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).

Hey there! My name is Brittany aka Bejay. I am a married mother of five children ranging from 16 years old to 18 months old. I am located in Tampa, Florida serving in the Hillsborough county and surrounding areas. I am currently a Birth & Postpartum & infant care doula! When I was 18 years old I attending nursing school. Labor and delivery was my FAVORITE unit but I knew that, that was not the way I wanted to help birthing people. As my own family grew my desire to have an out of hospital birth increased. With my fourth and fifth pregnancies I was able to fulfil those desires with my sister acting as my doula. With the level of care I received I knew that being a birth worker was where I could help! My heart is to provide help to all families alike. Walking, standing, or squatting (LOL) along side them on their beautiful journey! No birth is the exact same so I strive to be not only supportive but inclusive as well! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wild and crazy family!

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.

My name is Allison and I am your Unconquered Mama. I am a wife and mother to two beautiful little girls. It was during my first pregnancy that I started to have a desire to get into birth work. I noticed right away that pregnant and postpartum Mamas needed much more support than they were getting. Immediately after my traumatic pregnancy and postpartum period with my youngest daughter I knew it was time for me to step into a new role; so I became a Doula and Breastfeeding Educator so that no other Mama would have to go through the struggles that I went through. I want to help every Mama feel the way I did when I broke through my struggles and emerged UNCONQUERED!

Motherhood it’s simply fascinating. All of my life I’ve been intrigued by it, and after having my first five children I decided to begin this journey as a Doula - and we have since added two more babies to our bunch. It is an honor and privilege to be the laboring mama‘s support as she transitions into the season of motherhood. Through my own experience, as well as experience of the women in my life, I have learned how very different many women can react to labor. There are lots of strategies and techniques to get through each contraction, and I just love empowering women to allow their bodies to do just that. I would love the opportunity to serve you and your growing family as you bring your sweet babe into the world 🤍

I’m an experienced birth doula certified by DONA for over 15 years. I have been Tricare certified since the start of their doula demonstration. I have attended births in all Tampa area hospitals and birth centers. I also work in NYC. Attended nearly 200 births and happy clients.

Recent review

Love, love, love Lori! She went above and beyond during my birth. She stayed with us for hours while we were waiting, and even when she had to step away after being there all day, she came right back to the hospital as soon as things started moving. She supported both me and my husband so much—helping him with comfort measures and helping me with breathing, pushing, and staying calm. Her presence was steady, kind, and exactly what we needed. I would have Lori again in a heartbeat!

Giselle was wonderful to our child. In many ways, she could comfort him better than we could. She helped us at such a critical stage and we learned so much from her.

Jessica is truly an exceptional birth doula! From the moment we connected, I felt completely supported, seen, and empowered. She brought such a calming, grounded energy to every conversation and made me feel safe and informed every step of the way. During labor, Jessica was an absolute rock. Her presence was so steady and reassuring, she knew exactly when to step in with support and when to hold space quietly. Whether it was physical comfort measures, emotional encouragement, or just being a warm and compassionate presence, she was exactly who I needed. My birth experience was more positive and empowered because of her. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, trauma-informed, and intuitive, and you can tell how deeply she cares about the families she supports. I honestly can’t imagine going through birth without her! If you’re considering working with Jessica, do it. She’s a gift.
