Amazing Support – A True Blessing! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joanna Guzman. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. She provided not only expert knowledge and guidance but also incredible emotional support throughout my pregnancy, labor journey. During my delivery, Joanna was my rock—calm, reassuring, and always one step ahead, anticipating my needs before I even voiced them. She helped me feel empowered, confident, and safe throughout the entire process. Her warmth, patience, and dedication made all the difference, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. If you are looking for a compassionate, skilled, and incredibly supportive doula, I highly recommend Joanna .She is a gift to any family welcoming a new baby!

There are no enough words to describe how thankful that. I had found Zory and was able to have her as my Doula. When I met her, I knew immediately that she was the one and that I would be extremely comfortable with her. She takes her time to meet with you, to ensure you are heard and she does her best to make sure it happens. She pays attention to detail before and during your birth. My birth did not go exactly how I planned, it went along fast and I was supper freaked out, but as soon as she arrived, I felt an extreme sense of safety and comfort. If I were to have more children, I would want Zory by my side again. During labor and during all that pain there is one thing that stands out to me and it was all her telling me that I was doing this and I was doing amazing, etc, everything else was blurred out. You would not regret having her as your Doula and you would want her to be in your life as your friend, because that's how much she cares. Thank you Zory! I am eternally grateful for you

Hello! I'm a passionate biologist and mother of two, certified as a birth and postpartum doula since 2023. This year, I expanded my skills with certifications as a birth coach and maternal-child educator. Currently, I specialize as an Advanced Lactation Specialist and Safe Infant Feeding (CLAAS and IYCFS), committed to providing the best support during pregnancy and childbirth. At Doula at your cervix, I believe in gentle, personalized support for families during the conception and pregnancy process. I consider each pregnancy, labor, and birth to be a unique and miraculous experience where the emerging family is at the center. With a multidisciplinary approach, families can decide on their birth process and the environment where they feel safest to welcome their baby into the world. I'm here to accompany you with sensitivity and professionalism on this special journey.

Leenoshka was absolutely amazing as my doula! She came to my house and help me understand in a detailed manor the steps and the things that go into labor, and breastfeeding. When I went into labor and called her at 4am she answered and kept in touch until it was really go time and she came over. She helped the whole time, being in labor was not easy but all the tools she brought and her knowledge helped out so much. I was able to be in labor for only 40 hours, and I kept progressing and was able to do it naturally. Definitely do not know what I would have done without her. She also helped me with latching baby girl on which I absolutely appreciate!

Hi! I'm Gabriella, and I’m passionate about supporting women and families through their fertility, pregnancy, labor, and motherhood journeys. My path to becoming a doula began in 2014 after my own empowering birth experience with my first child. Inspired, I became a certified childbirth educator through the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth and discovered my deep passion for women’s health and well-being. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to support families in various ways—whether teaching childbirth education, offering lactation consulting, or even serving as a virtual doula in moments of need. My own birth experiences have shaped my practice. From a beautiful birth center delivery to navigating an unexpected emergency C-section, and finally achieving my VBAC home birth, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my work. These experiences have fueled my commitment to empowering families with knowledge, confidence, and holistic care. At the end of 2023, I made the decision to leave my corporate career to pursue my dream full-time. I am currently trained through DONA International, a globally respected organization, and offer compassionate, intuitive support focused on mental, physical, and nutritional health. My approach is holistic and tailored to each family’s unique needs, ensuring that partners feel confident and supported throughout the journey. I am so excited to walk alongside you and help you achieve the birth experience you desire. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or your fourth, I look forward to being part of your story!

Gabi is incredibly knowledgable in all things Doula, pregnancy, pre and postpartum, as well as being kind, empathetic and welcoming. She listens to all concerns and preferences that you might have and advises the best way to move forward. I am based in the UK and Gabi has gone out of her way to still schedule in sessions with me and my partner, around our shift pattern too. I wouldn’t have anyone else helping me navigate this next chapter in my life and I’m always grateful I found her. I would definitely recommend!

Hey New Friend I’m Justine, your new friend, your cheerleader, your support, and your added strength from your Baby Bump, Beyond Birth journey. You’ll find me filling many roles as a wife, mother of 3, early childhood enthusiast, and dedicated doula that loves photographing cherished moments throughout Central Florida. Some say a doula is a luxury, however for many it’s a necessity! I became a doula because I realized how many women/birthing persons are without support or a village to help them through what could be the most beautiful yet scariest time of their life. At Baby Bumps, Beyond Birth, we believe that every individual deserves a birth experience that honors their autonomy, dignity, and unique story. We are dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care that nurtures the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. Through education, compassion, and individualized support, my mission is to support and uplift birthing individuals and their families, fostering a safe, informed, and empowered experience from pregnancy to parenthood.

Justine's ability to listen and provide support is unmatched. She also understands that each birth and experience is different, which allows her to adjust to meet the special needs of each mom. I would recommend Justine as a Doula to any mom who needs support and advocacy on their journey to motherhood. I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future to handle my birth needs.
