Hi,
I’m Ria Savoy.
I am a native of Trinidad and Tobago and a highly trained Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), certified birth and postpartum doula, and certified sleep consultant with an extensive background in childcare. With a career spanning 25 years, I have supported over 100 families across the United States, providing care for children ranging from newborns to teenagers.
My dedication to my craft and warm, nurturing nature make me a valuable asset to the families I serve. This commitment often leads to lasting relationships, with families inviting me back to support them through the births of their second and third children.
I offer comprehensive support from the prenatal stage through postpartum. I guide expecting parents by preparing them for birth, establishing newborn care plans, and providing emotional and practical support during labor. My postpartum services include hands-on newborn care, sleep training guidance, and helping parents adjust to life with a new baby. My holistic approach ensures families feel supported, confident, and well-rested during this transformative period.
My passion for fostering a warm and nurturing environment helps create a successful and positive experience for the entire family, promoting well-being for both parents and children alike.
I never imagined I’d find my calling in caring for newborns and supporting families, but life has a way of leading you exactly where you’re meant to be.
My journey began when a close friend introduced me to the world of newborn care specialists and postpartum support. Initially, I was hesitant…working inside someone else’s home seemed daunting. But something about the opportunity resonated with me, and I decided to give it a try. After completing my first class and landing my first client through an agency, I knew immediately that this was where I belonged.
I realized then, that wasn’t just a job, it was my purpose.
That experience planted a deep love for helping parents and their babies thrive, and it’s been the foundation of my work ever since.
On my very first job, I was so focused on the baby’s every sound that I didn’t sleep for three nights! Every peep had me on alert, but I loved every moment.
There’s nothing more rewarding than watching parents grow confident in their abilities and seeing their little ones thrive. I love being able to step into a family’s life during such a transformative time and provide them with the tools and guidance they need.
For me, success is when I leave a family feeling prepared and empowered.
Whether it’s through teaching parents the rhythms of newborn care, establishing healthy sleep habits, or simply being a calming presence during those early, overwhelming weeks, I’m here to offer a sense of calm and clarity.
My Approach
When we begin working together, my first goal is to truly understand your unique needs.
Every family is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to sleep or newborn care. I start by having an honest conversation with you about your family’s challenges and goals. I gather all the details I need through a personalized questionnaire, followed by a call to make sure we’re aligned. From there, I craft a customized plan tailored to your family’s specific circumstances
Whether we’re working on sleep training, newborn routines, or postpartum support, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way. My approach is holistic and flexible—I adjust to your needs as they evolve, always focusing on creating a nurturing environment for your little one and making sure you feel supported and confident in the process.
