In July of 2018, what was supposed to be just one summer of helping a fellow doula who was moving out-of-state turned into something much bigger. I stepped in to provide overnight support for a household with two school-agers and a brand-new baby, never imagining it would change the course of my career. At the time, I fully expected to return to child care administration in the fall—but I quickly realized I had found my true calling. Supporting families in those tender, sleepless nights just felt like “home”, I knew I’d never do anything else ever again. What began as one mom simply helping other moms has since blossomed into Blissful Sleep Doulas—a trusted, boutique agency dedicated to delivering calm, compassionate, and personalized postpartum care for families across Greater Boston.

The VERY first “First Night”

July 2018

What I love most about this work is the chance to mother the mother—to nurture, reassure, and walk alongside women as they step into this new season. I get to share the little tricks I picked up raising my own children, while also bringing the knowledge and expertise I’ve gained through formal training and education. There’s a deep joy in supporting families who may not have their own relatives close by, and filling that gap with compassion and steadiness. And of course, nothing compares to those quiet 2 a.m. snuggles—they’ll always be my favorite part of the night.
