About Me
My Story

I was born and raised in Westport/Fall River, MA. In 2017 I moved to Colorado and in 2018 I discovered I was pregnant and was overjoyed, motherhood had always called me. I soon realized that when it came to preparing for birth, I was pretty clueless. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and I left my birth feeling traumatized, ignored, and insecure in my mothering abilities. I realized that this was no person's fault, or even a single hospital's fault, but instead an entire system that is mostly profit based and does not always respect and empower the birthing person.
​
Doula work seemed to fall right into my lap. The first day of my doula training I knew I was right where I needed to be. My birth experience seemed like it had a purpose: to guide me on the path that has given my life infinite meaning and fulfillment. My passion for this work is never ending and so I will always continue learning, to be the best doula that I can be. I also have a passion for herbalism, cloth diapering, prenatal & postpartum nutrition, babywearing, yoga, breastfeeding, advocacy & birth rights, and avoiding hair loss postpartum.
​
In May 2022 my family and I moved back to the Fall River area where we currently live and homeschool our 3 children.
Testimonial
"My husband and I are so grateful for all of Nelia’s help. Hiring her as our doula was easily the best decision we made leading up to giving birth to our daughter. Nelia is not only extremely knowledgeable but she also went above and beyond to be there for us before, during and after the birth. She was someone who my husband could lean on as he supported me, giving him great peace of mind. For me, she built my confidence and excitement about expecting our first baby. I believe this great mindset contributed to a wonderful birth experience, all thanks to Nelia."
