What Is a Doula?

A doula provides non-medical emotional, physical, and educational support before, during, and after birth.

My role is to nurture the mother, not just care for the baby.

I help you rest, recover, and feel confident as you adjust to motherhood — through compassion, care, and presence.

How I Help:

Calming emotional overwhelm

Encouraging self-care and rest

Supporting baby care routines

Creating a balanced home rhythm

Helping moms “sparkle back” through holistic healing

Meet Chanelle

I’m Chanelle Scutella, a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) and Certified Postpartum Doula, with years of experience in healthcare, maternal wellness, and holistic healing.

Before nursing, I spent over 15 years in the hospitality industry, where I learned the true art of caring for people — anticipating needs, creating comfort, and nurturing others with compassion and detail. That deep understanding of service and connection continues to shape the way I support every mother and family I work with today.

I’m also a former professional athlete, which taught me the importance of discipline, rest, and recovery — lessons I now carry into postpartum care and women’s healing.

I understand how closely the body, mind, and spirit are connected in recovery, especially after birth. My approach blends:
 

  • Clinical knowledge from nursing

  • Physical awareness from athletics

  • Heart-centered service from hospitality

  • Spiritual and emotional care through holistic practice
     

I believe when mothers are cared for, nourished, and truly seen, families thrive — and healing happens from the inside out.
