Hi! I'm Lorraine. I'm a doula and lactation counselor. I'm also the founder of Repose Postpartum, a postpartum care company that focuses exclusively on recovery, newborn care, and breastfeeding. I've worked with about 300 families throughout NJ and NYC over the past 8 years. I encourage you to think of yourself as the CEO of your home, and to bring in a doula as a postpartum consultant who will help you navigate their new normal and help you start their parenthood journey on the right foundation. That looks like: • Ensuring that your physical and mental health is prioritized, as it's the foundation for your family's unit • Translating newborn care into systems that actually support rest and recovery • Guiding you on how to better understand and respond to your baby's cues and behavior • Providing breastfeeding counseling so that you can feel more informed and supported on how they feed their baby • Educating you on the intricacies of newborn sleep, and helping to implement gentle and realistic sleep routines. I accept most benefit programs offered by employers. I'd love to learn more about how my team and I can support you during the early postpartum period.

Repose Postpartum was a true game changer for our family. From the very beginning, Lorraine was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. She helped us feel confident in caring for our baby while also prioritizing rest and recovery. I can't recommend Repose Postpartum highly enough to any family looking for meaningful and professional postpartum support.

Hi I’m Amber and I am a loving mother of 3 beautiful children. Owner of Like Me Doula Services, LLC. I am a NJ Family Care Medicaid Provider. I come from a diverse background and have had 3 very different birth experiences. After having my last baby in 2021 I became incredibly invested in women’s birthing experiences, before, during and after and through research saw that there was a need in my area for supportive women just like me. I decided to take the journey to become a Doula and will be continuing my education in all areas. I want to help change the way women think of their birthing experience and make Doula service and Breastfeeding services more obtainable for all women no matter your circumstances. Please reach out if you have questions about how I can help make your birthing experience better. ❤️

My Amber, my Amber (yes !! I literally yelled her name during delivery 😂)… where do I even begin? Amber was simply AMAZINGGGG. From answering late-night messages to showing up for impromptu emergency visits, she was always present. She made me feel instantly comfortable we clicked right away because Amber is truly a whole vibe.<br>What I loved most is how wholeheartedly involved she was. She advocated for me every step of the way and brought so much knowledge and passion into this journey. And listen… as a mom who has birthed FOUR babies, she still taught me things I never even knew. That says everything.<br>In such a short time, Amber became family. We’re going on three months postpartum and I can still text her, vent, and just be real no judgment, just love and support. She made this experience unforgettable, and honestly, I just wish I had found her sooner.<br>If you’re looking for a doula who will make you laugh, cry with you, turn the delivery room into a karaoke concert, hold you accountable (because she DOES NOT play 😌), while holding your hand and making you feel completely seen and validated she is the doula for you.<br>TENS, TENS, TENS ACROSS THE BOARD 👏🏽✨

I set out to become a birth doula over 25 years ago after becoming a massage therapist, but I put this career goal on hold until my children became adults. I finally achieved my goal and became certified as a birth doula this year. As a seasoned massage therapist, I offer a broad understanding of a person's physical and emotional needs, especially during this special time as you prepare your body for the birth of your baby.

Elyse was an incredible birth doula for us as first-time parents. She is extremely knowledgeable about the delivery process and our hospital’s protocols, which truly helped calm our nerves—especially knowing she is DONA certified. I didn’t have much time to research how to prepare for birth, so Elyse made sure we covered all the essential information during our first prenatal session, and her Google Drive was full of helpful resources as well. Although we didn’t get to have our second prenatal session because I went into labor two weeks early, Elyse seamlessly guided us in the delivery room. She suggested different stretches and positions to help the baby progress through the pelvis and did an excellent job supporting us while allowing the doctors and nurses to do their work. At the same time, she made sure I was informed of my rights as a patient, which I deeply appreciated. After the birth, Elyse provided a detailed timeline of events that allowed us to reflect on our birthing journey, and our postpartum visit was incredibly helpful for reviewing the experience and asking follow-up questions. We would absolutely work with Elyse again in the future—especially since our insurance fully covered her services!

Hey there! My name is Marissa, I’m a DONA Certified Birth Doula and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator based in Morris County, NJ! Just just minutes away from Our Birthing Center, Morristown Medical Center, and Overlook Medical. I’m a mom of two amazing children, and after my experiences trying-to-conceive and giving birth to my first child, I felt an incredible pull to birth work. Helping people learn about all their options in birth and how to feel empowered in their decisions are some of my greatest passions! I work with parents throughout their journeys, from trying-to-conceive all the way to postpartum! I also work with many parents pregnant after loss - a different and nuanced experience in many ways (one I have experienced myself). I am so so thrilled to meet local parents building their families, and the babies you’ll be welcoming into your lives!

As I sit here 2 months postpartum. The reality of being a first time mom is starting to set in. As I think back, the whole experience from being pregnant to giving birth is so crazy! Luckily, I found Marissa and had her support, fact checking knowledge, and companionship through it all. She helped me so much through my pregnancy, the highs and lows. She made me feel confident in myself and I would highly recommend considering having her as a doula. Her knowledge of everything about pregnancy and support was exceptional. Having her as part of my support team was exactly what I needed to make my birth experience the best possible. I'm so grateful we connected not just on my pregnancy but also as a new friendship. Marissa is awesome and if you are looking for someone to be a part of your birthing experience that is knowledgeable and also genuine, she's it!

Before I went to Jade's childbirth class at Montclair BABY, I had never heard of a doula. Her class was holistic of all the options during labor and delivery, and my husband and I felt like Jade could be the perfect support person to ease my anxiety during pregnancy and labor. We were absolutely right. Jade offered continuous comfort and information for me throughout my pregnancy. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and gave advice for things I hadn't even considered. Being someone who has always been terrified of childbirth, Jade eased my anxiety leaps and bounds. We prepared for it beforehand, but once I went into labor, Jade supported us over the phone and at my home before we went to the hospital. My birth went from something that I used to fear, to something I now look back on with fond memories (I think that's a wild transformation) and I truly credit a lot of that to Jade. She was an advocate for me at the hospital, she rarely left my side except when I needed alone time with my husband, and she encouraged me. She worked cooperatively with the rest of the birth team. Dare I say birth was actually a little fun? I whole heartedly recommend Jade as a doula and would love to have her at my future births. There really aren't enough words to describe how grateful I am for her.

This is your birth. I’m here to support you, how you best feel supported.

Having Michelle as part of our birth process was one of the absolute best decisions we made. We really wanted someone who had a deep knowledge and could help prepare us yet also be emotionally / psychologically supportive - and she was incredible. Her calm yet empowering energy, her levelheaded acumen, her kind consideration and openness - she made all the difference not only in the delivery room but before and after as well! Michelle prepared us thoroughly regarding what to expect, provided us lots of 'tools' (i.e. resources, information, exercises, etc) to have in our toolbox, and when things were happening during labor she was a grounding presence able to help ask the right questions, make sure I was approaching things the way I wanted to, and we felt incredibly supported the whole time. She made the room a little oasis which I truly believe contributed to me relaxing and ultimately having a smooth delivery. She is the best - anyone would be lucky to have her on their team. <3

"I cannot recommend Christina highly enough for any family navigating the postpartum period. From the moment she stepped into our home, she provided a level of knowledgeable, compassionate care that gave us the confidence we desperately needed. What truly sets Christina apart is her attention to detail and her 'all-hands-on-deck' approach: • Expert Baby & Mother Care: She didn't just care for our newborn; she cared for the mom as well. Whether it was providing guidance on breast milk pumping or gently encouraging mom to take a much-needed shower while she watched the baby, she made sure everyone’s needs were met. • Highly Organized: Christina kept a meticulous log of milk intake and diaper changes, which took the mental load off our shoulders and gave us great peace of mind. • Above and Beyond Support: She helped us physically set up our home by organizing our changing station and even acted as a second brain by reminding us of important questions to ask the doctor during check-ups. Christina is considerate, proactive, and deeply skilled. If you are looking for a doula who will treat your family like her own while providing expert clinical support, look no further!"

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from my birth and postpartum doula, Kei. From my third trimester all the way through labor and the first four weeks postpartum, Kei was a constant source of guidance, comfort, and strength. Kei provided me with an abundance of resources, including recipes, guides, exercises, and daily affirmations, which were invaluable during my pregnancy. She was instrumental in helping me stick to my birthing plan, yet was flexible and adaptive when changes were necessary during labor and delivery. One of the many thoughtful gestures Kei made was gifting me a birth exercise ball and warm compresses for breastfeeding. Her knowledge on breastfeeding and pumping was extensive; she not only educated me on the process but also made me a special lactation tea that significantly helped increase my milk production. Her hands-on approach in showing me how to breastfeed, along with tips for storage, was incredibly reassuring for a first-time mom like me. Kei's expertise didn't stop there. She helped our baby accept a pacifier, something we struggled with on our own, and showed us various tools and techniques to soothe our baby during those tough middle-of-the-night crying spells. Her 24/7 availability was a lifeline, especially when I experienced Braxton Hicks contractions and needed reassurance. During labor, Kei's support was unwavering. She stayed with me for over 24 hours in the hospital, ensuring I never lacked anything, whether it was physical comfort or emotional encouragement. Kei's presence gave me the confidence and strength I needed to navigate this new chapter of my life. I left this experience not just with a supportive doula but with a life-long friend. I wholeheartedly recommend Kei's doula services to anyone seeking comprehensive prenatal and postpartum support. Her dedication, compassion, and expertise are unmatched. Thank you, Kei, for being an indispensable part of my journey into motherhood.
