Alyssa is an absolute dream! Hiring her as a postpartum doula was the best decision we made after the birth of our son. It was wholly worth the investment. She made us feel loved and cared for and her presence gave us breathing room that was desperately needed. Alyssa is a baby whisperer and we felt totally confident handing our newborn over to her for long stretches of time. I wish we could’ve hired her for a whole month.
My mission is to help you feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported—no matter what your journey looks like.

Meet Alyssa
Hi, I’m Alyssa, a birth and postpartum doula here to walk alongside you during one of life’s most transformative moments. My mission is to help you feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported—no matter what your journey looks like. I believe birth is profoundly personal, and you deserve to make the choices that feel safest and most aligned with your intuition.
I’m a type 2 on the Enneagram and a Highly Sensitive Person, which I consider my superpowers in the birth space. I’m attuned to the subtle shifts and unspoken needs, and I lead with compassion and care. Before stepping into this work, I spent years supporting children—and now I’m honored to support parents in their becoming.
For me, knowledge was the key to breaking a cycle of generational fear around birth. Now, I’m here to pass that power on to you.

This was our first experience with having a Doula. My husband and I are extremely grateful to Alyssa. She is an absolutely amazing support person and caregiver. She gives you a step by step process. She outlines your labor and delivery for you and helps you with your birth plan. She was also the biggest advocate for me while in labor and gave my husband the tools to be as well. I could not have chosen a better support person and she will be who we choose next time as well.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Care
As someone who is queer and has a transgender brother, providing gender-affirming care is very important to me. I strive to create an inclusive and safe environment by affirming one's unique identity, addressing specific needs, and actively working to dismantle any bias' or discrimination from providers.
