Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in West Haven, CT

Becoming a mother has shaped not only who I am—but also how I support others. I’ve experienced birth in many forms: a hospital birth with medical interventions, a hospital birth without medication, and finally, a peaceful home birth. Each one was powerful, unique, and taught me something new about strength, surrender, and support. My journey sparked a passion for supporting women during this incredibly personal and transformative time. I became a doula because I believe every mother deserves to feel seen, supported, and truly heard. My work is rooted in empathy and a deep respect for each person’s unique experience. I offer care that meets you where you are—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether it’s helping you prepare, offering reassurance, or simply holding space, I’m here to support you in making this journey your own.

As someone who grew up in the vibrant, ethnically diverse landscape of Queens, New York, and experienced holding space for life’s deepest thresholds early on—from supporting a birth at age 12 and educating my peers on body literacy, to navigating the loss of my mother while overcoming my own reproductive health challenges to naturally birth my three children— I’m on a mission to help individuals, partners, and families navigate life’s pivotal beginnings, endings, identity shifts, and relational transitions with confidence, emotional safety, and deep self-sovereignty. To do this, I bridge full-spectrum doula care, conscious intimacy and relational coaching, custom ceremonial rites, and energetic mapping... to stand beside you as an unshakeable guide and doula throughout life's most transformational moments.

**Please note, all my reviews are available on DoulaMatch.Net and my website linked at the bottom of this page** :) As a birth + postpartum doula, childbirth educator, infant-feeding + lactation specialist, and IBCLC in training, Andreina has served the growing families of Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey since 2014. Her passion for birth work, expectant families, and newborns has been prevalent since she was a child- watching television series like TLC’s A Baby Story, which chronicled different birthing experiences throughout the United States. It was this initial peek into the sphere of birth in America that made Andreina aware of the disconnection that society had to an event so preternatural and fundamentally inherent such as birth. In her pursuit of restoring the sense of confidence and capacity in all birthing people, Andreina trained under renowned DONA International Doula trainer Rina Rios, and was subsequently selected to join the year-long Manhattan Birth training and mentorship program, led by doula turned home birth midwife, Tanya Wills CNM. Learning under these knowledgeable and influential women, Andreina gained invaluable knowledge that complemented her natural passion and innate skills in supporting expecting and newly postpartum individuals. Such skills and passion were further honed during Andreina’s own 72 hour home birth experience where she and her husband welcomed their son in 2022. With a bachelor of science from Iona University and five years of experience as a skilled pediatric phlebotomist, Andreina’s approach to childbirth, lactation, and postpartum melds the best of western medicine with the best of tried and true holistic care for all of her clients.

My name is Fable Rodgers-Kurilenko and i've been a practicing Postpartum Doula(and occasional Birth Doula) for nearly two years after a long history with Nannying and being a Daycare teacher. I became a Doula because I longed to become more connected to families and mothers but within the Daycare setting due to conflicts of interest, was un able to do so. I had been interested in doula work since my early teens. My mother even bought me birth books in high school! That's when I left the daycare setting (returning to nannying for a time while I was in school) and got my doula certification. Later that year I began practicing first in births, then I found that my true love was postpartum. Now I am a mother myself as of last year and can truly understand the importance of postpartum care. My husband and I could not have survived the newborn stage without the help of family, friends (and a doula) and it is such a joy getting to support Mothers and Fathers through the most vulnerable time is their lives.

I support families through pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period with compassion, presence, and respect. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel heard, informed, and supported during one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. Clients can expect calm, consistent, and judgment-free care from me. I focus on emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and advocacy, while honoring each family’s values, preferences, and choices. I value open communication and partnership, and I ask the same in return so we can build trust and work together effectively. I chose birth work because supporting people during such an intimate and powerful life moment feels deeply meaningful to me. The greatest reward of this work is witnessing families grow in confidence, feel empowered in their decisions, and leave the experience feeling supported rather than overwhelmed. Outside of doula work, I’m a mom and sister who prioritizes self-care, spirituality, and holistic wellness. I enjoy working with herbs, nurturing my own healing practices, and staying grounded so I can show up fully and present for the families I serve.

My name is Polina Westcott. I am a birth doula serving New Haven, Middlesex, Hartford and Litchfield counties. I believe that women's bodies are built to birth, and I work with mamas to help them achieve the best possible outcomes in their birth experience. I believe that while medical interventions are sometimes necessary and can be life-saving, they are often overused. Since having my two boys (both home births) I have become obsessed with all things birth. I have a podcast about pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenting. I love helping mamas in any way I can to have a great experience in their journey into and through motherhood.

Although I didn’t know it then, my journey towards becoming a doula began nearly 15 years ago with the birth of my first child. My labor and birth experience was far from empowering and while I was overjoyed to have my son, I always wished things had gone differently- that I had been listened to when I tried to assert myself, that I had been given alternative pain management options when I said I didn’t want an epidural, that the nurses and doctors had explained what they were doing and given me choices before just going ahead and doing it. I always wished that I had felt more in control in that delivery room. Flash forward 14 years to the birth of my second child, and things went exactly as I could have hoped for largely in part due to the team of amazing people I chose to surround myself with. I switched to a Midwife group that took the time to listen to me and honor all of my wishes; I chose a birthing center where I knew I would have plenty of options, but still have the safety and security of a hospital and NICU nearby should something go wrong; and I hired my doula! She made me feel safe, secure, listened to, and protected. She was there as my advocate (though I never had to use her as such because my Midwife was so amazing), she was there as a shoulder to lean on, and she made sure my wife and I had all that we needed during my labor and the birth of my daughter. Between kiddo number one and kiddo number two, a lot happened- 14 years worth of happenings! During that time in-between, I owned and operated Bloom Yoga Fitness Studios in Southington, CT. I taught thousands of hours of yoga- hundreds of them to pregnant clients. And I also became a Licensed Massage Therapist certified in Pregnancy Massage. My personal birth experiences, my decade of yoga teaching, my time as a massage therapist all led me to where I am today. I am now a Birth Doula working with clients in Hartford, New Haven and Middlesex counties. I still teach yoga and perform massage and you’ll see many of my doula offerings include yoga, meditation, and massage. I am passionate about birthing people making informed choices that feel right for them and it’s an honor to standby my clients as they take the amazing journey that is labor and birth.
