Greetings All My name is Iyonia Shavon. I have been a Certified Perinatal Doula, Uzazi Village, 2019, Certified Labor Doula, CAPPA 2023, & NJDLC Doula Mentor. In 2021 I became a NJ Medicaid Doula contract provider with all New Jersey Managed Care organizations and founded my private doula practice Kind Comforting Births LLC. In January of 2023 I contracted with Commercial Horizon BCBS NJ Omnia self pay plans . In August 2024 I expanded to offer services to Horizon BCBS Federal Employee Pilot Program for doula care! As of December 2025 I can now accept Carrot Insurance! I have a passion to serve my community and all birthing persons especially those in BIPOC communities in efforts to decrease infant & maternal mortality rates. I will honor your, voice, and ensure your are provided you with the birth experience you’ve dreamt of. My mission is to decrease the terrible disparities in maternal black health by serving birth by birth and mentoring future doulas.

Iyonia was such a blessing as my doula. She was so informative, made us feel comfortable and confident about going into labor with a plan (and a plan b, c , d… and so on) to have the labor experience me and my husband wanted while also managing our expectations (very important)! I felt alone and lost during the birth of my first born. I felt like we were isolated and kind of “rushed” through the experience. But Iyonia made sure I, (and my support team) knew my RIGHTS as a patient, the birthing options available to us, and a plan to avoid the things that I was unhappy about with my first birth. You don’t know what you don’t know, so she made sure we knew what ask for. One experience I will always hold close to my heart was after my husband went to be with the baby after my c-section, she stayed with me, held my hand and continued to give me encouraging words at a time when emotions (and hormones) were about to get the best of me! I will always appreciate her for that. It made a huge difference.

Hello! My name is Janet. I have over 15+ years of experience as a Doula and Birth Educator. I am passionate about the work I do and honored to share your birth journey with you. I teach Birth Education Classes online and in your home if you are local to me., All classes include a postpartum follow up and postpartum check-ins as needed. I attend births as a Doula on a limited basis, generally taking one client per month. I have experience supporting clients that are giving birth at home, in the hospital or a birth center. I will assist you in creating a birth plan if you desire one. Together we will discuss what your plans are for your birth, whether you plan to go unmedicated, or desire pain medication. You will have support from an experienced Doula to make sure your questions are answered and you have the tools you need to feel confident and empowered. I facilitate an online VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) Support Group which helps those who are planning a VBAC or want to learn how to avoid a primary cesarean. I’m looking forward to meeting you and assisting you on your pregnancy journey!

Where to start? My husband and I met Janet earlier in our pregnancy when we decided we wanted to have a doula for our first birthing experience. As soon as I spoke with Janet, I knew it was going to be a great match. Janet not only took care of me, she also made sure my husband was taken care of. During our prenatal meetings, she asked us a lot of questions about what we wanted for our birth experience and took our wishes very seriously. She did not try to push anything onto us and made sure we were making educated decisions on subjects we weren’t as familiar with. Janet came with an abundance of resources and knowledge, as well as a lot of experience. Leading up to the day I went into labor, Janet and I spoke on a very regular basis via text and she was always available for any questions I had. During my labor, Janet helped to remind me the techniques we discussed in our prenatal meetings and to take things one contraction at a time. I am so thankful for her and could not recommend her doula services more.

Meet Marla, a dedicated birth doula whose practice blends compassionate, hands-on labor support with the power of hypnosis. With years of experience guiding families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, Marla offers more than physical comfort measures—she brings a toolkit of relaxation and hypnosis techniques designed to help you feel calm, capable, and in control throughout your birth experience. Hypnosis for birth works by helping you shift out of fear and tension and into a state of deep relaxation, where your body can labor more naturally and efficiently. The benefits are well documented: Reduced perceived pain — Deep relaxation lowers the body's stress response, which can ease the intensity of contractions. Shorter, smoother labors — When fear and tension decrease, labor often progresses more efficiently because the body isn't working against itself. Less need for medical pain intervention — Many who practice hypnosis techniques report needing fewer interventions like epidurals or pain medication. Greater sense of calm and control — Guided visualization and positive suggestion help you stay present and confident rather than overwhelmed. Faster postpartum recovery — Lower stress hormones during labor are linked to a smoother transition into postpartum healing and bonding. With Marla by your side, you'll learn self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques well before your due date, so that by the time labor begins, your mind and body already know how to work together. Her goal is simple: to help you feel supported, empowered, and deeply at peace as you welcome your baby into the world.

I believe that pregnancy and birth are powerful life experiences that deserve care, education, and continuous emotional and physical support. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and supportive environment where families feel informed, confident, and heard. I am committed to helping clients understand their options, advocate for their needs, and make decisions that align with their values and birth preferences. Through encouragement, comfort techniques, and evidence-based information, I support families throughout pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. My mission is to ensure every family feels respected, empowered, and supported during one of the most important journeys of their lives.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about OS Care Service. From the very beginning, Olga made me feel supported, informed, and truly cared for. Her calm presence and deep knowledge helped ease my anxieties throughout my pregnancy and especially during labor. She provided not only physical comfort techniques but also emotional support that made such a difference in my birthing experience. Olga was attentive, patient, and always available when I had questions or needed reassurance. After the birth, her newborn care support was just as incredible—she helped me feel more confident as a new parent and made the transition so much smoother. If you are looking for someone who is compassionate, professional, and genuinely passionate about what she does, I highly recommend OS Care Service. Having Olga as my doula was one of the best decisions I made for myself and my baby.

Charlene Walker

I am a full-spectrum doula offering compassionate support through every stage of the journey — from birth and postpartum to grief and placenta care. My heart is in holding space for all experiences, whether it’s welcoming new life, processing loss, or finding healing in the postpartum period. I believe in the power of connection — not just between parent and baby, but also between people and cultures. I love helping others explore and embrace different traditions, ways of healing, and perspectives from around the world. Through this work, I aim to nurture, uplift, and walk alongside every person I serve with empathy, respect, and deep care.

Recent review

Having a doula is truly worth it, and my experience with Charlene Walker was amazing. We first connected online during the pandemic, and even though she was new to being a doula, her passion for children and helping others really stood out. Charlene later visited me and my kids in Baltimore, attended my doctor’s appointments virtually, and supported me through my planned C-section. She made sure my children were cared for and that I had everything I needed for delivery. She wasn’t just my doula — she felt like family. Charlene kept me calm and reassured throughout my birth experience. During a later doctor’s visit for my son, a nurse mentioned how much she remembered Charlene from the delivery and praised how well she handled things when my baby briefly wasn’t breathing. When I called Charlene about it, she shared that her focus had been making sure I was okay and that she had been in constant contact with the nurses. That meant so much to me. Even now, we stay in touch, and I can always reach out to her for advice or support. Charlene is compassionate, professional, and truly dedicated to her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable doula!

Eilís Crossen

20 years of experience

Dia duit, hello! I am Eilís and I am a certified doula and full spectrum birth worker in Philadelphia PA. I have long been drawn to pregnancy and birth, and after the birth of my first baby at 16, I first trained to be a doula in 2005. I apprenticed and assisted with midwives for many years, and am also a trauma-informed social worker, herbalist, yoga teacher, and energy and body worker. I weave my experiences and skill sets together, providing intuitive and tailored physical, informational, educational, mental, emotional, and spiritual supports. I see the role of a doula or monitrice as a steward- someone to tend to and watch over the person, couple, family during labor, birth, and postpartum and providing care and remedies as is fit and called for. Every birth, body, baby is unique and I see it as my role to meet everyone where they're at. Some people need every bell and whistle, some people need their back squeezed for 12 hours, some people need a quiet, confident witness to be present, but hands off. I am here for all of that and everything in between. Outside of birth work, I am a mother to seven and I love to garden, cook, learn Irish, swim in all bodies of water, and overall, just have a good time of it.

Eilís was my birth doula for my first child and I couldn't recommend her more! My husband and I felt comfortable immediately the first time we met with her and she met with us several times pre-natal to talk through what I wanted in my birth experience. She was on-call the weeks around my due date and I felt comfortable texting her when I wasn't sure if my contractions had started. Having her with me during labor was so helpful! She offered counter-pressure, suggested positions, helped me navigate decision-making, and talked me through contractions. It was so helpful to have someone on my team with calm confidence. After my baby was born, Eilís met with me several times, she brought me teas, she talked through my birth experience and offered advice on early parenthood. Truly, I would not want to do this again without her!

Peace and blessings! My name is Xiomara, I am a mother of a beautiful girl. I am from the very small town of Pemberton, located in Southern New Jersey. I take pride and I am inspired by my (Afro Caribbean-Latina) Panamanian roots and culture. I believe in holistic and wholistic healing and practices, and the balance between the two. I am 2x certified full spectrum doula, (through Doula Trainings International and the state of NJ via NJMIHIA), Reiki Master, and Placenta Specialist. I became a doula because of my own birthing experience, which led me to my passion for birth-work. Helping families by educating, advocating, and providing a safe space for a meaningful and purposeful birth. No birth is the same, no pregnancy is the same. However, by providing a safe space, and exceptional services, we can shift the narrative so that more families are aware of birth-workers within and outside of the healthcare system, with a focus on culturally competent care. Our mission at The Purple Purpose LLC is to inspire our clients to become the highest most confident versions of themselves, while embracing their journey, from the beginning until the end. We aim to bring forth a new way to assist families in maintaining their health and wellness, before, during, and after birth. We want to bring a deeper level of holistic and wholistic practice that will allow personal and professional growth, but most importantly, a safe, successful, and purposeful birth .

I had the pleasure of working with Xiomara for prenatal, birth, and postpartum support, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about her work, and truly attentive to the needs of her clients. From the very beginning, she was professional and supportive, helping me create a birth plan that reflected my wishes and values. During labor, she was a strong advocate for me and played a key role in making the experience smooth and empowering. Thanks to her support, I was able to have an unmedicated birth, which was a significantly better experience compared to my first. Her care didn’t stop at birth—she continued to check in during the postpartum period and even recommended excellent services, like a lymphatic drainage massage, that really helped with recovery. She’s very well-connected and a great resource all around. If you’re looking for a dedicated and compassionate doula, Xio is absolutely the one to call.

I can’t recommend Mony enough! She was my birth doula and supported me throughout my entire pregnancy. After my prenatal appointments, I often left with so many questions, and Mony was always there to answer them, reassure me, and help me understand everything better. On the day of my birth, Mony stayed by my side the entire time. She gave me so much emotional and physical support, and my husband was also very grateful to have her there with us. What meant the most to me was that even after my baby was born, Mony stayed with us until we were moved to the postpartum room. She helped me during those first moments with my newborn and made me feel more confident and supported. Having Mony by my side during such an important time in my life was truly special. I’m so grateful for all the care and support she gave me and my family. If you are looking for a doula who will truly care about you, listen to you, and support you throughout your birth, I highly recommend Mony. I’m so happy I had her by my side.

— Jessica Grandizoli, review of Mony Negri September 2026

I’m a second-time mom, but my first experience was 13 years ago. When I got pregnant again, I realized how much had changed and how many questions I had. Hiring Mony was one of the best decisions I made. I had prenatal consultations with her and later received her postpartum support as well, all online. It made me feel so much more confident and prepared. She explains everything in a simple way, has a lot of experience, and most importantly, knows how to support and listen to a mother without judgment. I highly recommend Mony’s services to other moms, especially those going through a new pregnancy after many years.

— Chimene Morioka, review of Mony Negri September 2026

We had such a wonderful experience with Gabrielle as our night doula! She was incredibly kind, warm, and caring, and immediately made me feel completely comfortable knowing my newborn was in such good hands overnight. Having someone I trusted caring for my baby allowed me to actually sleep and recover, which was truly invaluable during those first few days. Gabrielle took such great care of our little one throughout the night—feeding her, changing her, soothing her, and making sure she was comfortable. She also kept a detailed tracker of all of her feedings, wet and dirty diapers, and everything that happened overnight, so I always knew exactly how the night went when I woke up. Most importantly, I always felt that my baby was safe, loved, and genuinely cared for with Gabrielle. She gave me so much peace of mind during such a special and vulnerable time, and I’m incredibly grateful we had her. I would absolutely recommend Gabrielle to any new mom looking for some extra support and much-needed rest!
