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.

Hello, my name is Vernell Castle. I am a New Born Care Specialist/Postpartum Doula located in New Jersey. I enjoy acquiring new skills and learning to provide informed and informational support to families in a judgement free manner. In my free time i enjoy travel, rest and relaxation.

I am a certified Postpartum Doula and Certified Lactation Counselor. I have extensive experience working with families of multiples. My goal is to help new parents rest and enjoy the postpartum period.

As a birth and postpartum doula, I am honored to share my story with you. My commitment to supporting and empowering families during the transformative experience of childbirth is deeply rooted in my own origin story. I am originally from Laredo, Texas, a city on the Texas-Mexico border. Raised in Mexican-American upbringings, I grew up on the frontera, minutes from the border. I moved to New York City in 2009 to attend New York University’s Steinhardt’s School Counseling and Guidance program. After living in Manhattan and Queens, I moved to the suburbs, Peekskill, NY in 2020. My birth and postpartum doula journey began during 2022 when I recognized the need for comprehensive, inclusive and compassionate support for expectant parents. Drawing from my personal birth experience as a woman of color, a mother and extensive knowledge as a certified doula, I set out to create a space that celebrates the beauty and strength of childbirth. Thus, Mariposa Doula Care was born in 2022. Outside of my doula work, I am an avid advocate for immigration, holding space for the BIPOC community and dedicating time to community education. My devotion to fostering a positive birthing experience extends to empowering families with knowledge and resources, ensuring they embark on their parenting journey with confidence. When not immersed in the world of birth and postpartum care, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter and discovering new outdoor spots in Westchester County. I aim to provide doula care to all families, all backgrounds including but not limited to: BIPOC, single parents, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent families.
