About
In Sanskrit, the word "Seva" translates to "selfless service" or "service without expectation of reward," and it is a core principle in many Eastern spiritual traditions. It is often used to describe performing service or acts of kindness for others without any expectation of gratitude or recognition. My role as a doula embodies the principle of Seva, as I can provide tailored care to mothers and families during childbirth simply because it is the right thing to do.
MEET
Leticia Almeida
(Postpartum Doula)
I am fortunate enough to have been raised by a village of strong and caring women. Because I have always been in contact with babies and new mothers, I naturally developed a passion for childbirth and women's care.
​
Seven years later, and in a different country, I became a certified Doula providing emotional, physical, and informational support to mothers before, during, and after childbirth.
​
I truly enjoy helping families navigate the birthing process and make informed decisions about their care by sharing the knowledge I have received from wise women since my early days.
​
I am trained in various comfort measures such as massage, breathing techniques, and positioning and can provide guidance and support to your partners and other support persons.
​
I also have over eight years of experience in postpartum support and breastfeeding guidance. I believe in empowering families and fostering a positive birth experience. For that reason, I am currently a nursing student, on track to become a nurse-midwife, so I can widen the care I provide to women of all ages.
​
I am available to support your family in your birth journey, and I am excited to be a part of such a remarkable time in your lives.

“Leticia was an essential part of the preparation and welcoming of my son. She was an angel sent to ease my soul and calmly promoted a safe and welcoming environment for me to be able to birth my baby. She was able to transform my fear into bravery and then bliss, and for that, I’ll be forever grateful.”

“Leticia’s support during my transition to parenthood was beyond appreciated. She was a wealth of knowledge, always offering a listening ear and able to guide me to resources and information to make my own decisions. She was my peace and calmness when I was overwhelmed. She helped take care of my baby so I wouldn’t forget to take care of myself! I trusted her to treat him as her own. She was gentle, caring and nurturing toward my son. I felt supported and confident as a new mom because I had Leticia in my corner, willing to help in any way needed. I was extremely fortunate to have her assistance and would highly recommend her to other families.”

“Brandon and I couldn't have asked for a better postpartum doula than Leticia. From the moment we met, I knew she would greatly support me during this overwhelming and emotional time. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small or silly they may have seemed, and assured me that she would be by my side no matter what. She provided practical and emotional support in equal measure, and her care was instrumental in helping me navigate the first weeks of motherhood. I highly recommend Leticia to any new parent looking for a doula who truly cares about their well-being.”
