Teresa (Terry Wong) Huang, MPH, MCHES, Doula For the past 16 years, I traveled the world as a public health advocate, but FAMILY led me to become a Doula! My sister found love later in life and was deemed high risk for having her first baby at 39 - after all my research, I learned that the best way to support her was to be her Doula. Long story short: Now I’m a full-time Doula/Birth Worker and I am never going back to an office job, ever again.

My best friend asked me to be "her doula" 19 years ago. I flew to LA and planned to be there for 10 days in hopes the baby would come in that window of time. I sang and whispered into her belly and Introduced myself to her baby. We had quite a time during the labor as her midwives guided her through the experience. She was incredible! She chose a home birth which ended at the hospital. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Witnessing the birth was transcendent and inspiring! When I flew back to NYC, I vowed that when our youngest daughter was in college, I would become a Doula. I grew up in Minnesota. I graduated with a BFA from the acting program at the University of North Carolina School of the Performing Arts. I have a background in dance, singing, yoga and martial arts. I was an American Council of Exercise certified personal trainer for 12 years. When I became pregnant, becoming a certified prenatal trainer was ideal. I especially loved working with all my pregnant clients. Having an online health and wellness business with Arbonne International has been another passion of mine. Over the years, I have coached a team on how to build their own online businesses and shared this opportunity in a public speaking setting for large groups. I teach my clients the benefits of aligning with a vegan brand they can trust and the value of choosing a B corporation, and living a more green lifestyle. I am a certified Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula with the International Doula Institute. I am also certified as a Perinatal Nutrition Educator, Birth Educator and Lactation Counselor. I hold a certification in Diversity Equity and Inclusion. I am also first aid, AED/CPR certified for pediatric and adults through the Red cross. Being present, and relying on my emotional intelligence, knowledge and discernment, helps me to navigate how to best listen and anticipate a person's needs. I embody joyful humor as my way to serve others. I bring warm energy, passion and authenticity to the people I spend time with. I'm a lifelong student who loves to learn, grow and collaborate. I believe these qualities, as a birth team member, contribute to the overall outcome and experience of all involved. I live in Harlem with my husband. We have two daughters. Hobbies: singing in choir, biking, and lifting weights. I also enjoy baking, reading and traveling. I love conversations over dinner with my husband and friends, and going to the theater and jazz clubs. Walking in nature each day is key to living in my joy, and of course, fitting as many plants and flowers into our home as humanly possible!

I support families in a way that helps them feel more confident, more rested, and more at ease in their new rhythm.

The birthing world has always been a passion of mine, and being a part of the support system for any birthing person through education, breathing exercises, comfort and relaxation techniques and aromatherapy is what I enjoy most.

I am a birth and postpartum doula, and breastfeeding consultant with a deep passion for supporting women and families through the transformative journey of birth and early parenthood. One of my greatest influences as a birth worker has been Ina May Gaskin, whose teachings have deeply shaped the way I view birth and the care I strive to provide. I am inspired by her trust in the wisdom of the female body, her reverence for the natural process of birth, and her belief in the incredible strength of women. I strive to embody these values in my own work, approaching each birth with patience, compassion, and deep respect for the person giving birth. I believe birth is so much more than a medical event. It is a deeply personal, powerful, and life-changing experience that deserves to be honored. My hope is to help every woman feel safe, heard, respected, and empowered as she moves through pregnancy, labor, and birth. I strive to create a calm, nurturing space where families can trust themselves, feel confident in their choices, and welcome their babies in a way that feels right for them. My care extends beyond the birth room. Through postpartum support and breastfeeding consulting, I offer guidance, reassurance, and practical care during the tender transition into parenthood. I believe the weeks and months after birth deserve just as much attention, nourishment, and support as pregnancy and labor. It is my hope that every family I work with feels cared for as they find their rhythm, build confidence, and grow into their new roles. For me, being a doula means holding space for the strength, vulnerability, and beauty of this season of life. It means offering a steady, compassionate presence, honoring each family's unique journey, and reminding women of the wisdom and capability they carry within themselves. It is an honor to walk alongside families during one of life's most meaningful transitions. My greatest hope is that the families I support feel nurtured, empowered, and deeply connected to their own experience of birth and early parenthood.

Hello! I’m Gabrielle. A little bit about me and what sets me apart: I am an Ayurvedic birth and postpartum doula, an Holistic Pregnancy and Birth Practitioner (HPBP), and I am in my final year of a Master of Science degree in Integrative Medicine and Ayurveda Health.

I have been helping to improve birth experiences in NYC and Westchester County for over a decade. This is my philosophy: You don’t become a different person when you become pregnant, begin labor, enter your birthing space, or bring your baby home for the first time. You’re still you, having an intense and transformative life experience. As your doula, I take the time to learn who you are and what will help you and your family to feel comfortable, informed, prepared, and ready to engage with your birth, both in advance and through the ever-changing moments of the birth process.

I offer comprehensive birth and postpartum support, including overnight care to prioritize rest for new parents. I also incorporate my knowledge of perinatal nutrition to facilitate a nourishing pregnancy and postpartum recovery. My philosophy around birth and nutrition stem from the same principle; that our bodies and intuition are stronger than we often realize. I embrace an intuitive eating approach which relies on tuning inward and building trust with the body. These same skills can be employed when preparing for birth. I believe that you are the expert of your own body, and I am here to be a trusted source of evidence-based information and emotional support as you navigate pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.

Hey! I’m Lacey and if I’m not gardening, crafting, or homeschooling my children, I’m obsessing with all things birth and postpartum. It all started when I was pregnant with my first, but I quickly became overwhelmed and scared with all the thoughts of how I was handling pregnancy, constantly hearing daunting labor stories, and also being baffled with the notion of breastfeeding and caring for my new yet changing body. I graciously had my family and friends for an amazing support system (which included some mouth watering meals by the way), but if I had an expert in the field I know I would have experienced less pain and anxiety. By the time I was pregnant with my second, I had a few goals in mind. They were to have a natural unmediated birth, to have a more positive breastfeeding journey, give myself grace, and become a doula to help YOU, but only IF I could successfully complete the prior three goals. Well, they all happened! And shortly after my second child had his first birthday, I became a certified birth doula and a couple years later I completed my postpartum training to become what we call a full spectrum doula. I’v attended countless births in all places and have supported women through homebirth, natural, medicated, cesarean, and Christian faith-based births. So if your a super crunchy granola type of girl or a silky satin lady there’s no judgment and I support it all. Now, sit back and rest assured that I am here for you 24/7. For the 2am questions through the 5am water breaking. For all the breastfeeding troubles and to reassure you that YES all the hair you are loosing during postpartum will grow back! I would be honored to be a part of this incredible time in your life. Education and Qualifications Bachelor in Biology and Minors in Psychology and Philosophy from LeMoyne College.
