I transitioned from a decade of nannying to becoming a postpartum doula five years ago to focus on supporting new families adjusting to having a newborn. Each family is unique, so my support varies based on their specific needs, offering tailored care to empower and assist them through the beautiful but challenging journey of early parenthood.

Care philosophy

My postpartum doula care philosophy is centered on providing compassionate, nonjudgmental support to new parents. I aim to empower families through practical assistance, emotional guidance, and evidence-based information, fostering confidence, well-being, and security during the postpartum period.

    I had the absolute pleasure of working with Alexandra during my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first meeting, I knew I was in good hands.

    Throughout my pregnancy, Alexandra was a constant source of support and knowledge. She answered all my questions with patience and provided invaluable advice that helped me feel confident and prepared. Her calming presence and reassuring words were exactly what I needed during this exciting but also overwhelming time.

    During labor, Alexandra was nothing short of amazing. She stayed by my side the entire time, using a variety of techniques to help manage my pain and keep me calm. Her expertise in massage, breathing exercises, and labor positions made a huge difference in my birth experience. I felt empowered and supported, knowing she was there every step of the way.

    After the birth, Alexandra continued to provide incredible support. She visited us at home, checked in on both me and the baby, and offered guidance on breastfeeding and newborn care. Her emotional support was invaluable as we adjusted to life as new parents.

    Alexandra’s dedication, compassion, and professionalism exceeded all my expectations. She played a crucial role in making my birth experience positive and memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Alexandra o any expecting parents. Her support was truly a gift, and I am forever grateful.

I am a certified postpartum and infant care doula. I am working towards becoming a full spectrum doula and have offered labor doula support. I have 6 children of my own (natural deliveries) and believe that my experiences have fortified my ability to offer valuable support. I decided to start my practice focusing on postpartum care since I know how challenging it can be welcoming a new baby into your home (especially with siblings). There has historically been so much focus and attention given to the new baby and mothers can be disregarded and made to feel like they need to be able to spring back into action - far too quickly. It is my hope that the families I assist can relax and take in the early days knowing that someone is there for them and that their homes will continue to be cared for while they bond with their baby (babies).

Care philosophy

I believe we should move away from approaching birth with fear and welcome it with joy - armed with support and resources to try to attain the experience YOU want. I am an advocate for natural birth but I am here to support whatever experience you wish to have. The fourth trimester deserves just as much attention if not more. My goal is to help support women in ways that are truly meaningful.

I've been told my style and personality is, mother-like comforting with a strong sense of advocacy for all individuals.

Every birth is different, and every birthing individual is as well, my honor for you, is to help the end goal be the same by providing the best care possible. I believe in a whole family approach, I never want you to feel alone with me at your side. I believe in realistic expectations, I want to help you be optimistic about your practical range of possibilities. I believe this can be accomplished by achieving realistic expectations.

    Paulette was my postpartum doula, without her help I do not how I would have survived as a first time mom. Having her helping feed my baby and rocking him to sleep so I could get rest, gave me peace of mind and allowed me to relax and get rest to be the best me for my baby. Paulette reminded me daily to take care of me too and helped me with a lot while I recovered from my C-Section.

Womb Bloom provides trauma informed full spectrum doula care to folks throughout their family planning, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and/or hormonal balancing journey. We strongly believe that our womb’s cycle tells us the story of our overall health and should be regarded as our 5th vital sign. We are located in Miami, FL and provide virtual support all across the US! Holistic womb wellness throughout the reproductive life span is a top priority for us as we educate + inspire our clients using nature’s medicine in herbs, oils, and nutritious foods coupled with movement, reflective shadow work, and so much more. I answered my calling of becoming a doula after joining the Peace Corps as a community health educator in Ethiopia. Here, I was trained on breastfeeding practices, nutrition for newborns + infants, as well as connecting with and supporting new mothers in the Oromia region of Ethiopia. Sadly, due to the pandemic, all volunteers were evacuated back to the states in March 2020. Lost, confused, and worried about my next steps, all I knew was that I wanted to work with and work for the magical and resilient womb. So here we are, making the dream come to fruition!

Care philosophy

I help birthers dismantle common fears surrounding childbirth and help prepare them for a fruitful + restful postpartum period. I am passionate about sharing evidence based ancestral + ancient knowledge regarding womb wellness throughout family planning, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

I'm a ProDoula Certified Postpartum Doula/ Infant Care Specialist serving San Diego county. I have also attended DONA approved Introduction to Childbirth for Doulas and am currently in training to be a certified Infant Feeding Specialist Prodoula. I currently specialize in overnight support in the San Diego area. I am committed to continuing to learn and expand my skills and knowledge to ensure that I am a valuable resource and support to people. My passion for offering support in the birth space started after I had my first child where I suffered great trauma from birth to postpartum. Lacking support during birth and postpartum made me realize how much support is needed in the birth space and beyond. Keeping a heart-centered approach to holistic support is my goal and I aspire to keep this in mind as I serve families in this space and beyond. I feel beyond grateful to be able to support families and be able to continue to serve the community with my knowledge, skills, and passion.

Care philosophy

I want to be a vessel of support for people and meet them where they are in their journey. I passionately advocate for informed consent, bodily autonomy, and cultural relevance. I want to offer support not only for physical needs but also aid in mental, emotional, and spiritual healing through acknowledgment of the whole person (mind, body, and soul) for Mother, Baby and Family

Postpartum Doula Services: FAQs

For most parents, the transition into early parenthood is hard. Postpartum doulas in Hollywood, FL offer all sorts of practical, physical, informational and emotional support to new parents. Postpartum doulas in Hollywood, FL offer a wide range of after-birth support services, including:

Some parents require additional physical and emotional support due to their specific situation, lack of family support, or their particular lifestyle. A postpartum doula positively affects the entire family, as many postpartum doulas are involved in sibling care, housework chores, and educating clients on childcare information/techniques.

To find a postpartum doula in Hollywood, FL, most parents recommend creating a job post on Meela and having uniquely qualified postpartum doulas near you (in your budget) reach out to you through the Meela app.

The cost of a postpartum doula in Hollywood, FL can range from $26 to $38 per hour.

When hiring a postpartum doula in Hollywood, FL, you and your postpartum doula will discuss and agree upon a fee structure, and your doula will send you itemized invoices through Meela, which you can pay securely through the app.

A postpartum doula in Hollywood, FL is meant to help the entire family and their role is not just limited to the birthing parent and newborn. A doula provides physical and emotional support to parents and siblings, but they also offer information and advice regarding how to feed, bathe, swaddle, and soothe the baby.

They also often help with postpartum depression issues, and are considered child care “consultants” rather than medical professionals. Many postpartum doulas in Hollywood, FL offer a range of services that can help with parents trying to adjust to a newborn child. These services often include:

  • Sibling care
  • Assist with household chores
  • Parent-baby bonding
  • Physical and emotional recovery
  • Support to parents and extended family

A postpartum doula in Hollywood, FL can have a lasting positive impact on a family and help them feel more confident about their parenting role and the way that they feed and nurture their baby. They might offer advice regarding feeding, bathing, and parent-baby bonding.

It is important to note that a postpartum doula might offer advice but is not expected to provide medical care of any kind or serve as a replacement to an accredited physician. Postpartum doulas are also not qualified to prescribe medication.

Many new parents want to know about certified postpartum doulas and how exactly they are certified. Since the demand for postpartum doulas has greatly expanded in the last several years, the number of reputable postpartum doula training and certification programs has grown in Hollywood, FL. Training criteria can differ from program to program, but most follow a similar curriculum which includes core academic curriculum and practical hours and real-life care experience.

One of the most common national postpartum doula training certifications comes from DONA International. A postpartum doula usually receives about 27 hours of practical training before they are a certified postpartum doula.

There are also CAPPA-certified postpartum doulas in Hollywood, FL, as well. These doulas were certified by the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association, an international organization that certifies doulas and other childbirth educators/professionals.

As a reminder, because postpartum doulas are not trained to be a medical professional and diagnose and treat medical conditions, a certification is not required for them to practice.

As their names suggest, a birth doula’s main priority is to provide support services before, during and in the moments immediately after childbirth. A postpartum doula’s obligations usually begin after the birth, for several weeks or months. In many cases, your birth doula will also be a trained and certified postpartum doula, which can provide a continuity of care that many parents find extremely valuable.

Many parents want to know whether a postpartum doula or a baby nurse would meet their needs and expectations. A baby nurse might be focused on making sure that a baby sleeps or feeds properly, but that might be the extent of their role. A postpartum doula generally offers more holistic services for their clients.

A postpartum doula in Hollywood, FL is expected to be more involved with the family as a whole. They might remain involved in sibling care or also provide emotional support to the partner as both parents adjust to becoming new parents. This may even include support for older siblings, light housework, and even meal prep. A postpartum doula provides more physical, emotional, and informational support than a baby nurse.

You can hire two types of doulas in Hollywood, FL: a birth doula and a postpartum doula. The birth doula is during your pregnancy and through the birth of your child. They provide you with emotional, physical and educational support during your pregnancy, your labor and delivery and for the first few hours after your child is born.

A postpartum doula will support you for the first few weeks after the baby is born. They provide in-home assistance, including teaching you how to take care of your newborn, acting as lactation consultant, and can provide some night nanny services.
