Meet The Team
Reyna Casmir
My journey into the world of doula support was inspired by a deep belief in the strength and resilience of women during one of life's most sacred transitions. Drawing on my own experiences and a commitment to continuous learning, I bring a blend of empathy, knowledge, and a genuine love for guiding mothers through this extraordinary chapter.
Education and Credentials: I have pursued rigorous training and hold certification as a doula through DONA, Childbirth Educator training through BABE, and Adult & Pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED Training through American Red Cross, enriching my understanding of evidence-based practices and enhancing my ability to provide comprehensive support. As a lifelong learner, I stay abreast of the latest advancements in perinatal care to ensure that you receive the highest quality of support.
Philosophy: My doula philosophy revolves around creating a nurturing space where your choices are respected, your voice is amplified, and your unique journey is celebrated. I believe in the transformative power of personalized care, creating a pain free birth, and recognizing that each birth is a unique story deserving of compassion, dignity, and a sense of empowerment. I am currently finishing up my accounting degree and moving onto my masters in perinatal psychology. I am also studying perinatal yoga and herbalist healing.

What is a Doula?
Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey can be beautiful—but they can also feel overwhelming, emotional, and unpredictable. A doula provides steady, compassionate support during every stage so you never have to navigate it alone.
A doula is a trained professional who supports families emotionally, physically, and educationally throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum recovery. While medical providers focus on clinical care, doulas focus on you—your comfort, your confidence, your experience, and your peace of mind.
Studies have shown that having continuous support during labor can improve birth outcomes and the overall birth experience. Research referenced by organizations like American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and World Health Organization has found that doula support is associated with:
-
Lower rates of cesarean birth
-
Reduced need for pain medication and interventions
-
Shorter labors
-
Higher satisfaction with the birth experience
-
Increased confidence and emotional well-being after birth
Doulas also support partners by helping them feel informed, involved, and confident throughout labor and postpartum recovery. From creating a birth plan and practicing comfort techniques to providing reassurance during labor and guidance in the early newborn days, a doula offers personalized care tailored to your family’s needs.
Every family deserves to feel informed, supported, and empowered during this life-changing season. A doula helps create space for you to feel calm, cared for, and confident as you welcome your baby into the world.
