A Parent's Paradise Charities founder Doree Handford is a mother of six, childbirth educator, doula, speaker, and passionate advocate for families who believes parents were never meant to do this alone. Drawing from nearly two decades of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood — while also raising four children on the autism spectrum — she has dedicated her life to creating spaces where parents feel seen, supported, and empowered. Through her nonprofit work, public speaking, and community events like Mom Prom, Doree is leading a movement to break generational cycles of isolation and overwhelm by building stronger communities around parents. Her vision is not only to provide practical resources and respite care, but to help create a cultural shift where asking for support is normalized and families can truly thrive.
