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 became a doula to help families experience pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with as much clarity, joy, and meaning as possible.
I am drawn to birthwork because the perinatal period was transformative for me, and it opened my eyes to how much people are expected to navigate without enough support, education, or ritual.
As I learned about the work doulas do, I was moved by the creativity and depth of care doulas offer - practical, emotional, educational, and deeply human support.
I was especially attracted to the intersection of healthcare and holistic care that doulas provide alongside of medical providers and complimentary practitioners. Studies have shown that outcomes of labor and delivery with a doula are better than without one. It’s also intuitive: having a strong advocate, a knowledgeable doula, and a community of birthworkers to support your perinatal journey should lead to birth with less injury, less intervention, and more connection with your family.
As your doula, I am patient, kind, and open to your background and experiences. I offer nonjudgemental support for your choices, your preferences, and your ideas. I will provide you with evidence-based information and resources, and am available to talk deeply about personal decisions that often arise during pregnancy.
From experience, I know that difficult things can happen during the perinatal period, and I am a doula who will walk the road with you when both good and hard things come up. I am someone who can sit with uncertainty, adapt when things change, and stay alongside you through whatever unfolds. I'd love to help you with your perinatal journey.

I am a mom of 3 and have been a Labor Doula since 2018. I have a deep passion to support parents on their journey welcoming their new bundle of joy. Supporting parents emotionally educationally physically and mentally doing the perinatal period.

Hello! For 10+ years I've been lucky enough to use some of these titles: Birth Doula, Certified Perinatal Doula, HypnoDoula, Birth Photographer, GentleBirth Instructor, and Evidence Based Birth Instructor.
I facilitate monthly Evidence Based Birth classes to assist expectant parents and partners with learning to navigate the hospital system, strong advocacy skills, head game prep techniques and advanced comfort measures (including TENS, peanut ball, acupressure, and Spinning Babies) all with the goal of a positive birth experience in mind. We assist in pairing everyone with a provider and birth setting that best fits your goals for your birth, is evidence based and statistically safe, and then we focus on mental preparation for birth and parenting to build confidence and emotional resilience.
Bellwether Doulas believe that no one supports the birthing parent better than their partner, so whole family support is our focus.
You only birth a baby once! You and your partner deserve a fun (yes, fun!), emotionally and physically supported experience, not just a healthy outcome. There's no such thing as "too much support"!

Hi, I'm Lisa! I'm a Certified Doula based in Smithfield, Rhode Island, and I'm here to walk alongside you during one of the most profound journeys of your life. I proudly serve mothers and families across Northern Rhode Island's rural communities, bringing personalized support right to your door.

My path to Doula work is rooted in over 20 years of hands-on experience in health, wellness, and community care right here in Rhode Island. As a Health Equity Zone Director at Tri-County Community Action Agency, I've spent years connecting families in our communities to the resources, support, and compassion they deserve — important work that has only deepened my commitment to showing up for people during life's most meaningful moments.

Before that, I spent more than a decade with the YMCA in progressive leadership roles — directing youth and family programs, overseeing early childhood development programs, managing childcare operations across multiple sites, and building the kind of trusting relationships that make real support possible. That community-first mindset is at the heart of everything I do as a doula.

I'm also a Rhode Island Certified Community Health Worker, and I bring that whole-person, equity-centered lens to my work. I believe every expecting mother and family deserves a calm, informed, and encouraging presence by their side — and that's exactly the experience I'm committed to providing.

I travel to you — because your comfort matters, and birth doesn't wait.

Whether you're a first-time mom or growing your family, I'd be honored to be part of your story.

Hi, I’m Michelle, a Rhode Island doula and mom of two boys, passionate about supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, the postpartum period, and the transition into parenthood.
I provide compassionate, nurturing support to help families feel informed, empowered, and cared for throughout their journey.
My passion for birth work began with the support I received during my own first labor, an experience that inspired my career in women’s health. I have worked in the OB/GYN field for over 20 years, including 11 years in an OB/GYN office, supporting expectant mothers and easing anxieties during pregnancy and birth.
After supporting friends through labor and the fourth trimester, I realized my heart was truly in doula work. I believe birth is not only about welcoming a baby, but also about caring for and supporting the mother every step of the way.

Hi, I’m Arianna! Im a certified Perinatal Doula (CPD) in Rhode Island annd Certified Labor Doula with ProDoula serving families throughout Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts. Becoming a mother deepened my passion for supporting women during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives, and it’s truly an honor to walk alongside families as they welcome a new baby.Before becoming a doula, I spent eight years in healthcare, caring for adults and children in critical care. That experience taught me how to remain calm during stressful situations, advocate with compassion, and communicate clearly. I’m there to help explain medical terminology and procedures in a way that’s easy to understand, encourage you to ask questions, and help you feel confident communicating with your healthcare team—while always respecting that medical decisions are made between you and your providers. I’m currently accepting most RI health insurances and also OOP. 

Outside of birth work, I’m passionate about prenatal and postpartum fitness, nutrition, and helping women feel strong throughout every stage of motherhood. I believe caring for your body is just as important as preparing for your birth, and I love supporting moms as they build strength, recover, and thrive after welcoming their baby.

Hello! My name is Foluke,
I am a Community Outreach Perinatal Educator (COPE) certified full-spectrum doula through the Commonsense Childbirth Institute. I believe no one should have to navigate pregnancy, birth, or postpartum alone, and that every family deserves compassionate, respectful support throughout their journey.
At Abiyamo Birth, I honor the intuition and wisdom you already carry as a birthing person. My role is to provide education, encouragement, advocacy, and unwavering support so you can make the decisions that feel right for you and your family.
I welcome families of all backgrounds, identities, and birth preferences. As a Christian, I am happy to support families aiming to bring God into the birth process and am committed to praying for each of my clients as they navigate this journey.
Everyone deserves to have a beautiful birth story and I feel blessed to be a part of yours!

I have always had a reverence for and a fascination with birth. I completed my birth doula training with Carriage House Birth, of Brooklyn, in 2023.
Aside from this training, I have been doula-curious for most of my adult life. I have attended friend’s births before I even understood what a doula was. My formal training gave me a unique lens through which I approach the birth space now. Learning from experienced doulas, mentors, esteemed birth educators, and antiracist and LGBTQIA+ activists has provided me with a solid base from which I support my clients. It has also allowed me to better examine the aspects of bias, privilege, race, and inequalities, which all intersect the birthing process.
I currently sit on the board of Doulas of Rhode Island as a membership coordinator for our non-profit organization.

I am quick to bond with my clients and form deep friendships that outlast the birthing space. Witnessing new life enter the world is an honor and a privilege that I feel lucky to be a part of.
I love supporting people as they themselves are reborn through the act of birth itself.

With over 27 years of nursing experience and certification as a full-spectrum doula, I bring a strong foundation of clinical expertise and attentive, hands-on care to families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My background in neonatal intensive care and maternal health has prepared me to guide families through both joyful milestones and high-risk situations with steady presence, clear communication, and thoughtful clinical insight.

As a certified CPR instructor and experienced NICU nurse, I have developed a keen awareness of the physical and emotional needs of infants and their families. I am skilled at recognizing subtle changes in a newborn’s condition, teaching parents how to respond with confidence, and helping them navigate moments of fear or uncertainty with practical guidance and reassurance.

Becoming a full-spectrum doula was a natural extension of my commitment to maternal and infant health. I offer continuous, one-on-one care—explaining medical information in understandable terms, helping families weigh their options, and remaining by their side through labor and early parenting. Whether guiding breathing techniques during contractions or helping a parent feel comfortable holding their baby for the first time, I focus on creating moments where families feel capable and informed.

In addition to my doula services, I also offer placenta encapsulation services, providing families with an additional option for postpartum support and recovery.

I founded Azure Coast Doula, LLC to provide individualized, family-centered care that reflects each person’s values and needs. My goal is to create an environment where families feel listened to, prepared for what lies ahead, and confident in their ability to care for themselves and their newborn from pregnancy through the postpartum period.

Hi I'm Jillian! Registered Nurse, mom of two, and Certified Full Spectrum Doula. After more than a decade in emergency and critical care nursing, my own experience through recurrent pregnancy loss, IVF, pregnancy after loss, and postpartum led me to this work in a deeply personal way. 

I combine evidence-based knowledge with compassionate, nonjudgmental support to help families feel informed, empowered, and less alone. Whether you're navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum or loss, my goal is to meet you with steady support and care that honors your unique journey.

I believe everyone deserves compassionate support through every chapter of building a family.

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.

My name is Elana (e-lawn-ah) and I am ready to empower, encourage and have fun. I bring my core values of honesty, respect, and positive growth to all things pregnancy, birth, and infancy. I am excited to share a new resource for parents called respectful caregiving. My continuing education in Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) has immensely impacted my respectful caregiving career and now I am intertwining these ideas into the birth and postpartum world! I am a trained DONA Birth Doula and seasoned Youth Worker with 10+ years of early childhood experience. Let's do this!

BirdSong Doula Care offers compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally humble support through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and newborn care.
My goal is to create an inclusive environment where you feel truly seen and empowered.
To ensure every family receives the nurturing care they deserve, services are offered on an accessible sliding scale.

I am a research scientist and a doula.
The birth of my children has transformed me as I was fascinated with the miracle of birthing.
I’ve been providing birth and postpartum support for women around me since 2011 they too can experience this life-changing event in the most pleasurable and empowering way.
I strive to provide informed, loving and non judgmental support during and after childbirth, pregnancy and postpartum childrearing so you can make the best start for you, your baby and your family.
I would be honored to be part of your birth team to help achieve your dream birth.
