About me

Haiii, my name is Fantasia Hernandez, and I am a new postpartum doula! At 25 years old, I have recently stepped into this role professionally, but in many ways, I have been doing this work for years. Growing up surrounded by women and families welcoming new babies into the world, I naturally found myself helping out, offering support, caring for newborns, and being a calm, steady presence during those early and tender weeks. I just did not realize there was a name for what I was doing. Becoming a postpartum doula feels like coming home. I have always been drawn to nurturing others, especially new mothers navigating the intensity, beauty, and vulnerability of the postpartum period. I believe every family deserves gentle, informed, and nonjudgmental support after birth, and I am honored to be a part of that journey. Whether it is holding the baby so a parent can rest, helping establish a feeding rhythm, or just being someone who listens, I am here to make the transition into parenthood a little softer.
