Meet the Doulas:


Gina Forbes
I am a professional doula with ALACE as well as an aspiring midwife. I currently combine my birth work with a job as the ALACE Workshop Coordinator, where I organize doula trainings across the US and Canada. I believe in the midwifery model of care and offer a variety of support for labor and birth, including massage, acupressure, techniques from yoga, compassionate emotional support and informational support. In my free time, I practice yoga, knit and craft, and participate in community events and organizations in the Boston/Cambridge area.




Corina Pinkerton
I am an ALACE-trained doula and live in Jamaica Plain with my husband. I am originally from Texas, but moved to the Boston area to attend graduate school at Harvard Divinity School and the Kennedy School of Government. I view birth as a sacred transition, and as a doula provide pain management and emotional support for laboring women. I also enjoy helping mothers and their partners design simple rituals and art projects to celebrate the pregnancy. (i.e. belly-casting, henna belly tattoos, family prayer services etc.) My husband and I are expecting our first child early this fall.




Sara Kennedy
My goal as a doula is to allow women to feel informed and empowered in birth. As a recent graduate from a master’s program in Women’s and Gender Studies and Sociology I understand the ways in which women’s experiences of birth can have the potential to be a site of great strength that translates to other avenues of their lives. I was born and raised abroad in Jakarta Indonesia and my worldview has been colored by this experience. I am open minded, grounded and dedicated to women’s health and the experience of birth.
