About Gentle Nest
Rhaquel Lima
Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum & Infant Care Doula
My approach is gentle, practical, and rooted in your baby’s natural rhythm. With professional training through ProDoula and the DNT Network, I support families with informed newborn care, postpartum guidance, and calm, clear education that helps you feel confident from day one.
I combine hands-on care, emotional support, and evidence-based practices to create a nurturing environment where parents feel understood, safe, and never alone. At Gentle Nest, I’m committed to meeting your family where you are, honoring your intuition, and providing steady, encouraging support through every step of this early journey.
My Philosophy
My philosophy centers on providing gentle, supportive, and evidence-based care that respects each family’s rhythm, culture, and values. I believe newborn care should feel calm, intentional, and aligned with your baby’s natural cues and your home environment. My focus is on building trust, offering reassurance, and creating a space where parents feel supported rather than rushed or judged.
I aim to simplify the early weeks by offering clear guidance, practical help, and a steady emotional presence. My role is not to take over, but to walk alongside you—providing structure when you need it and softness when things feel overwhelming. Gentle Nest was created to be a soothing, reliable resource for families navigating this delicate and transformative stage.
