When I first reached out to Meka about being our doula, she instantly responded with enthusiasm, tons of information and a motherly feeling of genuine care and support. I had read a few books, but didn’t really know what to expect and wanted a doula that was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and great with communication. Meka exceeded all of my expectations, and I consider her an essential component of my successful birth experience. Meka is always in touch, whether it is sharing articles, resources, videos, answering my thousands of questions, getting to know my birth preferences and helping to calm my anxiety with suggestions and offering an ear to listen. She not only supported me, but my husband, as well, by making him feel more confident as a support partner, and more prepared for what the hospital might entail. We practiced breathing routines, experimented with the peanut ball, and learned so much about pregnancy, labor and delivery. Meka was nonjudgmental, extremely patient and understanding, calm and sensitive to my fears. Meka is flexible with her communication, whether it be virtual or in person, e-mail, texting, etc. She was the first person I called when I went into labor, and was immediately on the way at 4 am when my water broke, with her adorable doula shirt, of course! Meka was a warm and comforting presence throughout my labor. After coming home from the hospital, Meka constantly stayed in touch with my husband and I, and helped me during the postpartum visit, both physically and emotionally. It was so nice to see her afterwards and I know that we will stay in touch. I absolutely recommend Meka and know she will be an amazing advocate and support for your birth experience!

Aliya is amazing! She helped me write my birth plan, offered different things I didn’t even know I wanted and schooled both me and my partner on things we had no knowledge about. She made me feel more confident going into my induction. (Babygirl didn’t wanna come out) She was there for basically the whole thing. She supported me in ways I can’t thank her enough for. She made sure all my needs were met and the doctors were doing exactly what I asked. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her.

I’m a birth doula, certified hypno-doula, placenta encapsulator and mom. My first birth experience was a c section due to breech positioning, thankfully the second time around I’ve gained so much knowledge and experience that I went on to have a successful breech VBAC homebirth. I see pregnancy, birth, and the growth of a family as one of the most inspiring things about humanity. As a Doula, I feel honored to help women and their partners achieve their experience of a positive and healthy birth.

I believe that my nurturing spirit and peaceful demeanor, guided by faith and supported by evidence-based practices and resources, are invaluable during these sacred moments in life. Professionally, I have dedicated years supporting women on their fertility journeys as a care advocate. As a Doula, I believe my nurturing and calm spirit, combined with evidence-based resources for decision-making, are essential during such sacred moments in our lives. My vision is to build caring, trusting, and honest relationships with the families I serve, honoring their birth and postpartum preferences. Whether I serve you as a fertility, birth or postpartum doula, I know the impact we will make on each other will be a forever treasured.

I am eager to connect with you and explore how I can support you on this remarkable path. Together, let's embrace this journey with faith and joy!

I can't say enough great things about Jossy. We hired her as our postpartum doula for the first six weeks following the birth of my son. From the moment I first spoke with her, I was drawn to her easygoing attitude and comforting nature - I spoke with a number of doulas, and Jossy was the one I felt most at ease with. The conversation flowed naturally, and it was immediately clear how much she loves being a doula. Even though Jossy was only helping us with postpartum care, she was so sweet in sending regular check-ins leading up to my due date and giving tips and suggestions for issues I was dealing with. When I first met Jossy in person, I immediately felt completely comfortable around her and felt comfortable having her in our home and with our son. She quickly felt like a friend I could confide in and joke around with, which made all the difference in the first few weeks of postpartum. Jossy was so loving and sweet with our son, and it was so clear that she cared very deeply about his safety, wellbeing and happiness. After our overnights, she was always checking in to see how she was doing and offering ideas and suggestions of things to try with him. No matter how tired she was after back-to-back overnights, Jossy always arrived on time and with a smile. She was also so sweet with our high energy dog. Thank you Jossy for everything (and I wish we could have you to help us forever)!

Marilyn helped me Post partum after I had my third baby. I was really weak after the birth, having had my baby unexpectedly at home with just my husband. She came over with a quiet and warm personality, she was super caring and anticipated what I would need during the night. She got me hot packs and cold packs, positioned me, took wonderful care of my son and even got me a goodie mommy basket which just shows you how thoughtful she is. I enjoyed having her help and can assure other moms that your child and you are in great hands with Marilyn.
