Find a Birth Doula Near Me in North Port, FL

My name is Virginia Parent. I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula located in Venice, Florida. I have been a Doula for the last 4 years serving families from Lakewood Ranch, Myakka city, to Fort Myers. I believe all families deserve to have a supported birth experience. As a mother of 4, I have experienced two hospital births, one which was an induction and a NICU baby; and I have experienced two midwife supported water births. I have formula fed, exclusively pumped, and exclusively breastfed. My large range of personal experience helps me to remind my clients that birth has a wide range of normal and allows me to relate, personally, to clients no matter how they choose to give birth. I am here to help mother's experience a cozy and welcoming journey into their new roles as mothers and as a family. As a postpartum doula I believe in supporting every family through that first year of parenthood. Whether it is for first time parents or for 5th time parents, we all need a helping hand. I pride myself on putting aside my own personal parenting style and helping to assist parents in finding what works best for their family and their lifestyle. I am happy to assist during difficult transitions such as sleep regression, food aversion, and breastfeeding/bottle feeding struggles. I am versed in pumping schedules that can help clients achieve their goals. I am happy to assist in developing routine and schedules or simply reinforcing a 'go-with-the-flow' method. I am here to help parents feel well rested through night nanny work and providing light housework to reduce the household load on the new family. My goal as a postpartum doula is to ensure you are recovering, connecting, and adjusting to your new journey with your newest addition!

Hello! Glad you’re here! My name is Ashley, I am the co-owner of Suncoast Doula. Where we support families through birth and postpartum. I support families by education and taking the household chores off the shoulders of new parents, including, cleaning bottles, helping with laundry, light house cleaning, and helping mom receive the rest she needs so the family can thrive in the transition.

My passion is educating women and their birth companions so that they know what their options are for labor and birth. Only when you know your options can you actually give informed consent. This way women can create thier own best pregnancy and physiologic birth. I have a degree in Psychology and a background in biofeedback. All of these things came together when I found the HypnoBirthing natural childbirth method while I was pregnant with my fourth son 17 years ago. My midwife encouraged me to become certified after that birth. I was trained by the founder of HypnoBirthing. Marie Mongan in 2007.

Hi, I'm Maybelline - I bet you're like... 🎶 Maybe it's Maybelline 🎶 I'm a Journalist dropout turned birth and postpartum nerd. I'm a certified Health Coach + Certified Birth Doula + Certified Postpartum Doula + Certified Lamaze Childbirth Educator and most recently a Certified VBAC Specialist. I also trained with Michel Odent, Liliana Lammers, and Ina May Gaskin, so as you can see... I don't half @s$ anything I'm interested in. This is fantastic for you because I have spent countless hours learning and understanding that birth and postpartum are the most transformative seasons in a woman's life. What happens in birth, will stay with you for the rest of your life! I know from experience that as much as our bodies know how to grow and birth a baby, sometimes, the body or our minds act like a toddler at the checkout line of the supermarket after their mom said no to the candy bar -you know what I'm talking about- and throw a tantrum in the middle of the pregnancy, so having the support that you need is crucial. Evidence-based information, mindset, context, and intuition are essential components in pregnancy. Knowing what you want and don't want is equally important. You and your partner deserve to explore different options without bias because you have power and you should use it to make the choices that feel right to YOU. Birth is not a one-size-fits-all all! So I am committed to giving you the tools you need to feel empowered by information instead of scared of the what-ifs - Here's where the mindset comes into play. I am Venezuelan and live in Cape Coral, Fl with my husband Marcelo and four children, Bruno, Oliver, Giovanni, and Hannah - I know! I pick great names! 🤩

Leveraging my expertise as a licensed massage therapist, certified doula, and trauma-informed perinatal professional, I empower expecting and new parents with holistic support, blending therapeutic practices and personalized care for a transformative journey into parenthood.✨

Hey there! My name is Brittany aka Bejay. I am a married mother of five children ranging from 16 years old to 18 months old. I am located in Tampa, Florida serving in the Hillsborough county and surrounding areas. I am currently a Birth & Postpartum & infant care doula! When I was 18 years old I attending nursing school. Labor and delivery was my FAVORITE unit but I knew that, that was not the way I wanted to help birthing people. As my own family grew my desire to have an out of hospital birth increased. With my fourth and fifth pregnancies I was able to fulfil those desires with my sister acting as my doula. With the level of care I received I knew that being a birth worker was where I could help! My heart is to provide help to all families alike. Walking, standing, or squatting (LOL) along side them on their beautiful journey! No birth is the exact same so I strive to be not only supportive but inclusive as well! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wild and crazy family!

My name is Allison and I am your Unconquered Mama. I am a wife and mother to two beautiful little girls. It was during my first pregnancy that I started to have a desire to get into birth work. I noticed right away that pregnant and postpartum Mamas needed much more support than they were getting. Immediately after my traumatic pregnancy and postpartum period with my youngest daughter I knew it was time for me to step into a new role; so I became a Doula and Breastfeeding Educator so that no other Mama would have to go through the struggles that I went through. I want to help every Mama feel the way I did when I broke through my struggles and emerged UNCONQUERED!
