I had the pleasure of working with Tizzony as our overnight newborn care specialist, and she was truly exceptional. From the very first night, she brought a sense of calm, confidence, and professionalism that made a world of difference during those exhausting early weeks. Tizzony was consistently punctual, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about newborn care. She handled every aspect of nighttime care with ease from soothing and feeding to tracking sleep patterns and offering helpful insights tailored to our baby’s needs. Her gentle approach and intuition were especially valuable, and she always prioritized the baby’s comfort and well-being. What stood out most was her warm, caring personality. She treated our baby with genuine affection and patience, and she made us feel supported and reassured. Her communication was clear and thoughtful; each morning she provided a detailed recap of the night so we always knew how things went. Thanks to her support, our household got the rest we needed, and our baby benefited from consistent, skilled care. I would highly recommend Tizzony to any family looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and compassionate overnight newborn care specialist. She was truly wonderful to work with.

My name is Hazel Alvarez. As an Independent BirthKeeper and Teacher, I hold space for women to find the fullness of their power, to learn to truly trust, connect and listen to their bodies and to give birth in a way that makes her feel seen, heard, safe and respected. I offer the Quantum Model of Care when it comes to pregnancy and birth. This means that I prioritize Nurturing of both the mom and her partner, Soul-Level Connections with mom, recognition of Self-directed women who know what they want, Trust & Transparency, and Birth as an Altered State of Consciousness. Always knowing and acknowledging that there is a divine power that is always guiding us through the miracle of life. I am knowledgeable and respectful of both the physiology and the mystical aspects of birth. You were born to navigate your birth and to be in tune with your divine vessel. I am humbled by the honor that I am being called to witness birth as it should be.

Hazel is AMAZING! This was my second birth. my last experience with doula was okay, so I was very hesitant to get a doula this time. But I'm so so glad that I did because it made a HUGE difference. First I really appreciate the prep visit at my house. we talked about my preference and a mindset prep which helped me through labor. She was always on top of texts, calls and emails for questions, and would check in front time to time in between. When my labor started, even with the previous experience, we were still a little nervous. So she came to our house right away and helped me through the labor. She also took care of the communication with my midwife, which took a big burden off me when I was in pain. I chose natural delivery with no meds, and her counter pressure techniques really helped me through the pain. She was there from the beginning till I was released (a few hours after birth) and got me into the car. We had a postpartum visit and she massaged my belly and used moxie sticks on me. It felt really good. I felt really cared for the whole time. Had my sister lived closer, I'd have booked Hazel for her birth!

My goal is to provide families with all the tools, and support needed when transitioning into this beautiful new chapter of their lives. I aim to help new parents feel confident and safe with all the decisions they decide to make through this process and after. The best part about what I do is creating long lasting relationships with my clients that feel like family. I cant wait to connect!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Marissa. From the very beginning, she was always there for me, answering all of my texts and calls whenever I had questions, concerns, or just needed reassurance. As a first time mom, having someone so knowledgeable, supportive, and caring by my side made such a difference. She helped me create a birth plan that reflected exactly what I wanted and made sure I felt informed and prepared. She guided me mentally as I prepared for a natural birth, while always allowing me to make my own decisions without any judgment. She supported my choices and empowered me to have the birth experience that felt right for me. When contractions started and I went into labor, she was nothing short of amazing. She remained calm, professional, and knew exactly how to help me through every moment. When I felt overwhelmed or like I couldn’t do it anymore, she reminded me of my strength and talked me through it. She held my hand when I needed comfort, helped position me in different ways to encourage labor to progress, and advocated for me whenever I needed her voice. She was also such a huge support for my husband. She helped him understand what was happening throughout labor and guided both of us through the process with confidence. During a time that can feel scary and unknown, especially as first time parents, she made us feel safe, supported, and prepared. I trusted her completely and felt so comfortable in her care and with her advice. She played such an important role in helping me have the birth experience I hoped for. I would highly recommend her to everyone I know, and I will absolutely be using her again when it’s time for baby number two!

I had the absolute best experience with Shellecia as my doula during my pregnancy with my daughter. From the very beginning, she made me feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. She came to my home and gave me so many tools to help me labor more comfortably, things I had never even heard of before. She took her time educating me, reassuring me, and easing every fear I had. One of the most helpful things she taught me and my partner were different positions and techniques we could use together to manage the intensity of contractions. They made such a difference when it was time to give birth. In the delivery room, Shellecia was truly my advocate. She asked important questions I didn’t even realize needed to be asked and was pretty much my voice entire process. Having her there felt like having a professional and a friend all in one. I’m so grateful for her guidance, knowledge, and calming presence. I highly recommend Shellecia to anyone looking for a doula she is truly amazing at what she does.

My goal is to create a supportive, uplifting experience where you feel heard, respected, and empowered every step of the way.

You shouldn’t have to go into birth or postpartum feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or alone. I’m a DONA-certified birth doula, and my role is to help you feel supported and steady as labor unfolds. I focus on helping you understand what’s happening in real time. Through pelvic dynamics, positioning, and movement, I guide you through labor in a way that supports progress while helping you stay grounded in the moment. We prepare ahead of time so you feel more familiar with how birth settings work and what to expect as decisions come up, instead of trying to figure it out on the spot. For clients continuing into postpartum, I offer hands-on support with recovery, feeding, and overnight care so the transition feels more manageable. Based in Rockland County, NY, I support clients across Northern NJ and the Hudson Valley. I’m also listed in the Carrot directory for reimbursement.

She listened to what I wanted, respected my choices, and offered gentle guidance when I needed it most. I felt truly seen and cared for. Having her by my side made a world of difference, and I’m so grateful she was part of my birth story. If you’re considering hiring a doula, stop searching—you’ve found the best. Thank you, Mandi, for being such a beautiful part of this journey!

Before I went to Jade's childbirth class at Montclair BABY, I had never heard of a doula. Her class was holistic of all the options during labor and delivery, and my husband and I felt like Jade could be the perfect support person to ease my anxiety during pregnancy and labor. We were absolutely right. Jade offered continuous comfort and information for me throughout my pregnancy. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and gave advice for things I hadn't even considered. Being someone who has always been terrified of childbirth, Jade eased my anxiety leaps and bounds. We prepared for it beforehand, but once I went into labor, Jade supported us over the phone and at my home before we went to the hospital. My birth went from something that I used to fear, to something I now look back on with fond memories (I think that's a wild transformation) and I truly credit a lot of that to Jade. She was an advocate for me at the hospital, she rarely left my side except when I needed alone time with my husband, and she encouraged me. She worked cooperatively with the rest of the birth team. Dare I say birth was actually a little fun? I whole heartedly recommend Jade as a doula and would love to have her at my future births. There really aren't enough words to describe how grateful I am for her.
