Hi! I'm Gabriella, and I’m passionate about supporting women and families through their fertility, pregnancy, labor, and motherhood journeys. My path to becoming a doula began in 2014 after my own empowering birth experience with my first child. Inspired, I became a certified childbirth educator through the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth and discovered my deep passion for women’s health and well-being. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to support families in various ways—whether teaching childbirth education, offering lactation consulting, or even serving as a virtual doula in moments of need. My own birth experiences have shaped my practice. From a beautiful birth center delivery to navigating an unexpected emergency C-section, and finally achieving my VBAC home birth, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my work. These experiences have fueled my commitment to empowering families with knowledge, confidence, and holistic care. At the end of 2023, I made the decision to leave my corporate career to pursue my dream full-time. I am currently trained through DONA International, a globally respected organization, and offer compassionate, intuitive support focused on mental, physical, and nutritional health. My approach is holistic and tailored to each family’s unique needs, ensuring that partners feel confident and supported throughout the journey.

Hello, I am Brittany. I am a mother of 4 children, ranging in ages from 9 to 15 years old. I’ve had the honor of supporting families as they transition into life with a new baby/babies. My own journey through motherhood is what first called me. It opened my eyes to how much support, care, and reassurance moms truly need in those early days. While newborns are incredibly special, I believe that when a mother feels supported, confident, and nurtured, the entire family thrives. Being able to care for babies is a bonus, but my heart is in making sure moms feel seen, heard, and held during one of the most transformative times in their lives.

Hi, I’m Merinda! I’m married to my husband of 12 years, and together we’re raising three beautiful kids. I’m an Ohio native, but Florida has been home since 2017, and Sarasota is a place we’ve grown to love deeply. Our home is currently shared with our sheepadoodle, kitten, and four hens who keep life interesting! It’s a little busy, a little chaotic, and exactly the kind of full life I love. My husband and I also have the incredible privilege of serving as pastors of a local church body in Sarasota. We’ve been in full-time ministry for the past nine years, and it is both our passion and our honor to pursue the heart of God and walk alongside others as they seek Jesus. That calling has shaped so much of who I am and how I care for people—especially in the moments when life feels tender, uncertain, or overwhelming. I’m also a life coach, which means I spend a lot of time helping people work through those “stuck” places in their lives. I ask a lot of questions, listen closely, and help people uncover the answers that are often already within them. I love helping people move from feeling overwhelmed or uncertain to feeling clear, confident, and capable. That same heart is what drew me so deeply into birth work. My own experiences with pregnancy and birth have given me a unique perspective. I’ve experienced epidurals, elective inductions without an epidural, IVF, and I also had the incredible privilege of being a gestational carrier for my sister-in-law! Experiencing birth in such different ways has given me a deep compassion for the fact that there is no single “right” way for a birth story to unfold. Every mother, every baby, and every family brings a different story into the room. My approach to doula care is balanced, steady, compassionate, and calm. I’m a huge proponent of informed decision-making, and I believe you deserve to understand your options and feel confident in the choices you make for yourself and your baby. Whether your birth unfolds exactly as you imagined or takes an unexpected turn, I want you to feel supported, respected, and cared for every step of the way. I’m especially passionate about helping both mothers and fathers understand the incredible design of a woman’s body and the power it holds with physiological birth. I want families to walk into birth with knowledge instead of fear, confidence instead of uncertainty, and a deep trust in the process while remaining open to whatever their individual journey may bring. And honestly, one of the biggest reasons I care so deeply about supporting mothers is because other women have done the same for me. There have been women who stepped into my life and held me through some of my most vulnerable moments. I know firsthand the difference that kind of support can make. The power of being seen, encouraged, listened to, and simply not having to carry something alone has driven me to do the same for other women. So if you’re here wondering whether you’re “the kind of mom” who needs a doula, wondering if your questions are too many, or wondering if something is TMI—I want you to know you’re in the right place. There is no TMI here. There are never too many questions. You don’t have to have it all figured out on your own! I’m here for you—to listen, to educate, to encourage, and to support you in the same way other women have carried me. Whatever your birth journey looks like, we’re in it together.

Hi mama, I’m Sam. I’m a pregnancy, labor, and postpartum doula—and a former labor & delivery nurse—so I’ve supported women through both the clinical and deeply personal sides of birth. I know how overwhelming this season can feel. The questions, the unknowns, the “am I doing this right?” thoughts that come up when you’re trying to make the best decisions for you and your baby. My role is to help you feel informed, grounded, and supported every step of the way—whether that means advocating for your preferences, helping you navigate the unexpected, or simply being a calm, steady presence when you need it most. This is your birth, your postpartum, your experience—and you deserve to feel confident and cared for through all of it. I’m here for you 🤍

Hi! I’m Raymah, a certified birth and postpartum doula supporting families since 2017. I’ve had the privilege of supporting more than 100 families through birth and postpartum, with thousands of hours of hands on experience caring for newborns and helping parents navigate those first weeks at home. I believe doula support should leave you feeling more confident, not more dependent. During pregnancy and birth, I help families understand their options, prepare for what to expect, and feel informed and supported throughout labor and delivery. After baby arrives, I help bridge the gap between bringing a newborn home and actually feeling comfortable caring for one. We can work through feeding, diapering, bathing, soothing, newborn cues, sleep rhythms and routines, postpartum recovery, and all of the little questions that come up once you’re home with your baby. Postpartum support can include daytime care, overnight support for rest and recovery, newborn and parent education, or a combination tailored to your family’s needs. My approach is warm, practical, judgment free, and grounded in experience. There is no one right way to birth or parent. My job is to meet your family where you are, give you reliable support and education, and help you find the rhythm that works for your home.

What should be a time of intense joy can sometimes lead to feeling out of control. As a birth & labor doula, I know that having extra support both emotional & physically can bring peace of mind. Also knowing that your doula comes with a plethora of resources and extra support services is invaluable. Let me discuss with you how a labor & postpartum doula can benefit you so that you can enjoy this season of life with a new little one.

Throughout your birth, I’m there with steady, calm support—physically, emotionally, and informationally—always following your lead and advocating for what matters most to you. After your baby arrives, I provide a postpartum visit to help you settle in, debrief your birth if you’d like, and make sure you feel supported as you navigate early parenthood. My care adapts to your needs; whatever you want your birth and postpartum journey to look like, I’m there to walk beside you.
