Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Woburn, MA

Sabrina took exceptional care of our baby. She was extremely attentive and documented each night thoroughly. She gave great suggestions throughout our time together! We felt 100% confident in her care-taking abilities and had complete peace of mind when our baby was in her care.

We had such a beautiful experience with our doula, Oluwakemi. From the very beginning, she was incredibly supportive, attentive, and genuinely caring. After the birth of our son, her presence brought so much calm and reassurance — we honestly don’t know how we would have done it without her. She went above and beyond in every way, and her kindness left such an impression on us that we ended up calling her “Aunt Kemi.” That says everything about how much she meant to our family. What truly stands out is that even after our contract ended, she continues to check in on us and ask about our boy’s wellbeing. That level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. Oluwakemi is not just a doula — she’s a wonderful human being. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family.

Danielle is truly wonderful! As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I know just how important it is for moms to feel supported throughout pregnancy and postpartum, and Danielle is exactly the kind of person you want by your side during that time. She is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about helping moms and families navigate this stage of life. She has such a warm, calming presence and makes everyone around her feel comfortable and cared for. It’s so clear how much she loves what she does, and I would highly recommend her to any new or expecting mom!

I cannot recommend Blissful Sleep enough! We have used them twice now, and their timeliness and reliability really stood out compared to other services we’ve tried. The doulas are natural at soothing and caring for babies, and they were incredibly helpful with establishing routines. Beyond just childcare, they did dishes, washed bottles and pump parts, and helped with other chores, which gave us more time for sleep. We appreciated how flexible they were. They always adjusted to whatever we needed that specific morning—some days that meant letting the baby sleep as long as possible, and other days they had her changed and fed so she was ready for our morning rush to school/ work. If our baby didn't need anything in the morning they would brew coffee and read to the older kiddos. They go above and beyond to support the whole family.

Working with Tia was one of the best decisions we made for our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. From the very beginning, she brought such wisdom, warmth, and intentionality into every interaction. In our prenatal visits, she patiently walked us through what to expect, explained interventions in a way that felt clear and empowering, and gave my partner practical guidance on how to support me during labor. She also shared so much valuable lactation education that set us up for success once our baby arrived. When the time came for labor, Tia was absolutely incredible. She created such a safe and calming space, offering comfort and encouragement in every moment. She helped my partner feel confident in how to support me both physically and emotionally, and I will forever be grateful for how she helped us walk through that experience together. She was also the best advocate, ensuring that my wishes were honored and that we felt truly cared for and seen. Even after birth, Tia’s support didn’t stop. She has been a steady, compassionate presence—answering questions, easing worries, and guiding us as we step into this new season of parenthood. Her postpartum care has been just as meaningful as her presence at birth. Tia is a gift. She pours love and intentionality into her work in a way that is truly rare, and I can’t imagine having walked through this season without her.

Ollie is the best! She meets you wherever you’re at mentally, emotionally, physically throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I had a rough 30 hour labor that ended in a c-section and she stuck with me the entire time! She translated the doctor talk and helped me weigh pros and cons of each step in my birth plan, when every step changed. Having her calm and fun presence to help me through the most challenging event I’ve ever faced was invaluable. She is a rockstar and you’d be silly not to work with her.

I can’t say enough good things about Becca! From the very beginning, she was there to help me prepare both physically and emotionally. She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so fun and kind, which made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. Becca helped me build muscle memory for key movements that would be useful during labor. But she made sure I was not overwhelmed with too much information to be able to stay in “laborland” as she calls. She guided me in identifying and addressing my fears before birth. Acknowledging those fears ahead of time gave me a sense of peace I didn’t even realize I needed. She also helped me create a value-based birth plan, ensuring it was respected by the hospital team (which was not standard care in the hospital!) During labor, Becca was absolutely incredible. She stayed with us for 24 hours straight (or maybe more? I lost track of time after a while lol), supporting not just me but my husband too by helping him to help me. Her positive energy made a huge impact. She created a calm, cozy space with her electric candles and soft voice where I felt safe and protected. She moved with me and held space. When a doctor dismissed my needs and concerns, Becca was right there to advocate for me and made sure my voice was heard. Her advice on pushing positions and paced pushing helped turn my baby, who was in a side position, allowing me to give birth vaginally without tearing!- which was one of my fears. Even after labor, when I felt completely drained and defeated, Becca was there with her positive, reassuring words. She kept reminding me of how strong I had been, especially when I stood up for myself when some of the providers weren’t as responsive as they should’ve been. It helped me to rewrite my birth story and made it a story of empowerment! Becca’s kindness, fun personality, and ability to create such a positive environment gave me the confidence to believe in myself. I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through the experience without her, and I’ll always be so grateful for the positive impact she had on me and my birth!

We had an exceptional experience with Carrie-Lee. As first-time parents bringing our newborn home, having her support as our postpartum doula made an incredible difference for our family. From the moment we met her, Carrie-Lee was warm, kind, and immediately put us at ease. Her extensive knowledge and experience with newborn care were evident in everything she did, and we trusted her completely to care for our daughter while we caught up on some much-needed sleep. Knowing our baby was in such capable and loving hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. Beyond the practical support, Carrie-Lee was also an amazing teacher. We learned so much simply by watching her interact with our daughter and through the thoughtful guidance and advice she shared with us. She has a wonderful ability to share her expertise in a way that feels encouraging, approachable, and never overwhelming. Carrie-Lee is not only exceptionally skilled but also incredibly down-to-earth and genuinely kind. We are so grateful she was part of our postpartum journey and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone welcoming a new baby, including our own family and closest friends. She is truly an invaluable resource, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her support during such a special time.

My experience with Jenn was nothing short of perfect. She was attentive, kind and understanding. From the very first phone call, I knew it was the perfect match to help me through the birth of my 4th child. She was very professional and always made our appointments a priority. Jenn is down to earth and a very good listener! My birth experience was anything but what I had planned but Jenn was always there, always so positive and encouraging, not to mention, extremely knowledgeable. Her presence was welcoming and supportive. I would recommend Jenn to anyone looking for extra support through their pregnancy and birth. Thanks Jenn!!!

Re: Diane Sirpenski/Newborn Care Specialist To Whom It May Concern: I am writing in regard to Diane Sirpenski, whom I have known and hired as my newborn care specialist for all three of my kids. I believe Diane is the best and always my FIRST choice for the above cited position. I have known Diane since November 2017, when I first hired her as the newborn care specialist for my first-born son who is now 2.5 years old. Her position with us lasted about 12 weeks wherein she provided nighttime care for our then 2-month-old son. She would show up promptly at 10:00 pm, (NEVER TARDY!), always easing my nerves being that I was a first-time mom. Diane always answered all my first-time mom questions and always had super helpful tips handy. She was very up to date with the latest trends and knowledge regarding baby care so I knew I could trust her advice. She took detailed care notes throughout the night regarding feedings, diaper changes, and sleep periods. When I got pregnant with my twin girls in February 2019 Diane was the only choice for me. I reached out to her immediately to securely lock in her help! She got me through my first few months with my first born with so much ease, I knew I needed her around for my biggest challenge yet. Throughout my pregnancy, Diane often reached out to me to check in and chat. She sent me twin tips and intel she gathered from all her vast experience. She was of course up to date on all the must haves to alleviate the first few months with newborns. Even though I had a relationship with Diane from my prior pregnancy this certainly helped establish and further our relationship. This was important since she would be spending a lot time with us once the babies arrived. Diane showed up on our first night home with the twins at the end of September 2019 and immediately dove into the task and challenges of a nighttime routine with not one newborn but two! She showed skill, expertise and most importantly compassion towards the girls and the position. She quickly became part of our family and we loved having her around. She showed the same professionalism as she did when we met her the first time around- always punctual and reliable. Her hygiene paralleled that of a nurse, which of course is a top priority. I had restful nights knowing the girls were in great care. Newborn twins are as tough as it gets- and she made it look easy. The girls started sleeping through the night at 6 months old and never wake each other up. We have Diane to thank for helping us get through it. In summary, I would highly recommend Diane as the BEST choice for any newborn care specialist position and strongly encourage any family to jump at the opportunity in hiring her. Please free to contact me should you have any specific questions regarding Diane’s qualifications. I would be more than happy to further discuss her outstanding qualifications.

Sabrina was incredibly helpful and kind. I’d highly recommend her to anyone considering a doula for the first time. This was our first child, and I truly can’t imagine doing it without Sabrina. She is both caring and highly knowledgeable. Her communication was really good - my wife and I felt super well taken care of. She’s the best!!!

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.
