Hello, I´m Diamond Washington. I am a native of the Bronx, New York. Growing up in the city, the community had a major impact on my upbringing. I was always involved in my church, as well as hosting social gatherings for friends and the youth. What called me to birth work, you may ask? During my undergraduate studies, I had the pleasure of interning with a midwife and witnessing my first birth. This experience, along with the birth stories of close friends and family, compelled me to research how I can best advocate for birthing people. The mission of Haven of Jade Doula Services is to uplift birthing people of color as they enter a significant chapter in their lives. Through a holistic approach, Haven of Jade prioritizes advocacy by pursuing the best interests of clients while ensuring a safe and supported birth experience for their babies, with respect and integrity as core values.

At Celestial Prime Doula, we believe that birth is a sacred initiation—a deeply personal, soul-shifting experience that deserves reverence, presence, and care that goes beyond the physical. Sacred beginnings speaks to the profound truth that every birth is a gateway, not only for the baby entering the world, but for the parent stepping into a new version of themselves. We honor that transition with intention, holding space for the emotions, fears, dreams, and power that come with it. Celestial care means offering more than just support—it’s about creating an elevated experience that nurtures the body, uplifts the spirit, and affirms the soul. We blend grounded, evidence-based guidance with a calming, spiritual presence, helping our clients feel safe, seen, and sovereign in their choices. Whether it’s through gentle words, intuitive touch, or simply being a steady presence, our care is rooted in love, alignment, and respect for each family’s unique path. This is where modern support meets ancient wisdom—because you deserve to feel divinely supported as you bring life into the world

I support families through pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period with compassion, presence, and respect. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel heard, informed, and supported during one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. Clients can expect calm, consistent, and judgment-free care from me. I focus on emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and advocacy, while honoring each family’s values, preferences, and choices. I value open communication and partnership, and I ask the same in return so we can build trust and work together effectively. I chose birth work because supporting people during such an intimate and powerful life moment feels deeply meaningful to me. The greatest reward of this work is witnessing families grow in confidence, feel empowered in their decisions, and leave the experience feeling supported rather than overwhelmed. Outside of doula work, I’m a mom and sister who prioritizes self-care, spirituality, and holistic wellness. I enjoy working with herbs, nurturing my own healing practices, and staying grounded so I can show up fully and present for the families I serve.

My name is Fable Rodgers-Kurilenko and i've been a practicing Postpartum Doula(and occasional Birth Doula) for nearly two years after a long history with Nannying and being a Daycare teacher. I became a Doula because I longed to become more connected to families and mothers but within the Daycare setting due to conflicts of interest, was un able to do so. I had been interested in doula work since my early teens. My mother even bought me birth books in high school! That's when I left the daycare setting (returning to nannying for a time while I was in school) and got my doula certification. Later that year I began practicing first in births, then I found that my true love was postpartum. Now I am a mother myself as of last year and can truly understand the importance of postpartum care. My husband and I could not have survived the newborn stage without the help of family, friends (and a doula) and it is such a joy getting to support Mothers and Fathers through the most vulnerable time is their lives.

**Please note, all my reviews are available on DoulaMatch.Net and my website linked at the bottom of this page** :) As a birth + postpartum doula, childbirth educator, infant-feeding + lactation specialist, and IBCLC in training, Andreina has served the growing families of Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey since 2014. Her passion for birth work, expectant families, and newborns has been prevalent since she was a child- watching television series like TLC’s A Baby Story, which chronicled different birthing experiences throughout the United States. It was this initial peek into the sphere of birth in America that made Andreina aware of the disconnection that society had to an event so preternatural and fundamentally inherent such as birth. In her pursuit of restoring the sense of confidence and capacity in all birthing people, Andreina trained under renowned DONA International Doula trainer Rina Rios, and was subsequently selected to join the year-long Manhattan Birth training and mentorship program, led by doula turned home birth midwife, Tanya Wills CNM. Learning under these knowledgeable and influential women, Andreina gained invaluable knowledge that complemented her natural passion and innate skills in supporting expecting and newly postpartum individuals. Such skills and passion were further honed during Andreina’s own 72 hour home birth experience where she and her husband welcomed their son in 2022. With a bachelor of science from Iona University and five years of experience as a skilled pediatric phlebotomist, Andreina’s approach to childbirth, lactation, and postpartum melds the best of western medicine with the best of tried and true holistic care for all of her clients.

Hi, I’m Paige! I’m a training full-spectrum doula providing compassionate, comprehensive support across birth, postpartum, and lactation. ​My journey into birth work is built on nearly a decade of experience as a full-time professional nanny.

Once your baby arrives, I bring that same steady presence into your home, taking the guesswork out of newborn routines, feeding, and postpartum recovery so you can focus on bonding and healing. ​Whether you need continuous labor advocacy, hands-on help navigating lactation, or an extra set of skilled hands to ease the fourth-trimester transition, I’m here to help your growing family thrive with confidence. Let’s connect!
