About me
I discovered my passion for helping women cross the threshold into motherhood through my own lack of prenatal and postpartum support when I was pregnant with my son in 2021. During my breakthrough from postpartum depression, I was determined to make a change in our village-less society. I wanted every mom who needs support. . . to have it.
I began my training in February of 2022 through DONA International. Since then, I have helped three moms through pregnancy and delivery. I have aided in hospital and home-birth settings.
My dream is to let every wonderfully made mom and baby know they are cared for unconditionally.

Client Testimonials
Annie, New London CT
Alexis was so wonderful to work with,
I looked forward to every meeting that
we had before our daughter was born!
She is so knowledgeable, and offered plenty of
great resources for us to prepare for baby.
Alicia , Ludlow MA
Having Alexis as my doula was a
complete game-changer.
I’m confident my labor would not
have gone as smoothly as it
did without her help and support.
