The  birth of my daughter was a life changing experience for me. With my partner and doula by my side, I felt fully supported and empowered and now I aim to provide that same loving support to other birthing women. After her birth, I enrolled in CCRI's Nursing program and also began doula training with Birth Arts International. My goal is to share my skills, education, positivity and passion for birth with women and families in order to provide each of them with loving support they need, before, during and after childbirth. I will respect the mother's choices and help to keep her as comfortable as possible throughout her birth, as well as provide support prenatally. I am also a licensed esthetician with a focus on the changes that can happen to a woman's skin during pregnancy and beyond. I combine my skills and background to offer birth and postpartum support as well as skincare, pampering, and relaxation to my clients in order to truly celebrate the beauty of every birth.

Sage Fanucchi-Funes

Sage Doula Care
sff@sagedoulacare.org | 707.599.1533

I am a doula because I believe that all pregnant people deserve care that affirms autonomy and respects all during such a transformative moment, regardless of any identities they hold. Originally from California, I first heard of the term reproductive justice when I was 15 years old as a peer educator at the local Planned Parenthood. Since then I have been increasingly interested in the ways in which doula care intersects with birth and reproductive justice. I am a queer and trans friendly provider who has experience and training in LGBTQ healthcare. I am passionate about racial and class justice. I believe that the fight for justice begins at birth. Birth Justice exists when women and transfolks are empowered during pregnancy, labor, childbirth and postpartum to make healthy decisions for themselves and their babies. I believe that doula care can help achieve such justice on an individual level.

The transition to motherhood, for the 1st time or the 5th time, is an incredible transformation. As a birth and postpartum doula I work with the mother and her family to support that transition and to facilitate bonding with the new baby. My mission as a birth and postpartum doula is to provide non-biased, evidence-based support through pregnancy and beyond. Prior to my doula training I received a master's degree in clinical psychology. When I worked as a therapist I sought to provide my clients with skills they could utilize outside of my office. As a doula, I seek to support my clients through birth and postpartum so that they can confidently make decisions best suited to their wishes. I honed my research skills in graduate school and I keep those skills sharp by staying up-to-date on current best-practices for birth, postpartum and infant care. My doula practice aims to nurture, educate and empower families as they transition to parenthood. In my free time I enjoy spending time at the beach with my children, running races in support of Every Mother Counts and reading lots and lots of books.

I am passionate about supporting gentle, family centered birth- and in my services I seek to provide a unique, personal experience that allows families to journey through birth with confidence, and dignity. As a professional doula and photographer, I provide families with advocacy, devotion, encouragement and in that process create images that depict the power and tenderness of birth. My own births opened my eyes to the intense beauty of this process and I deeply want to honor that beauty in both my doula work and photography. Giving birth can transform a woman- it will challenge her, open her eyes to her power. It is an honor to be present, to witness and participate this amazing process.

Lauren Amand

Gentle Beginnings
laurenamand@gmail.com | 401-480-2460

I believe in the natural process of labor and birth. Giving birth provides women an opportunity for self-discovery and to strengthen the couples bond. Women remember their children's births for the rest of their lives. I strive to help make that memory a beautiful one and a source of strength for each woman and each couple. I have been a certified childbirth educator since 2003 after having been inspired by the beautiful, empowering births of my own children. My desire to support women and couples through this transforming process naturally grew into providing doula support. I have been providing birth and postpartum doula support since 2005 with the same philosophy that honors their experience and individuality. I am committed to educating women and couples about their options for gentle birth, helping them build trust in the natural process & providing nurturing doula support. With these ideals I have supported over 150 women and their partners.

As a doula, I see my role as providing emotional and physical preparation for birth.

Johanna Lonngren

A Pot Full of Joy
apotfullofjoy@gmail.com | 401-234-3935

As a doula I don't just want to help the woman that I serve experience the birth that they dream of, but also support them through pregnancy and after birth, as I believe this is often overlooked. I believe birth is best left to the natural way God designed us, and medical interventions are best left until actually medically necessary.

Ada Johnson

Hawthorn Community Birth
hawthorncommunitybirth@gmail.com | 401-415-0804

I’ve been a doula for over a decade and attended many births. I’m a Full Spectrum Doula who believes strongly in supporting and advocating for all birthing families in the way that works best for them. My passion for birth work is deeply connected to my commitment to reproductive justice, harm reduction, and health and healing justice. I specialize in working with families experiencing loss or who are pregnant after a loss, LGBTQ parents, and those who are looking for trauma-informed care. I’m in my final year of training to be a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, a body-centered trauma healing modality.

As a bereavement doula, I work with parents who are currently experiencing pregnancy loss, stillbirth or the death of an infant. I offer postpartum support for families who have experienced stillbirth or early infant loss. Support after loss is similar to postpartum doula care but with the addition of grief and trauma support as well as navigating the many additional logistics that come along with death. I facilitate ritual and ceremony as well as offer guidance in learning to parent a non-living child. Additionally, I see doula clients who have previously experienced pregnancy, stillbirth or infant loss and are currently pregnant with their rainbow baby. I also see clients who are concerned about current or past trauma affecting their current pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.

Keesler is committed to providing emotional and physical support to those who might not otherwise have any, or have less easy access to care. She understands that the idea of parenthood can be overwhelming and scary, and hopes to support every family in feeling more empowered and prepared for the birth of their child and helping smooth the transition into family life with your new little one at home.

Megan Bain

Barefoot Mama
meg@barefootmama.net | 401-486-6967

Becoming a doula was something that caught me by surprise. While I was pregnant, I realized that I needed more information about birth and my options. After the birth of my daughter, I felt a shift within myself and began taking steps towards a pretty big career change! (I had been teaching preschool for six years). I now find myself immersed in this amazing birth world and loving every minute. I enjoy helping families learn about their options and supporting them on their own, individual journeys. I believe birth is an amazing and empowering process. My job as a doula is to support families as they make choices about the kind of birth and postpartum experiences they would like to have.

The better educated I am, the better I can serve and support you. I am a mom of three, and I know firsthand how exciting and overwhelming the birth of a child can be. I also know how extra support during this time helps mom and the rest of the family adjust.

Kaeli Abrahams Sutton

Open Circle: Wellness + Education for Growing Families
kaeli@opencircleri.com | 401-338-5466

I believe that the births of our children are one of the most transformative experiences of our lives. I also believe that this transformative power is not dependent upon our birth following a particular path, but is available in any scenario. In my work with birthing women and couples, I focus on helping them understand the birth process, their choices in birthing, and medical interventions that they may encounter. I also work with the pregnant woman and her birth partner to explore inner tools they can develop to help them stay "centered" in the midst of the birth process. Working as a prenatal yoga instructor, birth educator, and perinatal massage therapist in addition to my doula practice, I often integrate these modalities with my doula care to further support families.

I worked as a public historian and museum educator for a few years in and around Rhode Island before deciding to focus my energies on a different passion of mine. I have always been passionate about birth and about the birth experience. As a child I once asked a relative what it felt like to be pregnant. I was so incredibly fascinated by the experience that I didn’t realize her answer could be anything less than glowing. Today I strive to have every mother respond to that question with positivity and serenity. Birth should be a sacred and beautiful experience for mother, baby and partners. As a doula my job is to make you as comfortable, both physically and emotionally, as possible throughout your birth experience. I strive to make every birth story a positive and satisfying one, how ever you may define that .
