Kasha or Kashie as my 4 year old affectionately calls her was the most amazing doula even before I conceived. Every question I had any concerns or info I needed she found the answers or found someone who could help me find the answers. I never felt judged for the choices I made concerning my pregnancy or baby. During labor she was there by my side making sure I was taken care of and her postpartum care to me is unbelievable! We will for sure be using our wholesome doula again.

I'm Megan Robert (row-BERT), an Infant & Toddler Sleep Consultant and owner of After the Stork. My background as a former Postpartum Doula, Au Pair, and Nanny has provided me with a well-rounded perspective on family dynamics and child development. This experience allows me to focus on both the practical aspects of infant care and the emotional journey of parenthood. While it's incredibly rewarding to see a child achieve quality sleep and its benefits, the most fulfilling part of my work is witnessing the transformation of a parent. I often meet individuals during some of the most raw and vulnerable times in their lives, filled with anxiety and self-doubt. I am privileged to be welcomed into a family at such a time and often witnessing the growth of confidence and assurance. Recognizing that my clients are people with identities beyond parenting, I also aim to support and encourage them as whole individuals. It’s a bonus when my services help parents find balance, allowing them to enjoy date nights, quality time with friends, and self-care.

In addition to my doula practice, I have completed my formal midwifery education and continue to work within a home birth midwifery practice while preparing for the national midwife certification examination through the National Association of Registered Midwives. This allows me to offer families strong clinical insight alongside continuous emotional and practical support. I am especially passionate about supporting families who desire informed, empowered births and attentive postpartum care. My goal is to help clients feel confident, seen, and supported throughout one of the most transformative seasons of their lives.

Starr is so much more than a birth doula! She is like family. We met before I had my baby and mentioned I wanted to get my hair braided before I went into labor and she said she's a licensed cosmetologist too, so I asked her to braid my hair at our next appointment and she did not disappoint! Then at the birth she was so knowledgeable and understanding. Me and my family definitely felt safe and secure with her by our side.

I am Isamarys Medina Rivera, a birth and postpartum doula. I was living in Puerto Rico, until my age of 21. I am the youngest daughter of a family of four, composed of a geriatric nurse mom, one older sister and a brick mason dad. Since the beginning of my life, I’ve always had a passion for a career in maternity fields. When I moved to Virginia, I decided that it was time to embrace that passion, especially being surrounded by Hispanic moms who feel vulnerable, because of the language barrier, as well as overwhelming emotions. My desire to become a support for women grows every time I meet single moms and Hispanic families. The best way for me to become that support was to become a Doula. Inspired and motivated by this passion, I took the Birth and Postpartum Doula training with DONA International. After that I created my business, Amarys Doula, Child of the moon. As a Hispanic military wife, I know how hard can be. And by experience, I know how hard it can be to give birth and have a healthy postpartum, when your military partner is not around. That is why I am always looking to assist military families. After I took the training for Birth and Postpartum Doula, I added a placenta encapsulation services, because I believe it is important for my clients to be able to benefit from their own nutrients available in their placenta, such as iron, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, to help them regain their strength and give them a piece of art that their bodies bodies created. After my first postpartum experience, mature moms have a special place in my heart, and it will be more than an honor serve them. I help my birth and postpartum clients with respect, love, and I give them all the evidence based information possible. It is my goal that they feel confident and empowered during labor and postpartum. I will be there to help them adjust to this new life, including working with their body, using services such as Yoni steaming. I serve in the Hampton Roads area and reside in Norfolk. If you have any question do not hesitate to contact me. I speak Spanish natively, and also speak English

While studying for my BS degree I worked in an infant/toddler room at a local daycare. I loved going to work each and every day! I then became a nanny for one of their clients for over two years. I am now a mom of two beautiful children who I love more than anything. My daughter developed some severe medical conditions at a very early age so I have been first aid and CPR certified since she was a baby. I am comfortable watching children with type 1 diabetes, epilepsy, ADHD, and allergies. I would love to provide a caring, supportive, safe environment for your child while you get some much needed sleep! I am current on my first aid/CPR training. and my schedule is also very flexible.
