Hi moms and dads! I am so excited to have the opportunity to serve you as you embark on the most beautiful journey in life- parenthood. My name is Carolina (pronounced CaroLEEna) and I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts with Colombian roots. I have lived in Orlando since the summer of 2000 and received my BA in International Relations, before deciding that the work that sets my soul on fire is helping mamas and kiddos live mindful, meaningful lives where they trust their intuition and learn to love themselves unconditionally. My goal as a doula is to help moms realize that they have the inner strength to achieve the pregnancy, birth and postpartum periods of their dreams. With my certification as a yoga teacher, I apply much of what I learned in my training within my birth support services.

Hey y’all! My name is Adisela, I’m a mom of three boys, a Full-Spectrum Doula, an Infant Microbiome Instructor & an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor located in Orlando, FL. My passion for birth work began when I was just 5 years old, at the birth of my first sibling. Since then, I have been fascinated with all things birth, postpartum and everything in between. I am always learning something new and enrolled in some course that pertains to birth, postpartum, holistic healing and parenting. My practice is an unbiased, evidence-based and holistic hub of love, resources and education. I meet you where you need support the most, focusing on your whole being. However you birth, whatever answers and knowledge you seek, you will always be met with warm, open arms.

I believe that childbirth is very intense, hard work, but is not designed to be traumatic, that children are a blessing from the Lord, and in most cases, the discomfort that comes with the WORK of childbirth can be managed well through mental, emotional, physical and spiritual conditioning to promote a smoother transition from the womb to the world.. It is my pleasure to teach and guide parents how to do just that.

When you know better, you BIRTH better.

Hi there, My name is Carla and my motto is: be who you needed when you were in need. I have passionately served as a doula for others for years, without even knowing that this profession existed. I believe that doulas are angels created to care for women while they showcase their superpowers and fulfilling the most important mission yet. I've had the honor to carry a little human earth side myself. However, my birth story was not what I had wished for. I can proudly say that becoming a doula is my way of living by my motto. My dream is to assist and care for as many women (and their families) as possible before, during, and after birth.
