Becoming a mother has shaped not only who I am—but also how I support others. I’ve experienced birth in many forms: a hospital birth with medical interventions, a hospital birth without medication, and finally, a peaceful home birth. Each one was powerful, unique, and taught me something new about strength, surrender, and support. My journey sparked a passion for supporting women during this incredibly personal and transformative time. I became a doula because I believe every mother deserves to feel seen, supported, and truly heard. My work is rooted in empathy and a deep respect for each person’s unique experience. I offer care that meets you where you are—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether it’s helping you prepare, offering reassurance, or simply holding space, I’m here to support you in making this journey your own.

Hey, I’m Kaleish, a public health practitioner, doctoral student (in public health) and a certified full-spectrum (birth, postpartum, NICU) doula. I am currently in training to be a high risk doula and a certified community breastfeeding educator. Think of me as your perinatal support person. I support women and birthing people of color who are feeling dismissed, unsure, or overwhelmed during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I started this work because I realized how many women of color are navigating pregnancy without the support, guidance, or advocacy they deserve. It deeply concerns me how often Black and Brown women have their concerns dismissed by medical providers—sometimes resulting in traumatic and avoidable birth experiences. ​ Now, I help women and birthing people of color move from feeling unheard and unsure to feeling informed, supported, and empowered to advocate for themselves and their birth preferences. If you’re a woman or birthing person of color feeling dismissed, unsure, or overwhelmed—you’re in the right place. This journey is yours. I’m simply here to hold space, answer your questions, and make sure you feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way. ​ Random Facts: I've supported births at Katz Women's Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, Hungtinton Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns and NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital. I am a lefty/ left handed. I don't have a sense of direction even with a map, however, I will find my way to support you. I was born in the Caribbean and spent most of my childhood and some of my teenage years living there. I love me some 80s and 90s black sitcoms. ​​ Book Your Free Consultation: Book Now via https://calendly.com/kaysgentlehands/30min?back=1&month=2026-07

I am a career nanny specializing in newborn and postpartum care, certified in all aspects of NCS, and deeply passionate about supporting families during the earliest weeks of a baby’s life. What sets me apart is my understanding of babies at their core I am trained in the Dunstan Baby Language, which allows me to recognize that babies are communicating from day one. By interpreting their cues accurately, I can meet their needs promptly, helping both baby and parents feel confident and supported. My approach to newborn care combines the attentiveness of a certified newborn specialist with the practicality and warmth of a nanny. I aim to make every family’s experience comfortable, organized, and nurturing not an extended hospital stay. I manage all aspects of nursery care, including restocking changing stations, organizing wardrobes and baby laundry, advising on items to purchase, knowing when to move up in diaper sizes, pacifiers, and bottle nipples, and managing baby nutrition and breastfeeding support. I am attentive to subtle cues for congestion, acid reflux, and other newborn concerns, providing guidance to parents with care and reassurance. Beyond the essentials, I make the most of babies’ small wake windows reading to them, doing tummy time, mirror play, floor play, and other developmental activities that are often overlooked in the newborn period. I believe these early interactions are critical for growth, bonding, and joy. I choose not to wear scrubs, preferring comfortable, professional attire that keeps the household feeling warm and approachable. I find that removing the medical atmosphere allows everyone especially other children in the home to feel at ease and keeps the energy light and positive. My goal is to provide a holistic, confident, and joyful approach to newborn care, helping families navigate this special time with calm, expertise, and heart.

My experience as a Doula dates back to when I supported family and friends, unknowingly providing post-partum and supportive care. I've worked in the healthcare field for 15 (+) years at various hospitals & clinics, specifically in women's reproductive health. Having worked in both the private & public sectors of healthcare, I realized I wanted to not only support but advocate for those who could not speak out for themselves, all while being a source to women that needed resources. I didn't realize that all of this would bring me full circle to my purpose of becoming a doula! I've worked with women and families, providing evidence-based support for labor, post-partum, mental, & spiritual needs. During the 4th trimester (postpartum) Not only will I support and offer education as to what to expect for yourself during this physically and emotional time but I will also help you understand your newborn developments and milestones.

My best friend asked me to be "her doula" 17 years ago. I flew to LA and planned to be there for 10 days in hopes the baby would come in that window of time. I sang and whispered into her belly and Introduced myself to her baby. We had quite a time during the labor as her midwives guided her through the experience. She was incredible! She chose a home birth which ended at the hospital. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Witnessing the birth was transcendent and inspiring! When I flew back to NYC, I vowed that when our youngest daughter was in college, I would become a Doula. I grew up in Minnesota. I graduated with a BFA from the acting program at the University of North Carolina School of the Performing Arts. I have a background in dance, singing, yoga and martial arts. I was an American Council of Exercise certified personal trainer for 12 years. When I became pregnant, becoming a certified prenatal trainer was ideal. I especially loved working with all my pregnant clients. Having an online health and wellness business with Arbonne International has been another passion of mine. Over the years, I have coached a team on how to build their own online businesses and shared this opportunity in a public speaking setting for large groups. I teach my clients the benefits of aligning with a vegan brand they can trust and the value of choosing a B corporation, and living a more green lifestyle.

My name is Liz, and I'm a certified postpartum and newborn care doula based in New York City. I came to the U.S. from Brazil, and my path into this work grew naturally from years of caring for families up close — first as an au pair, then as a nanny, and eventually as a doula.

I show up for every family with warmth, expertise, and a genuine commitment to making sure no mother feels alone during that time.
