Wendy R. | Doula in FL

Bonded By Birth

    Practice overview

    Two major things happened within me at 10 years old when I bottle-fed my baby sister for the first time. One, I knew I wanted to be a mother, and two, I wanted a career working with young children. As a teen, I worked for various families and babysat for them before becoming a mother myself. From there, I mostly babysat for friends and family. Two years ago, I decided to make the switch to becoming a birthworker. I take a trauma-informed, individualized approach with all my clients to provide a unique experience tailored specifically to each family. I am here to support the mother and however that may look for her on a particular day. I follow a gentle parenting approach and believe in meeting an infant's needs when it becomes known. I provide all my clients with up-to-date evidence-based information and physical and emotional support. I also help support families with light household duties, meal prep, breastfeeding support, and goal setting.

      Wendy was very kind and understanding to the needs of my wife during the postpartum period. She was very knowledgeable about newborn care and answered all our questions without judgement. Wendy made the transition to first time parenthood easier.

      My experience working with Wendy was nothing short of the best! She was extremely knowledgeable and was there for me every time I needed help, from the moment I gave birth I had all the support I needed.
      If you are looking for a doula look no further because you have definitely found the right one. I spent weeks trying to make sure I had the right person and I definitely did. I look forward to using her again in the future!

      I have known Wendy for a few years now and I can honestly say she is truly a blessing to work with. She has a kind soul, a soft touch and is beyond empathetic. I feel my kids are 100% safe when they are with her, cause she’s not only professional but she takes each child under her care as her own. She is loving and playful and my kids love the days they get to be with “Miss Wendy”. I would recommend her any time!
