Brianna Santiago

As a medical student with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and Medical Anthropology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I am passionate about maternal and fetal health. Supporting my mother during her pregnancy with my youngest sibling inspired me to pursue a career in medicine.

With an understanding of both the social and biological determinants of health, I aspire to provide exemplary doula care to those I support.

Jamie Ortiz

Sleep Consultant & Lactation Educator

I was so deprived of sleep with our oldest that I became overwhelmed at all the information out there. I thought “there’s has to be a place where I can get evidenced based information in one spot” Once I started learning I would share with anyone

who would listen. After 4 more years and two children, I made it official by earning my certification through The Cradle Coach in Pediatric Sleep, Adoption & Fostered Sleep, and Newborn Care. My goal is to help parents not feel overwhelmed and support families from all walks of life with both breastfeeding and bottle fed babies. Sleep doesn’t look the

same for every baby or even every family. I love to serve the Spanish-speaking community as well.
