Hello, everyone. I am a birth and postpartum doula in Somerset, NJ. I am passionate about providing physical and emotional support to future parents. My goal is to dwell on positive thoughts and affirmations to evoke an informational and positive pre and postpartum experience. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my three sons, playing catch with my havapoo and spending time with my husband.

Welcome to Yes Doula — A Pleasure-Centered Approach to Birth My name is Letisha McFarlane Hadley, and I am a Certified Orgasmic Birth Doula and the founder of YesDoula.Life, a New Jersey-based TeleHealth doula service dedicated to supporting mothers-to-be around the world. My journey into birth work began at age 21, when I supported my mother through her pregnancy and cesarean birth. Years later, I was honored to support my sister through the births of my nieces. These experiences—alongside my own three empowering and pleasurable births—ignited a deep calling to serve others through the transformative power of birth. Through the Orgasmic Birth Practitioner Program, my perspective shifted profoundly. I came to understand how deeply connected birth is to sensuality, love, and pleasure. Inspired by Debra Pascali-Bonaro’s film Orgasmic Birth: The Best Kept Secret, I embraced a new path: one that reframes birth not as a moment to fear, but as a sacred, embodied experience full of power and joy. At Yes Doula, I offer both virtual and limited in-person services for mothers-to-be seeking epidural-free births, VBACs, or simply a more connected, conscious approach to labor. I work closely with clients—and their partners—to create pleasure-centered birth plans that elevate confidence, reduce anxiety, and honor the wisdom of the body. As a wife of over 10 years and a mother myself, I believe that partners deserve to be just as informed, empowered, and involved as birthing women. Guided by the principles of Pleasure, Experience, Trust, Support, and Knowledge, I am here to help you envision and achieve the birth you truly desire. Now accepting a limited number of in-person clients. Book a free consultation today to learn how we can work together to prepare for your powerful, pleasure-centered birth.

I practice a non-judgmental and caring approach to supporting mother and baby, while providing parents with advice when asked, and fact-based information on postpartum care. I became a doula as I saw a need to support parents who go home with a new baby with no help or knowledge on how to navigate the first 3 months. I am passionate about Post Partum care and would love to hear from you. I am trained with Health Connect One as a full spectrum Doula, and will support your journey with calm, compassionate care every step of the way.

Becoming a mother has shaped not only who I am—but also how I support others. I’ve experienced birth in many forms: a hospital birth with medical interventions, a hospital birth without medication, and finally, a peaceful home birth. Each one was powerful, unique, and taught me something new about strength, surrender, and support. My journey sparked a passion for supporting women during this incredibly personal and transformative time. I became a doula because I believe every mother deserves to feel seen, supported, and truly heard. My work is rooted in empathy and a deep respect for each person’s unique experience. I offer care that meets you where you are—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether it’s helping you prepare, offering reassurance, or simply holding space, I’m here to support you in making this journey your own.
