Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Springfield, MA

As a full-spectrum doula, I see birth as more than a physical event—it’s a transformative rite of passage. My care is rooted in mindfulness, education, and spiritual wisdom, creating space for clients to slow down, tune in, and trust their bodies. I support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—through breathwork, affirmations, and grounded presence. Whether during pregnancy, labor, or postpartum, I help clients move through each phase with clarity and calm.

Hi, I’m Danielle! I’m a postpartum doula, lactation educator, and Master Health Coach with a Bachelor’s in Health Education and a passion for holistic, practical, and proactive health for families after birth. With over a decade in healthcare, I support families through major life transitions, helping moms recover, bond with their baby, and feel confident in their new role. I take a whole-family approach, supporting physical recovery, infant feeding, emotional wellbeing, and daily life at home. I’m especially passionate about replenishing mothers, because a nourished, rested mom builds the strongest foundation for her family. I’m just another mom who has been through it and wants better for others. My postpartum journey included an avoidable postpartum hospitalization, a humbling experience that taught me so much about healing, resilience, and support. I enjoy helping families feel empowered, supported, and present with their baby so they can savor these early months with confidence.

Hi, and welcome to Wholehearted Welcome. I’m Karen—but you’re more than welcome to call me Nana. I’m a mother of three—twins born by C-section and a daughter lovingly welcomed through adoption—and a proud grandmother of five, including one cherished bonus grandchild. I’m currently working toward my certification through Mama Glow, and I offer birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum support, along with sibling prep when needed. I come to this work as an elder, a world citizen, and someone who shows up with open arms, a full heart, and a deep belief that birth is a sacred journey. I’m the kind of doula who jumps in with both feet—ready to hold space, advocate, laugh with you, cry with you, and do what needs to be done. Whether you’re parenting solo, welcoming through adoption, or finding your way as a new family, I create a warm, steady, and wholehearted space where you’ll feel supported every step of the way.

As a certified postpartum doula and certified lactation counselor since 2022, I have guided dozens of families as they've grown their families. Birth and new parenthood can be unpredictable, and I am here as a trusted resource to help you navigate the experience. I believe that each family's journey is deeply personal — shaped by individual circumstances, values, and needs — and that as a result there is no single "right" way to navigate new parenthood. My goal is to provide unbiased, evidence-informed guidance so that parents can confidently make decisions that feel right for them, whatever they may be. I’m honored to be a part of such a personal and intimate experience for the clients I serve. In my free time I enjoy long walks my dog, Frank, cooking up a storm for friends, and tending to my garden. Prior to becoming a doula, I received my BA in modern Middle Eastern history from Yale University and worked in political and nonprofit consulting.

Hello everyone! my name is Amanda, & I have been working in childcare for over 5 years. I obtained my associate degree in early childhood education in 2021 and my doula certifications through the International Doula Institute in 2023. I have worked in various environments including an in-home daycare, a childcare center, and the homes of personal nanny clients. I chose to pursue doula work because of my innate drive to support others and provide the needed assistance to empower families in their abilities. I am beginning to create and grow my doula business and I look forward to connecting with families around my community! I have a calm and reserved personality type which allows space for everyone to be seen and heard. Outside of doula work, I enjoy working on sewing projects, home improvements, and visiting with family!

Hi everyone! My experience with birth started with my first birth: my son was born peacefully at home in the water. I fell in love with birth right away, and began taking doula classes. My approach to prenatal, labor, and postpartum care is mother and family centered. I’ve also trained in labor massage, Ayurvedic postpartum nutrition, childbirth education, and as a lactation educator and placenta specialist. My goal is to offer support, assurance, and information to my families at every step of their early parenthood journey. My philosophy and education align best with mamas who are pursuing natural birth and holistic support. I have experience with VBACs, HBACs, and free births.

I have been an IBCLC since 2007 offering both virtual and in-home visits to families for prenatal and postnatal infant feeding and lactation support. I help parents with a wide variety of topics in lactation and infant feeding. Some include preparing for lactation and infant feeding, returning to work, pumping and flange fitting, low milk supply, oversupply, oral function, oral restrictions, difficulty latching or feeding, positioning, introducing bottles, starting solids, nighttime nursing, weaning, and more. I have taken several advanced skills training in the areas of oral function, latching & positioning, and gut health. No question is too small or too big. I aim to support each dyad and each family in the way that makes them feel most supported and reach their infant feeding and lactation goals.
