Monica McCuen
Hello! My name is Monica. I’m a Certified Postpartum Doula and the owner of The Sacred Season Doula! I provide overnight support to families from their baby’s delivery to their first birthday. In 2023, I trained and became certified with Cornerstone Doula Trainings. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. It is truly an honor to support families during one of the most special times of their lives.
Amy Ballezzi
Welcoming a new baby should feel supported, not overwhelming. My overnight postpartum care gives families the chance to rest, recover, and feel confident during those early newborn weeks. From soothing and feeding support to gentle guidance and a calm overnight presence, I’m here to make nights feel lighter so you can wake up feeling cared for, too.
Samantha Mercado-Brennan
Hi, I’m Samantha, a diligent postpartum doula who believes a whole family is born when the baby comes home, and nurturing that new unit is my honor. I’m passionate about holding mothers and birthing people in this sacred time as their family grows. With warm reassurance, gentle guidance and unwavering support, it’s my honor to help families find their voice and footing in the new world of parenthood. I’m a firm believer that knowledge is power and as a new mother’s support and advocate, I come prepared with infant care and maternal healing knowledge as well as local resources. My previous work as a journalist has sharpened my communication skills and kept me open and curious to learn from people of all walks of life.
Patricia Bobe
Hey love! I’m Patricia, a postpartum doula / mother helper here to be your extra set of hands, heart, and hugs daytime or overnight. I help with newborn care, other kiddos, light housework, and keeping your home organized, so you can just breathe and enjoy these first precious moments. I also share content on @deardigitalamiga to help mommies find themselves again while I’m on my own journey because we all deserve a little “me time” and a reminder that we’re not alone. I especially love supporting parents of little ones with special needs and military families, helping everyone feel seen, held, and supported. Think of me as your postpartum cheerleader, guide, and fellow mama navigating this beautiful chaos with you. <3

Be Pampered Doula, LLC is a service that works to ensure a positive birth experience for the mother, baby and family.

The doula also providers referrals to the appropriate medical personnel (primary care, OBGYN, Midwife, specialists, CLC (certified lactation counselor, IBCLC ( International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), etc) when it is determined that any issue(s) are out of the scope of practice of the doula. The doula facilitates communication between the birthing person and the medical team, helping to ensure that the birthing person's preferences and concerns are heard and understood.
