Hi there! I am a birth and postpartum doula, birth photographer, and educator located in Waddell, Arizona. I am passionate about creating an informed and empowered birth experience. The spark for birth work was inspired after the natural birth of my daughter and the love for this work has been reignited in every birth I have attended since. I hope to help "normalize" birth as well as empower parents in their journey into new parenthood.

I’m Paty, a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, proudly serving families across the Phoenix area and West Valley — including Goodyear, Buckeye, Litchfield Park, Avondale, Glendale, Surprise, Peoria, and Tolleson. As a bilingual (English–Spanish) doula with a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction, I bring both heart and knowledge into my care. My background allows me to support families not just physically, but emotionally and educationally — helping them feel calm, confident, empowered and deeply connected throughout their journey. Since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of working in maternal health care. Becoming a doula is truly the fulfillment of that dream — a calling that lets me serve families during one of life’s most transformative seasons. As a mother of four, including two children I birthed myself, I understand the beauty, vulnerability, and sacredness of giving birth. My mission is to walk beside you — to remind you that you are capable, strong, and deserving of care, respect, and love. At Madre Moon Doula, I honor the mind, body, and spirit of every birthing person. Together, we’ll embrace the sacredness of bringing new life into the world — one birth, one heartbeat, and one moon phase at a time. 🌕

Wonderful postpartum doula! Helped with light housekeeping and meal prep and snacks for my older kids. Alexus made sure I stayed fed and hydrated. Watched the baby so I could rest and shower. I think every woman deserves an amazing postpartum doula like Alexus. She provided a great listening ear to alleviate any worries and concerns I had. 10/10 recommend Alexus

I am a Birth Doula who educates, supports and coaches women and their families throughout the childbirth process. I believe that all women and babies deserve the dignity of a joy filled birth. The goal of childbirth should not only be to survive but to thrive in labor. Birth is intimate, vulnerable and sacred and you deserve bedside hands-on care that makes you feel important and loved. Mamma you are strong, beautiful and a vessel that brings forth new life. It is my mission to educate and support you with those truths in mind. Your body was made for this!

Hey there, I'm Joy! I believe that childbirth is the closest thing we have to actual magic on this planet, and it's such a shame to me that we seem to be forgetting how amazing it can be. At the same time I also believe that there's no wrong way to give birth. From unmedicated home births to scheduled C-sections I want to be there for you to make sure you feel solid in your choice. I'm very LGBTQ friendly and I respect all religious beliefs and lack there of. Feel free to reach out to me for any reason, even just to chat about your general fears and anxieties surrounding birth.

Never did I ever think I would have a doula in my birth. And I dont regret that decision at all. I went fully unmedicated for my 2nd pregnancy and it was the best decision I’ve done. Alyssa was there from beginning to end to support me and listen to me at all moments of the day. She is great as what she does and even if you aren’t planning on going unmedicated hiring her as your doula would be the best decision for an amazing birth experience.

My name is Dana and I’m an RN-BSN, IBCLC. My passion for breastfeeding education began as I was in nursing school and working at a local birthing center in 2015. I continued my nursing career in the Neonatal ICU and it was there that I recognized how much more support and education mothers and babies truly need. I have two beautiful children whom I love with all of my heart and have collectively breastfed for 5+ years. I love sharing my knowledge of lactation care, both professional and personal experiences, to other mothers and families. I look forward to assisting you on your breastfeeding journey!

After a successful 15 year career in nonprofit fundraising and international higher education, I found my life’s purpose in supporting growing families during one of the most life changing event, childbirth. My doula journey started in 2017 and I quickly integrated my years of yoga practice into my doula services by completing my 200-hour and prenatal yoga teacher training in 2018 and my traditional Thai massage training in 2019. My services are rooted in my Buddhist upbringing and the belief in using our innate abilities and the abundant resources we have to face life's challenges with full consent, faith and fortitude.

Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile. I have worked as a Nanny for 15 years and will share my resume with you after we talk and know we can work well together. My clients included first time Moms and their infants up to Mom with middle schoolers. Also, I'm a mother to 4 of my own who are adults. I am registered on Trustline with a clean background, and CPR certified. I have completed 2 DONA workshops, Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula, but still working on my certification. Like many of us who decided to become Doulas, I can vividly recall feeling unsupported throughout each of my pregnancies and deliveries. I know what it's like to be sleep deprived while caring for a newborn. My goal is to learn from you how can I support you. I'm not going to walk in assuming that I know how you feel or what your needs are. Every person is different! I feel each birthing and postpartum person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. I am a new Doula without experience therefore my fees are less than a Doula with experience and one that is certified. However, I do not come without knowledge and the ability to support you. The name of my business is All About You Doula because a Doula should be there for you in the capacity you need. Thank you for reading!

Hello! My name is Jessica—also known as Jess or Jessie—a birth doula proudly supporting families across Temecula and San Diego. My journey into birth work has been deeply personal, as I became a mother at seventeen and just recently welcomed a new baby to my family last summer. Born and raised in southern Illinois and married to my wife who grew up in Israel, I blend Midwestern warmth with global perspective in every birth I attend. Having experienced motherhood as a teenager and supporting my wife through her cesarean journey, I understand firsthand the many ways birth can unfold. My mission is to empower and uplift women of all ages—whether they choose home birth, a birth center, or a hospital setting—and to honor every birth story with compassion, respect, and celebration. I’d be honored to support you on yours.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jessica and the care she provided as my doula. From the very beginning, she was calm, knowledgeable, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. Jessica has a rare ability to make you feel both empowered and deeply cared for at the same time. During labor, her presence was grounding and comforting—she knew exactly when to step in, when to advocate, and when to simply offer quiet support. Her confidence and warmth made a world of difference during such a vulnerable and transformative moment. Jessica truly goes above and beyond. She is attentive, intuitive, and genuinely invested in the well-being of both the birthing parent and family. I felt heard, respected, and supported every step of the way, and I am so grateful to have had her by my side during this experience. If you are considering a doula, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica. She is exceptional at what she does, and any family would be incredibly lucky to work with her.

I strive to make every environment as empowering, warm, and equitable as possible. I am passionate about being a mama & partner, running, cooking, hiking my way through National Parks, finding the best lavender latte in town, and most of all, building meaningful relationships with others. I will nurture you, empower you, keep you well-fed and rested, and support your choices and questions as you prepare to welcome this new life. When your baby is born, you are also born as a parent. I’m here to hold you through that amazing (and sometimes overwhelming) shift in identity. Let’s connect!

Aly was amazing and super easy to work with. She communicated quickly and answered all my questions during our consultation. I did my placenta encapsulation with her and she was on top of it as soon as we let her know I was in labor. She dropped off my pills and even included a little extra treat for us. Definitely recommend her services. On top of it all, she’s been super sweet and has checked up on me ppt. Thanks Aly!!
