Bringing a baby into your life can be a beautiful yet, overwhelming experience. I've been a doula for 11 years and counting, so I've been doing this long enough to know that every family is different. Because of that, I like to get to know the families I work with so that I can support them in a way that is specific to their individual needs. I do not make the decisions for parents or tell them what to do, I empower them to have the confidence in their own parental decisions with evidenced based information, care and empathy. On top of being a doula, I'm a Childbirth educator, Certified Lactation Counselor, Nutritionist, Holistic Health Coach, Certified Sports Nutrition Coach, and Personal Trainer with specialties in pelvic floor, core health, prenatal and postpartum fitness. I bring all of my skills to families to support them in the way that is specific to their needs.

Hello, everyone. I am a birth and postpartum doula in Somerset, NJ. I am passionate about providing physical and emotional support to future parents. My goal is to dwell on positive thoughts and affirmations to evoke an informational and positive pre and postpartum experience. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my three sons, playing catch with my havapoo and spending time with my husband.

Hi! I'm Lorraine. I'm a doula and lactation counselor. I'm also the founder of Repose Postpartum, a postpartum care company that focuses exclusively on recovery, newborn care, and breastfeeding. I've worked with about 300 families throughout NJ and NYC over the past 8 years. I encourage you to think of yourself as the CEO of your home, and to bring in a doula as a postpartum consultant who will help you navigate their new normal and help you start their parenthood journey on the right foundation. That looks like: • Ensuring that your physical and mental health is prioritized, as it's the foundation for your family's unit • Translating newborn care into systems that actually support rest and recovery • Guiding you on how to better understand and respond to your baby's cues and behavior • Providing breastfeeding counseling so that you can feel more informed and supported on how they feed their baby • Educating you on the intricacies of newborn sleep, and helping to implement gentle and realistic sleep routines. I accept most benefit programs offered by employers. I'd love to learn more about how my team and I can support you during the early postpartum period.

Hello, my name is Coleen Christie, and I am a Newborn Care Specialist based in Minnesota, available for travel. I have spent the past five years supporting families during the early weeks after birth through overnight and 24 hour care. I am passionate about helping parents feel steady and informed in what can be a vulnerable season. I believe newborn care should feel structured but calm. I focus on safe sleep, full feeds, and recognizing subtle changes early so small concerns do not grow into bigger ones. Families often bring me in during transitions such as first time parenting, twins, or reflux challenges. I guide with experience while respecting the tone of the home, and I work toward a clear goal. By the time I leave, the baby is more settled, and the parents feel confident maintaining their routine. Outside of work, I value quiet time, reading, and staying active. I believe the same steadiness I bring into my own life is what allows me to show up grounded and consistent for the families I serve.

I’m a certified postpartum doula and a graduate student studying Infant Development and Family Early Intervention. My approach combines hands-on support with evidence based knowledge to help families navigate the early months with confidence and ease. I focus on understanding each baby’s unique needs and supporting parents in ways that promote healthy growth, secure attachment and overall well-being. From soothing nighttime fussiness to helping establish routines that encourage development, my goal is to create a calm, nurturing environment where both baby and parents feel supported and empowered. I believe that parents thrive when they feel informed, supported and confident and that babies thrive when they receive consistent, compassionate care. By combining my doula training with graduate-level study in infant development, I provide guidance, reassurance and practical strategies tailored to each family’s preferences and needs.

I usually say I accidentally fell into the field of birth work, but I guess that's not totally true. After spending a decade abroad running a foster home/cardiac surgery program for babies with complex congenital heart defects and maternal/fetal health programs for at-risk indigenous families, I unexpectedly found myself stuck in New York City in early 2020, waiting out this little bug called "Covid-19" that was shutting borders all around the world... I certified as a birth & postpartum doula in the USA in 2020, to be with my best friend for the birth of her first child in the midst of Covid protocols. I never could have imagined how much I would fall in love with birthwork here in the United States and it is the greatest honor to walk alongside families as they grow and change (in whatever capacity!), providing unbiased & judgment-free support, advocacy, guidance, and care during such intimate and pivotal moments.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based doula support for expectant families seeking an empowered and holistic birth experience. I specialize in prenatal education, continuous labor support, and postpartum care, ensuring that birthing individuals and their families feel informed, nurtured, and confident throughout their journey. My hope is to create a calm, supportive, and judgment-free space where families can embrace birth with trust, strength, and peace. 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.

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. What I found along the way is that the fourth trimester is one of the most transformative seasons of a person's life, and it deserves real, unhurried support. I show up for every family with warmth, expertise, and a genuine commitment to making sure no mother feels alone during that time.

Hello there! I'm Isha, your dedicated elite certified newborn care specialist, postpartum doula, and birth doula with over a decade of experience helping families navigate the beautiful chaos of new parenthood.
