Greetings! My name is Savasiah Gardner, and I am a full-spectrum doula located in New York City. Being present at a friend's birth gave me my first eye-opening experience into birthwork; my master's in public health, coupled with my training with Birthing Advocacy Doula Training, have equipped me with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to support those on their own birthing journey. In my free time, I enjoy taking walks with my daughter and dog, as well as practicing yoga. I have plans to become a perinatal and postpartum yoga instructor in the future :-)

A healer. A dreamer. A believer. A Risk taker. I see the world from many different perspectives which strengthens my intuition and drives me. Giving back to the world has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Whether I am giving the world entertainment or caring for individuals, whether they are four legged or two legged. I am most fulfilled when I am serving. Helping earthlings to heal their mind, body and spirit with support, education, meditation, and healing body products. As a doula, my genuine nature is to be a supporter and healer to those who need assistance strengthening their support system or those who do not have a support system.

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 that 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.

Hello! My name is Julie (they/she), and I am a full-spectrum doula keen on prioritizing care work that centers being an advocate, joy-seeker, and companion for families and individuals desiring community support during periods of great transition. As a full-spectrum doula, I offer my services of care for a range of experiences within the perinatal lifecycle: pregnancy, birth, postpartum, abortion, loss, and beyond. And above all - I aspire to connect pregnant and birthing people with themselves and their communities so that family networks can thrive during these liminal spaces and incredible rites of passage - however they may unfold. Whatever your personal story is, I hope to uplift and embrace it, non-judgmentally supporting families and providing a tailored alchemy of emotional, educational, logistical, and advocacy support in planning and preparing for the journey you are about to embark on. All families deserve to be held with care during these transitions, and I look forward to welcoming all the emotions that come up to help you find the most powerful, informed, safe, loving experience you can imagine.

Julie was an absolute lifesaver for our family. She helped us set our baby up for sleep success and gave us such great breastfeeding advice. Julie's emotional support for mom was just what we needed, and her incredible care and attention as our baby grew and her needs changed were so reassuring. It felt like Julie became a part of our family during that time, and her presence made everything so much easier. We couldn’t have asked for a better postpartum doula and are so grateful for everything she did for us. Highly recommended!

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.

Hey yall hey, your Brooklyn-based doula Ebony, here to guide you on your empowered birthing journey. ✊ My path to birthwork stemmed from a deep yearning for the feminine wisdom that was often missing in my own experience✨ That yearning ignited a passion in me to empower women to rediscover their inherent birthing power. I believe in women-managed birth, a philosophy rooted in the understanding that birth is a natural, physiological process, deeply connected to a woman's inner wisdom and strength. My approach honors the tradition of women-managed birth, drawing inspiration from the time before hospitals and doctors took center stage. I believe in trusting your body's incredible wisdom and supporting you in making informed choices throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Together, let's rewrite the narrative around birth. Let's tap into the wellspring of feminine knowledge within you and create a birthing experience that is positive, powerful, and unforgettable.

I am a certified postpartum doula, lactation counselor, mother, and designer. I was born in NYC and grew up between Brooklyn and Honolulu, where my parents met. Surrounded by natural beauty in Hawaii, I became really interested in plants and studied the ways they're used as natural medicine in indigenous cultures. I dove further into holistic wellness and lived in an ashram in India, where I obtained my yoga teaching certification. It became clear to me that one can be healed by connecting the mind and body with nature. I love to create nourishing meals that incorporate healing herbs to nurture the body into a balanced state of well-being. After I birthed my son, I really understood the challenges in postpartum and importance of supporting and honoring new parents in their special journey. I feel empowered to help postpartum families through one of the biggest transitions of their lives, to make them feel supported and provide resources in areas where they may feel uninformed. I currently reside in Ridgewood, NY and enjoy yoga, cooking, dancing, and tending my medicinal herb garden.

Lornnie was such a pleasure to spend time with and was so supportive. She cooked delicious and nutritious post-partum meals, cleaned the kitchen and boxed up leftovers for us for the rest of the week. Lornnie also helped us with some tips for newborn care. She is connected with the community and helped connect me to a group of new moms in the neighborhood.
