Christina was an absolute godsend for our family after our daughter was born. She was our night nurse for about two months, starting when our daughter was just two days old. Thanks to her, I was able to get the rest I desperately needed during those early postpartum weeks, which made an enormous difference in both my recovery and my mental health. Cookie was incredibly gentle, patient, and loving with our daughter. It was obvious from the very beginning that she truly adores babies and has a gift for caring for them. I'll always remember how sweet she was as she helped me give my daughter her very first bath. As a first time mom with very little baby experience, I learned so much from her. She taught me how to burp our daughter, how much to feed her, which bottle nipples worked best, how to recognize her sleepy cues, and how to soothe and rock her effectively. She was also an invaluable source of support as I learned to breastfeed and pump, while helping us thoughtfully decide when supplementing with formula was the right choice to ensure our daughter was getting what she needed. More than anything, Cookie gave me confidence. She provided so much reassurance during a time that felt completely new and overwhelming. I trusted her wholeheartedly and slept peacefully knowing my daughter was in such capable, loving hands. Beyond being an exceptional caregiver, Cookie is simply a joy to be around. She's warm, funny, and full of stories, and I genuinely enjoyed the positive energy she brought into our home. She even surprised us by bringing Guyanese food from one of her favorite restaurants for us to try, which was such a thoughtful gesture. At the same time, she was always respectful of our home, our routines, and the moments when our family needed quiet time together. We are incredibly grateful for the care, guidance, and kindness Cookie gave our family during one of the most important seasons of our lives. I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for an experienced, compassionate, and trustworthy newborn care specialist.

I am Joan Sherwood, founder of Peaceful Beginnings To You. My calling to become a doula was born from a personal experience. During the birth of my child, I was left alone in a hospital room without any support. My spouse and brother were sent home because I was not in active labor. My water had broken, so I was admitted, and I faced the daunting process of labor alone, in a secluded area until it was time to push. This experience, where I delivered a 9 -pound, 2-ounce baby without my loved one's present, ignited my passion to ensure that no other person would have to endure such solitude. My journey as a doula began 25 years ago when I assisted a family member through labor. Since then, I have been a source of support and guidance for family and friends, which eventually led me to pursue certification as a birth doula through DONA International. I am deeply committed to holistic birth and postpartum care, and my extensive training reflects this dedication. My education includes a Family Development Credential, studies at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, the Center for Homeopathic Education, and the Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences. I am also a certified Calm Birth Instructor, Infant Massage Instructor Trainer, Womb Sauna Practitioner, and have received postpartum training from Indigemama, BirthMama, Traditional Postpartum Practitioner, and Birth Arts International. My approach to doula care is centered on the needs of the laboring person. I come with no preconceived notions, and I remain as fluid and flexible as possible to meet the evolving needs of each individual. In addition, to running my private doula practice, I have provided doula care to underserved communities as a doula and doula mentor for a federally funded program in Brooklyn.

Joan was my doula for both my pregnancies, one in 2014 for my now 8 year old and again during the pandemic for my 2 year old. I highly recommend Joan she provided such consistent support during both pregnancy, while birthing and postpartum. I was so fortune because Joan is just naturally resourceful and intuitive and she was right by my side every step the way. To this day I consider her such an empowering and beautiful human being and I am thankful that she was with me on my journey into motherhood -- I would choose her again and again and again!!!

Elizabeth Cano

Her passion for childbirth began in her birthing her four children within five years and learning the amazing power of the mind, soul, and body in physiologic birth and thereafter. Becoming a DONA trained Doula has given her the professional skills and resources to help other birthing people and their partner(s) awaken and tune into this power. As your Doula, she is honored to hold space for you and meet you where you are along your reproductive journey. She will provide emotional, informational, and physical support and hold your hand as you learn to advocate for your preferences in what is the most personal and sacred time in your life. By encouraging you to feel confident, fully supported, in control of your choices, and well equipped with the tools and comfort measures, her goal is to help you optimize any path your birth takes. She especially wants to do all she can to educate the community about the power of birth support, increase access to these evidence based services, and work with BBIPOC and trans and queer birthing people who often experience trauma and inequitable care along their gestational journey. As a Latinx Doula, she is a strong proponent of reclaiming and honoring the cultural roots of birthing communities and their traditional practices. Elizabeth is bilingual in Spanish.

Recent review

Elizabeth supported me throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Throughout my pregnancy it was so helpful to have her just a text or phone call away if I had any questions, anxiety, or someone to vent to. As a first time mom, I had a lot of questions (e.g. "is XYZ normal??") and put a lot of pressure on myself to become educated on pregnancy and labor/birth. Elizabeth always provided empathetic and evidenced-based responses which helped me make informed decisions. It was a blessing that I didn't need to go down Google rabitholes. She proactively checked in on me, helped me prepare for doctor appointments, and supported me during any complications that arose during my pregnancy. She educated my husband and me on what to expect during labor, how he could support me, and how we could advocate for the care we wanted. She helped us develop a birth plan and stick to it. My labor and birth went better than I could have hoped for, and without her, I don't think that would have been the case. To anyone considering doula, I highly recommend working with Elizabeth!
