Hi, I’m Hailey! I am a Certified Perinatal Doula, as well as a Postpartum Doula.
I live in Southern Rhode Island with my husband and our golden doodle, and golden retriever. I spend most of my time at the beach or on daily trips for fun food and antiques! 

I started my journey as a Postpartum Doula in 2016, offering in-home support. Educating families about newborn care. Assisting with daily needs. From meal preparation, light housekeeping and organizing the home. Partner and sibling adjustment, and feeding support.  

In 2019 I became a Perinatal Doula, working in a partnership. Together we offer evidence based support, and guiding families to creating a well supported birthing experience.

In 2023 I co-founded Southern Rhode Island Parents Circle. Offering expecting parent and postpartum parents groups. 

Growing, nurturing & starting a family can be challenging. Wherever you are on your parenting journey, I'm here to support you on your unique path through conversations, open heartiness & collaboration. 

Hey there, I'm Tara (she/her), a Full Spectrum Doula and Perinatal Educator in Rhode Island and the owner of Perennial Perinatal.

My mission is to create empowered, informed, and autonomous birthing experiences for all -- WOC, LGBTQIA+, Trying To Conceive (TTC), 35+, etc. -- through education, collaboration, and advocacy.
With me, you can imagine a collaborative and holistic learning experience. You'll receive empowered, informed, and patient-centered care during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

With over 35 years experience and a passion for supporting breastfeeding, I’m here for your postpartum and breastfeeding/pumping/bottle feeding needs.

My home visits after birth are really helpful; setting up comfortable places to nurse and prioritizing all the advice/instructions you received during the birthing process.

The first fourteen days are very important, as you and your baby learn together and develop a breastfeeding partnership.

The goals for feeding your child are yours; whether providing human milk for six days, six weeks or six months, we take one day at time.

I accept insurance from BCBSRI. Neighborhood Health, Tufts RI, United Health RI and RI Medicaid.

Please consider using an insurance home visit for pre-natal breast feeding education. Learn the “lactation language” and understand what interventions may be offered to you during your postpartum hospital stay.

Hi, I’m Paula! I am a Mama to two adult daughters. I live in a small town in Massachusetts with my husband, our younger daughter, and our two rescue dogs, Meeko & Emme. I loved being a Stay-at-Home-Mama, raising our daughters and have worked in Early Childhood Education for most of my life, most recently, as an Infant Teacher in a Childcare Center.

In 2021, I began my journey to become a Postpartum Doula and in the early Spring of 2023, I was “officially” a Certified Postpartum Doula through Doula Trainings International (dti)!

I have been a proud Volunteer “Baby Snuggler” at my local hospital where I helped care for newborn babies in the Newborn Nursery, as well as, give Mama/birthing person rest during the important and precious hours and days after babies are born.

I have always felt drawn to supporting families & caring for children, beginning at the age 12 as a “mother’s helper” for our neighbor’s toddler. Although the “titles” changed through the years: SPED camp counselor, Assistant Teacher/Tutor, and Infant Teacher, what remained the same is: I am a caregiver.

In 2020, I realized that I had a desire to find a heart-centered career that would combine my passions: supporting mamas/birth persons, caring for babies, supporting dads/partners and helping families thrive. I am excited to have found my true career path in life, what I was meant to be: a Postpartum Doula!

When I am not doing all things Postpartum Doula, I love spending time with my family, gardening, decorating my home, enjoying all of New England’s seasons, cheering on the Boston Bruins, and listening to my favorite band, U2.

Hello 🌸

Hi, My name is Niurka Quiñonez; I am a Full Spectrum (Birth and Postpartum) Doula and Perinatal Educator. In 2012, the thought of becoming a doula arose when my dearest friend gave birth; I felt a passion to be a part of her journey. I have a bachelor's degree in Health Studies focusing on Health Promotion, Human Development and Family Studies, and a minor in African-American Studies. I have been in the health field for ten years: mental health, emotional health, sensual health, sexual health, body health, and soul health (the health of the soul) ♡

As a doula, I will create a safe, brave, non-judgmental space to uplift families with affirming support as big feelings are being navigated. As the founder and owner of Blooming Moon, the vision is to provide a holistic-minded approach to health with trauma informed care to help bridge gaps in the current social and medical support systems. I am excited to meet you and listen to your stories. My goal is to empower you to bloom in this new chapter. 🌸

*Fluent in English and Spanish*

I am an artist, mother of four, experienced full spectrum doula and certified lactation counselor in Providence, Rhode Island. Currently I am also co-founder and board member of the Rhode Island Birth Worker Co-op and former co-president of Doulas of RI from 2018-2021. I spend my days pandemic parenting with my awesome husband, restoring our old house on Smith Hill, and supporting familles birthing in all birth settings in their homes and via telemedicine. My experience includes supporting families in physiologic birth, inductions, cesarean birth, VBAC, history of trauma, loss, and different access needs. I practice inclusive care, open to anyone and everyone. During the time of COVID-9, I see this access to dedicated, in-person care as especially vital for childbearing families. It has been an honor to safely care for families during this pandemic.

"I love being a doula, deep down in my soul." 
Hi, I’m Emerald “EmDoula” Ortiz…I am a full spectrum doula certified as a Community Outreach Perinatal Educator (COPE) through Commonsense Childbirth Institute which encompasses childbirth education, birth doula and lactation support. 
I’m also trained by Shafia Monroe Consulting (SMC), as a culturally competent full circle doula.

Hi, I'm Stacey Bodziony. I'm a DONA International Certified Postpartum Doula, a Rhode Island Certified Perinatal Doula, Certified Newborn Care Specialist and mother of three. I've been supporting mothers and children since 1991.

Bringing a new baby into your life is exhausting and exhilarating, all at once! In my work with families I've found that what parents need most at this time is someone to support them without judgement as they navigate these early days. (And naps, of course!) I'll be there to help you figure it all out.

I specialize in overnight and daytime postpartum support and newborn care as both a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist. I came into this work in 2021 after a 14-year journey of babysitting, nannying, and a growing curiosity in child development and supporting the entire family.
I also have a master’s degree in child and adolescent development, with a minor in early childhood mental health.
Learning about the importance of early child-parent relationships and of supporting mental health for positive child and family development greatly inform my approach of caring and supporting local families. I’m also Certified Perinatal Doula (RI) and am in-network with BCBSRI and NHPRI for insurance-covered daytime postpartum support. 

In 2016, I began my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at The University of Texas at Austin, on a pre-medicine track to become an OBGYN. I quickly realized that this dream of mine would consume my twenties and likely postpone starting a family. A shift from pre-medicine to public health allowed me to pursue my passion of maternal health without potentially sacrificing my biggest dream in life: becoming a mom.
Fast forward seven years to now and I have completed my Master of Public Health (MPH), have a job in the public health field which I love, but desire a more active role in improving maternal health outcomes. I began researching doula training opportunities and found Doula Trainings International (DTI), an organization that emphasizes autonomy, cultural humility, evidence-based research, and collaborative entrepreneurship, all things that I stand for as a public health practitioner and now a doula.

Hi Mamas, Hi Parents. I am Marianna.

I believe having a postpartum team ready and by your side is as important as packing the hospital bag.

As your Doula I become the most valuable member of your postpartum team. By having me by your side, you can be more engaged in immersing yourself in the experience of bonding with your newborn and practice self care. As a Postpartum Doula and a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, and a Pediatric Sleep expert, I have been working with families with infants all over the world for decades.

I take care of you, so you can take care of your baby, your precious bundle of joy!

My journey to this calling/career is nothing short of divine intervention. A good friend of mine, who is an amazing Doula, was sitting beside me at a high school band concert in 2018, at which our sons were both performing. I had just completed my Reiki Master Teacher certification, and I asked her opinion about how to best integrate Reiki into a profession that helps people. She asked me if I had ever considered becoming a Doula. I was so intrigued because at that point I had 40 years of experience caring for babies and children. Not only had I begun baby sitting at a young age for my family and friends, I was a Nanny through college and a daycare worker while I was raising my own children three children who are now adults. I imagined that Reiki (healing energy work) coupled with my Psychology degree would mesh well with Doula work. It was a full circle moment, and I spent the next two years preparing for Postpartum Doula certification.

Five years later I am still humbled by the beauty of the tender and at times tumultuous postpartum metamorphosis of each family that I support. I fell in love with doing overnights exclusively because it allows an opportunity to not only provide healing rest and sleep to parents, it’s a quiet time to spend with one or both parents discussing any concerns, answering questions, or simply listening.

While baby sleeps, I take care of nursery organization, bottle and pump part washing and sterilization, and light housework, which lessens the workload on new parents the next morning.

Honestly, it never feels like “work” because it brings me genuine joy to support and empower families.

I’m reminded often of when my adult children were brand new, and how much my babies and I would have benefited from Doula support, and that fuels my desire to continue growing, learning, and serving.

My name is Latisha Michel. I’m a dedicated wife & mother of 5. I’m also the Founder of Ready Set Latch Go, a service for Prenatal, Birth, Postpartum & Breastfeeding Support along with navigation and connecting to other services warranted based on individual needs.
My passion for becoming a Doula stems from my own experiences & vast history with supporting my family & friends over the past 24 years. Because of my own experiences, my goal is to ensure that the mom feels heard, supported & empowered during her birth. Supports are also offered for her team to help heighten the confidence for all to support mom as well.
I've adopted the motto that "Birth isn't something we suffer, but something that we actively do and exult in" and my hope is that you will do just that.

Originally from the UK I have been supporting families with infants and children for over 30 years.
I have had the honor of volunteering at Women and Infants hospital with boarder babies and spent time as a preschool teacher too.
Babies are my passion and I continue to support families in RI and nationwide whether living in or overnights .
I reside in the beautiful waterside town of Bristol , living with my daughter and two cats. 

Hey everyone, my name is Claire and I am a Full Spectrum Doula and placenta Encapsulator.
I received my college degree in Health Sciences at URI and Doula training from Commonsense Childbirth Institute.
I am bilingual and my goal is to serve both English and Spanish speaking people. My educational background and doula training has given me the tools in order to help my community so birthing people are better assisted during their pregnancy and labor. I believe that everyone should have a doula by their side supporting and advocating for them. My research proved to me that maternal health must be improved in order to ensure the safety of both baby and mom. I believe that having a Doula who both cares about your health and your power is a great way to feel confident during your childbirth experience.

I am a CAPPA certified Postpartum Doula, a trained Newborn Care Specialist and Lactation Educator.

I am a mom to one daughter and auntie to many nieces and nephews.
People refer to me as the "Baby Whisperer". "Give the fussy baby to Tonya!" I often hear. I've loved babies and children since I was a teenager. I'm the youngest of 10 children in my family so I've had many years of experience with babies in our growing family.

Headed into 2025 I bring 4 yrs experience specific to this role. I left my corporate job because I believe moms and their families need support during the postpartum period and that support can vary from family to family. I love diving in with you to figure it out and tweak it as we go, catering to you, your day, even your specific momentary needs, as you and your baby's needs change.

Support looks different for each client. The goal is to come along side and support you in that moment in that day/night. I love bringing a sense of calm and peace while instilling you with confidence that ‘you can do this’ and I’m here to walk thru it with you. One shift you might need me to make a meal or tidy up the house....Other times you might want to sit down to talk and share what is going on emotionally. Maybe you need a shower, a nap, just a little time to breathe, eat etc. Tasks may vary from dishes, baby laundry, daytime or overnight feeds, to education and support regarding breast and bottle feeding, and paced feed if you wish to do both ……and my favorite, sleep conditioning, not to be mistaken for sleep training. I apply and provide tools while I’m there with your baby, and as you are interested, share all my tips and tricks with you so you can also apply them and sleep when I’m not there on an overnight shift.

I provide daytime and overnight care so you can feel your best for yourself, baby and partner. Happy, rested mama, happy home! (overnights are my favorite, helping you lay an amazing overnight scene for you to enjoy and practice if you wish). I will be there for you in all these things and everything in between. I look forward to serving you and your family during this amazing adventure!
