The Sacred Lotus

 Meet The Doula!

Thank you so much for visiting my page. I would love to share my story of how I got started with my career in birth work and why I believe this to be one of the most rewarding professions. My name is
Johanna Soares
I am married to my husband Brian, we have 5 amazing boys, and we live in St. John's County, FL. Brian and I grew up in South Florida and had all of our babies in Boca Raton, FL. I became a Doula five years ago and completed two Doula trainings. HypnoBirthing Professional Doula certified and Sacred Doula certified. I had the pleasure and privilege to have worked alongside an incredible group of women who also had a passion for birth work. I gained my experience through attending births at hospitals, birth houses, and homes. I want to bring my experience and knowledge to mothers here in St. John’s County and Duval County. I believe every mom should be heard and respected during pregnancy and especially in labor. You deserve to experience the birth you have always imagined. You get to birth YOUR WAY. Whether you choose to have a selective c-section or you would prefer to go all natural. It is a choice that only you get to make while your birth team supports and holds that space for you.

Becoming a Doula brought me to learn about HypnoBirthing. Once I found HypnoBirthing I knew right away more moms need to have this tool to be well prepared for their birth. I am a certified Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator. Teaching childbirth classes is one of my favorite parts about birth work. That is where I get to teach both moms and partners about the beautiful process birth is.

 My passion for birth work started at a very young age. I knew I wanted to provide support and care for women of all ages. I attended births of family and friends even before becoming a Doula. I knew this was where I belong and I was lucky to discover this work in becoming a Doula. It is my absolute passion and my calling. I love what I do. Birth is unique and it happens just once. A mom can have a different birth every time with each subsequent pregnancy. It is always unique. Labor and birth should be respected by everyone around you. Permitting your body to do what is meant to do and understanding the process of pregnancy, labor, and birth is crucial for you to have the outcome that you want, especially the outcome of knowing you were in control and made your decisions on your own. You never forget the day you gave birth. It is a special day and I am here to make sure that day is as special and sacred as it should be. As a Doula, my priority is to make sure that when you look back on that day you have nothing but positive feelings and memories about the decisions you made for yourself and your baby. No matter your choices, you should feel supported every step of the way.

I am here to answer any questions you may have and hopefully assist with putting your mind at ease. The thought of giving birth can be nerve wrecking which is very normal, but take comfort in knowing that just as your body knows how to grow your baby, it also knows how to bring your sweet baby earthside.
