MINDFUL DOULAS
Beka Atwater
PCD, CLC
My focus is nurturing your newborn with skill, gentleness, and deep attention—so you can rest easy knowing your baby is in trusted hands.
I provide calm, responsive care rooted in experience and evidence. Every family has its own rhythm, and I take time to understand your values, preferences, and goals so I can align my care with what matters most to you. My work centers your baby, but always honors your role as the parent. I’m here to support your vision—with professionalism, respect, and zero judgment.
