I support, guide, and nurture birthing families so they can give birth naturally and with confidence. Birth is a beautiful and transformative experience. Having a happy and positive mindset can greatly enhance the process. It is important to surround yourself with supportive people, including a doula who can provide emotional and physical support. As you embark on this majestic journey, trust that your body knows what to do and allow yourself to fully embrace the dream of bringing new life into the world.

Hello all, I am a birth doula (DONA certified), placenta preparation specialist (WCPS certified), and childbirth educator (trained by ProDoula) serving the Western New York area. I also have a background in Biological Anthropology. I am passionate about using my cumulative knowledge to support and educate the pregnant & birthing people of my community, improving birth outcomes, and changing the narrative around childbirth. I've always been drawn to the non-clinical role of a doula, providing education with evidence-based information, supporting parents through pregnancy, labor, birth and beyond, and normalizing birth and breastfeeding in our culture. I strive to bring a calm, encouraging, non-judgmental presence into your birth space, along with a dash of humor.

Hello, my name is Isabel, and I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula based in Oakville. I support families in Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Brampton, Mississauga, and Toronto. I believe every family deserves to feel supported, informed, and confident throughout their journey into parenthood. My approach is compassionate, intuitive, and grounded in evidence-based care. I honor birth as a sacred and meaningful experience, and I aim to create a calm and supportive environment where parents feel safe, respected, and empowered to make choices that align with their values. My philosophy is to meet each family exactly where they are, offering non-judgmental support, clear information, and gentle guidance so you can navigate pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period with confidence.

I cannot recommend Isabel Nantaba enough as a birth and postpartum doula. From the moment we met her, she brought a sense of calm, confidence, and compassion that immediately put me at ease. During labor, Isabel provided unwavering support, intuitive guidance, and gentle encouragement, helping me feel empowered and informed every step of the way. Her care didn’t end after birth; she was a constant source of support during the postpartum period. She helped me navigate the early days with practical advice, emotional reassurance, and hands-on assistance, making the transition to parenthood so much smoother and less overwhelming. Isabel’s approach is both professional and deeply caring. She truly listens, adapts to your needs, and creates a nurturing environment for you and your family. Choosing Isabel as our doula was one of the best decisions we made, and I am so grateful for her presence during such a transformative time in our lives.

I've had the opportunity to see Keegan support families across several different contexts over the years, and it's hard to overstate how naturally they inhabit that role. Their way of caring for others is calm, attuned, and humble. Keegan brings a steadiness that shows up long before a baby arrives. They have a remarkable ability to sense what kind of support is most needed in a specific moment. This could be helping you settle into your breath, easing practical tasks around the home, or creating an atmosphere of grounded confidence for the family. Keegan's attention is both focused and expansive. They are deeply attuned to the person they are supporting, while also staying aware of everyone who is part of the experience - partners, grandparents, friends, or chosen family. They include others in ways that feel natural and respectful, helping each person feel useful, supported, and connected. What stands out most is the depth of Keegan's presence. They meet you with quiet reverence, responding to joy, exhaustion, uncertainty, and even moments of grief with composure and genuine care. Their sensitivity creates space for whatever unfolds, without losing warmth or steadiness. Those moving through pregnancy and the loved ones surrounding them will experience Keegan as a grounded, perceptive, and wholeheartedly present support. They will discover someone who truly delights in being of service - capable, steady, and deeply attuned to the needs of the moment.

My doula practice blends the art of holding space and the science of our awe-inspiring bodies. I am passionate about providing doula care that honours you, your family, and your birth. Everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and empowered during pregnancy, childbirth, and onwards into parenthood. Danielle's face, she has medium-length brown hair, blue eyes and glasses, and is smiling wide. I believe in the physiology of birth - that you, your body, and your baby instinctively know how to birth - and that you are the expert on your care. My goal is to help you feel educated about childbirth and all of your options, and confident and supported in your choices. I aim to create a safe and comfortable space for you to thrive in your birth and journey into new parenthood. Before I trained as a doula, I studied neurobiology for ten years. From my time as a scientist I bring curiosity, critical thinking, and a love of research rabbit holes. I am fascinated by all aspects of birth, from the biological mysteries to the diversity of global birth practices. I strive to understand the history that shapes modern birth culture, and to be informed on the best evidence-based practices in perinatal care.

I am a trained birth + postpartum doula. I am also a lactation counselor and health educator originally from NJ, via NYC! I am new to the Rochester Area—I've been primarily a lactation counselor and postpartum doula since 2020, and first got trained with Ancient Song Doula Services in 2018. I attended my first birth in 2018 after 3+ years of health education. My family is from the Dominican Republic, I am fluent in Spanish, and conversational in French after 14 years of studying and understand Brazilian Portuguese a fair amount! I have dedicated my life to birth education and doula work, and hope to one day be a nurse midwife. I have a public health degree, a food handlers license and am about to renew my liability insurance which covers all but home births. I am LGBT competent and have assisted primarily single parents both by choice and by circumstance. I hope to end the birth parent mortality crisis in my lifetime and am so proud to be a doula! I am accepting postpartum and education clients only between now (May 2025) and October 1 2025!

Jessica brought so much positivity and peace to my birth. From helping me feel mentally prepared ahead of time to cheering me on in the moment, she made me feel happy, confident, and cared for every step of the way. She honored all my choices and created a truly loving, supportive space - it was everything I hoped for. Choosing a doula is such an important decision, and I’m so grateful I trusted Jessica with one of the most meaningful moments of my life.

I was drawn to becoming a birth doula because I saw firsthand the difference that informed, loving support can make. Having gone through my own birth trauma, I realized that a little help goes a long way during this tender phase. I also have a passion for breastfeeding and lactation education. I love to support families that are latching, pumping, bottle feeding, donating, etc.

Anna was amazing & her pay what you can afford was a God send. She supported me through the end of pregnancy, as well as a stress free, smooth labor & delivery. She advocates very well for her clients and I don't think I could ever go to anyone else! She's also very good with baby at the Post Visit! Here's to May 2026!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support provided by Kayleigh throughout my pregnancy journey. From the moment we connected, Kayleigh exhibited a remarkable level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout every step of the way, Kayleigh was not just a doula but a true guardian of my well-being. She listened attentively to all my concerns, providing invaluable guidance and reassurance. Her depth of knowledge and experience in prenatal care was evident, as she addressed each of my worries with patience and understanding. What truly set Kayleigh apart was her unwavering dedication to ensuring my comfort and safety. Whether it was through informative discussions about childbirth options, practical advice on nutrition and exercise, or emotional support during moments of uncertainty, Kayleigh was there, offering her unwavering support.
