My name is Tiombe Bowman, and I’ve had the immense honor of supporting growing families as a birth and postpartum doula for over 15 years. I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula (CD/PCD, DONA) and Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) with a passion for nurturing, educating, and advocating for every family I serve. Over the years, I’ve supported over 200 births and walked alongside more than 200 families during their postpartum journeys. I’ve witnessed first-hand the transformative power of continuous, compassionate support—and how a doula’s presence can positively impact birth outcomes and emotional well-being. Whether you’re planning a hospital, home, or birth center birth, I’m here to support your vision—fully, joyfully, and without judgment.

The absolute best. I could not be more grateful that we found each other and she was able to make my fourth and last birthing experience better than I could have ever imagined. If you don’t think you need a doula, think again and hire this amazing woman!

Seeking help can feel intimidating and most think, “Do I really need to speak to a stranger about this problem?” Taking that first step though can help you to learn some strategies for a lifetime. Having been a social worker for over 25 years, my approach is an eclectic one. My practice includes working with people who have a history of perinatal issues, death/dying, DV, and substance use. I work with people from the ages of 4 through seniors.

Hi, I’m Suzanne. I’m an occupational therapist dedicated to supporting women in the motherhood journey. I work with women through individual sessions and support groups, focusing on the physical and mental shifts necessary for women during their transition to motherhood. In addition to my experience as a mother, I’ve personally struggled with infertility, a high-risk pregnancy, and a traumatic birth experience. Not all pregnancies and births live up to our expectations, and unfortunately women aren’t always comfortable expressing themselves when they don't. In addition to supporting your physical recovery, I hope to serve as a guide to help navigate the complicated emotions that often arise during this journey.

I care about your well-being and provide you with empirically-supported tools that can help you learn how to tackle even the most difficult circumstances.

Dena is an acupuncturist, herbalist, massage therapist, and doula based in New York City, and has been working in holistic health since 2012. She has experience working with people through their whole conception and parenting journey - those trying to conceive, through their pregnancies, at their births, and through the postpartum period. Before this she worked in childcare for nine years in multiple settings across all ages. She has diverse experience including infants, autism, twins, and behavior challenges. In terms of birth, her priority is to let each person guide their own experience, while offering them the information they need to make informed decisions and to help them navigate some of the complexity of the medical system. It is important to her that clients are given the ability to lead their birth experience and that they feel empowered to hold fast to their plan or change it, based on what feels right to them in the moment. As a massage therapist hands on support is natural for her. She also has some experience with hypnobirthing and spinning babies, but does not force modalities if these don't match a clients vision. With postpartum her goal is to help parents navigate the complexity and intensity of the postpartum period. To help them get the rest they need, to help them navigate the complexities of breast and/or bottle feeding, to figure out what the baby's needs are, etc. She tries to follow the parents' philosophy while helping them find information/practitioners that might help support them further.

Dena is reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated. She’s very attentive to her clients’ needs and she’ll always have your back. Dena remains humble while she explains her work which can be really helpful during such an intimate and sensitive time. You can tell that she really cares about her clients. I highly recommend her doula and acupuncture services.

Hi there! My name is Dr. Arantzazu Cioce and I like to go by Zazu. I’m a Pelvic and Orthopedic Physical Therapist, Birth Doula and educator and leader of the Integrated Woman Movement focusing on reconnecting to our intuitive spirit while using the best of science for a fully supported pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. I live in the Pascack Valley of Northern NJ and see clients in my office and virtually. I enjoy all things science and energetic in nature and love to be outside taking in the beauty of the natural world. Along these lines, I believe there is a balance to be found in birth using what we know can help our bodies during this transition and utilizing medical intervention when it’s necessary, and that balance is unique to every birthing person and family. My role is to connect you to your options, education and to the wisdom your body has in it already!

Recent review

I hired Zazu as my doula for my first childbirth experience. My reasons for wanting a doula in general were due to my fears around giving birth overall- the pain, being pressured at the hospital, not knowing my rights, etc. The reason I hired Zazu was because i immediately could sense her passion to coach and guide her clients through birth and sensed she would have mine and my baby's best interest in mind and that it would translate in our work together. She offered a ton of education and opportunity for questions regarding labor and delivery, and honestly helped me reframe childbirth from this scary experience to one where i could be empowered and feel as strong and as in control as possible, not helpless. i (and my husband) felt so much more prepared for what to expect thanks to her course and pre-natal sessions. But i cannot say enough about how intuitive Zazu is and her commitment to you when it's game time. Zazu never left my side my entire labor experience or was just a phone call away in the middle of the night with no hesitation to guide me. at the hospital, her ability to coach me and keep me focused was the reason i was able to achieve my goal of dilating a lot before needing to eventually call for an epidural when my back labor became too much. In-Between all decisions that needed to be made (like needing my water broken by the dr), she reminded me of what i "wanted" while also keeping me present and realistic of what was best in that moment. understanding my rights and possible consequences of decisions also helped me to make informed choices and advocate for myself, and have Zazu there to back me up and feel supported. I truly dont think i can say enough about my experience working with Zazu. Her doula service was worth the investment. I feel so grateful to her for all the ways she supported me and my husband through the prep and birth of our baby boy. If I could rewind, i'd hire Zazu all over again!!
