Amazing Support – A True Blessing! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joanna Guzman. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. She provided not only expert knowledge and guidance but also incredible emotional support throughout my pregnancy, labor journey. During my delivery, Joanna was my rock—calm, reassuring, and always one step ahead, anticipating my needs before I even voiced them. She helped me feel empowered, confident, and safe throughout the entire process. Her warmth, patience, and dedication made all the difference, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. If you are looking for a compassionate, skilled, and incredibly supportive doula, I highly recommend Joanna .She is a gift to any family welcoming a new baby!

I am a certified postpartum doula. I have been married for 23 years and am a mother of four children, 8-20. As a longtime homeschooling family, we enjoy traveling, exploring nature, and seeking out new adventures together. Motherhood has been one of my greatest joys in life, and it is what first sparked my love of caring for newborns and supporting new families. I truly enjoy helping parents feel confident and supported as they welcome a new baby. Whether is caring for a newborn, offering reassurance to a tired mother, or helping families settle into their new routines, it is an honor to walk alongside parents during such a special season of life.

I have known Lindsay as both a close friend and as a parent, and I can confidently speak to her character and the qualities she brings to her work supporting families during the postpartum period. In my experience, she is consistently caring, loving, and deeply supportive of the people around her. She is someone who shows up reliably and follows through on what she says she will do, which speaks strongly to her dependability and integrity. She is attentive and thoughtful in her relationships, often anticipating the needs of others and offering support in a steady, grounded way. As a mother, I have seen her demonstrate patience, warmth, and a calm, nurturing presence with her own children. She is intentional in how she cares for her family, and she brings a strong sense of responsibility and compassion into her home life.

Cannot say enough good things about Candice!! Candice was an amazing post partum doula! She helped us through the night for the first month after our daughter was born. Her expertise, holistic approach and positive, reassuring demeanor was exactly what we needed during one of the craziest, most special times for us. Highly recommend!!

If you welcome me into your birth space I hold this responsibility close to my heart. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in trusting your body, knowing your rights, and protecting the sacredness of your birth! I can't wait to meet you!! The women + people I work with are looking for a doula who is… Collaborative, heart-centered, and authentic - While being evidence-based, flexible, and rooted in supporting intuitive, body-led birth I consider myself a birth nerd, and mental health advocate. I also have deep trust in the human body's ability to birth.

Michelle was an incredible source of strength during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. My labor didn’t go the way the birth plan we created and at times I felt overwhelmed and unheard by the doctors Michelle made sure I never felt invisible. She truly listened to me advocated for me, and helped me feel seen and understood when I needed it most. Even when things became difficult and unpredictable, she kept me grounded with her calm presence and reassurance. Having my doulas by my side made all the difference they supported me with so much compassion and care that it felt like having family in the room. I’m so grateful I got to work with them and I would want them by my side for every birth because of the love, strength, and comfort they brought to my experience. ?? Truly even after my emergency C-section having doulas was one of the best choices I've made.
