Samantha Long
Certified Postpartum Doula
Hi, I’m Samantha, a certified postpartum doula serving families in the Richmond, VA area. I created Daisy Sun Beginnings to offer heart-centered support to parents during the tender fourth trimester.
My approach is rooted in empowerment, compassion, and connection. I believe that when parents feel safe, rested, and cared for, they’re better able to bond with their baby and move through this transition with confidence and peace.
Before becoming a doula, I spent years drawn to nurturing others - through caregiving, holistic wellness, and community support. Becoming a mother myself deepened my understanding of how much healing, rest, and reassurance new parents truly needed.
Credentials and Experience:
Certified through ABG Postpartum Doula Training
Infant CPR + First Aid Certified
Insured + background checked
Continuing education in: Infant sleep foundations, lactation and feeding support, herbal postpartum care, and trauma-informed perinatal support
If you’re preparing to welcome your baby or are already in the thick of those early weeks, I’d love to walk alongside you.
