Birth & Postpartum
Juliette Camuso
My journey as a doula began in 2022, but the roots of this calling reach back nearly two decades. After the birth of my infant twins—while also caring for my two older children—I experienced the profound, steadying support of a postpartum doula. In a season that was both beautiful and overwhelming, that care left a lasting imprint on my heart. It showed me what is possible when someone is truly seen, held, and supported as they transition into parenthood.
Now, as a mother of four grown children and a practicing doula, I bring both lived experience and deep presence to the families I serve. I offer care that is nurturing, intuitive, and grounded—holding space for each birthing person and family with warmth, respect, and compassion. I believe that every journey into parenthood is unique and sacred, and I am honored to walk alongside people of all identities, backgrounds, and family structures as they welcome new life.
My work is guided by a genuine love for supporting families, an appreciation for the emotional and spiritual dimensions of birth and postpartum, and a commitment to helping each person feel empowered, cared for, and never alone in their experience.

Postpartum, Childbirth Education
Wendy McLoon
I have had a passion for all things childbirth and postpartum related for most of my life. After the birth of my first child, I was on a mission to help other women move beyond fear and have confidence going into childbirth. I immediately began working toward becoming certified to teach childbirth classes and received my certification in 1996. In addition, I became part of a doula collaborative in the Philadelphia area where I focused on postpartum care. Much of this work was with women who had twins. Through my childbirth classes, I was introduced to the importance of movement and breathwork during pregnancy through yoga. So, I became a student of yoga for many years and eventually got certified to teach. I offered prenatal as well as Hatha yoga classes. I then continued with an in-depth yoga education for an additional three years to earn my credential as a Yoga Therapist. I had an active practice in the Bangor area for several years helping people heal with chronic pain, anxiety, grief as well as preparation for major life events (birth, marriage, surgery, etc). Now living in Southern Maine, I am again focused on postpartum care as well as preparing couples for birth through childbirth education classes.
Prenatal, Birth, Postpartum and Bereavement Support
Lynn Abood
Welcome to our webpage!
My doula journey began long before I was actually trained as a doula. I have many younger siblings and from an early age have truly loved “all things baby” . Over the years, I supported family and friends on their pre natal, birth and postpartum journeys. The honor of being beside people in such a tender season of life led me to pursue formal doula training in 2018 when I made the decision to leave a 30+ year corporate career. What a wonderful and fulfilling experience it has been.
Over these past several years I have gained experience and wisdom, not only through training, but from clients, colleagues and medical professionals. I am very comfortable in hospital and home settings and am looking forward to deepening my experience with home birth. Birth is a time that is beautiful and transformative and
can also be overwhelming. Every birthing family deserves respect and compassion, and I am honored to hold space for their unique needs and experiences.
I have three incredible “grown and flown” children and two precious grandchildren. I live in Cornish with my husband and our two rescue dogs. I am a volunteer bereavement facilitator at the Center for Grieving Children and have done volunteer work with Camp Sunshine, Maine Needs and other local organizations. I love being outdoors, traveling, cooking, creating art and spending time with family.

Laurie Wood
My name is Laurie Wood and I am passionate about supporting families through the incredible journey of childbirth and beyond. With a gentle touch and a compassionate heart, I’m here to ensure you feel empowered and cared for every step of the way.
Before becoming a doula, I spent 30 years as a public school educator, working closely with children and families through meaningful milestones. My own birth experiences—including the birth of my first child with the support of a midwife—deepened my belief in the need for compassionate, informed care. I know that birth can feel overwhelming or uncertain, and I believe women have a unique and powerful ability to support all birthing parents through it. As a doula, I bring warmth, calm, and a steady presence to help you feel safe, supported, and confident throughout your pregnancy and birth experience.
I have a blended family of six grown children and ten wonderful grandchildren who keep me closely connected to both the joys and challenges of raising children in today’s ever-changing world. Their presence in my life reminds me daily how each parenting journey is unique—and how important it is to feel supported, heard, and encouraged as a parent.
