I am Rosemary Meran, a mother, doula, hypnotherapist, and founder of Soul Connections and Birthanesthesia, an evidence-based, medical-grade hypnosis method for a positive, medication-free birth. I support women in experiencing pregnancy, birth, and motherhood as sacred and empowering journeys. With training in Soul Integration, clinical and transpersonal hypnotherapy, and yoga, I bring a compassionate and holistic approach to my work. My goal is to help mothers connect deeply with their inner wisdom and authentic selves, fostering a birth experience that honors their unique strength and resilience. My journey as a doula was inspired by my own pregnancies and births, where I discovered the profound importance of feeling connected, informed, and supported. In my work, I create a safe and nurturing space for mothers to heal generational patterns, embrace their wholeness, and approach birth with intention. I believe that every birth, whether at home or in a hospital, deserves reverence and a deep connection to inner strength. This foundation of calm and confidence carries forward into the transformative journey of motherhood.

Hey there! My name is Marissa, I’m a DONA Certified Birth Doula and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator based in Morris County, NJ! Just just minutes away from Our Birthing Center, Morristown Medical Center, and Overlook Medical. I’m a mom of two amazing children, and after my experiences trying-to-conceive and giving birth to my first child, I felt an incredible pull to birth work. Helping people learn about all their options in birth and how to feel empowered in their decisions are some of my greatest passions! I work with parents throughout their journeys, from trying-to-conceive all the way to postpartum! I also work with many parents pregnant after loss - a different and nuanced experience in many ways (one I have experienced myself). I am so so thrilled to meet local parents building their families, and the babies you’ll be welcoming into your lives!

I am continually working toward gaining more knowledge and experience to better help my clients. After having my own daughter and learning so much from my experience, I decided to join the birth world so I can help and support others on their journeys to parenthood. I am able to support clients in whichever space they choose for their birth, whether it is a hospital, birth center or their own home. I am dedicated to my clients, supporting and doing whatever I can to make them feel comfortable and in control of their labor experience.

My name is Julia Melchoir and I have been a certified Newborn Care Specialist for the past 20 years. During this time my caring and nurturing skills have given me the knowledge and experience each newborn needs to develop. My specialties are being a night nurse that enables me, and gives me the opportunity to love, care, and understand each baby from their simplest cry, to each facial expression. In this way, I can identify when a baby is either colicky, or uncomfortable with a wet diaper. This act of love is what makes me perform to my highest and best whilst taking care of any baby.

At Celestial Prime Doula, we believe that birth is a sacred initiation—a deeply personal, soul-shifting experience that deserves reverence, presence, and care that goes beyond the physical. Sacred beginnings speaks to the profound truth that every birth is a gateway, not only for the baby entering the world, but for the parent stepping into a new version of themselves. We honor that transition with intention, holding space for the emotions, fears, dreams, and power that come with it. Celestial care means offering more than just support—it’s about creating an elevated experience that nurtures the body, uplifts the spirit, and affirms the soul. We blend grounded, evidence-based guidance with a calming, spiritual presence, helping our clients feel safe, seen, and sovereign in their choices. Whether it’s through gentle words, intuitive touch, or simply being a steady presence, our care is rooted in love, alignment, and respect for each family’s unique path. This is where modern support meets ancient wisdom—because you deserve to feel divinely supported as you bring life into the world

Becoming a mother has shaped not only who I am—but also how I support others. I’ve experienced birth in many forms: a hospital birth with medical interventions, a hospital birth without medication, and finally, a peaceful home birth. Each one was powerful, unique, and taught me something new about strength, surrender, and support. My journey sparked a passion for supporting women during this incredibly personal and transformative time. I became a doula because I believe every mother deserves to feel seen, supported, and truly heard. My work is rooted in empathy and a deep respect for each person’s unique experience. I offer care that meets you where you are—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether it’s helping you prepare, offering reassurance, or simply holding space, I’m here to support you in making this journey your own.

Janice Clarke (pronounced Ja-niece) she/her is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and the founder of JC Lactation Counseling, a private practice based in the Bronx, New York, dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally competent breastfeeding support. Her mission is to offer clarity and reassurance to parents navigating their lactation journeys, whether through prenatal education or postpartum consultations, both virtually and in person. Janice’s passion for lactation support stems from her own breastfeeding experience. After giving birth to her son in February 2019, she struggled with severe nipple pain and postpartum anxiety, feeling lost and unsupported by her healthcare team. It wasn’t until a WIC peer counselor identified her son’s poor latch that she found relief—an experience that highlighted the critical need for accessible, knowledgeable lactation professionals. This turning point inspired Janice to enter the field of lactation consulting. With a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science and a graduate background in public health, Janice pursued formal lactation training through the Center for Breastfeeding, becoming a Certified Lactation Counselor in September 2019. She gained clinical experience through mentorship with a private practice lactation consultant, hospital internship programs, and direct work with families. In 2020, she established JC Lactation Counseling in response to the racial disparities in lactation support, with the goal of increasing representation and ensuring that Black families receive the culturally competent care they deserve. Beyond her private practice, Janice is employed with Public Health Solutions NYC Breastfeeding Warmline, where she provides lactation assistance to families throughout New York City. She has also delivered the Unique Challenges of Black Breastfeeding presentation to organizations such as the New York Lactation Consultant Association, the Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition, the Tri-State Breastfeeding Association, and the International Childbirth Education Association. Additionally, she has led workshops at events hosted by the Office of the New York City Public Advocate. Janice is deeply committed to normalizing breastfeeding, promoting human milk as the cultural norm, and empowering marginalized communities with evidence-based information. She envisions a world where every parent has access to the support they need to reach their infant feeding goals without judgment or barriers. Outside of her professional work, Janice is an avid reader—favoring historical romantic fiction, romcoms, and fantasy—and enjoys audiobooks as a way to keep up with her love of storytelling. She has a deep appreciation for food, especially Asian noodle dishes, and dreams of a life where she can travel freely, meet new people, and experience diverse cultures. Her warmth, humor, and ability to connect with others make her a trusted advocate for breastfeeding families and a powerful voice in the lactation community.
