About Me

Hi, I'm Marla! As a postpartum doula, I provide emotional, physical, and educational support to new mothers and their families. I am trained through DONA, and I bring strong communication skills, CPR and First Aid certification, and exceptional time management to every family I support, along with the ability to adapt to new situations and collaborate with a wide variety of people. This work is truly my calling.

I bring a well-rounded set of skills to my practice, including newborn care specialization, breastfeeding support, parenting guidance, postpartum and Ayurvedic cooking, education, belly binding, and support for surrogates. My goal is to help every family feel organized, supported, and confident as they settle into life with their new baby.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in providing support for the entire family unit, including assistance with newborn care, breastfeeding or other feeding preferences, and mental health monitoring.

Overall, my goal is to ensure every family feels safe, respected, and empowered through their journey into parenthood.
