I aim to be the sister you didn't know you had, providing unconditional support to help your family thrive. The clients I've nurtured and cared for never leave me as they become part of my heart. I put their needs first and give them all I have to offer. Trust me to be your go to for postpartum and newborn care, where compassion meets experience.

Hi there! I’m Kei Gravesande-Wilson, your caring and supportive doula based in East Orange, New Jersey. Becoming a parent is one of life’s greatest adventures, but it can also be overwhelming. That’s where I come in! As a birth and postpartum doula, I’m here to support you and your partner every step of the way – from the excitement of pregnancy to the blissful (and sometimes chaotic!) early days with your baby. I believe in creating a calm and supportive environment, whether you’re dreaming of a natural birth or planning a C-section. I’m passionate about helping new parents feel confident and empowered, and I’m always happy to share my knowledge about breastfeeding, and baby care, or just offer a listening ear. Let’s work together to make your journey into parenthood as smooth and joyful as possible.

If you wish to contact me and schedule an appointment, please visit my website https://thelaborlounge.org/contact/ Ines Serna is a mother, childbirth educator, and doula with a Master of Health Sciences in Public Health. She became interested in pregnancy and the birth process after having her first child in 2010. Shortly after, Ines started working for the childbirth education department at a prestigious Bergen County hospital, where she gained a great deal of knowledge about maternity services. After the birth of her second child in 2014, she decided to become a childbirth educator. Through her two birth experiences, she realized that the power of knowledge can have a positive impact on birth outcomes. While working as a childbirth educator at the hospital, Ines saw the necessity of giving additional support to her clients. She has trained with DONA International to obtain all the required skills to assist mothers during the birth process. Ines is dedicated to expanding her knowledge by attending maternal and child health conferences, seminars, and networking with health professionals in the community. Ines’s extensive hospital experience has allowed her to see and understand the need to continue advocating for patient-centered care. She believes a patient’s personal preferences, such as values, cultural traditions, family support, and lifestyles, must be taken into consideration. Ines is passionate about supporting expectant parents by making sure they understand that they have options before, during, and after birth. She firmly believes that EVERY woman deserves a good support network. A network that consists of health professionals, along with family, friends, and, of course, the support of a doula, is the greatest gift parents can experience in their lifetime.

I wholeheartedly believe that you should be able to make your experience your own and trust your body.

Welcome to Yes Doula — A Pleasure-Centered Approach to Birth My name is Letisha McFarlane Hadley, and I am a Certified Orgasmic Birth Doula and the founder of YesDoula.Life, a New Jersey-based TeleHealth doula service dedicated to supporting mothers-to-be around the world. My journey into birth work began at age 21, when I supported my mother through her pregnancy and cesarean birth. Years later, I was honored to support my sister through the births of my nieces. These experiences—alongside my own three empowering and pleasurable births—ignited a deep calling to serve others through the transformative power of birth. Through the Orgasmic Birth Practitioner Program, my perspective shifted profoundly. I came to understand how deeply connected birth is to sensuality, love, and pleasure. Inspired by Debra Pascali-Bonaro’s film Orgasmic Birth: The Best Kept Secret, I embraced a new path: one that reframes birth not as a moment to fear, but as a sacred, embodied experience full of power and joy. At Yes Doula, I offer both virtual and limited in-person services for mothers-to-be seeking epidural-free births, VBACs, or simply a more connected, conscious approach to labor. I work closely with clients—and their partners—to create pleasure-centered birth plans that elevate confidence, reduce anxiety, and honor the wisdom of the body. As a wife of over 10 years and a mother myself, I believe that partners deserve to be just as informed, empowered, and involved as birthing women. Guided by the principles of Pleasure, Experience, Trust, Support, and Knowledge, I am here to help you envision and achieve the birth you truly desire. Now accepting a limited number of in-person clients. Book a free consultation today to learn how we can work together to prepare for your powerful, pleasure-centered birth.

To honor where you are on your unique breastfeeding journey and to support, empower and guide you along your way, without judgement or pressure.

Hi! I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) an evidence-based therapy approach.

I am a parent of two children, and all too familiar with the challenges of stress management and dealing with daily chaos. I care about your well-being and provide you with empirically-supported tools that can help you learn how to tackle even the most difficult circumstances.

I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and a certified personal trainer with a master's degree in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology from Columbia University. A woman goes through a variety of changes during her lifecycle which nutrition and fitness will impact. I will help you meet your wellness goals before, during, and after pregnancy. As a mom, I am familiar with the ups and downs that many women experience. My job is to help you have the healthiest pregnancy and feel great after childbirth.

Becoming a mother has shaped not only who I am—but also how I support others. I’ve experienced birth in many forms: a hospital birth with medical interventions, a hospital birth without medication, and finally, a peaceful home birth. Each one was powerful, unique, and taught me something new about strength, surrender, and support. My journey sparked a passion for supporting women during this incredibly personal and transformative time. I became a doula because I believe every mother deserves to feel seen, supported, and truly heard. My work is rooted in empathy and a deep respect for each person’s unique experience. I offer care that meets you where you are—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether it’s helping you prepare, offering reassurance, or simply holding space, I’m here to support you in making this journey your own.

Dena is an acupuncturist, herbalist, massage therapist, and doula based in New York City, and has been working in holistic health since 2012. She has experience working with people through their whole conception and parenting journey - those trying to conceive, through their pregnancies, at their births, and through the postpartum period. Before this she worked in childcare for nine years in multiple settings across all ages. She has diverse experience including infants, autism, twins, and behavior challenges. In terms of birth, her priority is to let each person guide their own experience, while offering them the information they need to make informed decisions and to help them navigate some of the complexity of the medical system. It is important to her that clients are given the ability to lead their birth experience and that they feel empowered to hold fast to their plan or change it, based on what feels right to them in the moment. As a massage therapist hands on support is natural for her. She also has some experience with hypnobirthing and spinning babies, but does not force modalities if these don't match a clients vision. With postpartum her goal is to help parents navigate the complexity and intensity of the postpartum period. To help them get the rest they need, to help them navigate the complexities of breast and/or bottle feeding, to figure out what the baby's needs are, etc. She tries to follow the parents' philosophy while helping them find information/practitioners that might help support them further.
