Hello, my name is Alyssa, and I am the proud mother of two beautiful children. My passion for becoming a doula grew from my personal experiences with both of my births. My son’s birth was smooth and textbook, and thanks to my supportive midwife, I had a positive and empowering experience. However, it was my more challenging experience with my daughter that truly inspired me to pursue a career as a doula.
My daughter’s birth was complicated by preterm labor, and she was born with holes in her heart. We spent two months in the hospital due to jaundice, and throughout this time, I felt I lacked the emotional support I needed. The medical team often created more anxiety than hope, and I found myself having to advocate fiercely for my own care. This experience fueled my desire to help other mothers have a positive, empowering birth journey, rather than one filled with fear or uncertainty.
My approach as a doula is rooted in holistic care, and my personal experience as a mother allows me to offer a compassionate, understanding presence for each of my clients. I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, supported, and safe. As a new doula, I aim to make my services accessible by offering fair and reasonable pricing. I understand firsthand how financial constraints can impact your birth experience—had I been able to afford a doula with my daughter, I would have had an entirely different experience.
I invite you to schedule a free consultation so we can discuss how I can help make your birth experience as beautiful and empowering as you envision.
