Your Hand of Support

Welcome to The Helping Hand Doula, where we offer ongoing physical, emotional, and informational support throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.
About Me
My name is Adriana, a mother of three with personal experience in both hospital and home births. After 10 years as a stay-at-home mom and a lifelong passion for birth work, I’m now pursuing my dream as a birth worker. I’d be honored to support you in your birth journey.

Ever since I was a young girl, I dreamed of being part of the birth world, whether as a supportive friend listening to fears and hopes or a helping hand in the delivery room. I understand the emotional whirlwind that can come with pregnancy. At 19, I experienced an unplanned pregnancy and chose a hospital birth out of fear and uncertainty, despite always wanting a homebirth with a midwife. That experience showed me how overwhelming the journey can be and sparked my passion to support others through it. With my second son, I was blessed to have a planned home birth, which was an empowering experience where I felt in control and informed. My third birth was in a hospital, but this time I felt confident and supported, equipped with the knowledge and tools I had gained. These experiences confirmed my calling. I am here to educate, support, and advocate so you can feel empowered and confident in your birth story, whatever path it may take.
