Marisa was an AMAZING postpartum doula! She was knowledgeable about so many things and even helped us with nursing, which was a struggle for us. She also made the best food that would sustain us for a week! It was so nice to have nourishment when we really had no time to care for ourselves in the early weeks. Her presence truly made our lives easier. Our baby and our dog also LOVED her - she really became like family! I recommend her so so highly.

I highly recommend Paula! I hired her for 6 weeks after my C-section, and she was so attentive with my baby. She was also wonderful with my 5-year old son, who absolutely loves her. Since then, I’ve brought her back twice while traveling for work, and each time she’s given me complete peace of mind. I fully trust Paula with the wellbeing of my daughter—she makes sure all her milestones are being met and that she’s cared for in the best way possible.

Hello My name is Ellen and I am a birth and postpartum doula. I offer non-medical support to new and seasonal families before, during, and after pregnancy. I believe that everyone has the right to make their own decisions empowered by knowledge, without judgment. I am passionate about helping families to thrive during the most beautiful and challenging phase of our lives: parenthood. ​ Some fun facts about me: I was born and raised in Brazil, currently living in Hopewell Junction/NY. My husband, Miguel, is Portuguese and we met during a ski trip in Vermont. We have a beautiful daughter who is 3 years old. The sweetest girl ever! I have a stepson who is (somehow) almost 13 years old. I love CrossFit and have been practicing it for 8 years. Except during 2020 - Wonder why?! And during my pregnancy. It was rough. I am a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother and constantly use their quotes for important moments in my life. I serve Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, and some Connecticut areas.

Ellen is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, kind, and communicative—I couldn't have asked for a better night nurse. Despite having a longer commute, she was always punctual, never a minute late. I had complete trust in her care for our newborn, and she exceeded all our expectations. I'd absolutely hire her over and over again.

Kerrian helped take care of our new born daughter since Day 1 until about 3 months and I am eternally grateful that Kerrian was in our lives during this precious period. Kerrian has decades of experience with newborns and from Day 1 was able to understand the needs of our daughter and teach us how to take care of her (she is our first child). She was so gentle, loving and tuned into our daughters cues, it was remarkable. She was also very respectful of our choices and mature enough to not only take care of our daughter, but also us, especially me as a first time mother. She was emotionally supportive, gave me confidence on days I needed it and also helped me on my feeding journey. I cannot recommend Kerrian enough to any family. You would be lucky to have her be part of your child's life.

I believe in the power of positive birth experiences and work to facilitate these through education, advocacy, and hands-on support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

As a doula and midwife for 13 years experiences, I am dedicated to supporting women and families through the journey of childbirth, providing care that is both nurturing and empowering. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that every birth is unique and deserving of respect, and that women should be at the center of their care, making informed decisions about their bodies and their babies.

Recent review

Hiring Neisha was one of the best decisions I made as I prepared for childbirth, and I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone. While I was initially unsure about whether I wanted to hire a doula, after interviewing Neisha I was convinced that it would be helpful to bring her on to support me and my husband before, during, and after the delivery of our first child, and I was not disappointed. I ultimately had a very positive birth experience, and I credit Neisha for giving me the preparation, knowledge, and validation needed to make informed decisions and clearly communicate my preferences during labor and delivery. Early on, she provided us with ample online resources to begin our childbirth preparation. During our prenatal meetings we developed a birth plan, practiced comfort techniques, and discussed the essentials of breastfeeding and newborn care. Throughout my labor Neisha calmly fielded our increasingly anxious calls about whether to take Pitocin and when to begin the epidural. She was a reassuring presence in the delivery room, suggesting alternative positions and providing encouragement to me and my husband through two hours of pushing. Postpartum, Neisha helped with breastfeeding, and continued to check in for several weeks after the end of our official contract as I dealt with a difficult and unexpected complication. Neisha’s professionalism and expertise combined with her warmth and sense of humor made her an invaluable part of my birth team. I would absolutely hire her again. (PS - she is also an incredible massage therapist!)

Kareema was so patient with myself and my husband through this process. She was so informative and helpful and understanding. Without her, my husband and I would not have been able to explore this process of what we had to endure in order to obtain our happiness in our family. She was knowledgeable in concerns during and after my pregnancy and I had faith and confidence in what I was doing with the information that she shared and the help that she gave. My experience with Kareema is a 10 out of 10.

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.

Recent review

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!!!

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.
