Hello All, I am a British trained doula practicing in New Jersey. Seed-Doulas play a significant role in supporting individuals and families during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. 4 out of 5 infant deaths are preventable and the first step is understanding this life changing process.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Working with Dee the Labor Doula was truly a blessing! From the very first conversation, Dee made me feel comfortable, supported, and understood. She was there every step of the way checking in during my pregnancy, answering my late night questions, and making sure I felt prepared for birth. During labor, Dee was calm, reassuring, and such a strong advocate for me. She helped with breathing, comfort measures, and reminded me of my strength when I started to doubt myself. My partner also felt included and supported, which made the experience even more special for us as a family. Postpartum, Dee continued to check in and provide resources that made the transition into motherhood so much smoother. I can’t thank her enough for her compassion, knowledge, and care. If you’re in South Jersey or the Philadelphia area and looking for a doula, I HIGHLY recommend Dee the Labor Doula LLC! — Happy Mama & Family

Whether you desire hands-on comfort techniques, advocacy in a hospital setting, or emotional reassurance in your home birth, Ivy Haven Birthwork is dedicated to honoring your unique path to parenthood.

Recent review

Working with Ivy Haven Birthwork was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. From the very beginning, I felt so seen, heard, and genuinely supported. This wasn’t just about information or checklists — it was about having someone walk beside me with calm, grounded presence every step of the way. Throughout my pregnancy, I always felt like I had a safe space to ask questions, process emotions, and explore my birth preferences without any judgment. Every visit left me feeling more prepared, more empowered, and more connected to my body and my baby. During labor and birth, Ivy Haven showed up with such quiet strength and intuition — anticipating what I needed before I even had to ask. Whether it was hands-on comfort, encouraging words, or just holding space, the support was everything I hoped for and more. I truly don’t know how I would have navigated it all without that presence. And postpartum… wow. Having someone check in on me — not just the baby — made all the difference. Ivy held space for my recovery, my questions, my tears, and my joy. From helping with practical tips to simply sitting and listening, I felt truly cared for in those tender first weeks. Now, with my baby girl nearly four months old, I still carry the strength and grounding I gained from my experience with Ivy. I’m endlessly grateful.

I was at the ob office when i stumbled upon Emma, she had asked me if i was ok. I was in fact not ok I just found out I was a very high risk pregnancy, she mentioned to me that she was a Birth Doula. I honestly had no idea what that was, she gave me her information I told her I would pray on it. One day out of the blue I started to get really bad cramps and bleeding I immediately called her she calmed me down and told me to go to the labor and delivery I was 23 weeks she came and sat with me for hours till I was discharged. She has been absolutely amazing through this rough beautiful journey she didn’t judge me when I would as kinda stupid questions like “is my a**hole going to fall out” and very intimate questions. I would definitely recommend Emma to everyone who I see pregnant bc she’s awesome she listens, fights, and educates you. Thank you Emma for absolutely everything you have done for me and now helping me through my second baby!

Hello to all expecting parents! My name is Breanah and I am a labor and postpartum doula.

Whether you want a hospital birth, birth center birth, medicated, or unmedicated, I am here to support you in a way that you need support. My care is unbiased and individualized. I also believe that the type of care and support you receive during your labor affects postpartum.

I am Clarissa Alves, a certified doula and the heart behind Mooncradle Matrescence. My philosophy for birth work is rooted in bodily autonomy, informed consent, and deep respect for each family’s lived experience. As an Afro Indigenous mother, born in the Bronx and navigating the maternal healthcare system as a person of color, I understand how systems can fail families, silence intuition, and pathologize normal experiences. My work is grounded in decolonizing birth, honoring ancestral wisdom alongside evidence based care, and creating spaces where people feel seen, protected, and empowered to make choices that are right for them. I believe birth is not something to be controlled, but something to be supported, whether that looks like an unmedicated birth, a cesarean, a VBAC, or postpartum healing. My role is to hold space without judgment, provide honest education, and walk alongside families with compassion, reverence, and unwavering advocacy.

Cynthia has been such a great Doula in my postpartum experience. She has helped me emotionally and physically transition into the postpartum phase. She has a kind and gentle spirit. She is patient and thoughtful. On each occasion where she came, she provided a postpartum meal or a useful gift which was a very thoughtful surprise. She takes her role as a postpartum Doula very seriously and is extremely prepared and made me feel safe and assured during the postpartum activities, she also made herself available to me for any questions that I have following and provided some useful resources and networks related to issues and questions that I had. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is interested in postpartum services.

My name is Felicia Williams, and I am the founder of Genny Elizabeth Doula Services. I am a proud mother of six daughters, and my journey through motherhood — especially my own postpartum experiences — is the driving force behind the care I provide to families. During my fourth trimester, I was surrounded by the love and support of my family — my village. That support allowed me the space to rest, heal, and step into motherhood with confidence. However, through my journey, I became deeply aware that not every mother has access to that kind of care. Many women enter postpartum life exhausted, overwhelmed, and without consistent support.

Felicia was amazing!!!! She helped me transition into motherhood and I will always be grateful. I was able to rest due to her overnight care. She treated us like family. I am having another baby and I have already booked Felicia.

When I first was pregnant, I had a lot of fear surrounding the pregnancy. Fear that I would miscarry and fear of what was to come. Abby immediately provided comfort and support, and validated my feelings. She was with me every step of the way through my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. Even though she couldn't physically be with me much of that time, the encouragement, prayers, and support she provided me went such a long way. I'm so grateful for her, and look forward to the future support she will provide as our family continues to grow.
