My name is Caroline and I am a certified birth doula serving Lakeland, Florida. I am passionate about providing calm, compassionate, inclusive support to pregnant people before, during, and after birth by providing information and resources, as well as emotional and physical support. My goals are to help you seek out evidence based information, preparing you to be an empowered decision maker; offer encouragement to advocate for yourself, no matter what type of birth you choose; utilize different tools and resources to support you physically in labor; and lastly, but most importantly, hold space for you. I believe in collaboration with my local birth community to best support my clients by having access to referrals, recommendations, and additional resources. A little about me: I am married to my high school sweetheart and we welcomed our first baby girl to our family in 2023. When I am not at births, I am working at the Montessori School as a part time sub, caring for my daughter, or enjoying quality time with my family.

I am a certified postpartum and infant care doula, childbirth educator, certified lactation counselor and a placenta encapsulation specialist. I am passionate about nurturing parents through the tender weeks after birth. I am the mother of 3 beautiful children and through that experience my passion for doula work was ignited. I love to educate parents-to-be on childbirth and all things newborn care before baby arrives and then to be in the home with those families once baby is born. I offer support through listening, education, light housekeeping, sibling care, breastfeeding support and more.

Motherhood it’s simply fascinating. All of my life I’ve been intrigued by it, and after having my first five children I decided to begin this journey as a Doula - and we have since added two more babies to our bunch. It is an honor and privilege to be the laboring mama‘s support as she transitions into the season of motherhood. Through my own experience, as well as experience of the women in my life, I have learned how very different many women can react to labor. There are lots of strategies and techniques to get through each contraction, and I just love empowering women to allow their bodies to do just that. I would love the opportunity to serve you and your growing family as you bring your sweet babe into the world 🤍

Hey there! My name is Brittany aka Bejay. I am a married mother of five children ranging from 16 years old to 18 months old. I am located in Tampa, Florida serving in the Hillsborough county and surrounding areas. I am currently a Birth & Postpartum & infant care doula! When I was 18 years old I attending nursing school. Labor and delivery was my FAVORITE unit but I knew that, that was not the way I wanted to help birthing people. As my own family grew my desire to have an out of hospital birth increased. With my fourth and fifth pregnancies I was able to fulfil those desires with my sister acting as my doula. With the level of care I received I knew that being a birth worker was where I could help! My heart is to provide help to all families alike. Walking, standing, or squatting (LOL) along side them on their beautiful journey! No birth is the exact same so I strive to be not only supportive but inclusive as well! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wild and crazy family!

My name is Allison and I am your Unconquered Mama. I am a wife and mother to two beautiful little girls. It was during my first pregnancy that I started to have a desire to get into birth work. I noticed right away that pregnant and postpartum Mamas needed much more support than they were getting. Immediately after my traumatic pregnancy and postpartum period with my youngest daughter I knew it was time for me to step into a new role; so I became a Doula and Breastfeeding Educator so that no other Mama would have to go through the struggles that I went through. I want to help every Mama feel the way I did when I broke through my struggles and emerged UNCONQUERED!

Soy una Puertorriqueña que busca orientar y educar a la mujer embarazada y a su acompañante en cuanto al embarazo, parto, nacimiento y posparto. Reconociendo que el embarazo y el parto son un proceso natural y fisiologico en el cual la mujer y su bebe son los protagonistas. Sin embargo, la sociedad actual en la que vivimos ha establecido un 'Sistema' que le impone a la mujer procedimientos y protocolos rutinarios quitandole la confianza en ella misma e interfiriendo con la naturaleza del proceso. Actualmente existe un problema serio de salud publica y falta de recursos educativos llevando a una mayor incidencia de inducciones y cesareas. Me dirijo a la población Hispana con el proposito de romper los mitos y tabues en nuestra cultura Latina. Orientado, guiando, y educando a la mujer y su acompañante brindando las herramientas necesarias para que pueda tomar decisiones informadas en cuanto a su proceso. Creando y buscando la humanzacion de un parto respetado y comprometiendome con la Familia a ofrecer un servicio satisfactorio y de excelencia. Mi mision, es que la mujer sea la protagonista de su proceso, que sea ella quien tome las decisiones y que posea un grato recuerdo de esa maravillosa experiencia.

As a seasoned doula, birth advocate, and mother of nine children — six boys and a set of triplet girls — I bring a rare blend of clinical knowledge, lived experience, and intuitive understanding to every family I serve. My journey through nine pregnancies, each with its own lessons and challenges, has shaped the way I support mothers today. I know the emotional terrain of pregnancy, the physical demands of labor, and the sacred transformation that happens when a new life enters the world. My work is rooted in the belief that every mother deserves informed, compassionate, and culturally grounded care. Over the years, I have supported families across a wide range of birth experiences, always centering their voices, their choices, and their dignity. My approach blends evidence‑based education with the kind of wisdom that only comes from walking the path myself many times over. A core part of my philosophy is the importance of consistent, proactive prenatal care. I have seen firsthand how early support, education, and monitoring can reduce complications and lower the likelihood of medical inductions — especially those involving Pitocin. While Pitocin is a valuable medical tool when truly necessary, I help families understand how nurturing the body throughout pregnancy can support natural hormonal progression and increase the chances of spontaneous labor. My goal is to empower mothers with knowledge, confidence, and the tools they need to advocate for themselves long before labor begins. Through Royal Empress Doula Services, I serve families with a commitment to excellence, cultural sensitivity, and unwavering support. Whether I am guiding a first‑time mother, supporting a family through a high‑risk pregnancy, or helping a parent heal from a previous birth experience, I show up with the same steady presence that carried me through my own births. My mission is simple: to help families feel seen, supported, and strengthened — from the first prenatal visit to the first moments of life and beyond.
