Zoë’s interest in birth and the immediate postpartum transition developed while being a childcare provider and having concentrated, immersive experiences with young families. As a nanny for more than fourteen years, Zoë has felt humbled and honored to share life with parents, infants, and young children. Her approach to family and childcare is distinguished by being respectful, grounded, and calm.

In recent years, Zoë has expanded her practice by deepening her knowledge and hands-on experience of perinatal care through specialized training and certification work.

She feels strongly about smoothing the transition to parenthood by acknowledging and validating each person’s lived experience, emotions, and education while supporting partner(s) inclusivity, sibling transitions, and allowing room for all the letting go and growth that accompanies change.

Grounded in education that is trauma-informed and evidence-based, Zoë’s work is also influenced and inspired by yoga, a love for nature, and interconnection. She has a unique respect for the liminal spaces surrounding grief and their relation to contentment and joy.

Maryssa’s son was born in January 2022 and she had felt pretty prepared after working with babies and toddlers for over 10 years prior to becoming a mom. She had a really hard time adjusting and suffered from PPD. Maryssa was shocked at the lack of support given to parents in the first year of life and gives that support that she needed to as many families as possible. Maryssa loves seeing new parents gaining confidence - she enjoys offering guidance when someone is feeling lost and helping them feel excitement with their successes. Maryssa often is told she makes others feel comfortable and at ease quickly, and has a very calm temperament which she has found reassuring for new parents, and also excels working with families on their second child and beyond. Maryssa is a certified postpartum doula residing in the south shore of Massachusetts, and is currently working towards her birth certification as well.

Jacqui is a birth and postpartum doula, videographer, photographer and a mother of three. She believes that doula support and informed choice can make a vast difference in how a person crosses the threshold into parenthood. She is dedicated to helping clients feel supported, prepared and empowered as they become parents. 

Jacqui was raised in a big family and has held and cared for babies her whole life. She brings grounded warmth to her clients, providing guidance, evidence-based information and physical support. Her ultimate goal is to guide and hold supportive space for her clients, so they can tap into their own parental instincts, growing a little more confident each day.

Jacqui's approach is also informed by her personal experiences through her own three (very different) labor experiences, which earned her a broad respect for the unpredictable nature of birth, the empowering possibilities of birth and the vital need of in-person support during the postpartum period. She has experienced loss, labored three times with doula support (both in-person and remote), navigated varying complications and interventions in both hospitals and birth centers. She is endlessly fascinated by the processes of birth and raising humans. She believes wholeheartedly in the transformative power of both.

Jacqui also loves her kids' wild and hilarious imaginations, playing and coaching hockey, lifting weights, raising backyard chickens and being outdoors with her family.

Courtney is a former nanny turned Newborn Care Specialist/Postpartum Doula. After working as a career nanny for over a decade, Courtney decided to pivot and take her lifelong love of babies and her more recently newfound appreciation of the postpartum period and turn it into a fulfilling and rewarding career as a postpartum doula. 

Inspired in part by her own postpartum experiences, Courtney hopes to empower, encourage and support every new parent who crosses her path. While Courtney enjoys working with a variety of families, she is particularly passionate about working with those who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community as well as single parents by choice (Before meeting her now wife, Courtney started out as a Single Mom By Choice to her oldest daughter). 

In addition to postpartum support, Courtney also hopes to support those who are suffering with Hyperemesis Gravidarum. After surviving two HG pregnancies, she realized how little support and understanding there really is out there for those who suffer from HG. As someone whose partner had to take on 99% of the household responsibilities during their HG experience, Courtney hopes to provide both practical and emotional support to those currently struggling with the horrific condition. 

Courtney currently lives on the North Shore with her wife, their two daughters and three cats.

Rachel believes in meeting you where you are—mentally, physically, and emotionally. She’s all about matching your vibe and creating a safe, open-minded, and nonjudgmental space for you to advocate for your own needs and desires throughout your journey. No matter what you’re going through, Rachel will walk beside you, ready to support you in whatever way feels right for you.

As a Queer and polyamorous individual, Rachel prioritizes using gender-inclusive language and affirms the experiences of LGBTQIA+ folks, especially when it comes to birth, family dynamics, and identities outside the traditional binary.

Rachel has a special passion for postpartum care, helping clients navigate this phase of life with confidence, empowerment, and wellbeing. With experience as a nanny, lifeguard, gymnastics coach, waitress, & domestic violence advocate, Rachel’s diverse background has shaped her approach to doula work.

Randi began supporting her friends and family members through the newborn phase and loving every second of it!

Kate is a kind, attentive, dedicated doula, who loves supporting parents and their babies. Being a doula comes full circle for her - she started nursing school to eventually became a midwife but then shifted her path to being a school teacher for many years. Kate loved helping her students find their passion for learning & self-confidence.

After teaching, she became a Certified Nursing Assistant and focused on elder care. Similar to her teaching approach, Kate’s elder care was focused on building relationships and trust. Her reliability, relentlessly cheerfulness and levelheadedness allowed her to support families and individuals through challenging situations such as dementia, isolation, and loss of independence.

As a doula, Kate brings this approach to her work and is attune to others, so she meets them wherever they’re at. Sometimes that means holding space for a new parent who is feeling overwhelmed, other times that means literally holding a baby so that parents can sleep. Having a new baby can be a really vulnerable time and Kate is here as an extra set of hands to care for the whole family and to remind parents to care for themselves. She is there to take the pressure off and to share tips, if needed.

Outside of doula work, Kate loves being with family, doing family trips, cooking, learning new things, and binge watching a good show. Her advice to new parents is to remember you are doing an amazing job and will learn from the baby what he/she needs.

Jenny’s interest in supporting birthing people goes back many years. While living in California in the mid-1990s, she acted as labor companion for a pair of close friends who were expecting their first child. She found the experience incredibly powerful and uplifting. It literally changed Jenny’s life, and pursuing a career in birth support became a long-harbored dream of hers.

In 2005, the birth of Jenny’s son added a completely different perspective to her experience. After a bout with breast cancer and struggling with infertility, she eventually got pregnant with the help of a medicated IUI, and went on to have a mostly complication-free pregnancy. Unfortunately, once she and her partner found themselves in the labor and delivery room, they faced questions for which they had no answers. Jenny’s son was born vaginally, with no complications, but her experience of his birth left her feeling frustrated and unhappy with herself and her choices. Jenny realized the critical importance of in-depth prenatal education, a plan to cope with labor, and strong perinatal support, especially for first-time parents. This strengthened her resolve to help others avoid the same situation.

In 2017, Jenny made the decision to put her graphic design career on the back burner, and take the plunge to become a birth doula. While she was excited about the chance to finally put her dream into action, it wasn’t until she had finished her training and joined the doula community that Jenny really understood the passion she has for birthwork. It is a calling in the truest sense of the word, and Jenny is beyond grateful to have the opportunity to engage in such meaningful work. After a few years of birthwork, Jenny decided to pursue a postpartum doula certification to increase the value of her follow-up work with birth clients. The early weeks and months of parenting is a time of such vulnerability for parents, and such high need for infants, that it no longer made sense to her to offer birth support alone. Jenny is now honored to assist her clients during the hugely steep learning curve that comes after birth.

When Jenny is not supporting perinatal clients, she is an independent book designer and also enjoys kayaking the beautiful lakes and rivers near her home, knitting, exploring the history of New England, & gardening.
