As a doula, my goal is to ensure that you are an active participant in decisions surrounding your labor rather than your labor happening to you. We will do this through education, support and advocacy. Looking forward to helping you achieve the birth of your dreams!

Working with Ashleigh was an amazing experience. She was knowledgeable on so many birth topics and took the time to review all of our options with my husband and I. She was warm and compassionate and guided me through a natural birth in a hospital environment. I would absolutely recommend her to my friends and family.

I had the absolute privilege of having Nicole Carr as my doula during the birth of my child on April 10, 2025, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care and support she provided. From the very beginning, Nicole was considerate, compassionate, and deeply respectful of my preferences. She took the time to truly understand what mattered to me—emotionally, physically, and medically. Her ability to share evidence-based information in a clear and supportive way helped me feel empowered throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Nicole was a calming and reassuring presence during labor. She anticipated my needs, advocated for my choices, and worked seamlessly alongside the medical team. I always felt heard and never felt alone, thanks to her steady guidance. Her blend of professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made a lasting impression on me and my family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Nicole Carr to anyone seeking doula support—you will be in incredibly capable and compassionate hands.

Christina was amazing, and her services were worth every penny! I ended up having a Caeseran so she was not able to join us in OR- but was able to meet up with us once I got back into my L&D room from PACU. She was a passionate advocate for me, overall staff at my hospital was amazing with the exception of one RN- but Christina went to bat for me! She was supportive while pregnant and never in a hurry or rushed during our weekly calls. If I were to have a second baby in the future (I am first time mom) I would totally use Christina’s services again!

The Best Support We Could Have Asked For! We had the immense blessing of working with Priya for both labor/delivery and postpartum care, and I can confidently say she was one of the greatest gifts of our entire journey into parenthood. As first-time parents, the transition can feel overwhelming, but her presence brought comfort, confidence, and so much peace into our home. From the very first moment, she was gentle, knowledgeable, and incredibly nurturing. Her care is rooted in deep Ayurvedic wisdom, and she combines it beautifully with modern newborn support. She went above and beyond in every way. ✨ Labor & Delivery Support Having her with me during labor and delivery made all the difference. She was calm, encouraging, and present through every contraction and every moment of uncertainty. Her guidance helped me stay mentally strong and physically supported. I truly don’t know how I would have done it without her. ✨ Newborn Care She cared for our baby with so much love — from Ayurvedic oil massages, creating gentle daily routines, helping with gas/colic relief, and supporting healthy sleep patterns. Every single thing was done so thoughtfully and respectfully. ✨ Postpartum Recovery For Me She didn’t just help with the baby — she took care of me as a mother: - Ayurvedic belly binding for core support - Warm oil massages - Herbal teas and foods that supported healing and milk production - Emotional and mental support on days I needed it most She made sure I rested, nourished my body, and felt seen and cared for — something every new mother deserves. ✨ Food & Meals Her freshly prepared Ayurvedic meals were amazing. Everything was warm, nourishing, and made to help my body recover and build strength. You can tell she puts her heart into every part of her work. ✨ Family Support She guided my husband, helped us understand newborn cues, and even shared tips that made our whole home more peaceful and soothing for the baby. Her knowledge is priceless. If you are considering Ayurvedic newborn care or postpartum support, don’t think twice. She is truly gifted at what she does. She combines expertise, intuition, and compassion in a way that is rare to find. We felt protected, encouraged, and cared for every single day. We absolutely love her and are so grateful for everything she brought into our lives. She will always be a special part of our birth and postpartum story. ❤️

My role as a doula is to support and advocate for you while ensuring you have the information and education needed to make informed, confident decisions that align with your values and birth goals.

Recent review

Danielle assisted me during the prenatal, birthing and postpartum periods for my second baby. It was my second planned home birth, but in a different city and I was nervous about finding a new birthing team. After meeting with Danielle and expressing my birthing desires I knew she was the perfect doula for me. She brings a lot of thought and consideration in everything she does. She’s extremely professional, astute, timely and reliable. During times of uncertainty, she reassured me of myself and made me laugh and when I needed it the most. She showed so much care to my family at a very venerable time and even made our oldest child feel comfortable as he ushered in his sibling. I cannot express how pleased I am with her services. If I had to give birth again, she’d be the first person I reached out to.

Hello My name is Ellen and I am a birth and postpartum doula. I offer non-medical support to new and seasonal families before, during, and after pregnancy. I believe that everyone has the right to make their own decisions empowered by knowledge, without judgment. I am passionate about helping families to thrive during the most beautiful and challenging phase of our lives: parenthood. ​ Some fun facts about me: I was born and raised in Brazil, currently living in Hopewell Junction/NY. My husband, Miguel, is Portuguese and we met during a ski trip in Vermont. We have a beautiful daughter who is 3 years old. The sweetest girl ever! I have a stepson who is (somehow) almost 13 years old. I love CrossFit and have been practicing it for 8 years. Except during 2020 - Wonder why?! And during my pregnancy. It was rough. I am a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother and constantly use their quotes for important moments in my life. I serve Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, and some Connecticut areas.

Ellen is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, kind, and communicative—I couldn't have asked for a better night nurse. Despite having a longer commute, she was always punctual, never a minute late. I had complete trust in her care for our newborn, and she exceeded all our expectations. I'd absolutely hire her over and over again.

Hello! Hello! Most couples are looking for a positive environment where you feel respected, safe, and ready to welcome your new baby. I understand that as your doula I help set the tone and bring energy into your space that will be part of your family's blueprint forever. I have a compassionate, client-centered approach. I bring warmth, love, and extensive knowledge to each family as well as their providers. I bring strong advocacy skills while reducing fear and fostering confidence. I also provide lactation consultations and all modalities of massage including prenatal and postpartum.

Recent review

Hiring Neisha was one of the best decisions I made as I prepared for childbirth, and I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone. While I was initially unsure about whether I wanted to hire a doula, after interviewing Neisha I was convinced that it would be helpful to bring her on to support me and my husband before, during, and after the delivery of our first child, and I was not disappointed. I ultimately had a very positive birth experience, and I credit Neisha for giving me the preparation, knowledge, and validation needed to make informed decisions and clearly communicate my preferences during labor and delivery. Early on, she provided us with ample online resources to begin our childbirth preparation. During our prenatal meetings we developed a birth plan, practiced comfort techniques, and discussed the essentials of breastfeeding and newborn care. Throughout my labor Neisha calmly fielded our increasingly anxious calls about whether to take Pitocin and when to begin the epidural. She was a reassuring presence in the delivery room, suggesting alternative positions and providing encouragement to me and my husband through two hours of pushing. Postpartum, Neisha helped with breastfeeding, and continued to check in for several weeks after the end of our official contract as I dealt with a difficult and unexpected complication. Neisha’s professionalism and expertise combined with her warmth and sense of humor made her an invaluable part of my birth team. I would absolutely hire her again. (PS - she is also an incredible massage therapist!)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Working with Dee the Labor Doula was truly a blessing! From the very first conversation, Dee made me feel comfortable, supported, and understood. She was there every step of the way checking in during my pregnancy, answering my late night questions, and making sure I felt prepared for birth. During labor, Dee was calm, reassuring, and such a strong advocate for me. She helped with breathing, comfort measures, and reminded me of my strength when I started to doubt myself. My partner also felt included and supported, which made the experience even more special for us as a family. Postpartum, Dee continued to check in and provide resources that made the transition into motherhood so much smoother. I can’t thank her enough for her compassion, knowledge, and care.

Hello everyone! My name is Soleil Townes, I am the owner of Evangeline Birthing Services, which provides full-spectrum doula services to those in select counties in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I have a passion for helping queer families of color have beautiful birth experiences and receive the support they need whether that is grief support or adoption support. I fell in love with birth work during my years at Montclair State University where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Family Sciences and Human Development. While there, I took a class called “Medical Humanities” where I learned the different health disparities different ethnicities have faced in our health care system. What stood out to me was how Black birthing persons have such high birthing mortality rates. And upon further research, I stumbled upon the beauty and importance of birth work. I have always had a passion for helping queer families of color, and this shines through my work. I have over 5 years of childcare experience before becoming a doula. When I'm not working, I spend my free time expanding my hobbies: video games, reading, attending comic and anime conventions, community service, watching cartoons, and creating handmade jewelry.
