Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a Certified Perinatal Doula (CPD) and artist based in Providence, Rhode Island. I’ve been supporting birthing families since 2022, but my path to this work started long before then. Living with endometriosis shaped my understanding of how essential it is to feel seen, heard, and supported in healthcare. When I was first learning how to navigate life with endo, I needed someone who could inform, empower, and walk with me through the unknown. Now, I’m honored to be that person for others as a doula. I’m committed to inclusive, compassionate, and evidence-based support. My approach is rooted in deep listening, genuine connection, and a belief that birth can be a powerful, joyful, and transformative experience. I offer support across four pillars: physical, emotional, informational, and advocacy, so that you and your birth partner feel informed, respected, and confident throughout your journey. I also accept Rhode Island-based insurances including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Neighborhood, United, and Medicaid. I’ll help you explore your options, prepare for the unexpected, and make choices that reflect your values. I work collaboratively with your care team to create an easeful, grounded birth environment so you can focus on birthing your baby, your way.

Danielle is a DONA International trained Labor and Birth Doula, NICU-Informed Doula, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. She is currently accepting birth clients through her doula practice, Wholehearted Birth Support. For the past decade, advocacy and empowerment have been at the heart of Danielle's clinical practice. This foundation led to a natural transition into birth work. Danielle arrived at birth work driven by a passion for supporting families with complex fertility journeys, providing trauma-informed birth support and increasing access to LGBTQIA2S+ affirming doula care. Danielle also cares deeply about improving perinatal mental health experiences and access to care, supporting NICU families, and facilitating full family wellness through offering postpartum planning guidance.

Danielle works in concert with the birthing parent and their support system to understand their birth preferences, concerns, and their hopes for their birth experience. She deeply honors the unique and personal journeys that bring people to parenthood, and seeks to understand her client's history prior to birth to inform the individualized care they would benefit from during labor and delivery. Advanced training in perinatal mental health and perinatal loss allow Danielle to not only provide supportive care during pregnancy and birth, but to create a holding environment through any pregnancy outcome.

Ashley's journey into the realm of motherhood was marked by challenges, particularly with postpartum anxiety following the birth of her son. The experience, not aligning with her envisioned childbirth, significantly impacted her postpartum transition. This prompted Ashley to delve into the intricacies of childbirth, recognizing a pressing need for maternal support during both the birthing process and postpartum period.Motivated by her own transformative experience, Ashley decided to pursue a homebirth with her daughter, finally obtaining the birthing and postpartum support she had sought. This pivotal moment inspired her to undergo comprehensive training as a birth and postpartum doula. Ashley's commitment to her role is evident in her diverse training background, including certifications from CAPPA, Newborn Mothers Collective, and Birth Arts International. Ashley is currently undergoing training to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and is actively accepting clients under the guidance of her mentor.

My name is Rebecca. I have two little girls Scarlet and Emma who inspired me to become a Labor Doula. I loved birth so much that I decided to become a Childbirth Educator. I love supporting clients and their partners through pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum.

I've been professionally practicing as a birth and postpartum doula for seven years, with nearly double that time supporting family and friends. My belief in the innate power of birthing individuals guides me, as I aim to uplift what's already within them. Through a blend of training, experience, and holistic support, I see myself as your birth companion, enhancing existing support without replacing it.

Hi, I'm China (she/her)! I'm a sister, wife, and mother of one. My favorite things include exploring new cafes, cooking, and taking long walks when the weather's nice. Fall is my favorite season, and I'm always down for a pumpkin spice latte. I have a master's in education, and most of my professional experience has been working with youth of all ages. I became a doula because I want to support birthing people in feeling supported and heard. Especially when it comes to honoring their cultural traditions and preferences. Whether you're a first-time parent or a third-time parent, I want to be your guide through this transition. I had an unmedicated delivery in a hospital setting, and it was through my own doula's support and advocacy that I was able to achieve that experience for myself. Let me be a supportive part of your journey.

For more than 8 years, I have had the privilege of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood, including more than 40 births. My approach is warm, calm, evidence-informed, and nonjudgmental. I believe there is no single “right” way to give birth, my role is not to tell you what your birth should look like, but to help you feel informed, prepared, heard, and supported as you make the choices that are right for you and your family. I have experience supporting unmedicated births, epidurals, inductions, VBACs, cesarean births, breastfeeding, postpartum adjustment, and childbirth education. My background in parenting consultation and Circle of Security also shapes the way I care for families. I see birth not as an isolated event, but as the beginning of a new chapter for the whole family. I love supporting parents as they build confidence, learn to understand their baby's needs, and find their own way into parenthood. I provide support in English, Portuguese, and Spanish and proudly serve families throughout the MetroWest area. My hope is that every family I work with feels respected, cared for, and never alone in the journey.

My background in neonatal nursing, lactation, and movement-based therapy allows me to combine medical knowledge with emotional support, breathing techniques, movement, and practical tools for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. I deeply believe in the strength and wisdom of every woman and her ability to give birth with confidence when she feels informed, supported, and respected. My approach is gentle, holistic, and personalized, focusing on empowering women to make their own choices and trust their bodies. My goal is not only to support a positive birth experience but also to help families enter parenthood feeling confident, connected, and cared for. I offer support in English, Hebrew, and Russian.

Hi, I’m Kolby, a full spectrum doula! I come from a big family and have always loved birth & babies. I have been working with children for the past 10 years. In college, I studied nursing (my mom is a nurse), as well as reproductive health. As a doula, I love being able to care for babies and help families adjust to this new stage of life. It makes me happy knowing I’m making a difference in someone’s home. Building relationships and trust with families is important to me, something I take seriously as your doula. Prior to becoming a doula, I worked as an overnight newborn care specialist, nanny and infant teacher– supporting babies and collaborating with parents. I also LOVE working with multiples– I have worked with several multiples families including twins and triplets.

Hello everyone! I am a full spectrum doula and I currently have availability to take on birth clients. I am very passionate about working with birthing people and babies. I received my full spectrum doula certification from Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings in 2023 and I have been supporting families in this period of life for years. My experience is in doula care, infant day-care settings, nannying, non-profit work, and milk banking. My long term goal is to have an impact on marginalized communities. Doula care, especially support during the postpartum period, is seen as a luxury to many people, because it has become more inaccessible. I aim to serve all families and parents, especially those that are not always able to get the care that they need. I am also a certified breastfeeding specialist.

Good afternoon ladies. I chose to become a doula because I truly love being able to support women during one of the most important moments of their lives. My background in healthcare and maternity care has shown me how much of a difference it can make when a woman feels heard, supported, respected, and reassured. I want women to feel like they have someone in their corner—someone who will listen to them, support their choices, answer their questions, and remind them of their strength. I want every woman to feel seen, heard, and supported throughout her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, rather than feeling like she has to go through it alone. Being able to comfort and encourage families during such a life-changing experience is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I also want to give back to my community by providing compassionate and culturally sensitive support in English, French, and Haitian Creole. For me, being a doula is more than just a job—it’s about making women feel empowered, cared for, and truly supported when they need it most. ❤️
