Hey, I’m Kaleish, a public health practitioner, doctoral student (in public health) and a certified full-spectrum (birth and postpartum) doula. I currently hold certifications in providing NICU doula support as well as High Risk doula support. I am currently in training to be a certified community lactation educator. Think of me as your perinatal support person. I support women and birthing people of color who are feeling dismissed, unsure, or overwhelmed during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I started this work because I realized how many women of color are navigating pregnancy without the support, guidance, or advocacy they deserve. It deeply concerns me how often Black and Brown women have their concerns dismissed by medical providers—sometimes resulting in traumatic and avoidable birth experiences. ​ Now, I help women and birthing people of color move from feeling unheard and unsure to feeling informed, supported, and empowered to advocate for themselves and their birth preferences. If you’re a woman or birthing person of color feeling dismissed, unsure, or overwhelmed—you’re in the right place. This journey is yours. I’m simply here to hold space, answer your questions, and make sure you feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way. ​ Random Facts: I've supported births at Katz Women's Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, Hungtinton Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns and NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital. I am a lefty/ left handed. I don't have a sense of direction even with a map, however, I will find my way to support you. I was born in the Caribbean and spent most of my childhood and some of my teenage years living there. I love me some 80s and 90s black sitcoms. ​​ Book Your Free Consultation: Book Now via https://calendly.com/kaysgentlehands/30min?back=1&month=2026-07

Hi, I’m Paige! I’m a training full-spectrum doula providing compassionate, comprehensive support across birth, postpartum, and lactation. ​My journey into birth work is built on nearly a decade of experience as a full-time professional nanny. Spending 9+ years inside family homes during those raw, critical early months taught me that while welcoming a baby is magical, having grounded, reliable, and judgment-free support changes everything. ​During labor, I am deeply committed to helping you advocate for and achieve the birth experience you desire—whatever that looks like for you. Once your baby arrives, I bring that same steady presence into your home, taking the guesswork out of newborn routines, feeding, and postpartum recovery so you can focus on bonding and healing. ​Whether you need continuous labor advocacy, hands-on help navigating lactation, or an extra set of skilled hands to ease the fourth-trimester transition, I’m here to help your growing family thrive with confidence. Let’s connect!

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve known that I wanted to work with children and parents. I did everything from teach dance, child wrangle, summer camp counselor, and eventually a full-time nanny. I have worked as a nanny for the last 13 years. I am finally walking the road to becoming a birth and postpartum doula, and I am beyond thrilled to be working with you. My intentions are to bring light, love, safety, and knowledge to families in need of assistance during both birth and postpartum. I believe you should be able to speak freely of any concerns or questions you may have about your pregnancy and newborn. I believe that it is your right to rest and be able to enjoy the journey into parenting, whether it is your first child, or your third.

Hi, I’m Lin. I’m a mom of 3 from Brooklyn, NY. My journey into doula work began with the birth - and loss - of my second baby, Keelan Paxton, at 38 weeks. Losing Keelan profoundly changed the course of my life and inspired me to walk alongside other families navigating their loss journeys. As a bereavement doula, I help families process their loss by bearing witness to their intense love and grief. As a birth doula, I work with families who are pregnant again after loss, to support them in the uniquely complex experience of carrying life again while grieving the babies who came before.

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.

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.

I show up as both a guide and a teammate — someone who listens first, encourages often, and helps you tap into your own strength.

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!!
