Abriel Culver - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Abriel

Hello everyone! My name is Abriel Culver, and I’m a community-based full-spectrum doula located in Orange, New Jersey. Supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is something I’m truly passionate about. I believe every family deserves to feel heard, respected, informed, and supported throughout their journey. My background includes hands-on experience supporting families through prenatal visits, birth, and postpartum, along with education in childbirth, newborn care, infant feeding, perinatal bereavement, and mental health. My approach is rooted in compassion, education, encouragement, and creating a judgment-free space where families feel comfortable making informed decisions. I believe in the importance of rebuilding the village around families and reminding parents that they don’t have to navigate this journey alone. I’m always eager to learn, grow, and expand my knowledge so I can better serve the families and communities around me. Outside of doula work, I’m a family woman who loves making memories and finding new adventures to take on with my family of six. I’m always looking for something new to explore, experience, or get into. And if you ever need to find me, there’s a good chance I’m enjoying a cookie or two! 😂🍪🌻

Frequently asked questions

What is a doula?

A doula is a trained support professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Doulas do not replace medical providers but work alongside families to help them feel informed, supported, and empowered.

What services does Rooted Village Doula provide?

Rooted Village Doula offers full-spectrum support, including prenatal preparation, childbirth education, labor and birth support, postpartum care, newborn care education, infant feeding guidance, peer lactation education, and pregnancy or infant loss support.

When should I book a doula?

You can reach out at any stage of pregnancy. However, booking during the second trimester or early third trimester gives us more time to build a relationship, discuss your preferences, and prepare for your birth and postpartum experience.

Do I have to be having a natural or unmedicated birth to work with a doula?

Absolutely not! I support families with different birth preferences, including medicated births, unmedicated births, inductions, and planned cesarean births. My role is to support your choices without judgment.

Do you support hospital births, birth centers, and home births?

Yes! I provide non-clinical doula support for families planning hospital births, birth center births, and home births, depending on availability and the agreed-upon scope of support.

Will you replace my doctor, midwife, or nurse?

No. A doula does not provide medical care, diagnose conditions, perform clinical procedures, or make medical decisions. I work alongside your medical team while helping you understand your options, communicate your preferences, and feel supported.

What happens during postpartum visits?

Postpartum visits are centered around your family’s needs. Support may include newborn care education, infant feeding guidance, emotional encouragement, help with baby-related household tasks, and assistance adjusting to your new routine.

Can my partner or support person be involved?

Of course! Partners and support people are welcome. I can offer encouragement, education, and practical suggestions to help them feel confident and involved throughout the experience.

Do you offer payment plans?

Payment arrangements may be available depending on the package and agreement. Please reach out to discuss options before booking.

Do you accept Medicaid or insurance?

Please contact me to discuss current payment options and possible coverage. Medicaid and insurance coverage depend on eligibility, provider enrollment, and plan requirements. Coverage is not guaranteed.

What if I go into labor before my due date?

Babies don’t always follow calendars! Once we have an agreement in place, we will discuss your on-call period and communication plan so we can prepare for the possibility of an early arrival.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple! Reach out to schedule a discovery conversation. We’ll discuss your pregnancy or postpartum needs, answer your questions, review available packages, and determine whether Rooted Village Doula is the right fit for your family. Your journey deserves support. Your voice deserves to be heard. And every family deserves a village. 🌻
