Hello, I'm Heather, a local certified birth doula. Being a birth doula is more than just showing up on the big day-it's the late night check-ins šŸŒ™ , the emotional support šŸ’• , the unwavering advocacy šŸ—£ļø , and the deep commitment to holding space for mothers in their most vulnerable moments šŸ¤±šŸ¼. It's educating, preparing, and ensuring that every mother feels safe, heard, and empowered. At New Roots, I, Heather Field, am honored to walk alongside each family on this sacred journey. The behind-the-scenes work is heavy, but the love, transformation, and strength I witness make it all worthwhile šŸ’›. This calling is not just a job-it's a purpose. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. While I may be new to officially taking on clients, I am NOT new to the birthing world. 8+ years in obstetric and gynecology clinical supervising care ā­ļø.

My name is Virginia Parent. I am a Doula and Night Nanny located in Venice, Florida. I have been a Doula for the last 5 years serving families from Lakewood Ranch, Myakka city, to Fort Myers. I believe all families deserve to have a supported birth experience. As a mother of 4, I have experienced two hospital births, one which was an induction and a NICU baby; and I have experienced two midwife supported water births. I have formula fed, exclusively pumped, and exclusively breastfed. My large range of personal experience helps me to remind my clients that birth has a wide range of normal and allows me to relate, personally, to clients no matter how they choose to give birth. I am here to help mother's experience a cozy and welcoming journey into their new roles as mothers and as a family. I am trained as a Postpartum Doula and have recently shifted into Night Nanny work. I am focused on providing parents with the best sleep they can get during the transitional times of being a new parent for the first time or the 5th time. This includes providing breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and pumping support, providing support through sleep regressions, schedules, and following the parents lead for their ideal sleep situations. I also offer breastfeeding and pumping support in small sessions to help with scheduling, latch issues (within normal range), and assisting when baby maybe struggling with growth. I love the work that I do because it helps support parents through some of the most trying and vulnerable times of their parenthood journey. I hope you consider me for your next journey through parenthood. I am an LLC, CPR/First Aid Certified, and Insured.

Prior to our son being born, I was already thinking about what I would say for this. Little did I know he’d start making his way the next morning after these thoughts… Jenny is an amazing Doula. Very kind and caring and genuine. I would share with her pretty much every part that I felt was important to share… Even when I felt I was oversharing, she encouraged me and appreciated that I wanted her to be a part of my journey. At times, when I felt overwhelmed by outside voices and started to doubt myself or feel indecisive about upcoming decisions, she kept me grounded in the things that I wanted throughout my pregnancy, reminding me of the choices that I had. I never felt pressured to make a decision I wasn’t comfortable with. She is a great advocate, especially when I needed her at the hospital and was facing some complications. My husband and I took her birthing class a couple months prior as well - LOVED it. The knowledge and wisdom we gained from that class prepared us in things I hadn’t thought of, which also became beneficial when we were at the hospital. (Having a birth plan in place was sooo helpful once we were there) We were also shown a variety of labor positions and tools to use at home/during labor. I labored at home for about 10+ hours before heading to the hospital, where I found out I was already 7 to 8 cm dilated! Thank you Jenny!! I don’t think I would’ve made it that far at home without you. I will leave my post with this.. after our first meet up with her, my husband and I walked back to our car, and I asked him what he thought? He said, ā€œHire her. Just hire her. If we don’t, we’re going to probably regret it.ā€ Jenny has a gift - hiring her as our doula and taking that class was the best decision we made for us.

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!

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!

In addition to my commitment to inclusive and compassionate care, I am a proud Christian.

I'm dedicated to staying in the know, constantly educating myself on the specific needs of the communities I'm here to serve. It's not just about what I know now; it's about the continuous learning journey. Staying informed about the latest in doula care is my way of making sure I'm always offering the best support possible. I'm all about openness and zero judgment.

My wife and I were so grateful we came across Candice, she was absolutely amazing! I was away on work when my wife went into labor at our home, Candice immediately came over to our house to be with and help get my wife get into the right headspace. Unfortunately, our midwife was out of town, and by the time the backup midwife arrived, my wife had already delivered our beautiful girl! Candice was right there, every step of the way! Without a doubt, Candice helped make our girls entry into this world such a calm, peaceful and loving experience. I can't say enough good things about our experience. What an amazing person and soul, we highly recommend Candice.

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.
