Compassionate care, support & empowerment one mother at a time

Get accessible and personalized doula care in-person or from the comfort of your home

Hi there! I’m Janelle

As a 3rd generation nurse I come from a long line of women who inherently advocate and nurture others. I’m a mom to 3 incredible children: a son born at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a daughter born at Newton Wellesley and my youngest daughter born at home, all with midwives. After giving birth to my son I knew, I wanted to focus my career on supporting women and the beautiful gift of birth. I loved my pregnancy and want every woman to feel supported like I did.

Testimonials

“Janelle was our postpartum doula when our family welcomed our second daughter in June 2021. During what was a very chaotic time with a newborn and toddler, Janelle was calm and supportive bringing a peaceful energy into our home. During her first few visits she helped me in my healing and breastfeeding process and gave us a much needed extra set of hands for our 2.5 year old toddler. In a time when our attention was very divided, I was glad my toddler was able to feel special and have fun. Our newborn had reflux, colic, and slow weight gain issues.

Janelle brought her professional nursing experience and her own personal experience as a mom to help answer my questions, give advice, and help soothe the baby. She even let us borrow a baby scale so I could check weight gain. It was so helpful to have her expertise while I navigated the postpartum process. In the midst of all of that she somehow also managed to fold our laundry, pick up the house, prepare meals, and clean up the kitchen while I was able to shower or just take a short break. My whole family looked forward to her visits. We felt taken care of, supported, and we loved chatting with her when she was here. I truly believe everyone should work with a doula and Janelle is one of the best. I only wish we could have worked with her for longer!”

“Prior to the birth of my first child, my husband and I I took a one on one lactation class with Janelle. She came prepared with an array of props to help illustrate the process and gave both mummy and daddy to be a little breastfeeding practise. Janelle's personality, and practical teaching skills left me feeling informed and empowered that ‘I can do this.’

 The best part of all of this was when my baby girl was born I felt confident in how to breastfeed and in the moments I couldn't remember how to do something my husband was able to help me with my hold or remind me of what we learned. My daughter is almost 3 weeks old now and both my daughter and I have had a great experience since day one.

 I highly recommend Janelle as a doula, consultant, and partner on your pregnancy and birthing journey.”

“Janelle was there every step of the way, from the moment I met her, through my induction all the way to when I came home with my precious baby boy. She thought of every detail, anticipated every need and was such a calming presence. I'm very grateful for her.”
