Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Waltham, MA

I’m a Certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with more than a decade of experience caring for babies and children. There is so much information and noise surrounding new parenthood, and I love helping families sort through it all and figure out what actually makes sense for them. I don’t believe there is one right way to feed a baby, get through the night, set up a home, or build a family life. I look at your family, your priorities, your resources, your home, and your lifestyle to help anticipate what you might need and find solutions that fit. I offer experience, practical support, and clarity to help you figure out what works for your family. My goal is to instill confidence, support rest, and help your family find its own way forward.

Hi! I’m Ashley. I’m a DONA Certified Birth Doula & Advanced VBAC Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, owner of Saltwater Doula, and an educator and agency coordinator at the Relief Doula Agency based out of Relief Parenting Respite and Resource Center in Hampton, NH. I am also the lucky mom of two sweet and salty girls! I offer prenatal, birth, postpartum, and lactation services to families in Portsmouth, Dover, Exeter, Manchester and other areas throughout the seacoast and southern New Hampshire. I provide support for clients of all kinds. This includes clients who wish to go unmedicated or are planning on an epidural, those with scheduled c-sections or who are preparing for a VBAC. I am there for you whether you are planning to birth at a hospital, at home, or at a local birth center. As your birth doula, my goal is to support you (without bias or judgement) in any way you may need throughout your pregnancy, labor, and the delicate days of the 4th trimester. I’m so glad you’ve made your way here and are in search of doula support!

Hi, I’m Gabby and I would love to help you on this adventure of parenthood. I am following the footsteps of my aunt who is a doula and has dedicated her life to new mothers. I have a bachelors in healthcare administration with a focus on women’s health. I have worked with the public for over 10 years. I was a lifeguard for 6 years and that transitioned to the healthcare field which I have been in for the last 5 years. I have always found ways to integrate myself in the pregnancy world, I have worked on labor and delivery units in hospitals, and in an OB/GYN clinic. I have helped friends and family postpartum with their new bundles of joy adapt to this new life. I would love to help you too. I have learned tips and tricks through my experience in the pregnancy world and would love to share them with you. I believe knowledge is strength, and I am here to equip you with the best knowledge I have so you have confidence to succeed in this new journey in your life.

I support families in the weeks and months after baby arrives. In person, virtually, all across Hampton and the surrounding NH towns, southern Maine, and the North Shore of MA. Most nights I'm in your home while you sleep. I handle the feeds, the diaper changes, the 3am stuff, so you can actually rest instead of running on empty. Daytime shifts look different depending on what you need that day. Some families want a hand with the baby. Some want help around the house. Some just want someone there who knows what they're doing. I used to get tangled up in the idea that paid support wasn't as real as a village showing up for free, but I don't anymore. When I was in it myself, some of the people who showed up were paid and some weren't. In the moment, I didn't care which was which. I was just glad someone was there. What matters is whether the person in your house is actually present with you, not just going through the motions. That's what I try to be.

Hi all! My name is Mia DePaolis and I am a birth doula and certified babywearing educator based out of Boston, MA. I believe that birth is an aspect of life where we should not have to brave it alone.

Channeling the inner strength to process and work through the beautiful challenge of birth is the key to an unmedicated birth and this is where I come into play! I use my experience as an athlete, nutrition coach, mentor, mother, and birth worker combined together to help you find your strength and support you in the birth you deserve.

Hi! My name is Eleanor and I'm a birth doula excited to support you. I'm passionate about patient advocacy, making sure your needs are heard, and providing evidence-based information and support throughout pregnancy and labor.

Being a nanny, especially one who works with infants, is a privilege that I do not take lightly and I appreciate the chance to support families during this big change. Across my almost 10-year career, I have worked full-time in a daycare center and six private homes, primarily with newborns and toddlers. I find joy in creating spaces that engage my little ones, planning activities that incorporate all areas of children's development, and seeing the outcomes of those efforts. Outside of the traditional nanny role, I received my birth and post-partum certifications from DONA International in 2021. Since then, I have attended two births and continue to volunteer assisting families in need of support. In 2023 I completed my Newborn Care Specialist training via Newborn Care Solutions to deepen my understanding of newborns, especially those born prematurely and with additional medical needs

I am committed to creating safe, nurturing environments that honor each family’s values and choices, ensuring that every birth experience is positive and transformative.

As a doula, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through a wide variety of birth experiences, including inductions, unmedicated and medicated births, cesarean births, VBAC/TOLAC, and high-risk pregnancies. I especially enjoy working with Spanish-speaking families and helping bridge language and communication gaps so that they feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their care. My approach is warm, calm, educational, and judgment-free. I believe there is no single “right” way to give birth or navigate postpartum. My role is to help families understand their options, advocate for their preferences, and feel supported in the decisions that are right for them. In addition to my work as a birth and postpartum doula, I am currently furthering my education by completing certifications as a Newborn Care Specialist and Infant Sleep Consultant. I’m excited to continue expanding the support I can offer families beyond birth and into the newborn period, including newborn care, parental education, postpartum adjustment, and healthy sleep foundations. It is truly an honor to be welcomed into such an important and intimate chapter of a family’s life, and I strive to make every family I work with feel cared for, respected, and never alone in the process.
