Hi, I’m Rachael! I am a mom of three not-so-little kids (ages 21, 16, and 13), and a military spouse of 17 years, so I know a little about having to build your own village. I am a certified labor doula, postpartum and bereavement doula, to be a part of that village in your life. After walking alongside three families as a gestational carrier, I found my calling in nurturing others through the many paths of parenthood. I have always been passionate about pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and all things baby, so I knew I wanted to find my place in the birth world. I am certified through Birth & Baby University and currently training with StillBirthday to offer a well-rounded education along with my personal experiences with pregnancy, birth, and parenting. I offer gentle, hands-on support during birth, the postpartum period, and in times of pregnancy or infant loss. Whether you're preparing for a joyful delivery, adjusting to life with a newborn, or grieving a loss, I want to be the one to walk beside you, hold space for your experience, and offer the support you deserve. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me at home hanging out with my husband, our kids, and three dogs. In my spare time, I love being in the garden, on my yoga mat, or curled up with my knitting and a good movie.

Creating a nurturing and engaging environment for children is my passion. I hope to become a birth and postpartum doula in the future. With five years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, I understand the unique needs of each developmental stage. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. My training includes first aid training, CPR training and completion of early childhood development coursework. I'm also happy to help with keeping the space tidy and any pets in the house. My goal is to support your family by providing reliable care and creating a positive experience for your children, and I look forward to the possibility of getting to know your family!

My name is Santrice and I am a DONA trained, faith based, Christian doula located in Henrico VA. My mission is to provide mothers with a positive, calming, stress-free experience. Because every birth is unique, I adapt to each individual, based on their needs. By focusing on relaxation, safety and pain management my goal is to keep intervention at a minimum but also provide reassurance for mom to do what's best for her and her baby. I have 16 years of experience as a nanny, as well and 10 years as a senior caregiver. Being able to show love, support, and companionship mentally, physically and emotionally has always been my passion. As a child, I wanted to become an ob-gyn but was not able to take that route due to unpredictable life circumstances. Now that I've overcome those obstacles, I am excited to be of service to moms and families across the world. As your doula, I look forward to being part of your pregnancy journey to create memories that will last a lifetime!

I'm a certified postpartum doula and certified breastfeeding specialist living in Richmond, VA. I've been doing this work for over 11 years, and I feel so honored to walk the early months of life with a new baby or babies alongside the families I serve. It's a beautiful, vulnerable time full of questions, joys, and concerns, and I love supporting families through all of it. I have extra training and expertise in supporting breastfeeding/chest feeding, since so many of parents' early concerns revolve around feeding, and there is not enough good lactation help available to most families. I work with first-time parents and those expecting their second, third, or more babies- everyone's needs are a bit different, but everyone can use extra hands and a listening ear during this time of transition. I would love to chat with you to get to know you and your family!

Hi I’m a business professional with two kids, 19 and 10. I’m looking to spend time with babies and support new moms however needed.

I know firsthand how invaluable doula support is. As an RN, I thought I was well-prepared for childbirth. At the urging of my midwife, I sought doula support for the birth of my 1st baby. My doula’s physical & emotional presence during a long labor & strenuous delivery was crucial, & I left the experience convinced that a doula should be present at every birth. Soon my friends began to come to me for birthing support, & I attended births as a friend & advocate. I fell in love with birth work & completed doula training with ToLabor in April 2020. I help my clients navigate their options to make informed decisions that work well for their family & their goals. I want to make sure you are seen & heard. I love walking alongside families, encouraging & educating them along the way. With 7 years of hospital nursing experience, I understand the ins & outs of the hospital system. As a mom of 3, I know the transition into parenthood is no small thing—I want to be a part of your village!

Hello, I’m a state certified birth and postpartum doula but most importantly the heart behind Eden’s Pearl. I provide grounded, centered care for mothers who want to feel supported, seen, and at peace throughout their pregnancy and birth experience. My approach is calm, intuitive, and deeply rooted in creating a safe space where you can stay connected to yourself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I believe birth is not just a physical experience, but a transformative moment in a woman’s life. My role is to walk alongside you with steady support, helping you feel informed, confident, and empowered in your choices.

As a full spectrum doula, integrative lactation and feeding specialist, and licensed massage therapist, I have a passion for supporting all genders, bodies, and family structures through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My personal birthing experiences include a planned home birth, turned hospital induction, turned cesarean, followed by a home birth VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean.) I have supported births ranging from unmedicated to planned cesareans, and would love to help you achieve the birth that is best for you. I especially value the opportunity to work with queer and trans people, neurodivergent families, and people preparing for births after cesareans. I stay up to date on recommended vaccines to maintain the safety of the populations I work with.

My name is Ashley Gopaul. I am a state certified full spectrum Doula & Certified Lactation Consultant. I started my journey as a doula in 2021 while finishing my last semester at VCU with my Bachelors in Health Sciences. I started with Birth In Color RVA as an intern finishing my requirements for graduation and left my internship ….as a doula ! Working as a doula is truly such a rewarding field as I am allowed the opportunity to create a safe space for my clients to be vulnerable, empowered, deconstruct stigmas, and really get into their lives to optimize a safe birth as well as set them up for a successful start to parenthood. With the help of my mentor and experience, I then opened “Lily’s Birth Boutique,” to further expand support to my community. Whether I am helping a first time or a fifth time parent, every experience is so unique and is truly a learning experience even for myself. On a personal note, my side interests and hobbies include playing with interior design, spending time with family, and dance !

I am a certified full-spectrum birth and bereavement doula for any and all types of people and births, as well as a Certified Lactation Counselor.

Hello/Shalom!♥️ Im Judith☺️ Mom of 8 beautiful children, Birth/Postpartum Doula, Herbalist, and Childbirth educator. I like to take the more Holistic route with birth with as less interventions as possible as I do believe the woman’s body simply just knows what to do, BUT I’m completely open to all angles of birth (homebirth, birth center, Hospital) as I’m here to serve and protect 🥰.

I’m a postpartum doula and placenta encapsulation specialist serving in Richmond and Henrico, VA.

I am a postpartum doula certified through DONA International, a lactation consultant trained through The Healthy Children Project, and a Ayurvedic masseur certified through The California College or Ayurveda. I’m a personal chef that specializes in postpartum nutrition and have a catalogue of frozen stews, broths and soups to choose from if you need inspiration for your meal planning. I meet prenatally to help organize the home, nursery and any other members of the support team. (Outlining responsibilities and expectations is work that is best done in advance.) I provide a newborn care class and a lactation class as well as meal prep for soups, stews and broths to be frozen. I always encourage my clients to try to book me for a visit right after the birth while in the hospital for lactation support and a modified version of my Ayurvedic massage. Once the family is home I cook nourishing foods rich in iron, protein, collagen, micro and macro nutrients to aid in recovery from depletion and help speed healing. (I also have a Postpartum Soup Bundle that can be purchased ahead of time.) I do dishes, laundry and of course provide even more lactation support. I can also simply care for the newborn while parents sleep. After the first few weeks the focus tends to shift into finding a daily rhythm, newborn care techniques and education on developmentally appropriate sleep habits for the baby. I also help parents with planning childcare help. I can be a sleep consultant one day and provide a massage the next. Maybe I play with the older children while mama naps with the newborn. Sometimes the work is just to sit and talk about all the things that the parents are struggling with. My job and my life’s joy is to simply be an extra set of hands or a sympathetic ear to new parents.
