Diamond Goode

Hi, I am Diamond Goode. A newly trained birth/postpartum doula based in NJ/NY. As a proud mom of two, I know that having support means the world during these special yet most vulnerable times. Becoming a new mom or even just being a mom to a newborn all over again can be overwhelming. There is alway new knowledge to learn. That’s where I come in to be that support and help your mental/body needs. My heart is to walk alongside families with understanding, reassurance, and gentle care as they welcome their babies and adjust to new parenthood.

“I had such a wonderful experience with Diamond. Even though she’s new, you’d never know it. She made me feel comfortable, listened to my needs, and offered guidance every step of the way. She’s super down to earth and her calming presence made such a difference, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.”

Sarah was an excellent addition to our birth team! I could not have had a vaginal birth without her. She was compassionate, knowledgeable and so attentive. She made me feel supported and listened to. I truly cannot recommend Sarah enough

After struggling with severe pain during breastfeeding and hearing that discomfort was normal and to keep pushing through, I was beyond grateful when Stephanie came to my rescue. First off, Stephanie knows her stuff! She is so knowledge and passionate about sharing all she can to help with lactation. Stephanie was able to tweak my techniques, give me pointers, and boom, no more pain! With no judgement, and a kind attitude, Stephanie made it easy for me to relax and trust the process. Breastfeeding is NOT suppose to hurt! Who knew! If you're having any sort of issues with feeding or lactation, call Stephanie! Your welcome!

I am passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, labor & birth as a birth doula. I provide prenatal childbirth education to all clients, making sure that everyone approaches childbirth with the basic understanding of what's going on internally, and how to work WITH your body's natural hormones, not against them, to get the best birthing experience possible. I support birth wherever it happens (home, hospital, or birthing center) and am especially passionate about supporting VBACs and home births.

With over 20 years of experience supporting families across six countries, I bring a deep understanding of the diverse ways cultures nurture parent-child relationships. My journey into birth work began as a Health Community Worker, advocating for immigrant Latino families in New York. Later, while working at a mental health agency in Connecticut, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that nurturing, consistent, and responsive caregiving has on a child’s development. This realization fueled my passion for family support and led me to become a Birth and Postpartum Doula, ensuring families receive guidance and care from the very start of their parenting journey. Three years ago, I earned my certification in Perinatal Mental Health, allowing me to further support families through the emotional complexities of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I am dedicated to creating a compassionate and culturally informed space for every family I serve.

Martha brought a level of joy, reassurance and experience to our daughters birth we didn’t even know we needed. Every step of the way through my pregnancy she checked in on me and provided the guidance I needed. Our birth changed pretty rapidly but Martha’s positivity and expertise made the entire experience more enjoyable. We were able to really focus on the birth while she helped guide those around us on decisions we made beforehand. Pregnancy doesn’t just stop after birth, the emotional and physical work continues after you’re home as well. Martha is there by your side through it all! She helped change my postpartum experience immensely, I cannot thank her enough. I will forever recommend The Knitting Doula!

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.

Hi I’m Keely and I’m a birth doula serving South Jersey & the Greater Philly area. I only take one client per month to really make sure you have someone you can lean on for anything. I believe every woman should have a doula and that support on this level can change a potentially nerve wracking experience into something empowering and beautiful.
