Meet Your Doula

Hello! My name is Alicia Castello, birth doula and founder of Driftwood Doula Services.

My path into this work is both personal and deeply rooted in experience. As a mother of two, I understand firsthand how powerful, vulnerable, and transformative pregnancy and birth can be. Professionally, I bring a strong clinical background from working as a Licensed Nursing Assistant and scrub technician on a high-volume labor & delivery unit in New Hampshire, where I supported dozens of births alongside nurses, midwives, physicians, and local birth doulas.

That experience shaped the way I show up for my clients today—with a steady presence, a deep respect for the birth process, and a strong understanding of how to support families within both clinical and non-clinical spaces.

Driftwood Doula Services was created from a belief that birth, much like driftwood, is an experience that shapes you. Through every wave, every shift, and every moment of intensity, something within you is being strengthened, softened, and transformed. There is beauty in that process, and you deserve to feel supported through all of it.

As your doula, my role is to walk alongside you in that experience by offering steady support, calm guidance, and a grounded presence so you can move through each phase feeling informed, heard, and confident in your choices.

You are not meant to navigate these waters alone.

You deserve to feel secure, supported, and deeply connected throughout every moment of your birth experience.
