Full Spectrum Doula

Wylder Ayres (They/Them)

Swaddled Birth

 

I am a queer and trans full-spectrum doula providing relationship-centered, gender-affirming birth and postpartum support. My practice is rooted in intuition, emergence, presence, and self-trust.

I am experienced in working with diverse family structures and am skilled at nurturing meaningful involvement from partner(s) when desired. My ethos centers a deep sensitivity to how self-narratives shape the experience of pregnancy and birth, influencing the identities of both caregivers and newborns. I confidently guide laboring people to reconnect with their primal, embodied, and spiritual selves through creative pain management techniques and compassionate collaboration. I bring warmth, intentionality, and humor, transforming clinical spaces into tender, personal, and home-like environments.

I have been a birth and postpartum doula since 2018, trained by beloved Michelle L’Esperance (she/her) at Warm Welcome Birth Services.

I welcome MassHealth-insured clients and offer sliding scale services!

Certified Birth Doula

Liza Styles

I believe that birth is important. You only do this a few times: once, twice, maybe ten times if you really love chaos. Pregnancy, labor and birth, and postpartum are a time of unique vulnerability, excitement and discovery. A great care team around you can help you channel those emotions into a powerful, positive experience. I bring a knowledge of and belief in birther's ability to bring their baby into this world in the way that is best for them. I support all types of births, from home births (though only midwife-led home births, I am not able to be present for free births) to hospital to planned caesarean. I can help you build a birth plan that reflects your growing family's unique values and allows for the flexibility that any birth requires. ​ I also bring practical skills and knowledge: a strong foundation in childbirth education, an excellent set of local and online resources in my pocket, and knowledge from my doula training and studies, including movement and positioning, acupressure and massage.

Birth and Postpartum Doula

Alie Schonbek (she/her)

Alie the Doula

Alie has been drawn to birth for as long as she can remember. She was the little girl who was fascinated with pregnancy and babies, and always knew deep down that there was an unmistakable pull on her heart towards birth work. It was a winding path, but becoming a doula in 2023 felt to her like coming home - despite the twists and turns along the way, it was an “of course” moment in her story.

 

Alie’s approach to birth is built on that same wonder and awe that she felt as a child. She believes that with the right support, pregnancy, birth and postpartum can be empowering, positive experiences (not just something you have to get through to have your baby!), and she loves to witness the moments when parents realize just how strong they are. She is passionate about trauma-informed care and evidence-based decision making. Her goals as a doula are to build a strong bond with her families, learn their stories and values, and support their transitions with compassion and steadiness.

Margaux Frank (she/her/ella)

Headwaters Birthwork

I am a bilingual (Spanish-English) birthkeeper and postpartum care provider. I care about showing up for you during your birth in a way that brings you joy, empowerment and the ability to be present for the mysterious force that is birth. I deeply value clear communication, connection to Spirit, evidence-based practices, and holding space so that your energy can move the way it needs to. I believe in your body’s capacity to experience the process of birth, to heal fully, and experience greater vitality in the postpartum time. I offer practical physical, and emotional support before, during, and after birth. When my time with you ends, my hope is that you feel confident in your ability to navigate parenthood, and where and how to get support when you need it.

I trained as a birth doula through Warm Welcome Birth with Michelle L’Esperance, and as a postpartum doula through Nurturing Doula Dreams with Ann Grauer. I am also a nationally licensed speech-language pathologist.

Certified Birth Doula

Sari Fein (she/her)

Rachamah Doula Services

 

As a DONA-trained birth doula, I provide physical and emotional support and education to birthing people during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. It is my deeply held belief that there is no right or wrong way to bring a child into the world. My goal is to help you have a birth experience in which you feel listened to, supported, and empowered. I support all births, including births with an epidural, unmedicated births, and Caesarean births; whether in a hospital, birth center, or at home. I affirm all LGBTQIA+ families, am trauma informed, and am actively working to become anti-racist.


Why Rachamah? In Hebrew, “rachamah” (pronounced ra-ḤA-ma) is the feminine form of the word “rehem,” which means “womb.” This term is also often used as a verb meaning “to show compassion,” which is a guiding principle of my work as a doula.

Psychotherapist, PMH-C

Sarah Major, LICSW

I am a local psychotherapist certified in perinatal mental health and offering virtual psychotherapy to those on the path towards parenthood-- including those on the fertility and preconception journey, those experiencing loss, pregnancy and postpartum. I have a great depth of experience working with adolescents and adults with trauma histories and previous diagnoses of anxiety and depression. In my work I strive to practice cultural humility and bring an antiracist lens to my practice. I also utilize a blend of modalities to best fit my client's needs, including teaching skill-building through mindfulness based stress reduction, dialectical behavioral therapy, ego state strategies drawn from IFS, and cognitive behavioral therapy.


The perinatal period can be a time of immense physical, emotional, and spiritual change and transformation, and I look forward to working with individuals who might need some more support on their journey!
I currently accept Optum, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tufts, Harvard Pilgrim, Cigna, and Aetna insurances, as well as out of pocket payment on a sliding scale as needed. Please reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation to see whether we might be a good fit!.

Licensed Acupuncturist/Herbalist/Prenatal Yoga Teacher

Courtney Hill (she/her)

Window of Heaven Acupuncture & Yoga Inc.

I support pregnant women through pregnancy and in preparation for birth with herbs, acupuncture and gentle yoga instruction. The majority of my acupuncture practice is devoted to the lifelong postpartum period assisting women in the recovery process after birth to reestablish alignment, strength and stamina. Whether it is three days later or three decades later, it is never too late to heal the ailments that may have come up during pregnancy or birth. Whether it is building pelvic floor strength after birth or helping a woman prepare for a second birth after a challenging first birth; the integration of herbs, movement and acupuncture can be incredibly fast, productive and powerful in the prenatal and postpartum periods.

Taylor Wadsworth 

Wadsworth Birther and Family Care

My name is Taylor Wadsworth and I am an alum. of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I earned a B.A. in Communication with a minor in Information Technology. In 2009, I graduated from McCann Technical School, a vocational trade school in North Adams, MA where I also studied Information Technology. In 2017, after the birth of my son the previous year, I trained as a postpartum doula with Warm Welcome Birth. Engaging with families as a postpartum doula brings me a great joy and fulfillment in my life, as well as a confidence in my own parenting that I continue to gain from learning from my own clients. It can be a rewarding and reciprocal relationship. In addition to postpartum support, I provide birth support for home, hospital, and birth center birthing experiences.
