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.

We had an amazing experience with The Doula Fource! I truly can’t say enough good things about our birth doula, Chvana. From the very beginning, she was reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly kind. She made us feel supported and confident throughout the entire process. When my birth plan unexpectedly changed and I had to be induced, Chvana came to the hospital as soon as I called. Her calm presence, encouragement, and unwavering support became the backbone of my labor experience. Thanks to her guidance and reassurance, I was able to achieve my dream of having an unmedicated birth despite the unexpected induction. She advocated for us, helped me stay focused through every stage of labor, and gave both my partner and me the confidence we needed during such an important moment. We are so grateful to Chvana and The Doula Fource for helping make the birth of our babygirl such a positive and empowering experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Doula Fource to any expecting family looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated doulas.

Rachael provided exceptional support and care throughout my experience, and I will definitely choose her for all future births. As a first-time mother planning an at-home birth, I appreciated her presence during my 42-hour labor, during which she remained by my side the entire time, even while pregnant herself. Rachael took the time to build a meaningful connection with me throughout my pregnancy, including following up with visits to check on us after the birth. As my due date approached, she ensured consistent communication and support. Rachael is one of the most compassionate, attentive, and knowledgeable professionals I have ever known. When my baby needed assistance repositioning herself, she tried every possible method she knew. She also took the time to explain medical information, options, and potential outcomes to me, which was invaluable. I genuinely believe that without Rachael’s presence, I would have become overwhelmed. Her calm demeanor and unwavering support made all the difference, and I am very grateful for her. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring and experienced birth professional

Amazing Support – A True Blessing! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joanna Guzman. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. She provided not only expert knowledge and guidance but also incredible emotional support throughout my pregnancy, labor journey. During my delivery, Joanna was my rock—calm, reassuring, and always one step ahead, anticipating my needs before I even voiced them.

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.

For someone as neurotic as me, Alexa helped make my birthing process sooooo much better. Alexa listened with intention and care, validating every single one of my concerns and quirks with warmth and professionalism. She honored my birth plan with immaculate precision (down to every little detail I had mapped out) and still managed to create a nurturing, peaceful, and empowering space that helped me feel safe, supported, and seen. Alexa brought both calm and confidence into the delivery room. Her presence is so grounding and calm! Which is exactly what I needed (and she knew). I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who blends knowledge with soulful, heart-centered support, Alexa is a perfect doula for you.

Hi, I’m Payton I’m a full spectrum doula who supports families through fertility, birth, postpartum, abortion, and loss. My heart work is helping women step into their innate power and knowledge so they can birth confidently and autonomously. In postpartum, I find joy in nurturing and nourishing mama so she can focus on healing and rediscovering herself. My goal is to bring back community care, traditional healing practices, and ancient wisdom.

Recent review

We were so fortunate to have Payton with us during our triplet girls’ first year of life. She began as our overnight doula when they were newborns and later transitioned into their full-time nanny while we worked. Caring for three babies at once is no small task, yet Payton handled it with consistency, dependability, and so much love. She has a calm, soft-spoken presence that was incredibly comforting in those early months. Her experience with newborns truly stood out as she seemed to know exactly what each baby needed and provided the highest level of care. Beyond caring for the girls, she also kept our kitchen tidy and made sure supplies were always stocked, which lifted a huge weight off our shoulders as new parents. What stood out most was the joy Payton clearly took in caring for the girls, and how much they adored her in return. The bond she formed with them was so special, and we always felt complete peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. We are deeply grateful for her support during such an important season of our lives and couldn’t recommend her more highly.
