I love all things birth with a peaceful and natural approach. I use positive affirmations, information and emotional support. Being a Photographer has also helped me capture those unforgettable moments that go by too fast. When I'm not at a Birth you will find me making memories with my family and drinking lots and lots of coffee! I love coffee! I am also blessed to be a mother of 3 beautiful children, and have been married for 28 years.

Hello my name is Amya, I am 21 years old. I was born and raised in the groton/newlondon area. I am the oldest out of 10, i have 5 sisters and 4 brothers. I love working with newborns and kids. I am a mother myself, My daughter just turned 4 months. Her name is Azariyah. Fun fact - my mom named all of her kids starting with the letter A, so i am keeping the trend going lol. I enjoy taking care of others it comes natural to me. Birth is such a beautiful experience to go through. To me there will never be enough time to soak it all in. Postpartum is very challenging with trying to heal, taking care of yourself and also taking care of your little one. Trust me when i say i know! Everyone parents different, and i am a parent who does not judge ! I would love to help you out with your little one and your transition to feel back to yourself again.

Hi my name is Jess. I have always known that my gift is to help others heal. Being a doula is a manifestation of that. Birth work is a direct response to the injustice and disparities experienced by BIPOC in the US. And we all have the power to change that narrative. ​​ I look forward to healing with you.

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.
