Find a Doula Near Me in Sarasota, FL

Birth and Postpartum Doula near Sarasota Hospital. Have assisted with dozens of births, childbirth classes & postpartum.

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!

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!
