I've been working as an overnight newborn care specialist for approximately 2 years, including for families with multiples (twins) and babies as young as 6 weeks of age. My desire and passion for becoming a doula is heavily influenced by my lived experience, as a close family member passed away during childbirth in 2013, in part due to systemic inequities present within our healthcare system. It is my goal to provide advocacy and emotional support for expecting and new mothers.
Starting out as a professional birth doula and willing to accept clients on a low-fee or no-fee basis in order to gain experience and support expecting mothers.

Post a testimonial for Laysha Lanfranco Sosa
9/26/2026
My wife and I had our first baby this past July, and I really didn't know what to expect.
We took all classes offered by the hospital, did a ton of reading, and Laysha even came over before the due date to give us pointers and tricks. Despite all of that, I still felt unprepared when the day came.
My wife and I only managed an hour of sleep before our little bundle of joy decided to make his debut. Thankfully, Laysha was phenomenal throughout the entire process and arrived quickly once we had to head to the hospital. She was with us every step of the way and was a strong advocate for our birth plan. We were close to deviating from it, but thanks for Laysha's support, we managed to stick with it and a had fully natural birth as planned.
Laysha was not only a huge help for my wife but also for me guiding me through how I could best support my wife and understand the process.
Thank you, Laysha, from the bottom of my heart. We were lucky to have you be our doula.
