Douling: The act of educating, loving, respecting,
listening, embracing, and assisting another
At Circle Birth, we understand that the early days of parenthood can be incredibly demanding, particularly when it comes to the challenge of sleep deprivation. That's why we offer specialized overnight support for families with babies aged 0-3 months. Our dedicated doulas provide attentive care during the nighttime hours, ensuring both you and your baby get the rest you need.
Unlike many doulas who understandably rest during overnight care, our dedicated team is committed to providing fully awake support. This ensures you have a vigilant and well-rested presence throughout the night. Our experience extends to caring for full-term healthy babies, premature infants, and those with diverse health considerations, encompassing both mental and physical health issues. We are also proficient in handling feeding tubes and medications when necessary.
1.Centered on Your Baby's Needs
Our doula prioritizes your baby's well-being throughout the night, tending to their needs to ensure the most peaceful night possible. We assist in establishing and sustaining routines tailored to your baby, fostering the development of healthy sleep and feeding patterns.
2. Mothering the Mother
We know very well that it is not only a baby that has been freshly born, there is also a brand new mother (and father) to care for! Our doulas have extensive training to help identify postpartum mood disorders, help with adjusting to being a new mother/parent, provide assistance with latch and feeding or learning how to set up and use baby/breastfeeding gadgets and tools. We are also a compassionate ear to talk with as you discover yourself as a mother and a family!
3.Thorough Nightly Reports
Rest assured, you'll receive detailed notes summarizing all the events from the night, providing you with peace of mind and letting you in on any new solves we have found to help with sleep, feeding or soothing for baby.
4. Effortless Home Maintenance
We go above and beyond, helping with light cleaning tasks like dishes, laundry, and maintaining tidy floors. During day support she is also able to help with meal prep and is able to accommodate special dietary restrictions.

Rest assured, we are animal-friendly—comfortable with all pets as long as they are comfortable with us! At Circle Birth, we are dedicated to meeting the unique needs of your family during the precious early months of parenthood. Your peace of mind and a well-rested family are our foremost priorities.

Touching Experiences Shared by Our Parents...
Emily and Jake's Experience
"Parris has been such a blessing as we became parents for the first time! She was by our side during our delivery helping us stay calm and feel informed. She supported our choice not to breastfeed which was so important to us having faced much judgement from people in our community. She always put our goals and priorities first which made us feel truly supported. In a time where everyone seems to have opinions about what we should or should not be doing, she was always accepting and supportive of our choices. This meant the world to my husband and I.”
Marim and Isaac’s Testimonial
‘‘When we first interviewed with Parris we had only been in the United States for a few weeks. She was such an important part of our birth story as she helped us navigate the hospital and delivery of our son in a brand new culture with a language that was quite new for us. Both of our families were back in our home country so having her present to help us adjust to being parents was essential. I don’t know what we would have done without her!”
Alex and Chris's Review
"What can I say about Parris and Circle Birth Company. Thanks to her we felt so prepared to welcome our first child! We took her childbirth class and she was our rock during the delivery of our daughter. She helped us over come initial breastfeeding challenges and helped us establish a beautiful breastfeeding relationship, which was so important to me. She also was a major part of helping my partner and I adjust to being parents together which is not always easy! She was a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand and if she didn’t have the answer she found the answer or the person who could help! I give her 11 stars!"
