LGBTQ+ Affirming Doulas in Worcester, MA

I’m a Homebirth midwife who also loves to serve as a doula. I have years of experience with unmedicated, natural births, but can also support in any context. I believe every birthing person deserves compassion, love, and kindness as they bring a baby through. I’m here to listen to your desires, help educate you on the options you have, and stand by you through your birthing/early parenting process. I’ve attended over 400 births and counting :) When not at a birth I spend my days playing with my son, hiking with my dog, cooking and exploring. Happy to help as a birth or postpartum doula, homebirth midwife, or lactation specialist.

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.

My interests besides birthwork include architecture and design, enjoying western Massachusetts and the San Francisco Bay Area's beautiful natural landscapes, and quality time with people and animals I love. Authenticity flows through my birthwork and enhances my capacity to understand and connect with people. I provide embodied, mindful, compassionate, knowledgeable accompaniment and witness for families of all kinds, including solo birthing people and those with existing support from a partner and birth team. I am especially excited to work with LGBTQ+ and disabled clients, along with families anticipating bringing a disabled kiddo into the world.

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.

Pregnancy and birth can be unpredictable and expectant parents may find themselves in uncharted territory.

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. Times of great transition are deserving of tender support and care. Danielle's utmost hope is that time spent together leaves you feeling connected to needed support and with memories of an empowering birth experience.

Hello families! My name is Bryannah and I am a trained postpartum doula and newborn care specialist. My background started in pharmacy before pursing a career in childcare where I grew my skill set as a nanny and infant teacher. I finished my formal training in postpartum and newborn care after studying to be a perinatal mental health therapist. My joys of taking care of newborns and babies led me to pursue doula work full-time. I consider myself a jack-of-all-trades for parents. I have a bit of experience in many facets of care including sleep conditioning, supporting perinatal health including mood disorders, and am eager to learn and grow. I pride myself on being trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, believe that pregnancy and birth can be healthy at any size, and work best in an environment that fosters parent/caregiver collaboration. The newborn trenches can be difficult and by no means is every experience “picture perfect” but I would love to be a part of your village and we can figure it out together one step at a time!

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

Hi, I'm Allison. I am the owner and founder of Holistic Birth & Beyond. I am a birth & postpartum doula, childbirth & lactation educator, reiki practitioner and birth story mentor. For me, my passion lies with empowering and supporting families on their pregnancy, birth and postpartum journeys. The entire perinatal timeframe is so much more than baby registries, maternity photos and nursery painting. This is a time of transition. This chapter will transform you into a new parent and a new version of yourself. We aren't meant to navigate this alone; that's where our team comes in. Providing warmth and unconditional love for parents, newborns and the family as a whole is an honor. Being part of such a vulnerable, intimate experience is extraordinary and something I truly cherish. I live in Goffstown, NH with my family. When I'm not at a birth or meeting with clients & colleagues, you can find me spending time with my family, friends and houseplants.

Hi, I'm Heather. I gave birth to twins during the pandemic, and my experience sparked a passion inside of me to support, educate and help others feel empowered on their own child birthing journeys! I believe that every person deserves to have a positive and empowering birth experience, and am committed to providing evidence- based education that supports achieving this goal. I have degrees in Sports Medicine and Education, and have spent over 20 years mentoring and coaching others. I love drinking earl grey tea, being crafty, and exploring the local beaches on the North Shore with my wife and 5 year old boys.

I have worked in maternal child health for nearly two decades, supporting families of all shapes and sizes. With a background in both perinatal education and support, as well as serving as a certified lactation counselor, I am grateful to provide care for all, in whatever capacity that entails.
