Ines Serna is a mother, childbirth educator, and doula with a Master of Health Sciences in Public Health. She became interested in pregnancy and the birth process after having her first child in 2010. Shortly after Ines started working for the childbirth education department at a prestigious Bergen County hospital where she gained a great deal of knowledge about maternity services. After the birth of her second child, in 2014, she decided to become a childbirth educator. Through her two birth experiences, she realized the power of knowledge can have a positive impact on birth outcomes. While working as a childbirth educator at the hospital, Ines saw the necessity of giving additional support to her clients. She has trained with DONA International to obtain all the required skills to assist mothers during the birth process. Ines is dedicated to expanding her knowledge by attending maternal and child health conferences, seminars, and networking with health professionals in the community. Ines’s extensive hospital experience has allowed her to see and understand the need to continue advocating for patient-centered care. She believes a patient’s personal preferences such as values, cultural traditions, family support, and lifestyles must be taken into consideration. Ines is passionate about supporting expectant parents by making sure they understand that they have options before, during, and after birth. She firmly believes that EVERY woman deserves a good support network. A network that consists of health professionals, along with family, friends, and of course the support of a doula is the greatest gift parents can experience in their lifetime.

Hi, I’m Colleen Anderson! As a Full-Spectrum Doula, Newborn Care Provider and Lactation Consultant, my passion is helping parents feel confident, supported, and empowered throughout their journey into parenthood. I believe that every family deserves personalized care that meets them where they are, whether it's guiding you through labor, troubleshooting breastfeeding challenges, or offering practical advice for life with a newborn. My approach is all about partnership. I’m here to listen, cheer you on, and provide the tools and support you need to thrive. With years of experience in newborn care, postpartum support, and parent education, I bring a compassionate and holistic approach to every interaction. As the founder of Mom’s Choice Nanny Agency, I’ve dedicated my career to being a one-stop birth and lactation support, helping you build a foundation of love, confidence, and care. 💕

I am Full Spectrum Doula for three years striving to craft a practice in which I work with women during pregnancy to seek evidence-based information, and to feel capable, confident, and strong as consumers, as birthing women, and as life-givers. Regardless of their birth choices, these prenatal visits, as well as the additional communication during my clients’ pregnancies, have the potential to set women on a path of making their own decisions and trusting themselves throughout pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the postpartum period .As is so often the case with birth, things may go completely differently than envisioned. But with a strong foundation of trust in themselves, their bodies, and their supporting person going into labor, a doula can help support a woman to have a powerful birthing experience in which she is an active participant and the ultimate decision maker. How I show up for each woman in labor will be different, according to her personality, her needs, her desires, and the rest of her support team

My certification as a full-spectrum Doula has enabled me to accompany and assist families through all stages of the birthing process, offering emotional, physical, and informational support tailored to their unique needs and preferences. My specialty lies in postpartum Doula care, where I have obtained additional certification to better serve families during the critical weeks and months following childbirth. In this role, I focus on nurturing the new mother, facilitating bonding between the newborn and family members, and providing evidence-based guidance on everything from feeding and sleeping patterns to postnatal recovery.
