My work is rooted in compassion, professionalism, and a genuine passion for helping parents feel confident and cared for during the newborn stage. I’ve supported families of all types—first-time parents, multiples, and experienced parents adjusting to life with a new baby—providing guidance on sleep, feeding, recovery, and emotional support. My goal is to create a calm, nurturing environment where both baby and parents can thrive.

I had the pleasure of working with Tizzony as our overnight newborn care specialist, and she was truly exceptional. From the very first night, she brought a sense of calm, confidence, and professionalism that made a world of difference during those exhausting early weeks. Tizzony was consistently punctual, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about newborn care. She handled every aspect of nighttime care with ease from soothing and feeding to tracking sleep patterns and offering helpful insights tailored to our baby’s needs. Her gentle approach and intuition were especially valuable, and she always prioritized the baby’s comfort and well-being. What stood out most was her warm, caring personality. She treated our baby with genuine affection and patience, and she made us feel supported and reassured. Her communication was clear and thoughtful; each morning she provided a detailed recap of the night so we always knew how things went. Thanks to her support, our household got the rest we needed, and our baby benefited from consistent, skilled care. I would highly recommend Tizzony to any family looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and compassionate overnight newborn care specialist. She was truly wonderful to work with.

I highly recommend Paula! I hired her for 6 weeks after my C-section, and she was so attentive with my baby. She was also wonderful with my 5-year old son, who absolutely loves her. Since then, I’ve brought her back twice while traveling for work, and each time she’s given me complete peace of mind. I fully trust Paula with the wellbeing of my daughter—she makes sure all her milestones are being met and that she’s cared for in the best way possible.

I set out to become a birth doula over 25 years ago after becoming a massage therapist, but I put this career goal on hold until my children became adults. I finally achieved my goal and became certified as a birth doula this year. As a seasoned massage therapist, I offer a broad understanding of a person's physical and emotional needs, especially during this special time as you prepare your body for the birth of your baby.

Recent review

I had such an amazing birth experience with Elyse! My first labor and delivery were really tough, it was traumatic and ended in a C-section. It actually took me years to even think about having another baby because I was so afraid of going through that again. Multiple doctors told me I’d probably need another C-section, that because I pushed for so long the first time, a vaginal birth wasn’t likely. It left me feeling broken and like my body just couldn’t do it. When I finally decided I wanted to try for a VBAC, I knew I needed extra support and that’s when I found Elyse. She was the first doula I interviewed, and honestly, after that first conversation, I knew she was the one. She really listened to my story and my fears, and right away she helped me believe that my body wasn’t broken and that a vaginal birth was possible for me. Throughout my pregnancy, Elyse was amazing. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and always made me feel calm and supported. She answered all my questions, showed me exercises to prepare for labor, and constantly reminded me that I was capable and strong. When I went into labor, she was there for me right away. She helped set such a peaceful, calming vibe in the hospital room with music, lights, diffuser, etc. She massaged me, helped me get into different positions, advocated for me, and reminded me to take my time and make decisions that felt right for me. She supported me without judgment and kept me grounded the whole time. Because of Elyse, I had the redemptive birth experience I’d been dreaming of, a successful VBAC! She also made sure my husband felt included and confident throughout the whole process. Even after birth, she checked in on me and connected me with great postpartum resources. I seriously can’t thank her enough. She’s knowledgeable, calming, and truly cares about her clients. I wouldn’t have had my dream birth without her!

Christina was amazing, and her services were worth every penny! I ended up having a Caeseran so she was not able to join us in OR- but was able to meet up with us once I got back into my L&D room from PACU. She was a passionate advocate for me, overall staff at my hospital was amazing with the exception of one RN- but Christina went to bat for me! She was supportive while pregnant and never in a hurry or rushed during our weekly calls. If I were to have a second baby in the future (I am first time mom) I would totally use Christina’s services again!

The Best Support We Could Have Asked For! We had the immense blessing of working with Priya for both labor/delivery and postpartum care, and I can confidently say she was one of the greatest gifts of our entire journey into parenthood. As first-time parents, the transition can feel overwhelming, but her presence brought comfort, confidence, and so much peace into our home. From the very first moment, she was gentle, knowledgeable, and incredibly nurturing. Her care is rooted in deep Ayurvedic wisdom, and she combines it beautifully with modern newborn support. She went above and beyond in every way. ✨ Labor & Delivery Support Having her with me during labor and delivery made all the difference. She was calm, encouraging, and present through every contraction and every moment of uncertainty. Her guidance helped me stay mentally strong and physically supported. I truly don’t know how I would have done it without her. ✨ Newborn Care She cared for our baby with so much love — from Ayurvedic oil massages, creating gentle daily routines, helping with gas/colic relief, and supporting healthy sleep patterns. Every single thing was done so thoughtfully and respectfully. ✨ Postpartum Recovery For Me She didn’t just help with the baby — she took care of me as a mother: - Ayurvedic belly binding for core support - Warm oil massages - Herbal teas and foods that supported healing and milk production - Emotional and mental support on days I needed it most She made sure I rested, nourished my body, and felt seen and cared for — something every new mother deserves. ✨ Food & Meals Her freshly prepared Ayurvedic meals were amazing. Everything was warm, nourishing, and made to help my body recover and build strength. You can tell she puts her heart into every part of her work. ✨ Family Support She guided my husband, helped us understand newborn cues, and even shared tips that made our whole home more peaceful and soothing for the baby. Her knowledge is priceless. If you are considering Ayurvedic newborn care or postpartum support, don’t think twice. She is truly gifted at what she does. She combines expertise, intuition, and compassion in a way that is rare to find. We felt protected, encouraged, and cared for every single day. We absolutely love her and are so grateful for everything she brought into our lives. She will always be a special part of our birth and postpartum story. ❤️

Recent review

Working with Ivy Haven Birthwork was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. From the very beginning, I felt so seen, heard, and genuinely supported. This wasn’t just about information or checklists — it was about having someone walk beside me with calm, grounded presence every step of the way. Throughout my pregnancy, I always felt like I had a safe space to ask questions, process emotions, and explore my birth preferences without any judgment. Every visit left me feeling more prepared, more empowered, and more connected to my body and my baby. During labor and birth, Ivy Haven showed up with such quiet strength and intuition — anticipating what I needed before I even had to ask. Whether it was hands-on comfort, encouraging words, or just holding space, the support was everything I hoped for and more. I truly don’t know how I would have navigated it all without that presence. And postpartum… wow. Having someone check in on me — not just the baby — made all the difference. Ivy held space for my recovery, my questions, my tears, and my joy. From helping with practical tips to simply sitting and listening, I felt truly cared for in those tender first weeks. Now, with my baby girl nearly four months old, I still carry the strength and grounding I gained from my experience with Ivy. I’m endlessly grateful.

Jaymie is a proud mother of two. After having a VBAC with a doula she decided that a doula was instrumental in having her voice heard during the time of birth. She knew that empowering women during their pregnancy and allowing them to find their voice was something that she was passionate about. Helping families find the calm within using mindfulness, meditation and breath work is only some of the techniques used to manage labor. Going through and utilizing spinning babies and the rebozo are helpful tools in the birthing space. Whether clients want a natural unmediated birth, or the use of an epidural I am happy to help you get the birth you desire and support you through your decision making process. Always remember… your birth… your choice… your voice! It is an honor and a privilege to be part of your birth team. Jaymie would love to set up some to talk and see if you are a good fit:)

Services include a comprehensive Client Intake and interview meeting. Two prenatal visits (preferably one in your home), birth plan support and planning, materials and resources created for your keeping, continuous support from active labor through the hour+ after your birth, and one postpartum visit at your home. I’ve been a middle and high school teacher and administrator for 22+ years and bring a wide breadth of experience in educating you specifically how you need it, including tailored materials and resources. I believe staying in contact and feeling connected, especially during the third trimester is helpful and can be comforting. Being informed, knowledgeable, and empowered in your decisions can truly have amazing effects on your, and your partner’s, birthing experience. The more you know, the less you fear. This is your birth. I’m here to support you, how you best feel supported.

Working with Ashleigh was an amazing experience. She was knowledgeable on so many birth topics and took the time to review all of our options with my husband and I. She was warm and compassionate and guided me through a natural birth in a hospital environment. I would absolutely recommend her to my friends and family.

Hello My name is Ellen and I am a birth and postpartum doula. I offer non-medical support to new and seasonal families before, during, and after pregnancy. I believe that everyone has the right to make their own decisions empowered by knowledge, without judgment. I am passionate about helping families to thrive during the most beautiful and challenging phase of our lives: parenthood. ​ Some fun facts about me: I was born and raised in Brazil, currently living in Hopewell Junction/NY. My husband, Miguel, is Portuguese and we met during a ski trip in Vermont. We have a beautiful daughter who is 3 years old. The sweetest girl ever! I have a stepson who is (somehow) almost 13 years old. I love CrossFit and have been practicing it for 8 years. Except during 2020 - Wonder why?! And during my pregnancy. It was rough. I am a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother and constantly use their quotes for important moments in my life. I serve Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, and some Connecticut areas.

Ellen is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, kind, and communicative—I couldn't have asked for a better night nurse. Despite having a longer commute, she was always punctual, never a minute late. I had complete trust in her care for our newborn, and she exceeded all our expectations. I'd absolutely hire her over and over again.

As a certified Newborn Sleep Specialist and CPR-certified caregiver, I bring both expertise and peace of mind to the families I serve. I focus on helping infants establish healthy sleep foundations from the very beginning, which often reduces or eliminates the need for formal sleep training later on. In addition to overnight care, I also offer sleep consultations, providing families with a personalized plan and practical strategies to help improve their baby's sleep. Families trust me for my professionalism, calm presence, and ability to create a nurturing, structured environment during the most important months of a child's development. My goal is to provide parents with confidence, reassurance, and the rest they deserve while knowing their baby is in experienced and compassionate hands.

My husband and I have three kids. When we decided to look into a night nanny, our kids ranged in ages from 2.5,1.5 and a newborn. At this point in time, we were running on fumes, that is when my husband and I felt it necessary to get help, if we were to function in semi normal capacity during the daytime. Emmy came highly recommend by friends of ours that used her services a couple years prior. Our quality of sleep improved tremendously. Emmy came equipped with a wealth of knowledge and experience, which curbed any reservations we may have had. Emmy is loving, gentle, caring and warm, everything we hoped to find in a Sleep Specialist. Emmy was sure to discuss any ideas she thought would be helpful with our daughter's sleep, before implementing her methods. We were very lucky to have been introduce to, Emmy. I feel safe in saying, that if you do decide to choose her as your Newborn sleep specialist, it is a decision you won't regret.
