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.

Hi! I'm Kristina Victoratos Gardenier. After years of navigating my own fertility struggles, I felt a deep calling to shift my career from the corporate world—where I spent 12 years in AdTech—to a path that truly fulfills me. My experiences, both personal and professional, naturally led me to the health and wellness space, where I can combine my background in sales, my firsthand medical experiences, and my passion for caregiving into meaningful work. Caring for sick family members has profoundly shaped my approach to support and advocacy, making my transition into birth work feel seamless. As a certified fertility coach and a DONA certified birth doula, I am honored to guide families from preconception through birth, providing compassionate, evidence-based care every step of the way. I take a holistic, client-centered approach, ensuring you feel empowered, informed, and confident throughout your journey. Whether you’re trying to conceive or preparing for labor, I am here to support you with personalized coaching, education, and advocacy within the medical system. I am trained in a variety of comfort measures, including the use of birth balls, peanut balls, laboring positions, and natural techniques for induction, stress management, and pain relief. If you have a partner, I will also help ensure they are actively involved in your birth experience. Giving birth is a life-changing moment—one you will carry with you forever. My goal is to create a supportive, uplifting experience where you feel heard, respected, and empowered every step of the way.

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.

I am Full Spectrum Doula for three years striving to craft a practice in which I work with women during pregnancy to seek evidence-based information, and to feel capable, confident, and strong as consumers, as birthing women, and as life-givers. Regardless of their birth choices, these prenatal visits, as well as the additional communication during my clients’ pregnancies, have the potential to set women on a path of making their own decisions and trusting themselves throughout pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the postpartum period .As is so often the case with birth, things may go completely differently than envisioned. But with a strong foundation of trust in themselves, their bodies, and their supporting person going into labor, a doula can help support a woman to have a powerful birthing experience in which she is an active participant and the ultimate decision maker. How I show up for each woman in labor will be different, according to her personality, her needs, her desires, and the rest of her support team

Very knowledgeable of the information provided to my daughter via phone. Extremely considerate and understanding especially within the time constraint within the first interaction had with my daughter. My grandchild was delivered a week after the phone conversation.

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!

DONA certified Birth doula, licensed massage therapist, personal trainer, Placenta Specialist and group fitness instructor, specializing in pre and post natal health and recovery. Hollie has had a love and passion for birth work for most of her adult life. After delivering her first baby 10 years ago, with the assistance of incredible doulas, she knew one day she would also become a doula. Hollie has been a massage therapist and personal trainer for nearly 20 years, working with pregnant and postpartum mothers, while raising her 3 boys. Once her youngest came to an age that she felt confident in moving into the birth worker world, she jumped in! Hollie has a deep passion for the amazing and magical experience of birth. She believes that every one who chooses to conceive, deserves the full support during this incredible time in their life.

Recent review

I honestly cannot thank Hollie enough for everything that she did to make my first pregnancy and birthing experience EXACTLY what I wanted them to be. I knew I wanted to work with a doula even before trying to get pregnant, because the statistics on medical care during childbirth for Black women in the US are shameful, and I wanted someone to be present during my birth who saw me as a person, and not just a patient. I reached out to Hollie towards the end of my third trimester, assuming the most I would get is some advice on how to finish out my last few weeks of pregnancy because it was so late, but from the first phone call, Hollie was genuinely interested in me and the family that my husband and I wanted to build and how we wanted to build it. She immediately made me feel safe. Hollie provided me constant support and advice whenever I needed it, no matter the time of the day. I always felt comfortable to reach out to her and never felt like a burden. Hollie was there for the birth of my baby girl and she set such a peaceful and encouraging atmosphere for me in the delivery room. She interacted really well with the hospital staff and made me and my husband feel equipped and knowledgeable enough to advocate for ourselves during my labor. Hollie had a great balance during my pregnancy and delivery of checking in without being overbearing or causing me to worry. And one of her superpowers is that she did a great job of giving information objectively without telling us what to do or making us feel pressured to choose one option over another. She was so incredibly supportive of all of our decisions. In the end, Hollie definitely set expectations well, and then exceeded those expectations. I never thought I'd be so comfortable during childbirth, and that is all thanks to Hollie. I couldn't have asked for a more kind, compassionate, attentive and knowledgeable doula than Hollie. Even now that my daughter is here, Hollie still checks in and I am able to ask her anything. If I have the opportunity to have Hollie present at all future births, I will do so in a heartbeat. I recommend Hollie to every pregnant woman I know and I truly hope they listen. Hollie is the absolute best.

Hello, My name is Ashley and I am extremely excited to become your doula if I am so lucky to be chosen. I have extensive knowledge in the medical field and have a degree in Biology from Rutgers University. I believe that every mom should be in charge of her birth process. Although, every birth is unique and some may not go as plan it is important for me as your doula to assist you in any way that I can to make sure you feel empowered, in control, and heard throughout your birthing experience. Once we decide to work together I always like to know a little bit more about my moms and what their dos and donts consist of when in the birthing room. Communicating your needs prior to the birth allows everyone to better understand what you are looking for and how those goals can be met. I am extremely flexible with pricing because I believe quality care for you and your newborn is priceless.I hope to hear from you soon and remember your birth your way.

Viv worked with us as our birth and postpartum doula for our first baby. I truly don't know what I would have done without her guidance and support in those last few months of pregnancy through the fourth trimester. She was always available and willing to answer my questions, whether it was breastfeeding, sleep, or general newborn no matter how small. I highly recommend Viv and would absolutely work with her again.
