Carolyn Grayce
With a background in early childhood education, I spent 7 years working closely with young children before becoming a doula. However, my own journey into motherhood was what ignited my passion for supporting families during this special time. When I was a first time mother, I was overwhelmed and unsure of how to care for my newborn, heal properly, and advocate for myself. I didn't have that mythical "village" everyone kept talking about. I felt lost, unheard, and unsupported. Then in 2019, my husband and I experienced a heartbreaking miscarriage. We were later blessed with the arrival of our rainbow baby in September 2020. Navigating pregnancy and postpartum after loss was extremely lonely, hard, and at times unbearable. I lost myself for a long time.
Becoming a mother without a strong support system, I understand firsthand how crucial it is to have a compassionate and knowledgeable guide during this transformative period. As your doula, I am committed to focusing on your individual needs. Caring for you and your family so that you can rest and focus on healing and bonding. This journey isn't meant to be travelled alone. Whether you are navigating this journey for the first time or you are adding another little one to your family, my goal is to offer the very best birth and postpartum doula support to help your whole family thrive and flourish with grace.
While you care for baby, we care for you.
You're going through a life transition, to say the least. Your body has changed, your responsibilities are new, and you're eager to get to know your little one.
On top of that you're figuring out breastfeeding, navigating hormonal shifts, and carrying a lot more than you did just a few days ago. If there has ever been a time you need help managing everything, this might be it.
One of the most difficult parts of entering motherhood is that it’s hard to plan for- you don’t know what type of help will be best. With a postpartum doula you will have help at the ready - no matter what that looks like.
Postpartum doulas can take care of basic household tasks like laundry, giving you a chance to bond with your baby. Or, they can take a night shift with the baby so you can catch up on sleep. A postpartum doula can also lend a listening ear to help you process a birth story or ensure your mental state is stable. Whatever help you may need, we are here.

My Passion + Purpose IS YOU
Becoming a mother without a strong support system, I understand firsthand how critical it is to have a compassionate and knowledgeable guide during this transformative period. As soon as you announce that you are expecting, all focus goes to baby. "How is the baby doing" "Is the baby healthy" , " What does the baby need?", etc, etc. As well intentioned those questions are, they forget one very important thing.... YOU. The parents. Well....... As your doula, I am committed to focusing on YOU and individual needs. Caring for you and your family so that you feel confident in your decisions as parents, and to be able to rest and focus on healing and bonding. This journey isn't meant to be travelled alone. My goal is to offer the very best birth and postpartum doula support to help your whole family thrive and flourish with grace.
"I always say how “zen” the delivery room was and that was 100% thanks to Carolyn!"
We hired Carolyn for both birth and postpartum services for our first baby. She helped prepare us leading up to birth and was an amazing support in the delivery room. I always say how “zen” the delivery room was and that was 100% thanks to Carolyn! She made our hospital room feel relaxed and as comfortable as it could be for my 17 hour labor. She has also been amazing PP, helping wherever we needed and being a support to lean on / answering any and all questions and concerns we had. We are so grateful for our time with her and highly recommend her services!
