My name is Kayla Brookins, and I'm a birth and postpartum doula and peer lactation counselor. I have been studying and preparing for birth work since 2017, and I feel deeply called to this work! I'm a deep believer in physiologic birth, that nobody knows better than you how to birth your baby. My role as your doula is to help you tap into that place of deepest knowing so that you enter your birthplace feeling completely empowered and move into the postpartum period prepared for rest and trusting your ability to parent.

Hi, my name is Kimberly. I am the manager of Gentle Beginnings LLC. I started my birth doula career back in 2020. I was a new mom and realized I had a passion for doula care and I decided to jump into it! Unfortunately, the pandemic made it quite difficult to attend births in person but that didn't stop me. Over the years, I learned many new families didn't just need a support person through birth but also for all the phases that followed. Currently I'm working towards my pediatric sleep consultant certification. My business partner, Evelyn, has 30+ years of experience as a nanny and newborn care specialist, and has recently been certified as a postpartum doula as well. We both decided it was time to start a new company that offered all the services! We look forward to helping you through any part of your journey as a new family and hope you choose us as your providers!

Hi! I’m a birth and postpartum doula passionate about helping families feel calm, informed and supported during one of the most transformative times in life.

I believe birth isn’t just a medical event that brings life into this world but a spiritual, vulnerable and transformative time and you as a mother deserve extra support.

Hello, My name is Erin and I am a certified Interdisciplinary Doula located in New Haven County. Birth is powerfully. But it can also feel overwhelming when you don’t known what to expect and decisions are happening around you instead of with you. I became a doula because I believe every mother deserves to feel supported, informed, and empowered during one of the most important moments of her life. My goal is to create a calm, safe space where mothers feel heard and respected in their choices. I hope to offer reassurance, guidance, and compassionate support so each mother can trust her body, feel confident in her journey, and remember her birth experience as one where she was truly cared for.

Hi, I’m Jasmine, a certified full spectrum doula with a postpartum focus. I am currently based in Worcester, Massachusetts and serve Greater Boston and surrounding communities. My background in early childhood education, child development, and critical ethnic and community studies shapes my warm, informed, and culturally responsive approach to care. I support families through the practical and emotional realities of welcoming a new baby, including newborn care, overnight support, parental rest and recovery, feeding support within my scope, sibling transitions, meal preparation, household organization, and the creation of sustainable family routines. Because no two families or postpartum experiences are alike, I prioritize clear communication, thoughtful observation, and care that respects each family’s culture, values, and choices. My experience spans classrooms, inclusive preschool settings, early intervention, private childcare, travel care, and hands-on household and family assistance. This allows me to see the whole picture: not only what the baby needs, but what will help the entire household feel calmer, more confident, and genuinely supported. I bring a steady presence, strong attention to detail, and a judgment-free approach to every home.

Hi, I'm Loreal. Let me introduce you to my whole self. The real me, because you deserve to know exactly who will be standing by your side - Not just my credentials. Not just my services. I'm a birth and postpartum Doula, yes, but more than that, I'm someone who genuinely cares about what happens to you long after the birth story is written. I show up soft when you need soft, and steady when everything feels like it's spinning. I'm a mom. I've lived inside the beautiful, messy, chaos of new parenthood. That means when you look at me across the room at 3AM, I'm not just trained but someone who truly gets it. My energy is warm. Maybe even familiar. Like the trusted auntie who shows up with food, no judgment, and just enough wisdom to help you breathe again. I don't come in to take over. I come in to hold you up. I believe in presence over performance. Asking what you actually need instead of assuming. Making sure that you feel seen, supported, and never, ever alone in one of the most life-changing seasons of your life.

I am passionate about supporting and empowering growing families through every stage of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. With more than 6 years of experience as a Certified Lamaze Childbirth Educator (LCCE), combined with Spinning Babies® training, I provide evidence-based childbirth education and personalized guidance in comfort measures and optimal fetal positioning to help parents feel confident, informed, and prepared for their birth experience. As a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), I offer breastfeeding support beginning with prenatal education and continuing throughout the postpartum fourth trimester. My approach is compassionate, inclusive, and centered on helping families feel supported, respected, and confident in their parenting journey. In addition to childbirth education and lactation support, I also provide doula birth services and postpartum care support, offering continuous emotional, physical, and educational care before, during, and after birth. My goal is to create a nurturing, judgment-free environment where families feel empowered and cared for during one of life’s most meaningful transitions.
