provider that I didn't research and everything felt out of my control. It was rushed, medicated, and scary. After that I promised myself to have a better birth next time. All of my other children have been natural births, in the hospital, with a midwife. I decided to become a doula early into 2021 after finding out I was going to be an aunt. I researched and learned and realized that this is my passion. As a doula I offer many forms of support and aid. I am trained in natural pain relief positioning, comforting touch, and breathing techniques. I am an emotional support to ensure that families have a positive birthing experience. I also am a support to your birth partner, whether your birth partner is a spouse, parent, romantic partner, family member, or friend. I help to make sure your birth partner is as involved as you wish them to be. I help you to make informed decisions that work best for you and your birth experience. I believe in informing my clients, not influencing them. I advocate for you! I will help your voice and wishes be heard so you can have the birth that you want and deserve. I want to make sure things are done with your consent and understanding. Whether you choose a hospital, birthing center or home birth, whether you want a medicated or unmedicated birth, a doula is an integral part of your birth. I hope to join you in this special time in your life.

Suzanne came rolling into our hospital room with a big smile, a positive attitude & several relaxation methods. She turned down the lights, closed the door, put on lullaby music and transported me to a less intimidating environment. It was like I was at the spa (well, almost lol).

Hi, I’m Destiny Consuelo — a postpartum doula and newborn care provider specializing in responsive, intuitive, and deeply grounded overnight care. My approach is centered on the belief that the earliest days of life shape not only sleep, but the long-term emotional foundation of a child. With many years of hands-on newborn experience, I’ve supported families across the country in creating calm nights, confident days, and secure beginnings. I believe in co-regulation and respecting each baby’s rhythm as they learn to grow secure attachments and trust in their new environment outside of the womb. I believe in high-touch, responsive care which is part of why my style of care includes “awake” care. I provide detailed notes and “next steps” for first-time parents who may also appreciate in-depth guidance and opinions from an experienced perspective. I am Calm. Attuned. Responsive. Evidence-informed.
