I’m Amelia Protiva. I've been a doula since 2016 and my work is driven by a foundational belief that doula care is an essential practice for the safety and wellbeing of all women and birthing people. My career in reproductive healthcare spans nearly a decade, combining hands-on, evidence-based support and education with community advocacy and care equity.

My role is to be your echo. I specialize in birth, postpartum, and bereavement support, bringing evidence-based education and an unbiased advocate into your birthing space. I am here to be an advocate for your values and wishes, ensuring your voice is heard and you feel respected throughout your birthing year.

My path into this work is deeply personal. After experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss, I understand the complex emotions and fears that can accompany pregnancy and birth. I'm now a mom to a beautiful girl who is the light of my world, and my parenthood path through loss has only deepened my commitment to supporting all families through theirs.

Beyond my local doula practice, I'm the founder of Birthkind, an app designed to help birth workers and families access safer care across the United States.
