Pregnancy and childbirth are among the most transformative experiences in a woman's life. While this journey is natural, it also comes with many physical and emotional challenges. As your doula, my role is to provide continuous emotional support, physical comfort, and evidence-based guidance to help you have the best possible birth experience according to your values and preferences. With years of training and experience attending births, I understand the birthing process intimately. My goal is to be your constant companion, equipping you with knowledge and techniques to navigate each stage of labor. From breathing exercises and massage to simply holding your hand, I'll be by your side every step of the way. More than just medical support, I aim to cultivate a nurturing environment where you feel empowered, respected, and in control throughout your labor and delivery. My services extend beyond the birth as well, offering postpartum assistance to ensure you start this new chapter feeling confident and supported. Birth is an incredible rite of passage. As your doula, I'm honored to be part of your unique journey, providing the guidance and compassion you deserve during this profound life event. Let's work together to create a positive, fulfilling birth experience tailored to your individual needs.

From our first consultation, it was clear that my doula at Seed-Doula was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about supporting families during such a pivotal time. She took the time to understand my birth plan and preferences, ensuring that I felt heard and respected.

Hi! My name is Luciana. I am a caring, patient, and dependable childcare professional with many years of experience caring for babies and children. I am CPR and First Aid certified and currently expanding my professional training in postpartum and newborn support. I truly enjoy helping families feel supported and comfortable during the transition of welcoming a new baby. I can assist with newborn care, feeding support, baby laundry and organization, light baby-related household tasks, and giving parents the opportunity to rest and recover. I am warm, respectful, attentive, and committed to providing a calm and nurturing environment for both baby and family.

Recent review

We were incredibly fortunate to have Luciana care for our son during his first year of life. From the very beginning, she was loving, attentive, and genuinely responsive to his individual needs. We always felt confident knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us wonderful peace of mind and allowed us to feel connected to his day even while we were apart. She also made a real effort to engage him in age-appropriate play and activities, supporting his social, emotional, and cognitive development in such a thoughtful and natural way. Most importantly, our son was always so happy to see her and clearly felt safe, comfortable, and loved in her care. She became such an important and trusted part of his early years, and we are incredibly grateful for the love, patience, and dedication she showed him.

From the start of my career as a Physician Assistant, I was drawn to pediatrics and the mother-baby dyad. My PA journey kicked off on the pediatric ward at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, NY, where I was completely captivated by caring for children and families. Then, life brought me to Central NJ, where I had the opportunity to work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, caring for some of the tiniest, most vulnerable patients. I became a board-certified lactation consultant and was thrilled to offer lactation consultations and make a real difference for new parents and babies. Bringing together my neonatal and pediatric medical experience with lactation and breastfeeding medicine has been incredibly rewarding! I’m proud to be board-certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners. But I didn’t stop there—I went on to get a Master's in Healthcare Administration from the University of Maryland, and I’ve continued to push myself to learn and grow in every way possible. I’ve trained in advanced bodywork techniques, including craniosacral therapy (CST) through the Upledger Institute and the Barnes Myofascial Release method. I’ve also attended the Oral Habilitation of the Breastfeeding Dyad course three times! Continuing education is a constant for me because I believe there’s always more to learn when it comes to helping families. I have 2 locations, in Edison and Brick, NJ and have focused on creating a collaborative practice which includes other specialists as well. Whether it’s kayaking, biking, or tending to our organic and medicinal garden, my family and I like finding new ways to stay active and connected with nature.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based doula support for expectant families seeking an empowered and holistic birth experience. I specialize in prenatal education, continuous labor support, and postpartum care, ensuring that birthing individuals and their families feel informed, nurtured, and confident throughout their journey. My hope is to create a calm, supportive, and judgment-free space where families can embrace birth with trust, strength, and peace. Whether you desire hands-on comfort techniques, advocacy in a hospital setting, or emotional reassurance in your home birth, Ivy Haven Birthwork is dedicated to honoring your unique path to parenthood.

Recent review

Working with Ivy Haven Birthwork was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. From the very beginning, I felt so seen, heard, and genuinely supported. This wasn’t just about information or checklists — it was about having someone walk beside me with calm, grounded presence every step of the way. Throughout my pregnancy, I always felt like I had a safe space to ask questions, process emotions, and explore my birth preferences without any judgment. Every visit left me feeling more prepared, more empowered, and more connected to my body and my baby. During labor and birth, Ivy Haven showed up with such quiet strength and intuition — anticipating what I needed before I even had to ask. Whether it was hands-on comfort, encouraging words, or just holding space, the support was everything I hoped for and more. I truly don’t know how I would have navigated it all without that presence. And postpartum… wow. Having someone check in on me — not just the baby — made all the difference. Ivy held space for my recovery, my questions, my tears, and my joy. From helping with practical tips to simply sitting and listening, I felt truly cared for in those tender first weeks. Now, with my baby girl nearly four months old, I still carry the strength and grounding I gained from my experience with Ivy. I’m endlessly grateful.
