I cannot recommend my doula, Krissa Robert, enough. She was truly incredible and fit right into our beautiful chaos like she had always been part of our family. From the very beginning, she not only supported me but also took the time to teach my husband exactly how to help and comfort me through labor, which made such a huge difference in my experience. She came prepared with so many thoughtful tools and comfort items that helped me through each stage, and she also shared helpful ideas ahead of time so I could feel confident and ready. Throughout the entire birth, she stayed right by my side, reassuring me, encouraging me, and grounding me when I needed it most. Honestly, I don’t think I could have done it without her. Because of the care, strength, and love she poured into one of the most important moments of my life, she will forever be a part of our family.

At Rooted in Care, we believe families deserve honest information, steady support, and the space to make decisions that truly align with their values. We understand that navigating pregnancy and birth can feel complex, especially within healthcare systems that don’t always leave room for meaningful conversation or clarity. Our role as doulas is to walk alongside you with calm, knowledgeable support. We provide evidence-based information, emotional reassurance, and practical comfort so you feel confident in your choices—whether you are planning a hospital birth, navigating medical complexities, or exploring alternative care options. We believe in balance. Rooted in Care supports collaboration with medical providers while also centering your right to informed consent and respectful care. We don’t approach birth from fear or from blind trust, but from understanding—helping you feel grounded, prepared, and supported through each stage of the process. Families often choose Rooted in Care when they want a doula who listens closely, communicates clearly, and remains steady in moments that feel uncertain. We are committed to showing up with integrity, presence, and compassion before, during, and after birth. Rooted in Care offers a hybrid program to be more flexible to all moms, no matter where you live! A hybrid doula care program blends virtual support with in-person elements (where possible) to support moms through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period — especially useful for out-of-state moms who can’t have a doula physically present for all phases of care. Virtual (Online) Support This is done through: Video calls (Zoom/FaceTime) for education and planning Phone/text support for encouragement and questions Remote labor support where the doula coaches you and your support partner in real time during early labor Education sessions on pregnancy, birth plans, comfort measures, and postpartum topics Virtual doulas help with birth planning, emotional support, and postpartum adjustment through screens, messaging, and scheduled calls. In-Person Support (When Safe/Possible) In-person visits during and after birth Hands-on postpartum help if the doula travels or partners with local doulas (This depends on the provider’s location and travel policies.)

Hi, I’m Angelique — a birth doula, childcare professional, and mama with a deep passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I believe birth is one of the most transformative seasons in a woman’s life, and every mother deserves to feel heard, informed, supported, and cared for throughout the journey. My role as your doula is to provide calm, compassionate, judgment-free support while helping you feel confident in your choices and connected to your birth experience. My philosophy centers around education, advocacy, emotional support, and creating a peaceful environment where families can feel safe and empowered. Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, cesarean, hospital birth, or home birth, I believe there is no “one right way” to give birth — only the way that feels right for you. I support parents by offering evidence-based education, comfort measures, encouragement, partner support, and a grounding presence throughout labor and postpartum. I value gentle, family-centered care and strive to help parents enter this new chapter feeling strengthened, supported, and deeply seen.

Angelique is amazing. The amount of support during my postpartum journey has been phenomenal! The prayers, the amount of phone calls I’ve made constantly since my daughter is my first child and all of the information given has made me at ease in my mind and heart. She is super knowledgeable on ALL things baby and postpartum. She made time to come visit me in person as well to make sure my wellbeing was in good shape! Thank you for everything!

Keeley was an amazing doula, and I would recommend her without hesitation. She is encouraging, calming, and supportive, providing continuous emotional and physical support throughout labor. She gives it to you straight, advocates for your wishes, and adapts when plans change. She went above and beyond both prenatally and postpartum, checking in regularly to make sure everything was going well. Faith is a big part of who she is, and her presence brought a sense of peace and calm to the delivery room. My husband and I loved having Keeley as our doula, and we are so grateful she was part of our birth experience. Thank you, Keeley, for being there through the long hours as we welcomed our baby into the world.

My name is Miriam and I first met Hope in our Intro to Social Work class
in Spring of 2010. Just from what she shared in class and with me, and 
how she lived her life, the things she was passionate about, and the 
people she spoke up for, I sensed that I could trust her. I am now a
 Licensed Clinical Social Worker and confidently affirm that Hope is a 
huge asset to any support team because her heart and soul are all in
 no matter what she does. She believes in people and calls out their
 strengths even when they can’t see it. Hope offered to be part of my birth team with my first daughter and I 
happily said yes! I was in early labor for 3 days and was scheduled to
be induced on a Saturday (January 12, 2018). I came to the hospital
 that day in fear of what induction could mean. Would things just
snowball? Would I need to end up having a C-section?
Contractions/early labor hard started Wednesday and Hope helped
 me get through those hard 3 days before my baby arrived.
Contractions would get worse at night, and became so unbearable 
that I could not sleep. I was going on 3 days of little to no sleep and
Hope would stay up with me, coach me through contractions, coach 
me on what to do - get on the ball, take a warm bath, breathe. During the hardest time for me mentally she was there coaching me
 through it. On the day of delivery my water was supposed to be
broken, but it broke on its own as I was getting on the bed for my OB to
 do it. I labored all day and Pitocin was introduced later in the evening
 when I was not advancing. I was tired and we said yes. At this point I
 had been laboring for 4 days and I wanted her to come. Hope knew
 what to do. She helped create a calm atmosphere in our room. We
 had calming essential oils going, music that meant something to me,
 she was there coaching me through breaths, applying pressure on my
back that was the best relief I could ask for with back labor, rubbed my
 arms through the contractions and at times sensed what I needed 
without me having to ask mid contraction. At one point I started trembling when lying on the bed with a peanut
ball between my legs. Hope stayed close and spoke calmly to me. It
helped me stay calm and focus on contractions even though my body
 was shaking uncontrollably. My baby arrived later on, but Hope stayed
 through all of it. She was the support person I needed in that room.
When our baby came out she even snapped photos which I treasure
 dearly. Hope went above and beyond to make me feel at peace and
 empowered to have my baby on my own terms. Our second daughter Camila was born during the pandemic (August
22, 2020). Hope had volunteered her time to be there again with my
 second baby as the faithful friend she is. Then COVID restrictions came
 and we could have no one in our room. My mind was feeling
overwhelmed. The day I knew she was coming because my
 contractions started feeling painful while nursing my toddler. I was
 getting aggravated just nursing her and knew something was going to
 happen today. We went to the hospital with the intention of staying 
there and having the baby. I was not going to do multiple days of labor
 again. Camila came that day 6 hours after I went to the hospital. During those 6 hours and before, Hope had given us her care package
 with affirmations, her birth ball and all the necessities that helped me
 last time. I birthed with my husband and he was the best support 
person, but it didn’t feel the same this time. I didn’t have my mom. I
didn’t have Hope. Hope added such a calming and supportive
 presence the previous time. She advocated for what I needed and I
 was missing that. She anticipated what I needed and it was a relief to
 not have to think and ask for those things during contractions. This time
 it was different. Hope couldn’t be in the room and I was feeling that. Contractions felt
 harder. I felt tense. I felt like I couldn’t concentrate. I had this mental
block because my other support people I felt I really needed weren’t
 here. I would tense my body and anticipate each contraction with fear.
Previously I was in my zone because I knew all my people had my back. I
 needed all of them and not having them physically there made me feel
 less than peaceful. Towards the end I had my husband Richard call Hope and she talked
 me through contractions and lifted my spirit. She gave me a pep talk
 and I don’t know what she said, but it helped me get in the mindset to
 have this baby. I went from fear to determination after talking to Hope.
Our baby was born less than an hour later, and I give so much credit to
Hope for mentally helping me through a really hard experience. Although my labor was way shorter, it felt more painful and my mindset
 made all the difference. While I was stuck in fear it felt more painful. After
 talking to Hope, I knew what I needed to do and something shifted. I will
forever be grateful for her and the peace she brings to a delivery room
 in person and virtually. My girls are here and we’re all healthy, and
 Hope had lots to do with that. Miriam Hernandez, LCSW Licensed Clinical Social Worker

5 stars is not enough of a rating for Keeley and Be Still Doula Services. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met in my life. I immediately connected with her and felt seen during every conversation that I had with her. She supported my decisions regarding my birth plans while also providing me with resources and options. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that was looking for a doula. She has a special gift from God to support women during a time that literally changes their lives. For our specific birth story, it didn't go at all as planned or hoped but Keeley was there through the whole process and provided positive and uplifting support to not only me but my whole family, including my daughter. I cannot say enough good things about her.
