I am passionate in assisting women as a doula and placenta encapsulation preparer. Birth work is sacred and my role is to empower women, to help them feel safe, seen, and understood. Each birth is unique and the birth experience is an expression of that uniqueness.

Eliza has been my doula for my 3 children and she will be my doula for my current pregnancy as well. Through each of my labor/deliveries she has always been very attentive to my needs both physically and emotionally. I keep her on with every baby because she really empowers me through love and guidance and emphasizes my strength and capabilities of bringing my babies into this world! She is a very caring and nurturing soul who makes you feel very entrusted in her care.

Bri was such an amazing asset to my birthing team. She made me feel so comfortable and heard throughout my pregnancy! During delivery, she was there to help manage my pain and take a few pictures as I labored and after birth. She is so caring and attentive. I would recommend her to anyone I know looking for doula services!

Having worked with Rachel multiple times as a colleague, I can genuinely say that she is one of the calmest, kindest souls I've met. She is so bubbly and truly excited for every single one of her clients and meets them as friends from day one. She sees herself as the big sister to every mama, and treats the partners with such love and encourages participation. Seeing her with those that have struggled with infertility and welcoming their rainbow always makes me tear up. She truly cares for those she takes on. Her goal is making sure that she never replaces the father and creates a team with all involved. Anyone would be fortunate to have Rachel on their team.

Hi, I’m Amanda Carlton! I live in Mesa, Arizona with my husband and our two young boys. I’ve always had two passions: child development and aviation. I earned my degree in Child Development from California State University, Chico, and later pursued a career as a commercial pilot. While they may seem like total opposites, both fields bring out the curious, research-driven side of me—I love understanding how things work, whether it’s the science of aerodynamics or the developmental journey of a child. When I became a mom, I quickly realized how valuable my child development background was—but even with that, I struggled with my first son’s sleep. Frequent night wakings, short naps, and total exhaustion left me feeling lost. We eventually worked with a pediatric sleep consultant, and by night three, my son was sleeping through the night. The transformation was life-changing—we went from surviving to truly thriving. That experience inspired me to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant myself. Now, I have the privilege of helping other families find the peace and rest they deserve. My approach is fully customized—because I know there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to sleep. I tailor each plan to the individual child and family, and I don’t just hand you a plan and disappear. I’m with you every step of the way to guide, support, and adjust as needed—until sleep is no longer a stressor in your home. Let’s get your family from surviving to thriving.

Amanda assisted us in sleep training my now 8 month old baby boy. She was there the whole time answering all my frantic text messages and giving me support when I needed it most. I hit my rock bottom, worn out and sleep deprived navigating these waters but, what made it worth it, was knowing Amanda was by my side. I was worried that we weren't going to get there as he was very persistent and the nursing habit was difficult to break. However, Amanda walked me through it and assured me that it was okay and his protesting will end....and it did. Thank you for the support. I am really glad I reached out as I am now managing my two under two with dad out of town. I couldn't do it without my sleep. Thank you for reminding me what 8 hours of solid sleep can do for you! Highly recommend!
