My name is Caroline and I am a certified birth doula serving Lakeland, Florida. I am passionate about providing calm, compassionate, inclusive support to pregnant people before, during, and after birth by providing information and resources, as well as emotional and physical support. My goals are to help you seek out evidence based information, preparing you to be an empowered decision maker; offer encouragement to advocate for yourself, no matter what type of birth you choose; utilize different tools and resources to support you physically in labor; and lastly, but most importantly, hold space for you. I believe in collaboration with my local birth community to best support my clients by having access to referrals, recommendations, and additional resources. A little about me: I am married to my high school sweetheart and we welcomed our first baby girl to our family in 2023. When I am not at births, I am working at the Montessori School as a part time sub, caring for my daughter, or enjoying quality time with my family.

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!

Hello! I’m Giselle Beuscher, a Postpartum Doula located in St Petersburg, Florida. I first began working with families as an infant nanny at eighteen and fell in love, but it wasn’t until after college that I decided to pursue it as a career. Now after six years of hands-on experience working with multiple families, I’ve cultivated an understanding of the unique needs of newborns and a real passion for helping families navigate the fourth trimester. My practice aims to provide compassionate and evidence-based support for parents, to help them adapt and thrive in this stage of life.

Giselle was wonderful to our child. In many ways, she could comfort him better than we could. She helped us at such a critical stage and we learned so much from her.

I’m an experienced birth doula certified by DONA for over 15 years. I have been Tricare certified since the start of their doula demonstration. I have attended births in all Tampa area hospitals and birth centers. I also work in NYC. Attended nearly 200 births and happy clients.

Recent review

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!

Laurine was absolutely fantastic. She is extremely responsible, prompt, and very hard-working. In the short time that she helped us with our son, she helped us with her knowledge of sleep training and could not have been more loving and warm towards our newborn. She was extremely helpful in the downtime when the baby was sleeping with things that I needed help with which made my life so much easier. I would highly recommend her!

Motherhood it’s simply fascinating. All of my life I’ve been intrigued by it, and after having my first five children I decided to begin this journey as a Doula - and we have since added two more babies to our bunch. It is an honor and privilege to be the laboring mamaā€˜s support as she transitions into the season of motherhood. Through my own experience, as well as experience of the women in my life, I have learned how very different many women can react to labor. There are lots of strategies and techniques to get through each contraction, and I just love empowering women to allow their bodies to do just that. I would love the opportunity to serve you and your growing family as you bring your sweet babe into the world šŸ¤

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.
