Julie was born and raised on Long Island and has always loved children which lead her to becoming a performer at Disney World while she was in high school. She later became a stunt woman in film and television until she met her wife and settled back on the Island to start their family. After having their son she realized that life had a new plan in store. She was so inspired by her doula that she trained with the Long Island Doula Association while pregnant with her daughter. She believes that having a birth doula can look different for each family to support their unique journey and so excited to be a birth doula, and can’t wait to be by your side.

Hi my name is Ashley Whether you are a first time mom or a seasoned pro you want to be supported. My approach to working as a doula is to encourage you to be vocal about your needs while creating a safe environment. Birth is exciting but at times can be filled with a lot of uncertainty. As your doula we will work together to create your ideal birth plan but I also prepare you for alternative situations that might occur. We all have an idea of what we want our birth to look like whether it's in a hospital, a water birth, or just simply being surrounded by those we cherish the most. I want you to reach your goal. Our weeks together will be spent on creating that plan for you and I encourage those closest to you to be your support system as well. The goal is for a healthy mom and baby. At the end of your birthing journey I hope to leave you and your love ones feeling stronger and confident as you embark on this new journey of motherhood.

Hello everyone! My name is Soleil Townes, I am the owner of Evangeline Birthing Services, which provides full-spectrum doula services to those in select counties in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I have a passion for helping queer families of color have beautiful birth experiences and receive the support they need whether that is grief support or adoption support. I fell in love with birth work during my years at Montclair State University where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Family Sciences and Human Development. While there, I took a class called “Medical Humanities” where I learned the different health disparities different ethnicities have faced in our health care system. What stood out to me was how Black birthing persons have such high birthing mortality rates. And upon further research, I stumbled upon the beauty and importance of birth work. I have always had a passion for helping queer families of color, and this shines through my work. I have over 5 years of childcare experience before becoming a doula. When I'm not working, I spend my free time expanding my hobbies: video games, reading, attending comic and anime conventions, community service, watching cartoons, and creating handmade jewelry.

Each one of my journeys has provided me the ability to educate and advocate for my patients and clients. My love for advocating, support, education and the birthing world led me to obtain my birth and postpartum doula certifications. I believe in customizing plans that meet each family's goals and needs! I'm excited to be considered a part of your journey! Now Accepting new clients with limited October 2025 Availability.

I am a mama of 3, deeply devoted to the sacred work of supporting women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Birth is my passion, my calling, my ministry—it is a profound honor to walk alongside women during this very transformational time. I believe that our bodies are designed for birth and that women should hold ultimate authority over their birth experience. My mission is to help women recognize their innate power, trust their instincts, and choose aligned support that empowers them to have a positive experience. As a woman who has experienced birth trauma within the system, I hold space for other women to process and heal from their own stories. I guide women in peeling back the layers of trauma and fear, helping them find their voice, reclaim their power, and birth on their terms. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or seeking healing after birth trauma, I am here to serve you. Birth is sacred, and every woman deserves to feel supported, seen, and powerful on her journey.
