I am so excited to meet you! I am a graduate from Brooklyn College (go bulldogs) with a Health and Nutrition degree. I love cheesy fiction books (don't Judge). They just give me an escape from the chaos of this world. 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 spend most days reading through evidence based research on birth, postpartum and breastfeeding to be well equipped support person for my clients. My clients are my number one priority and they have my unconditional support. I see each pregnancy as a unique miracle.I help women embark on their birthing journey gently through tested and proven methods. I also patiently answer questions and address concerns you may have and provide advice best suited to your situation. Please get in touch to set up an initial consultation. I look forward to meeting you, and always remember you are stronger than you think.

Geeta supported our family as an overnight doula during the first few weeks of our daughter’s life, and having her in our home was such a relief and a pleasure. She not only made us feel more confident as parents, but took time to check in on my own recovery in addition to caring for our daughter. She was an absolute pleasure to work with!

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.

Hannah is an excellent doula. She provided us with help postpartum advising on our breastfeeding journey. She was able to quickly gather all the information to understand our specific situation and formulate a practical plan that was aligned with our comfort and goals. Her energy is exactly the kind you want around to help prepare for labor, assist during and to help with post-partum care. Warm, down to earth and motivated to help. You can tell she really loves doing this work. I felt immediately comfortable with her during our initial consultation and during her time working with us. Thanks Hannah!

Vennessa started with us 1 week postpartum for 3 months and it was so helpful to have her show us how to take care of a newborn, especially as first time parents. She is warm and loving and I trusted her with our daughter which gave us huge peace of mind. She also helped me get set up pumping and with breastfeeding. She is flexible and open to listening to specific goals- for instance, she helped transition our daughter out of the snoo into a bassinet. I highly recommend Vennessa for any newborn care needs!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my doula, Keema. From the very beginning, she made me feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. Her calm presence, encouragement, and deep knowledge gave me so much confidence throughout pregnancy, birth, and post partum. Keema listened to my concerns, respected my wishes, and helped me feel strong and capable every step of the way. During labor, her support was unwavering—she reassured me when I needed it most, and helped create an experience I will always cherish. Hiring Keema was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. Because of her, I felt seen, heard, and supported during one of the most vulnerable and powerful moments of my life. If you are considering a doula, I cannot recommend her highly enough—she is a gift to any birthing family. Thank you again, Keeeee!

I support families who want expert care without the stress of guessing. I bring calm leadership, clear routines, and real-world newborn knowledge so you can recover, bond, and rest. What I help with: - Overnight newborn care (feeding support, soothing, diapering, safety, parent rest) - Newborn sleep foundations (day/night confusion, routines, settling techniques) - Feeding support (breastfeeding support, paced bottle feeding, intake guidance) - Postpartum support planning (what to expect, recovery support, household flow) - Staffing support through THS (matching you with vetted NCS, Doulas and postpartum doulas) If you want nurturing support with structure, I’m a great fit.

No one really prepares you for postpartum as a dad. I thought we’d just figure it out, but those first weeks were harder than I expected. My wife was exhausted, and I didn’t always know how to help in the ways that actually mattered. Getting support through Briie and her team made a huge difference. Having someone experienced in our home brought calm and structure when we needed it most. It gave my wife space to recover and gave me the confidence to step up. I’m really glad we didn’t try to just tough it out.

I am a compassionate and experienced Newborn Care Specialist with over 20 years of experience caring for newborns and supporting families through the beautiful but sometimes overwhelming newborn stage. I am originally from Brazil and speak both English and Portuguese. Families describe me as loving, patient, trustworthy, and calm, and I truly treat every baby as if they were my own. My goal is always to help parents feel supported, rested, and confident while creating a safe and nurturing environment for their baby. I specialize in overnight newborn care, helping establish healthy sleep and feeding routines while giving parents the opportunity to recover and rest. I believe every baby is unique, and I work closely with each family to respect their parenting style and individual needs. Building strong relationships with families is very important to me, and many of the families I have worked with remain close to me long after my contracts end.

As soon as you meet Carla it will be incredibly obvious why you will only want her to be the one taking care of your newborn child. It is evident that her natural instincts and overall persona is exactly what every mom wishes for when they are going to select someone to help them with their newborn baby. Not only is Carla warm and patient, but she is knowledgeable and experienced, without being bossy. She almost floats around your home and brings you into a bubble of peace from the second she walks in. I have never had such peace of mind as when Carla helped us. Because of this I have referred Carla to every single friend when they share they are pregnant. Only a lucky few have reached out early enough to secure her. She is exceptional. If I could have nobody else help with my family ever it would be her. You will see when you meet her. Her passion is babies. She will know exactly what you and your family need from her and she senses it. Her talents are unmatched. She is truly exceptional. I would only have another baby if I could have Carla. I could never settle for anyone else. From the second she walks in the door Carla is somehow equally caring and professional and does not miss a beat.
