Hi everyone, my name is Claire Estacuy, but I also go by Chachi in my community so please feel free to call me either. I currently live in Pawtucket, RI and serve families from all over RI and many parts of MA. I am a Full Spectrum Doula and a Newborn Care Specialist. I did my training for both professions in 2022 and have been immersed in this rewarding field ever since. I received my B.S. in Health Studies and B.A. in Gender & Women Studies from the University of Rhode Island. As a Spanish speaking Doula, I emphasize my Doula practice to include culturally congruent care while always providing evidence based information to all my clients. I chose to name my business With Love because it is the best way to describe how I show up for my clients and how I believe we all should handle the many whirlwinds that life can often throw at us.

Working with newborns has been my lifelong passion, and I've been on quite the adventure! Picture this: I became a first-time mom before I even hit 20. Yeah, not your typical start, but hey, life throws some curveballs. Luckily, I've always had this knack for knowing what to do with babies – call it intuition or just sheer survival instinct! Fast forward a bit, and I'm now a mom of three amazing grown children. My two boys proudly served in the military, one in the Air Force and the other in the Marines. Meanwhile, my daughter's out there rocking the creative writing scene at Emerson College. The best news is, I survived parenting long enough to level up. I became a Nanie for the first time in January 2024 with the arrival of my grandson! After over 25 years of experience in the child care industry and a whole lot of love and laughter along the way, in 2018 I put my passion and experience to good use and opened Blissful Sleep Newborn Care. In 2023 I upped my game and became a DONA-certified postpartum doula and became “Blissful Sleep Newborn & Postpartum Care”. Why? Well, as much as I absolutely love caring for newborns, I genuinely want to help other moms navigate and enjoy the wild and wonderful “fourth trimester”. I've been in your sleep-deprived shoes, I remember the whirlwind these first few weeks can be. And to add insult to the chaos, nobody handed us a manual when we left the hospital! So hear me and believe me when I say… I see you, I hear you, I’ve BEEN you, and I'm here to be that manual.

Plain and simple: I love all things pregnancy! After working in the music industry for nearly ten years, I experienced a deep and abrupt shift in my life trajectory upon becoming pregnant. Prior to my pregnancy, I had already declared my path of Maternal & Neonatal Health in my DrPH program, but experiencing the true miracle we call life confirmed that Maternal & Neonatal Health are in fact a huge part of my purpose, even so much so that I was willing to partially cut ties with the music business to fulfill this duty. That’s why and how I’m here for you today — I truly believe I was called to do this work. I’ve always had an interest in the unknowns of pregnancy. I was born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and have lived my life with a star-shaped G-tube patch and midline incision scar that represent the intersectionality of pregnancy, what can go wrong and how we can fix it. And upon marrying my husband, a heart transplant recipient, I became even more enthralled by the specialty of disease prevention in infants. Many wonder why I took the DrPH path as opposed to a traditional MD degree, and the truth is that nothing I’ve ever done in my life was conventional. It is my belief that addressing Maternal & Neonatal Health issues from the standpoint of public health practice is not only effective, but is also fulfilling. As a public health practitioner, I address the risks and patterns of pregnancy complications as a population-wide problem. I’m not a medical doctor because I am not interested in treating these conditions: I am a public health doctor because I am committed to preventing them altogether.
