Hi, I’m Nadine Kennedy, and I’m so glad you’re here. If you're preparing to welcome a baby or already holding your little one in your arms please know you don’t have to figure it all out alone. As a certified Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), and Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), I’m here to offer gentle, personalized support during this tender season of transition. I understand the beauty and the chaos that can come with early parenthood, and I’m here to help you feel more confident, more rested, and fully supported as you navigate it all. My care is rooted in compassion, respect, and a deep belief in your ability to parent well. I show up with warmth, a listening ear, and practical help for everything from breastfeeding and bottle feeding to sleep routines and emotional recovery. I adapt to your style and needs sometimes that means quietly supporting in the background, and sometimes it means stepping in with clarity and direction. And if what you need is a strong hand to guide you through the tough or uncertain moments, I’m that person too. My goal is to walk alongside you in whatever way serves you best calmly, confidently, and with your unique journey in mind. You were never meant to do this alone, and I’d be honored to be part of your support team as you begin this sacred new chapter.

I am a certified postpartum doula, lactation counselor, mother, and designer. I was born in NYC and grew up between Brooklyn and Honolulu, where my parents met. Surrounded by natural beauty in Hawaii, I became really interested in plants and studied the ways they're used as natural medicine in indigenous cultures. I dove further into holistic wellness and lived in an ashram in India, where I obtained my yoga teaching certification. It became clear to me that one can be healed by connecting the mind and body with nature. I love to create nourishing meals that incorporate healing herbs to nurture the body into a balanced state of well-being. After I birthed my son, I really understood the challenges in postpartum and importance of supporting and honoring new parents in their special journey. I feel empowered to help postpartum families through one of the biggest transitions of their lives, to make them feel supported and provide resources in areas where they may feel uninformed. I currently reside in Ridgewood, NY and enjoy yoga, cooking, dancing, and tending my medicinal herb garden.

My name is Pamella Green I am a gentle, humble, and caring individual who practices kindness, patience, and compassion I am a newborn care provider, sleep specialist, and multiple and preemie specialist with over 30 years of experience in newborn care. I am fully vaccinated against Covid, Whooping cough, influenza, hepatitis and MMR. Additionally I have acquired certification in Pediatric CPR and First Aid from the American Heart Association. As a newborn care specialist, I provided vital personalized support in the comfort of their home.

I was lead to birthwork through my unwavering belief that we have ourselves and each other in order to create a better world. Each of us contains a unique set of skills and knowledge that allows us to rely on each other, to keep each other safe, and to come home to. Being a doula is serving my part in this world I hope we can continue to build together. I believe pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are incredibly special times in a person’s life, and what an honor it is to be accepted into one’s unique experience of having a baby. A mother and parent’s responsibility is to care for and to teach their baby, but often those very needs are not provided for them when they need it most. My goal as your doula is to center the autonomy, intution, and voice of the mother and to work in tandem with her needs. My doula philosophy is if I can center mom and her wellbeing, she will be able to best support her baby. Gracias por la luz, or “thank you for the light”, is borne from the strong and grounded, yet gentle nature of my maternal grandmother, Luz. The name comes from the light we all have within to do good onto others and emphasizes how my practice is grounded in gratitude for all families I am lucky enough to work and share space with.

Hi everyone, I’m Cecilia and I’m a trained postpartum doula servicing the Westchester county region. I’ve always had the “caregiver” mindset and I’ve always had a strong connection to parenthood. I’ve always said that it takes a village to raise children and I want to be part of that village because not everyone has a village near by. I struggled with my own postpartum journey over 11 years ago and now it’s my turn to be the person I wish I had.
