Ranee helped me give birth to my son a week ago. I began this pregnancy receiving prenatal care from a hospital local to me. During my time with the hospital, they made me feel scared about my birth due to my age, and history of high blood pressure in my first pregnancy. Each appointment was very short and I never felt like I mattered to the provider. The final straw of me leaving the medical model was the doctor pushing the rhogam shot on me even after I explained that my husband and I both have negative blood types so we don’t need the shot. The doctors reply was to ask me if I am sure the baby is my husbands and then pushed third trimester ultrasounds on me to see if my placenta was old, the fluid too little or the baby too big, none of which has evidence based benefit to get a late term ultrasound. I left my final appointment feeling insulted and that I wasn’t listened to. This is when I found Ranee. From the very beginning of our interaction, she gave me evidence based options and made me feel confident in my ability to birth my baby naturally. She made sure to monitor my blood pressure, levels in my blood and my glucose levels. Each prenatal appointment, she spoke to me as someone she cared about and was very thorough to look into my diet and water intake and solve problems before they develop. I enjoyed the hands on approach as she felt my baby’s position, could estimate the fluid levels and heard the heart beat of my son as he moved to ensure the placenta was working as it should. The one difficult part about this model of care is the need for the mother to be understanding of Ranee’s changing schedule. Ranee has clients in all different stages of care and when someone is dealing with pregnancy loss, giving birth or other emotional factors in their life, Ranee is there with them providing care. This is both a negative and a positive because it means when you are dealing with something difficult, she will be there for you too. When it came time that I was in labor, we were set up with everything we needed. My husband was able to make a beautiful sacred space with candle light, incense and Gregorian chants in the background. It was so beautiful and relaxing. When I was ready to give birth, Ranee was there helping me to relax and reassuring me that I could do it. I gave birth to my son in a birthing pool with my midwife standing by watching over me and providing hands on help as needed. Between the two models, I would choose to give birth at the house with Ranee standing by every time. I know if she tells me I need to transfer to the hospital it would be for good reason and not because my birth became inconvenient for her. The birth of my son is a moment I will remember forever with fondness.

My midwife story began with the home births of my own children. They inspired me to share the transformative experience of owning my birth, finding my own path, and becoming Me. I began my home birth midwifery journey through traditional apprenticeship, where I was more or less self taught. I embarked on a journey which took me halfway across the world to a charity birth clinic in the Philippines. Then I returned again to my mini-farm in Connecticut where I raised and home schooled my three children and ran a small community practice. Over a span of 15 years, my experiences included solo practice, busy group practice, and birth center, blending of traditional midwifery with formalized education. In 2025, I graduated from Midwives College of Utah and earned my credential as a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). Currently I work in solo practice, supporting families in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and eastern Connecticut with holistic, personalized pregnancy care, home birth, postpartum and newborn care with all visits in your own home.

When I was looking for a midwife for my second pregnancy and first home birth, I wasn’t sure what to look for. After interviewing a few midwives, Cynthia really stood out to me. From the beginning, I felt like she genuinely wanted to get to know me and understand my previous birth experience. She made me feel heard and supported right away. I especially appreciated that she offered a FaceTime meeting so I could see her beforehand, and I loved how she included my daughter in that first interaction. Having a three-year-old, it made such a difference that Cynthia offered home visits, it took away the stress of bringing a child to appointments. I knew I wanted a home birth, but I had never truly envisioned what that would look like. Cynthia was incredibly patient and helped guide me in creating the birth experience I wanted. She supported me in having the kind of pregnancy and birth that felt right for me. She is very knowledgeable and was always available to answer questions or just talk things through. One of my favorite parts was how she included my daughter in every appointment, letting her help, listen to the baby’s heartbeat, and taking the time to talk and play with her. It made the experience so special for our whole family. When it came time for my birth, I had a “go with the flow” mindset, and Cynthia fully supported me in that. I felt safe, respected, and cared for the entire time. I also truly appreciated the postpartum care. It was personal, calming, and far more attentive than the standard six-week follow-up. Cynthia made sure both baby and I were doing well with multiple visits after the birth. I had such a wonderful experience with Cynthia. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a home birth, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future.

Let me start off by saying, Karen was heaven sent. My experience with with her was something I never thought I needed, if you’re looking for a doula she’s a perfect fit. I 1,000% recommend her, 10/10. I feel her work is something every mom to be should experience. I feel she helped heal my mind body and soul in a matter of 3 days.

Tykarah Pitt

My name is Tykarah, and I am a traditional birth attendant and a devoted student of indigenous midwifery. With Jamaican (paternal) and American (maternal) roots, I embody a rich heritage that includes Irish immigrants, Creek, Maroons, and Syria. As a BLACK Afro-Indigenous woman, my spiritual and professional journey is deeply intertwined with my membership in the Divine Sisterhood Circle, a BIPOC women-led community dedicated to creating sacred, inclusive spaces where families feel safe, seen, heard, and supported. I am also a proud member of the Traditional Community Birth Workers (TBCW), focusing on preserving ancestral wisdom and traditional birth practices without the use of legend drugs or ultrasound. My offerings include a comprehensive range of services such as emotional, physical, and spiritual support throughout the birthing process. I provide energy work, massage therapy, traditional womb care, yoni steaming, belly wrapping, herbal teas and salves, placenta rituals, hip closing ceremonies, and meal preparation. Having completed extensive training in lactation consulting, birth assistance, holistic midwifery skills, and full spectrum doula work with a concentration on reproductive justice, I am committed to empowering and healing families through culturally affirming modalities. My philosophy centers on the sacredness of birth as a transformative ritual, where each family’s unique experience is honored and supported. By following the path of my ancestors and integrating the teachings of the Psalms, I strive to guide families through a journey of personal and collective growth, while fighting against systemic oppression and fostering holistic well-being.

Rophe Mason Popular: among the most-viewed doulas in Massachusetts, last 60 days

Responds within a few hours Accepts insurance

From an early age, Rophe was drawn to birth work and the beauty of the experience. Rophe is passionate about advocating for couples and giving them the education they need to make informed decisions to take charge of their births. She believes strongly in the beauty and strength of a women's body and its intended design for birth. Melissa’s earliest memory of delighting in the birth process was as a child visiting the Science Museum. She remembers watching videos, one of a mother dancing in her labor room, another surrounded by her young family, while another escaped into a birthing pool to focus inwardly. It was not until Melissa became a mother herself that she realized just how empowering the birth space can be.

Andrea supported us for the birth of our first child, and I was able to have the unmedicated birth I hoped for. She was available leading up to the birth for emotional preparation, and helped me labor through the night at home so I arrived at the hospital already in active labor — a real accomplishment for me. She was in our room minutes after we checked in, interfaced beautifully with my medical team, and paid close attention to my cues, offering well-timed suggestions that kept me calm and progressing. When we hit a few unexpected bumps, she helped me stay steady rather than anxious. I'd recommend her without hesitation — she was kind, respectful of my birth preferences, and easy to trust during such a vulnerable time.

Nicole Chen was an incredible support throughout my breastfeeding journey. I was having a very difficult time with my baby struggling to latch, finding out my baby was tongue-tied, and dealing with a low milk supply. It was an emotional and overwhelming experience, but Nicole was patient, knowledgeable, and so encouraging every step of the way. She took the time to listen to my concerns, offered practical techniques to improve latching, explained how my baby's tongue tie could affect feeding, and gave me realistic guidance and support for increasing my milk production. Most importantly, she never made me feel judged or discouraged. Her compassion, expertise, and reassurance gave me the confidence to keep trying. I am so grateful for her care and would highly recommend Nicole Chen to any new parent looking for a caring, supportive, and experienced midwife and breastfeeding advocate.

November 2026

Kim was an absolute angel to my husband and I during my labor and delivery! She brought such a calming and reassuring presence to the room, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to have by our side. She listened to our preferences, gave us sound advice, and made sure we felt heard and advocated for throughout the entire experience. Even during my pregnancy, she was always there to help. She checked in regularly, answered any questions I had, and even helped me figure out the right questions to ask my doctor so I could feel more informed and prepared going into delivery. One thing I really appreciated about Kim is that you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and caring, and her support never felt like she was just doing a job. She truly cared about me, my baby, and our experience. I’m so grateful we chose her and I would recommend her a thousand times over!

November 2026

Kim was very knowledgeable about various aspects surrounding pregnancy and birth. Kim was able to listen to my situation, assess all the things I would need to best support this pregnancy, work with me on a schedule that worked for both of us and even helped me communicate with my providers with understanding. She was very resourceful when it came to accessing different readings and websites, very timely in responding to messages, timely with birth planning and was helpful when it came to my husband needing more information on how to care for me and my baby. Overall best experience ever had, will be returning again.

As a fifth time mother experiencing my very first home birth, I cannot say enough about how incredible Edine is! Even with my past birth experiences, bringing a baby into the world at home felt like a sacred new step, and Edine provided the exact safety, respect, and peace I was looking for. From our very first prenatal visit, she made me feel deeply heard and supported. During and incredibly fast and intense delivery, Edine's calm grounded presence and expert guidance allowed me to trust my body completely. The postpartum care she provided in the tender weeks that followed, was filled with so much warmth and dedication. Edine is an exceptional midwife who brings immense heart and skill to her practice. I am endlessly grateful to her for helping me achieve such a safe, beautiful, and empowering birth experience at home.
