ABOUT

Hello! I'm Marissa, or Doula Rissy, as my friends would call me.

​

I decided to become a doula in 2019 as I was embarking on my own women's health journey. During this experience, I learned that empowering women, birthing people, partners, mothers, fathers... that's my favorite thing to do! 

​

I am a DONA (Doulas of North America) certified doula. I am experienced in hospital births, home births, multiples, and couples dealing with birth anxiety. I strive to empower families to reconnect with their instincts, trust in their bodies, and feel nothing but love and support on this unpredictable journey.
