Hello, my name is Marsha!

CERTIFIED POSTPARTUM DOULA

BS Elementary Education/Child Development

Working with newborns has been my lifelong passion, and I've been on quite the adventure! I became a first-time mom before I even hit 20. Not your typical start, but hey, life throws some curveballs. Luckily, I've always had this knack for knowing what to do with babies – call it intuition or just sheer survival instinct!


Fast forward a bit, and I'm now a mom of three amazing grown children. My two boys proudly served in the military, one in the Air Force and the other in the Marines. Meanwhile, my daughter's out there rocking the creative writing scene at Emerson College. The best news is, I survived parenting and was promoted to Nanie for the first time in January 2024 with the arrival of my grandson!


After over 25 years of experience in the child care industry and a whole lot of love and laughter along the way, in 2018 I put my passion and experience to good use and opened Blissful Sleep Newborn Care. In 2023 I upped my game and became a DONA-certified postpartum doula and became “Blissful Sleep Newborn & Postpartum Care”. Why? Well, as much as I absolutely love caring for newborns, I genuinely want to help other moms navigate and enjoy the wild and wonderful “fourth trimester”. I've been in your sleep-deprived shoes, I remember the whirlwind these first few weeks can be. And to add insult to the chaos, nobody handed us a manual when we left the hospital! So hear me and believe me when I say… I see you, I hear you, I’ve BEEN you, and I'm here to be that manual.

Hello, my name is Lee!

CERTIFIED POSTPARTUM DOULA



Hey there, I'm Lee, and I'm beyond excited to be a part of this incredible team! Picture this: I've spent a whopping 20 years of my life as an OB/GYN Medical Assistant. That's two decades of bringing bundles of joy into this world and helping moms-to-be. I was very excited to join Blissful Sleep in March of 2022 and bring that wealth of knowledge and expertise to the amazing families we serve.


Now, here's the kicker - I'm not just passionate about newborn care at work; I'm also a mom to three amazing sons, the older two are rocking it at UMASS Amherst, and the youngest is eagerly waiting to graduate high school in 2024. You could say I'm a pro at handling the chaos, in your house and mine!


I call Milford, MA my home sweet home, and I'm like your friendly neighborhood superhero – ready to serve all cities and towns within a one-hour drive from here. When I'm not dashing off to save the day (or night), you can catch me running marathons for charity. Yes, really! I figure if I can handle newborns and my three boys, a little 26.2-mile jog should be a piece of cake, right? Plus, I like to mix it up and have some fun, so you can also find me on the field with my flag football team!


I'm all about giving back and being there for others. Whether you're a new mom in need of some guidance or just seeking a friendly ear, consider me your go-to gal. I'm here to make life's twists and turns a little easier to navigate. So, come on, join the party, and let's navigate this postpartum journey together!

Baby Care Assistance

  • Baby Whispering: Master the art of soothing your little one while you grab a much-needed snack (or ​nap).

Self-Care Encouragement

  • Spa Day Ideas: Encourage you to take a bubble bath or indulge in some self-care (yes, you deserve it!).

Wrap-Up & Check-In

  • Daily Debrief: Before I leave, let’s chat about what worked today and what needs to be tackled ​tomorrow.
  • Future Planning: Discuss upcoming goals, like conquering the laundry mountain or mastering baby-​wearing techniques.

Remember:

You’ve got this, and I’m here to help you navigate the beautiful chaos of postpartum life—one laugh at a ​time! 🍼✨

Kind words

Marsha was and still is my baby lifeline. As new parents we had no idea what to expect. Marsha swooped in the first night and made us feel calm, prepared and secure. She loved and still loves my baby so much, it is so special. Not only did she care for my baby and teach me everything I needed to know as a new parent she became a friend and part of our family during a chaotic unpredictable time. I cannot say enough about how much I would recommend Marsha. Once I am pregnant again she is top of the list to find out so that I can secure her care again!

Marsha was a godsend for our family! Before she arrived, our 7 month old was not napping or sleeping through the night. He was up every couple hours, still eating 6oz of formula, and got to the point where even rocking and holding him was NOT working. After just 2 nights of Marsha’s help, our little baby was sleeping through the night without waking AT ALL. That also means no more feedings either! She was so sweet and caring with our baby. She was also aware of our nerves about literally everything. We’re first time parents - and she was so patient and gentle with everything, every step of the way. She’s a literal magician. It’s been 2 weeks and I’m happy to say our baby is sleep 11 hours every night! If you do anything for yourself and your baby, hire Marsha!!!!!

I reached out to Marsha after a recommendation from another woman in my moms’ group. Hiring someone to stay overnight in your home and watch your newborn can be so stressful! But Marsha walked me through it and scheduled me with Lee. Lee instantly bonded with my son and showed incredible patience and understanding! By the 3rd night together, Aiden went to sleep in her arms, something he had only done with my husband, me or my mom before! It was such a relief! I would highly recommend Blissful Sleep Newborn Care to any new parents.
