Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Clayton, NJ

Hi, my name is Iris, and I am a doula in the Philadelphia area! My driving philosophy is that it takes a village--and for many years, I delved into that through nannying, helping parents care and raise their littles, but now my goal has been to rewind a little--and focus on the foundation of where that starts. With the parents and the births! As a doula, I am here to support you in your journey to parenthood! While that may look different depending on your family's needs, it generally means I am here to support you in figuring out what a satisfying birth looks like to you and to advocate for you during the stress of labor, so that you may focus on the labor itself! So while I am newer to the doula realm, I am a veteran in "being the village" and supporting growing families--I can't wait to support yours! I am currently offering discounts for my first ten clients and payment plans/sliding scale is always available as well! Feel free to email with inquiries regarding services or availability at Imwfamilysupport@gmail.com.

Hi! I'm Yanesa, a certified doula and founder of Doulas Through Life. We support families in Eastern PA. We offer primarily prenatal, postpartum, overnight support, birth, newborn care, emotional wellness, and more. I myself have been a doula for 5 years now currently work with an agency as well. Whether you are a first-time parent or growing your family, my goal is to help you feel confident and cared for. I like working with kids but as a doula I have grown to love working with the parents as well. Seeing a family grow and gain confidence is so precious and fulfilling. Both mom and dad (yes dads can have postpartum) need love to. And I try to emphasize that within my company. I majored in public health and have used that knowledge to better equip doula care to be more community based and well known and not some secret society haha. It doesn't always take a village but it truly does make all the difference having one by your side and we all deserve too. Doulas Through Life is a team-based practice, so we match each family with the doula who best fits their needs, availability, and type of support requested.

Hi, I’m Tina, a full-spectrum state certified doula based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have three years of experience supporting families and have had the honor of attending over 20 births.

I’m a proud mother of five, grandmother of five, and the founder of a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and empowering families in my community. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that birth is a sacred and deeply personal experience. Every person deserves to feel safe, heard, respected, and supported as they navigate pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the many transitions that come with growing a family. I believe in informed consent, body autonomy, advocacy, and honoring each person’s unique choices without judgment.

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!

You weren’t meant to do this alone. There comes a moment after the visitors leave, the meals stop coming, and the texts become less frequent. It’s 2:43 a.m. Your baby has been awake for hours. You’re running on almost no sleep. You haven’t eaten a real meal today. You’re wondering if you’re doing any of this right. No one prepares you for that part. I’m Afrika, a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with over 17 years of experience supporting more than 100 families through pregnancy, birth, and the tender weeks that follow. I don’t just care for babies. I care for the people who just became parents. Whether you need overnight newborn care so you can finally sleep, daytime support while you recover, help establishing feeding routines, emotional encouragement, or simply another capable adult in your home, I meet you exactly where you are. When I’m in your home, my goal is simple: I want you to exhale. To eat while your food is still warm. To shower without rushing. To sleep knowing your baby is in experienced hands. To feel cared for while you’re caring for everyone else. Because healing happens best when someone is helping hold the weight. This isn’t luxury. This is how families were always meant to be supported. If you’re preparing for your first baby, or welcoming another, I’d be honored to become part of your village.

Greetings All!

Hi, I’m Kellie, a birth doula, pediatric nurse, women’s health herbalist, and the heart behind The Nourished Mother. I bring over a decade of nursing experience into the birth space, along with a deep reverence for the physiology of a woman’s body. My approach blends evidence-based care with herbal wisdom, breathwork, and somatic practices that help women soften, trust, and embody their power during pregnancy and birth. I believe birth preparation is not just about learning positions or writing a birth plan. It is about reconnecting to your body. It is about learning how your breath can soften your pelvic floor. It is about helping your partner feel confident holding you through intensity. It is about cultivating safety in your nervous system so your body can open. During our time together, we will prepare not only for labor, but for postpartum. We will discuss hormonal shifts, recovery, nourishment, support systems, and the emotional transformation into motherhood. I often incorporate herbal teas, grounding rituals, breathwork, and practical postpartum planning into our prenatal sessions. As both a nurse and a doula, I am comfortable navigating conversations with medical providers while also protecting the sacredness of your experience. I am a calm, steady presence who listens deeply and advocates clearly. My hope is that you feel informed, supported, and deeply connected to your body as you step into birth and motherhood. You deserve to feel nourished in every phase ❤️

Meet Kamilla Kamilla is a Full Spectrum Doula through Cornerstone Birthwork Training, as well as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) trained through Newborn Care Solutions. With over 5 years of international experience, she is passionate about providing compassionate, knowledgeable, and individualized support to families during the postpartum and newborn period. Born and raised in Brazil in a large, loving family, Kamilla grew up surrounded by caregiving. Inspired by her grandmother, a traditional midwife, she developed a deep connection to newborn care, maternal support, and nurturing practices from an early age. Her passion for postpartum care became even more personal after supporting her own mother through postpartum depression. This experience gave her a deeper understanding of how vulnerable, emotional, and overwhelming the postpartum transition can be. Through her professional experience, she has also supported families navigating baby blues and postpartum depression, always providing compassionate, nonjudgmental support while recognizing when additional professional care may be needed. Kamilla has additional training in Montessori Education, Sleep Training through Summer Secret, and Early Childhood Development. She is currently continuing her education in Breastfeeding Education through CAPPA and pursuing her nursing education to further expand her knowledge of maternal and newborn care. With a background in law and extensive hands-on experience caring for newborns and supporting families, Kamilla brings together professional education, practical experience, and genuine compassion. She understands that postpartum is not always the beautiful, effortless experience portrayed online. It can be exhausting, emotional, unpredictable, and overwhelming. Her goal is to create a calm and supportive environment where parents can rest, recover, bond with their baby, and feel confident in their new role. Kamilla provides individualized support based on each family’s unique needs, with a focus on newborn care, postpartum recovery, sleep support, feeding support, and the emotional well-being of the family. Her philosophy is simple: When we care for the mother, we care for the entire family.

Hi my name is Nikkita and I am a labor doula and placenta encapsulation specialist based in DE. I've always had a love and awe for the miracle of conception, labor, and childbirth even before having kids of my own. Reflecting on my three different birthing experiences catapulted my desire to support and empower expecting mothers before during and after their labor. I love adding a little bit of laughter and a lot of love to every labor and delivery room I enter. I attributes the life I've been blessed to live as a wife and mother and the calling to be a doula to my Christian faith and the peace that comes with it. My personal goal is to support every momma I have the pleasure of serving with my whole heart, so that the momma can have a birthing experience that makes her proud!
