Hi, I’m Chris! I’m passionate about all things birth and love supporting families as a birth and postpartum doula and lactation counselor. I’m a mom of five grown children, a former sign language interpreter, and spent 20 years working in a local church. When I look back on my own experiences with pregnancy and birth, I realize just how much I didn’t know. That experience is what fuels my passion for helping moms feel informed, confident, and supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and those precious first months with their new baby. I believe that every birth experience is unique, and I come with no preconceived ideas about how yours should or shouldn’t unfold. My goal is to help you understand your options, feel empowered in your decisions, and support you in whatever way feels right for you. I’m so grateful to be doing something I truly love, and I look forward to walking alongside you during such a special time in your life!

Chris was my birth doula, and let me say I would not have had the confidence to do an unmedicated birth as a first time mom without her support, knowledge, and guidance. Chris is EXTREMELY passionate about what she does and it is evident upon any interaction with her. She provided me with many tools to use not only while in labor, but also for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum. She made herself available to answer any questions I had, even post birth. She is tremendously supportive to any and all decisions you as a mom-to-be. She will not try to persuade you into something else. She makes it very clear it is YOUR birth and she is there to fully support you! If you are considering using Chris as a doula…please don’t think twice!! She is an incredible person..the sweetest woman you will ever meet and extremely knowledgeable! Thank you Chris!!!!

When I found out I was pregnant, the thought of having a doula never crossed my mind. It seemed a little bougie for me, but when my doctor left the practice, I started to think about it. It was the best decision I made. At our first meeting, we went over my birth plan. Julie gave me things to work on at home, but she also came back another time to make sure I knew how to do those exercises. She was always checking in, and she always answered right away when I had questions throughout my pregnancy. When I (finally) went into labor, I was texting Julie in the middle of the night while I left my husband sleep. She came over later in the morning and I labored at home as long as I could. Julie had me doing all kinds on different movements and exercises to naturally progress labor because my plan was to go without an epidural (spoiler:I did not make it ha). My labor at the hospital was longer than I anticipated, and Julie never left my side. When I caved and got the epidural, she continued to help me with body positioning to try to progress labor without drugs. She spent 2 nights in the hospital with us. I finally delivered a baby girl and it was a beautiful moment. But just when Julie probably thought she was home free to go home to her bed my placenta would not deliver. I was rushed to the OR and my husband was left with our baby, terrified and confused. Julie did not leave his side. When I returned to recovery but clearly still having issues, Julie called my parents for my husband and did not leave his side until she met my parents and they basically forced her to go home and get some rest. I was in the hospital for 10 days and Julie was in constant communication with my husband to check on me. When I came home, she was one of the first people I wanted to see. If you're on the fence about hiring Julie, stop thinking and just do it. Not only will Julie make you feel more prepared and relaxed going into labor, but you will come out feeling like she's family.

Hola!! I am a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula serving the Southern New Jersey area. I am a former Labor and Delivery Nurse and in current practice as an OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner. The core of my philosophy for the work that I do is Education, Empowerment and Advocacy. I believe that your journey deserves more than what is offered as the standard for prenatal and postpartum care. I am here to facilitate exactly that! I am bilingual in Spanish and offer individual services through my website. I look forward to connecting with you!

I cannot recommend Dorian enough! She provided my prenatal care during my first pregnancy, and from the very beginning, I felt supported, educated, and genuinely cared for. She took the time to answer questions, ease concerns, and ensure I felt confident throughout my pregnancy journey. What stands out most is her calming presence and compassionate heart. She has a way of making you feel heard and empowered while providing exceptional guidance and advocacy. Her knowledge and experience are invaluable, but it’s her kindness and dedication that truly make a difference. Even after my baby was born, she remained available and present during the postpartum period, offering support, reassurance, and encouragement when I needed it most. Knowing I had someone I trusted to turn to during both pregnancy and postpartum brought me so much peace of mind. She goes above and beyond for the families she serves, and I am incredibly grateful for the care, support, and genuine compassion she has shown me. Any family would be lucky to have Dorian as part of their birth and postpartum journey.

Hello. My name is Harmony and I am a Certified Lamaze Childbirth Educator, Certified Lacatation Counselor and Birth Doula. I am a former elementary teacher and the love of teaching continues in my evidence based childbirth classes. After having my 3rd child, my love of supporting birthing people blossomed. With continuous support, education and tools to help you advocate for yourself, you will have the birth you want. I service South Jersey, Parts of PA and Delaware. My office is located upstairs at Sicklerville Chiropractic.

Harmony's assistance was invaluable to us during my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and post partum. She helped me to understand a lot of the processes both that my body would go through and that the medical system would put me through, which was incredibly helpful in making more informed decisions and planning for what would be an unorthodox birth. Harmony helped me flesh out my birth plan more completely, which helped me to feel more in control when the time came to make medical decisions. Additionally, she was there through a significant portion of my LONG labor and assisted not only with that process, but also with providing support to my teenage daughter, who was present for labor and who experienced some anxiety because of it. She video called with me in the hospital during my recovery to help me navigate caring for my babies and preparing for breastfeeding despite their need for NICU treatment. Harmony went above and beyond to connect me with someone who could help me with the challenges of breastfeeding twins when I struggled post-partum. We truly cannot imagine what this process would've looked like without her and would (and already have!) recommended her highly to friends and family!
