Find a Doula Near Me in Shelton, CT

Hi, I’m Ryann, a certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and proud mom of four. I live on Long Island, where I’m raising my family and serving growing families in the community I love. My journey into motherhood has deeply shaped who I am and how I show up as a doula. I’ve experienced firsthand the joy, intensity, vulnerability, and transformation that birth and postpartum bring; and I carry that lived wisdom into every space I enter. Before stepping into this work full-time, I spent 13 years in corporate healthcare and hold a Master’s degree in Healthcare Administration. That experience gives me a strong foundation in organization, communication, and advocacy - skills I now bring into supporting families with clarity, confidence, and care. I’ve always had a passion for supporting women - for advocating when they don’t feel heard, for empowering them when they’re unsure, and for holding space when things feel overwhelming or unpredictable. My mission is to remind every mother that they are worthy of care, choice, and support — no matter how their journey unfolds. Whether you’re planning a home birth surrounded by loved ones, delivering in a hospital, choosing a cesarean, or navigating an unmedicated or medicated birth - I meet you where you are. There is no “right” way to bring a baby into the world, and I tailor my care to support your unique story, values, and vision. Through Four Roots Doula, I offer evidence-based education, emotional support, advocacy, and hands-on care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My role is to be a steady, calm presence - someone you can trust to show up fully, without judgment, with compassion and clarity. I am also CPR certified, adding an extra layer of preparedness and safety to the care I provide. Birth is beautiful. So is the strength that rises in you when you’re supported. I’d be honored to be part of your story.

Hi, and welcome to Wholehearted Welcome. I’m Karen—but you’re more than welcome to call me Nana. I’m a mother of three—twins born by C-section and a daughter lovingly welcomed through adoption—and a proud grandmother of five, including one cherished bonus grandchild. I’m currently working toward my certification through Mama Glow, and I offer birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum support, along with sibling prep when needed. I come to this work as an elder, a world citizen, and someone who shows up with open arms, a full heart, and a deep belief that birth is a sacred journey. I’m the kind of doula who jumps in with both feet—ready to hold space, advocate, laugh with you, cry with you, and do what needs to be done. Whether you’re parenting solo, welcoming through adoption, or finding your way as a new family, I create a warm, steady, and wholehearted space where you’ll feel supported every step of the way.

Hi my name is Ashlynn and I am the owner of Nurtured Blossoms Doula Care. I have 9 years of experience working with children and families across the lifespan. I also have a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Colorado State University Pueblo. I completed postpartum doula training with DONA. I then started working as a postpartum doula with San Antonio Birth Doulas where the emphasis was on serving teen and lower-income families. Nurtured Blossoms Doula Care was then born and I have continued to serve families as a postpartum doula. I have always had a passion for all things birth, postpartum, child development, and helping others especially parents. When I had my first I struggled with postpartum depression, navigating working after having a baby, breastfeeding pain, and just normal new parent transitions. I then realized just how important having support after having a baby is! It's amazing how much just a little bit of additional support can make a difference in your postpartum experience. Having a baby whether it's your first or fifth will always be a transition, but every mother and family deserves to be supported, nurtured, and educated during the postpartum period. When I am not serving families as a postpartum doula I reside with my two kids and husband in Vernon, Connecticut. Where I enjoy spending time in nature, reading a good book, and visiting farmer's markets, or a local coffee shop.

Jennifer’s passion for working as a postpartum doula is fueled by the incredible experience she had with her own doula when her son was six weeks old while living in New York City. She was struggling with breastfeeding, feeling anxious and alone, and her doula was able to melt it all away. She even made her a quiche! It is Jennifer's desire to give back the comfort and love she received from her doula to every one of her clients through her #compassioninaction method.
