Lexi
A naturally nurturing personality and a degree in early childhood development led me on a path to becoming a career nanny for ten years. To aid in supporting new parents and babies in the first year following birth, I have expanded my expertise with DONA International and Birth Arts International training in postpartum doula work.

Kristen
Hi! I’m Kristen, I’m a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Mother. I love my community, great music, reading, deep conversations about life and parenting, and creating personal connections. Being a Doula is not just my job, it is who I am.

Christie
Christie decided to become a doula for many reasons: supporting other women is part of her personal and professional philosophy, the training and education has helped her to process her own pregnancies and births, and most importantly to assist in helping women and birthing people advocate for themselves and the experiences that they deserve.

Erica
As an pediatric occupational therapist of 25 years, Erica has developed a deep appreciation for the lifelong impact of early mother and infant experiences. This awareness has driven her decision to add doula services to her skill set.

Mandy
My name is Mandy and I’m a mother of three, ages 5 and under. I love anything outdoors, reading and traveling. I chose to become a postpartum doula because I have an infinite love for babies!

Xiomara
I was trained by certified professional midwife (CPM), certified childbirth educator, board certified behavior analyst (BCBA), and licensed behavior specialist (LBS), Beth Goldberg, and through Birth Arts International.

Jess is a DTI trained full spectrum doula. Jess provides in-home, compassionate support for families into the 4th trimester.

Poppy (Kristin)
Poppy became a birth and postpartum doula in 2018, switching careers completely from Corporate Sales and truly stepping into her authenticity. Poppy’s enthusiasm and appreciation for her role as a doula has motivated her to become diversely cross trained through various birth work training and certification programs.

Lorene
Hi, I’m a birth doula and I’m happy to assist you in growing your family. I am a mother of three. I’ve been assisting family and friends with their births since I’ve been 18 years old, before I knew there was a such thing as a “doula”.

Heather
I’ve always been a very caring and nurturing person. I grew up babysitting for family members which eventually led to my career as a professional nanny of 6 years. I have worked with multiple families, and different age groups, and have experience with multiple sets of twins. When I’m not working, you can find me playing with my dogs, spending time with friends and family, poolside, or raveling. Being trusted by your family is the best feeling and means the world to me.
Caela
Hi there! I’m Caela the Doula. I am a birth and postpartum doula. Becoming a birth worker has been in my heart since the birth of my 3lb 8oz fighter, 20 years ago.
Alesha
Alesha is a night time Postpartum Doula. She started with Nurtured Foundation as an In-Home Massage Therapist and decided to add doula work as well so she can further support her fellow moms.
