I honestly cannot say enough good things about Wis!!! Though she wasn’t physically in my delivery room, she played a big part in my birth. She provided so much information that was not only interesting but very useful. She helped me a lot when it came to advocating for myself as a high risk mom. I had a few situations where I felt uncomfortable about the circumstances around how my child was born but Wis prayed with me and provided valuable resources so that I could make informed decisions about my care. Choosing Wis to be your doula would never be a mistake. The love, the care, and dedication she puts into this is beyond a job. I’ve gotten to know and seen her on a personal level and the fact that she’s back in school so she can continue to learn how to support women and families through such a precious time attest to her passion and professionalism around birth work.

Choosing Wislene as my doula was hands-down the best decision I made for my birth journey. Being a FTM from the moment we started working together, she was so much more than just a birth professional; she was a mentor and teacher, providing me with the most vital information I have ever received regarding birth and postpartum care. Throughout my labor and delivery— induction which didn't go exactly as I had originally planned—Wislene was my advocate and support pilar for myself and my husband. Having her there to help navigate those moments gave me a sense of peace I wouldn't have had otherwise. Beyond her expertise, she was a true prayer warrior. Since losing my mother, I was looking for a specific kind of support, and Wislene stepped in with a God-fearing kindness and wisdom that truly filled a void. She instilled in me the confidence and reassurance I needed during my most vulnerable hours which I carried into my postpartum journey. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, deeply spiritual, and a fierce advocate for your needs, I cannot recommend Wislene highly enough. She is a gift to any birthing person.

Wislene is a professional, caring, and passionate about her work as a doula. She stands alongside us, postpartum, and evening during preganancy, by asking questions, teaching me how to affirm myself and stick up for myself in the process of giving birth and postpartum afterwards. Wislene is educated and dedicated to her role; no one is left behind when they're supported and cared by her. Wislene has helped me through so much, perinatal, postpartum, and even now, being 2 years postpartum. I highly recommend her, no doubt. She's a true gem in the doula and birthing community.

Frequently asked questions

What does your postpartum support looks like?

I come in, check in and with parents to see how they and baby are doing. We go over my task for the shift and I then take the care of baby for the shift. I take time to hear parents out about their routines, concerns, questions and also debrief with them their birthing experience. I offer feeding support whether formula or breastfeeding. At the end of my shift, I check in with parents with a detailed log of baby’s care and how parents are feeling then I leave.

Once I go into labor, when do you join me?

I typically meet you at the hospital once you are in active labor and stay in close contact until then. I can also meet you at home and help you labor at home, depends on what we decide.

How do you deal with partners/husbands if they are present?

I 100% involve them in the entire process. During our prenatal meetings, I teach them how to support and during labor I also guide them on how to best support and also advocate for mom.

Do you work with families using benefits such as Carrot?

Yes. None of my clients so far I’ve had issues with reimbursement or using their allocated funds.

Do you have experience with baby sleep?

Yes, somewhat. Though I am not a sleep consultant I have helped many families navigate their baby’s sleep & setting up routines that work for them.

How do you advocate for your clients?

I have a collaborative approach where I mediate communication between patient and medical professionals that allows the patient to have agency over their care. I navigate the dialogue in a way that encourages doctors and nurses to have clear communication with patients where benefits, risks and alternative options are discussed and the patient can make informed decisions.

What types of births do you have experience with?

I have supported only hospital births with a variety of cases: early medical inductions, elective inductions, medicated and unmedicated births, families with NICU babies, planned and unplanned cesareans.
