About Us

We are devoted sisters and postpartum doulas serving Foxboro, MA and surrounding areas, passionate about offering support to new families. Our journey began while we were both in search of new career paths and as we thought about what we truly desired from life. United by our passion for newborns and infants and driven by a desire to assist others in confidently and compassionately navigating the initial stages of motherhood, we embarked on establishing a Postpartum Doula business. We take pride in our commitment to fostering nurturing environments, whether through daytime or nighttime support.

Our approach is rooted in empathy and understanding. We believe that every family's story is unique, and we aim to listen and adapt to your specific needs. We acknowledge the significant need of postpartum care in providing mothers with support that is often lacking. If our values and approach align with what you're looking for, we hope you'll choose us to be a part of your postpartum journey.

Welcome to the family!

We are Tara and Nicole, sisters of The Haven. Our family has always been close, but our bond has strengthened over the years by our children. Between us, we have ten kids! Along with wonderfully dedicated parents, we also have a younger brother. It's our hope that in working with you, we'll extend this familial warmth and closeness.
