Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Somerville, MA

Hello everyone! I am a full spectrum doula and I currently have availability to take on birth clients. I am very passionate about working with birthing people and babies. I received my full spectrum doula certification from Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings in 2023 and I have been supporting families in this period of life for years. My experience is in doula care, infant day-care settings, nannying, non-profit work, and milk banking. My long term goal is to have an impact on marginalized communities. Doula care, especially support during the postpartum period, is seen as a luxury to many people, because it has become more inaccessible. I aim to serve all families and parents, especially those that are not always able to get the care that they need. I am also a certified breastfeeding specialist.

Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m fluent in Portuguese and deeply passionate about supporting and empowering women during one of the most meaningful moments of their lives. With a background in childcare, I’ve always loved working with children and families. My path shifted after becoming pregnant with my twins. Experiencing a high-risk pregnancy during the height of COVID opened my eyes to how much support is often missing for women during pregnancy and birth. That experience inspired me to become an advocate—helping women find their voice, feel confident in their choices, and stand firm in the care they deserve throughout their birthing journey. As someone who is half Brazilian and half Portuguese, family is at the heart of everything I do. It brings me so much joy to support women as they grow their families in ways that feel right and meaningful to them. I’m truly honored to help guide you through one of the most beautiful and transformative experiences life has to offer.

For more than 8 years, I have had the privilege of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood, including more than 40 births. My approach is warm, calm, evidence-informed, and nonjudgmental. I believe there is no single “right” way to give birth, my role is not to tell you what your birth should look like, but to help you feel informed, prepared, heard, and supported as you make the choices that are right for you and your family. I have experience supporting unmedicated births, epidurals, inductions, VBACs, cesarean births, breastfeeding, postpartum adjustment, and childbirth education. My background in parenting consultation and Circle of Security also shapes the way I care for families. I see birth not as an isolated event, but as the beginning of a new chapter for the whole family. I love supporting parents as they build confidence, learn to understand their baby's needs, and find their own way into parenthood. I provide support in English, Portuguese, and Spanish and proudly serve families throughout the MetroWest area. My hope is that every family I work with feels respected, cared for, and never alone in the journey.

From an early age, Rophe was drawn to birth work and the beauty of the experience. Rophe is passionate about advocating for couples and giving them the education they need to make informed decisions to take charge of their births. She believes strongly in the beauty and strength of a women's body and its intended design for birth. Melissa’s earliest memory of delighting in the birth process was as a child visiting the Science Museum. She remembers watching videos, one of a mother dancing in her labor room, another surrounded by her young family, while another escaped into a birthing pool to focus inwardly. It was not until Melissa became a mother herself that she realized just how empowering the birth space can be.

Ashley's journey into the realm of motherhood was marked by challenges, particularly with postpartum anxiety following the birth of her son. The experience, not aligning with her envisioned childbirth, significantly impacted her postpartum transition. This prompted Ashley to delve into the intricacies of childbirth, recognizing a pressing need for maternal support during both the birthing process and postpartum period.Motivated by her own transformative experience, Ashley decided to pursue a homebirth with her daughter, finally obtaining the birthing and postpartum support she had sought. This pivotal moment inspired her to undergo comprehensive training as a birth and postpartum doula. Ashley's commitment to her role is evident in her diverse training background, including certifications from CAPPA, Newborn Mothers Collective, and Birth Arts International. Ashley is currently undergoing training to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and is actively accepting clients under the guidance of her mentor. As part of her commitment to supporting mothers, Ashley extends special discounts for those opting for homebirth and for repeat birth clients.

Birth is not something I view as a medical event to be managed — it’s a profound, transformative rite of passage. I believe women are far stronger than our culture gives them credit for, and my role as a doula is not to “save” or direct you, but to protect your space, guard your autonomy, and remind you of your own power when things feel intense. I had a home birth myself, and that experience deeply shaped how I see birth: as something instinctive, sacred, and worthy of respect — whether it unfolds at home, in a birth center, or in a hospital. I support families who want evidence-based information without fear-based pressure. I believe informed consent matters. I believe your intuition matters. And I believe the hands attending your birth should feel steady, calm, and safe. My approach is grounding, honest, and deeply supportive — I will meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and help you feel confident walking into your birth knowing you are prepared, supported, and never alone.
