Who we are
Gentle Rise of Hope is a community-rooted nonprofit strengthening families during pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood. We provide stabilization support, emotional wellness care, and access to essential resources that help parents and children thrive during life’s most vulnerable transitions.
Our programs are designed to reduce stress, increase caregiver capacity, and promote healthy development from prenatal stages through age five. Through in-home support, mental health programming, early childhood resource access, and trusted community partnerships, we work to ensure families have the foundation they need to feel steady, supported, and hopeful.
Our mission is simple: empower families, nurture parents, and help every child begin life with hope.
Meet the Founder
Caprice S. is a birth doula, mother, caregiver, and community advocate dedicated to uplifting families through every stage of pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood. With hands-on experience in doula support, crisis-line coordination, newborn and childcare work, and home care, she brings a compassionate and trauma-informed approach to every family she serves.
Her journey into perinatal work grew from her own experience as a mother, navigating both the challenges and joys of raising children while wanting better support systems for families. Through Gentle Rise of Hope, she is committed to building a community where parents feel seen, supported, and empowered from their first trimester through early childhood.
Caprice believes that every family deserves dignity, nurturing care, and access to resources that strengthen their home environment. Her vision is to create programs where families can thrive, heal, and grow with confidence.
