About Isha

Hello there! I'm Isha, your dedicated elite certified newborn care specialist, postpartum doula, and birth doula with over a decade of experience helping families navigate the beautiful chaos of new parenthood. What parents often call my "baby whisperer" abilities are simply the result of 10 years spent learning the subtle language of newborns and creating calm in what can feel like the eye of a hurricane. When I'm not supporting growing families, you can find me performing improv and comedy on stages across New York City, channeling my creative energy into laughter and storytelling. And yes, if you catch me making Star Trek references during our time together, that's just the Trekkie in me coming out—boldly going where many exhausted parents have gone before, but with a touch of humor and expertise to light the way.

Reviews for Isha Lambkin

1.0 1 review

I was very disappointed with my experience with Isha. We hired her as our postpartum doula, signed a contract, and paid in advance for her services. However, when the time came for support, she became completely unresponsive. We tried reaching her multiple times through text, email, and her booking link, with no reply. During the postpartum period—when support is most needed—she was absent, which added unnecessary stress. We’ve requested a refund for the unused hours (valued at $300), but have not received any response. This level of unprofessionalism was incredibly disheartening, especially at such a vulnerable time.

Isha's response

I’m sorry this family was disappointed. I provided postpartum support for approximately 90% of the contracted hours and submitted invoices so the family could receive reimbursement from their company for my services. The remaining six hours were not scheduled within our agreed service window, which had passed. This situation took place in spring 2024. My records show one later contact: a last-minute booking request through my booking link on Mother’s Day, which I declined because I had broken my foot and was unable to work for six months. I have no record of the repeated calls, texts, or emails described in this review, and no refund request was ever made. My medical records, call, text, and email logs support this account. Since founding my practice in 2015, this is the only negative review I’ve received. Families considering my care are welcome to read client testimonials at elitedoulacare.com or contact me directly at 212-810-2750.
