Nancy was amazing as a doula! I was nervous as this was my first baby and being a person of color. Nancy was there throughout my entire pregnancy.

Hello! I’m happy to cross your path in your search for a doula. I am a trained birth doula with experience serving a range of clients, but I have a particular passion in serving those who have been affected by violence. I am motivated to promote an atmosphere where my clients can explore what they need to feel safe and grounded, with the intention of helping my clients build a more positive and trusting relationship with their body. My healing-centered approach centers autonomy and promotes my client’s wisdom in decision making and creation of their birth plans that tailor to their needs. I have experience serving clients who are survivors of sexual violence and community violence. In my 9-5 job I support hospitals in becoming more trauma-informed and survivor-centered. Please reach out if you are interested in talking more about my services. Wishing you a healthy and positive pregnancy and birth!

As a doula, I not only bear witness to the birth of babies, but to the birth of parents. I watch in the background as parents harness their strength to unspeakable levels, welcoming the newest, littlest members of the family with emotions that swell and carry the room. As you draw from your inner core strength, physically and spiritually, I am in awe. And I recognize that you deserve continuous support services throughout the first year of your child’s life to ensure optimal outcomes for your beautiful family. Learn more about the principles that dictate Aila Birth Village by clicking here. Aila, pronounced I-la, means “from the strong place”. As such, I am committed to providing you with the support and resources you need to effectively build up your family. My expanded services now include antepartum support, birth support, postpartum support, childbirth education, breastfeeding education, infant sleep consultations, and even a special Back to Work planning program. I believe that you have a fundamental right to experience a beautiful birth as you define it. I recognize that this is a sacred, transformative time for you and your family, and I will treat it with authentic reverence. This means your feelings should be heard, your preferences should be honored, your reproductive rights respected, your heart protected, and your body enveloped with the love and support of your birth team. To this end, I provide you with evidence-based tools and resources that places you and your baby’s needs at the center. No matter the setting of birth - hospital, birthing center, or home birth – and no matter the type of birth – vaginal, c-section, or via surrogate - your birth can be empowering. My hope is that my support is virtuous and exemplary and this is reflected in how you feel during our time together.

My name is Rehema, and stepping into the role of a doula feels like a calling that has been growing inside me for some time. I am beginning a new chapter in my life’s journey as a doula. I have always been passionate about supporting others, creating safe spaces, and offering care that uplifts and empowers. Through my personal and professional experiences, I’ve learned the importance of listening deeply, honoring each person’s unique story, and showing up with compassion during life’s most meaningful moments. This new journey as a doula is about more than just birth work. It’s about being present, compassionate, and intentional in how I support families. I want to walk alongside people during one of the most powerful transitions in life, offering reassurance, guidance, and advocacy so they never feel alone. For me, this work is not just about welcoming new life, but about building trust, nurturing community, and honoring the power of women and families.

Hi, I’m Kathleen Stern—a certified postpartum and birth doula, certified infant feeding specialist and an IBCLC candidate (international board certified lactation consultant), expecting to be certified in 2026. I love working with parents to offer real-time relief and practical tips and to remind them that they’re doing a great job. My goal is to build your confidence and provide relief so that you feel better when my visit ends. Whether you’re a first-time parent feeling nervous/excited or thinking “I don’t know what I don’t know,” or a seasoned parent looking for some more relief this time around, I’ve got you! Prior to working with infants and families, I earned a Masters in Teaching and had a rewarding 15-year education career— teaching students (mostly middle school English), coaching teachers, and helping others recognize their own strengths. I got into the perinatal world after I had a colicky baby in 2014 and was filled with exhaustion, self-doubt, and conflicting advice from well-meaning family and friends. I knew there must be a better way. For my second baby, I worked with a postpartum doula to provide me with the nonjudgmental, hands-on support I knew I would need. The difference between my first and second postpartum experiences prompted me to become a doula and lactation professional. My best advice for expecting families is, “Reach out for help before you think you need it. You're not supposed to be able to do this by yourself.” I live in the North Shore with my 11 and 8 year-old daughters and labradoodle. When I’m not with my family or holding babies, I love to garden, be active, and be by the water.

Jade has been an incredible advocate and support for my family. She was my son’s teacher and went above and beyond to ensure he had what he needed to thrive. Even years later, she continues to stay connected with us, which speaks to her genuine care and dedication. Although I haven’t worked with her directly in her doula role, I have every confidence that the same compassion, advocacy, and commitment she showed my family will make her an outstanding support to any parent or family she serves.

Hello, My name is Erica Espinal and I am a trained Doula as well as a Licensed Esthetician. I wanted to be become a doula because birth is a life-changing experience and all women deserve to have the opportunity to be given that extra support they might have needed or wanted.

Hello! I'm Erin, The British Doula. I am a DONA International™ certified birth doula living in Roslindale, MA and practicing in the Greater Boston Area. To any pregnant woman reading this, I’d like to start off saying a huge congratulations! And thank you for considering me to join your support team. I'm originally from London, England, and I first became interested in birth work when I moved to the U.S. 8 years ago — I was so surprised at how different the cultural interpretations of birth are here compared to the U.K. About 4 years ago, I started reading and learning more about the different experiences of birth around the world, and I have never looked back!

Erin is phenomenal--we would 100% recommend her! She is very knowledgeable, calm and highly supportive. She did an excellent job answering our questions and providing resources. We greatly appreciated her presence, support and advocacy at the hospital. My wife and I were very fortunate to have her as our doula.

Hello! As a birth doula, my intention is to help my clients feel comfortable, confident, and at ease from conception to postpartum. I provide my clients with evidence-based, nonjudgmental, physical and emotional support, and a loving, calming presence. What brings me the most joy in doing this work are the relationships formed, understanding my client’s needs and goals, and supporting them to get there. I’m a mom to two little girls, a former collegiate volleyball player, strength coach, and certified yoga teacher. Functional movement and training have been a part of my life for quite some time, and a significant component of my approach - helping my clients to physically prepare for motherhood. I look forward to connecting and seeing how I can best support you during this season of life!

I aspire to give birthing individuals and families the space to be themselves to create deep connections during this beautiful, miraculous and vulnerable time.
