I’m Amelia Protiva, certified Birth doula and photographer.

I'm Eli's wife, coffee aficionado, and professional baby snuggler.

My doula practice is founded upon the belief that childbirth is a natural event. That stress-free, beautiful birth you long for is well within your reach.

However your little one chooses to make his or her entrance into the world, I believe every moment of your journey is worthy of being celebrated!
