I was lead to birthwork through my unwavering belief that we have ourselves and each other in order to create a better world. Each of us contains a unique set of skills and knowledge that allows us to rely on each other, to keep each other safe, and to come home to. Being a doula is serving my part in this world I hope we can continue to build together. I believe pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are incredibly special times in a person’s life, and what an honor it is to be accepted into one’s unique experience of having a baby. A mother and parent’s responsibility is to care for and to teach their baby, but often those very needs are not provided for them when they need it most. My goal as your doula is to center the autonomy, intution, and voice of the mother and to work in tandem with her needs. My doula philosophy is if I can center mom and her wellbeing, she will be able to best support her baby. Gracias por la luz, or “thank you for the light”, is borne from the strong and grounded, yet gentle nature of my maternal grandmother, Luz. The name comes from the light we all have within to do good onto others and emphasizes how my practice is grounded in gratitude for all families I am lucky enough to work and share space with.

My name is Nastaran (or Nast for short). I was born in the Dominican Republic, grew up in Boston, and now reside in New Jersey. Hubby and I are gym owners. Our gym is unique because not only do we do individualized programming to help clients get out of pain and achieve their goals, but we also collaborate with many local practitioners. I'm also a trainer, doula and birth educator. I founded Birthing Strong because I was tired of the trauma, grieving, and regret my family, friends and clients were experiencing at the births of their children. Birthing Strong was born to help educate, encourage and empower mamas through birth education courses and fitness classes that involve actual rehabilitation, cardio, and strength and conditioning. It aims to take the BS out of birthing and help moms move safely and confidently in fitness and in life. When I'm not coaching in a gym or teaching a workshop at a studio, I'm outside coaching adults and youth alike on running/track and field! I enjoy a day at the beach and absolutely love food (and think it should be a love language) and our family has rescued a lot of cats and one dog...We just can't say no to helping animals! If you're in pain or discomfort or you're just not sure where to start or what to do, please reach out if I can be of service. If I don't have the answer, I'm happy to be able to point you in the direction of someone who does!

Hi! I’m Rajah Ferdinand — a newly trained birth and postpartum doula based in NYC. I’ve completed certified postpartum doula training through A.N.E.W. Village at Kingsborough Community College, and I’m deeply passionate about helping families feel supported, informed, and truly cared for throughout birth and the early days of parenting.

My approach is down to earth, genuine, and supportive. To me, modern therapy is about real people having real conversations; so while I use evidence-based clinical practices, I make therapy feel like coffee with a good friend who helps guide you towards solutions to your problems for the world we live in today. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy - I take an eclectic and person-centered approach to each mom I serve.

Hi my name is Curbeth Tappin founder of Embrace a New Love postpartum services. I am a postpartum doula with 13 years of experience, providing exceptional care to families during the perinatal period.
