From one mom to another - you are not alone.

I'm here to offer new parent support whether this is your first or seventh baby.

About Me

Hi, I’m Alyssa – the heart behind Golden Light Doula.

I’m a wife, a mom of three, and someone who knows firsthand how deeply the postpartum period can shape a mother’s journey. After each of my own births, I found myself longing for the kind of support I now offer — someone to check in on me, to help lighten the load, and to remind me that I was doing a good job.

I didn’t have a postpartum doula when I needed one most. That experience lit a fire in me to become the person I once needed — someone who shows up with compassion, practical help, and a calming presence during one of the most beautiful and vulnerable times in life.

When I’m not supporting new families, you can usually find me hanging out with the family, crafting something with my hands, sneaking in quiet moments with a cup of tea, or daydreaming about a little homestead full of chickens, goats, and maybe a cow or two (this is slowly becoming a semi-reality despite my husband's best efforts!).

It’s truly an honor to walk alongside parents as they welcome new life into the world — as a gentle guide and extra set of hands when it matters most.
