I usually say I accidentally fell into the field of birth work, but I guess that's not totally true. After spending a decade abroad running a foster home/cardiac surgery program for babies with complex congenital heart defects and maternal/fetal health programs for at-risk indigenous families, I unexpectedly found myself stuck in New York City in early 2020, waiting out this little bug called "Covid-19" that was shutting borders all around the world... I certified as a birth & postpartum doula in the USA in 2020, to be with my best friend for the birth of her first child in the midst of Covid protocols. I never could have imagined how much I would fall in love with birthwork here in the United States and it is the greatest honor to walk alongside families as they grow and change (in whatever capacity!), providing unbiased & judgment-free support, advocacy, guidance, and care during such intimate and pivotal moments.

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.

My name is Briana, and I am a Full Spectrum Doula and Birth Photographer serving clients in NYC, Nassau County, and Westchester. I am certified and insured in birth, postpartum care, and breastfeeding education. My passion for supporting women through every stage—from preconception to postpartum—comes from my own journey through infertility, loss, and birth trauma. After the birth of my first child, I discovered my inner strength and a powerful drive to advocate for others. That experience led me to become certified and dedicate myself to providing compassionate, informed support to women navigating their own unique health journeys. I am the proud mother of three, including twins, and have gained invaluable knowledge in reproductive health, pelvic pain, pregnancy, and postpartum care through a combination of research, course training, and most importantly, hands-on experience. I offer a complimentary initial session to get to know you, understand your needs and preferences, and answer any questions you or your partner may have prior to booking care. Feel free to reach out by text or email—I’m here to support you. Phone: 914.414.1115 Email: ondemanddoulas@gmail.com Socials @demanddoula

When my wife and I hired Brie as our doula, we expected guidance through birth — but what we got was so much more. After a traumatic delivery, we came home overwhelmed and exhausted. Brie immediately became our anchor — organizing, advocating, and surrounding us with the right support so we could focus on healing and bonding with our baby. Through her postpartum care agency, she personally screened and matched us with incredible doulas, handled every detail, and checked in constantly to make sure we were cared for. Her compassion, professionalism, and calm energy turned a chaotic time into one filled with stability and hope. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond — not just during birth but in the critical weeks that follow — Brie is the one you want by your side. We’re endlessly grateful for her impact on our family.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Elizabeth for my postpartum care, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was warm, knowledgeable, and truly invested in my recovery and well-being as a mom. Elizabeth was incredibly hands-on and efficient, always one step ahead of what I needed, whether it was helping with breastfeeding, soothing the baby, or making sure I had time to rest and heal. She supported not just me, but our whole family, creating a calm and comforting environment that made a huge difference during those early, overwhelming days. Elizabeth offered both practical support and emotional care in a way that felt natural. Most importantly, Elizabeth was reliable, respectful, and incredibly thoughtful. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and brings both heart and expertise to her work, she’s exactly who you want by your side during birth and even more after!

I highly recommend Paula! I hired her for 6 weeks after my C-section, and she was so attentive with my baby. She was also wonderful with my 5-year old son, who absolutely loves her. Since then, I’ve brought her back twice while traveling for work, and each time she’s given me complete peace of mind. I fully trust Paula with the wellbeing of my daughter—she makes sure all her milestones are being met and that she’s cared for in the best way possible.

Hi, I’m Jacqueline, but you can call me Jacqui. I’m a full-spectrum doula who believes birth is both sacred and deeply human — not something to “manage,” but something to be supported with care, humor, and grounding energy. My background as an esthetician, medical assistant, and ordained minister means I show up with a calming presence, steady hands, and the ability to connect with just about anyone. I see each family as unique, and I honor every birth plan, every emotion, and every cultural layer that shapes the journey into parenthood. I’m here to hold space, advocate when needed, and help parents feel informed, respected, and genuinely cared for. My philosophy is simple: YOU deserve a birth experience that feels safe, supported, and authentically yours. I show up as both a guide and a teammate — someone who listens first, encourages often, and helps you tap into your own strength. Whether it’s breathwork at 2 a.m., a good laugh when things get intense, or quiet reassurance in the moments that matter most, I’m committed to walking alongside your family with compassion and confidence. My goal is to help you feel prepared, empowered, and never alone during one of the most transformative moments of your life. My hobbies are reading, crafting, hosting karaoke nights at local bars, helping my partner run a part-time catering business and cuddling with our Beagle-mix Emo. I look forward to meeting you!!
