We’re so grateful and appreciative for Stephanie when she was our night doula. Before the birth, Stephanie was communicative and supportive. She came to our house the first night we arrived home with our baby, and it made for the best transition ever! We originally planned for only 1 month with Stephanie, but we loved having her help so we asked her to stay for another month. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone who needs a night doula.

Hi, my name is Katelyn, and I’m a certified Full-Spectrum doula. I have experience supporting families through VBAC, high-risk pregnancies, and IVF journeys. I believe that every birth story is unique, and my role is to provide steady, compassionate support—emotionally, physically, and informationally—through each step of the process. My background includes working closely with clients navigating complex or medically supported births, and I’m deeply committed to creating a calm, empowering space where families feel safe, heard, and in control of their choices. Whether you’re preparing for a vaginal birth after cesarean, managing a high-risk pregnancy, welcoming a baby after fertility treatment, or have a generally "normal" pregnancy, I’m here to walk beside you with care and confidence. It’s an honor to support families during such a transformative time, and I’m grateful to be part of this work.

We are so grateful for our amazing doula! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and always made herself available to meet with us in person, which made a huge difference compared to virtual support. She answered all of our questions with patience and expertise, and guided us through choosing the right baby products, which was so helpful as first-time parents. When I was unexpectedly hospitalized for five weeks due to a pregnancy complication—placenta previa that later transformed into vasa previa—she went above and beyond to support us. She went to our home and packed my hospital bag, making sure I had everything I needed. She also helped us with buying a stroller after discovering that our original choice wasn’t compatible with our car seat, and even installed the car seat for us. Throughout my hospital stay, she visited me regularly, offering comfort and reassurance during a very difficult time. The birth ultimately resulted in a 1.5-hour C-section due to the vasa previa condition. She was there when I woke up, feeling extremely sick and overwhelmed, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her emotional and mental support for both me and my husband. Her presence and guidance made us feel supported and empowered throughout the entire process. In the postpartum period, she continued to be an incredible resource. She came to our home, offered advice on caring for our baby, and helped us install and learn how to use several products we had bought or received but had no idea how to use. Her hands-on support and practical guidance made a world of difference as we adjusted to life with our newborn. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better doula. She was our guardian angel, and we are so grateful she came into our lives. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care and support during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

We started working with Jay when our son was 8 weeks old and struggling with very fragmented sleep, only managing 2–3 hour stretches at night. From the very beginning, Jay brought a calm, nurturing presence into our home and made an incredible difference. Within a short time, our son was sleeping 5–6 hour stretches, and we were finally able to rest and recover. Jay was not only incredibly sweet and gentle with him, but also deeply knowledgeable and thoughtful in her approach. She took the time to teach my husband and me practical, evidence-based strategies to support his sleep—both at night and during naps—and empowered us with tools we still use today. She was wonderfully communicative, flexible with our schedule, and always attuned to our baby’s unique needs and temperament. One of my favorite memories from that time was the night our son woke up just before Jay arrived for her shift. When she took him in her arms, he glanced over her shoulder at us and gave us the biggest smile as she walked away with him to the nursery—which was so shocking because he always wants us for bedtime. In that moment, we knew he truly loved her and felt completely safe and comforted in her care. It’s such a good feeling as parents to know your baby is in hands they trust and adore. Her presence brought such peace and reassurance during a vulnerable and exhausting phase of new parenthood. Jay didn’t just help our baby sleep—she helped us feel more confident, supported, and cared for as a family. We’re endlessly grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any new parents seeking gentle, knowledgeable, and compassionate support.

Patient. Kind. Loving. Affirming. The Best Doula There Is. I was referred to Dawneshia by my hairstylist during my first pregnancy. While I was only 8 weeks pregnant, we began to talk about my baby as if they were here. She gave me tips for a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Unfortunately, at 10 weeks, I miscarried. Dawneisha provided support during this loss that I will never forget. She prayed with me and provided self-help tips. Subsequently, with her support, I've had two successful deliveries. She is more than a Doula but a family friend.

Rosangela was a night doula for my two daughters. She took care of them for almost 3 months each. Rosangela has a gentle motherly nature that is soothing and helpful for me as a first time mom and during the transition from 1 to 2. She is extremely knowledgeable on newborn sleep schedules, milestones, breastfeeding and nursing. Rosangela took detailed notes of wake window, sleep durations, feeding times and diaper changes. She helps us establish a schedule and night time routine. Rosangela would point out things to our attention before our pediatrician did. Rosangela shares her experience while also giving room for us to make our own judgement and decisions as the parents. I am so glad I invested in her support during those tender and trying days.

I couldn't have done it without her! While I was pregnant, especially as my due date approached, Mama T checked in on me more than my family. We talked about my birth plan, options, sounds, snacks, scents, and what to expect. I had complete trust in her. Her calm demeanor had me entering into my labor with confidence. During labor, she stayed present with me and went through each contraction reminding me it was only a minute...I could do it! During the postpartum period, she was essential as well. I didn't have family close so see continued to check on me and the baby, coaching me through new parent jitters. I highly recommend Therese and really feel I couldn't have done it without her.
