Hello! My name is Kelsey Saracer and I am a CAPPA certified Postpartum Doula and CPSM certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant. I am passionate about helping other families find their parenting confidence through support, mentoring, advice, and lots of listening. As a postpartum doula I love to educate parents about the wonders of newborns and support both day and night. As a sleep consultant I help you understand your baby's sleep and make a personalized plan to help you maximize their sleep based on their age, personality, your parenting style, and your goals.

Kelsey was an amazing partner! Our son loved her. She's sweet and truly cares not only about your baby but also your wellbeing as a new parent. She gave us tips and ticks for getting our little dude to sleep (and keep him asleep), feeding, had great advice on baby gear and recommended some new mom resources for me. Kelsey is great and any parent (and baby!) would be lucky to work with her!

I am a pelvic health therapist in Stratford, CT. I help moms through pregnancy, birth prep, and everything after baby to support your health and your ability to do everything you want to do. I believe in a full body approach to pelvic health therapy to give you the best possible results. Truly understanding your goals allows me to create a customized plan just for you, because one size does not fit all! When I’m not treating clients, I am spending time with my husband and two pups Nala and Yoda - most likely out on the hiking trails.

Ayesha is a certified doula and childbirth educator. She provides childbirth education to all her clients upon hire. Each client has different needs; therefore, she is willing to adjust and tailor each contract individually based on what support is needed. The services provided include pregnancy support, labor and delivery support, and postpartum support. For pregnancy support, Ayesha is available 24/7 upon hire to answer any non-medical questions. Ex- what to expect at doctor appointments. She also has personal experience with 2 pregnancies. For labor and delivery support, Ayesha can provide education and coping strategies for pain management and relaxation. Ex- positive affirmations, positioning, massages. She is a strong advocate for her clients and can communicate her clients’ preferences to others if needed. This is due to her experience working with nurses in her previous corporate job as a healthcare recruiter. For postpartum support, Ayesha can provide emotional companionship. Her postpartum services are similar to a “mommy’s helper” where she can do laundry, groceries, and/or babysit if needed as requested by the client.

I can't say enough wonderful things about my friend Ayesha Rahman as a doula. From the moment I met her, it was clear she was passionate about supporting mothers through one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. Her calming presence, extensive knowledge, and genuine care make her an invaluable asset during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel empowered, informed, and supported every step of the way. When I was pregnant my second child, she would give me advice on my labor and delivery to make me feel more comfortable with the whole process. Our children were roughly the same age. She gave me a lot of support throughout pregnancy and made me feel calm about my birth plan decisions. I highly recommend Ayesha to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled doula.

You knew having a baby was going to be hard during a pandemic, but things still didn't go according to plan. You didn't have the birth experienced you had always hoped for, and are now trying to care for your baby without all of your support systems and enjoyable activities.

You want the very best for your baby and you'd do anything to make sure that you provide a happy and healthy environment for your family. We all hoped 2022 would be different, but you can still learn new ways to be the best mom possible, both now during these continually difficult times, and going forward once things find the "new normal". Let's work together to create the family life you've always wanted, raising happy, healthy children, despite these difficult times. I know how difficult it is to plan your life as a new mom, especially now! Check my website and schedule a free video consultation so we can get to to know each other.

Hello Mamas! I am Ashley and I am so glad that you have found my lactation profile. I am a caring and compassionate lactation consultant that was inspired to enter lactation consulting after my first failed attempt to breastfeed my oldest daughter. After diving into breastfeeding education, I successfully breastfed my youngest son for sixteen months with the help of an amazing lactation consultant (see, even lactation consultants need lactation consultants). In 2020, I completed a Doctorate of Public Health degree where my research focused on breastfeeding success. For the past six years, I have been working in higher education, while volunteering for a breastfeeding organization. In September of 2020, I sat for and passed the IBCLC exam. I am also a certified lactation educator and provide prenatal educational classes. I am originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania and currently reside in Brooklyn, New York with my husband and two children. Being in NYC, I do have some favorite places including the MET and the American Museum of Natural History (because it’s my daughter's favorite).

As a Catholic doula and wellness coach, I help Catholic moms achieve holiness through a body, mind, and soul approach to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I offer prayerful pregnancy planning and coaching through a uniquely faith-based lens, physically support and pray with mamas during labor as a birth doula, and continue to walk with them through postpartum doula services and ongoing wellness coaching rooted in God's design for your body. My Philosophy: - Pregnancy, labor, and postpartum are an experience of God and a call to holiness. - A mother's voice should ALWAYS be respected in her pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. - No mother should have to do all of this alone - physical and prayerful support changes everything. - Fitness and wellness for mothers is less about achieving standards and more about maintaining balance so we can better serve our families.

We had Nicole help us adjust to life with the baby as soon as we came home with our newborn from the hospital. She is very professional and helped us a lot in our early days with the baby - she was an amazing resource for us as new parents. While she helped us with baby laundry, bathing (she gave our baby the first bath, so we watched and learned) , cooking ( she is an amazing cook) , tidying up our house, baby care guidance, more importantly she gave us the confidence that we can do it ourselves! If it was nt for our babies grandparents living with us now, we would have definitely asked Nicole to come back for longer! She was amazing - Thanks Nicole!
