A wonderful experience. Vennessa taught us so much as first time parents. We will cherish her help and work for life! She also helped me with a crazy engorgement on her first day. That would’ve ended in a huge meltdown if not for her!!!

Huddle has been an absolute Godsend for us. Our little one was discharged from the NICU, after a total of 17 hospital nights, and my husband and I were struggling with feeding him. We knew we needed support from licensed nurses rather than typical caretakers. Jessica and Huddle absolutely changed our post pardom lives. Huddle provided us with daytime, as well as overnight services. Knowing our baby was in the hands of experienced, licensed, nurses while I rested and recovered, was the biggest peace of mind. We were working on feeding goals in tandem with our pediatrician and Huddle. Together we nursed our baby from a tiny guy, to a little chunk! Without Huddle, I dont think my husband and I would have been able to get our guy as healthy as he is today. We are using the telehealth service as well. Jessica is so knowledgeable and has answers for all of our questions. Its so nice being able to connect with a consistent provider, and have quick, easy access when we have those first time parent questions! One thing Id wish we'd done differently is scheduled Huddle from when I was pregnant rather than after birth. Having services set up from right when we got home would have been the best. If youre considering Huddle and are currently pregnant, I would schedule in advance!

I am an Ayurvedic Practitioner and Nutritionist, Certified Birth Doula, Lactation Consultant, Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, and Lamaze® Childbirth Educator.

My experience spans birth support, newborn care, complex feeding journeys, postpartum recovery, and childhood sleep.

Your mental health is a priority in my care; I make space for honest conversations about exhaustion, overwhelm, identity, and the emotional adjustments of parenthood. Together, we create realistic feeding, sleep, and recovery plans that respect your needs and capacity. When additional support is needed, I help connect families with licensed mental health professionals. My personalized services include: - **Birth preparation and support:** Lamaze® education, Spinning Babies® and Body Ready Method® techniques, comfort measures, partner preparation, and advocacy for your preferences. - **Postpartum recovery:** Ayurvedic nourishment, belly binding, restorative bodywork, and attentive care during the fourth trimester. - **Lactation and feeding:** Weighted feeds, breastfeeding support, pumping and flange guidance, combination feeding, bottle selection, and return-to-work planning. - **Newborn and overnight care:** Experienced support that creates opportunities for rest, recovery, and confidence in caring for your baby. - **Pediatric sleep and development:** Gentle, individualized guidance from infancy through early childhood, including support for neurodivergent children. - **Family nutrition:** Nourishing meal plans tailored to your preferences, routines, and stage of life.

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. ❤️

As a fifth time mother experiencing my very first home birth, I cannot say enough about how incredible Edine is! Even with my past birth experiences, bringing a baby into the world at home felt like a sacred new step, and Edine provided the exact safety, respect, and peace I was looking for. From our very first prenatal visit, she made me feel deeply heard and supported. During and incredibly fast and intense delivery, Edine's calm grounded presence and expert guidance allowed me to trust my body completely. The postpartum care she provided in the tender weeks that followed, was filled with so much warmth and dedication. Edine is an exceptional midwife who brings immense heart and skill to her practice. I am endlessly grateful to her for helping me achieve such a safe, beautiful, and empowering birth experience at home.

Hi I'm Diane Nader Giresi, I'm a DONA Trained and Certified Postpartum Doula, a Certified Lactation Counselor and a Pre/Postnatal Fitness Trainer. I realized with the birth of my first child, that I had to include a wellness plan for my overall wellbeing. I believe we go through different journeys throughout our lives and with each journey, we face challenges. My goal as a postpartum doula, is to provide my clients with individualized non-judgmental support that encourages them on their journey as new parents. Continuing education is always at the forefront, so I can provide the most up to date evidence based research and resources. I attend many workshops and conferences on the ever changing protocols on tongue-tie and oral restrictions. I provide extensive lactation support if choosing to breastfeed. I help develop strategies for success, back to work plans, weaning, pumping, and flange fitting. In addition to newborn care, understanding cues, and newborn sleep patterns. Support looks different for each family. I listen to your needs and together we form a plan that serves your new family unit.

Being in postpartum has made a lot of things more difficult but Diane's help has made one of those hardest things so much more enjoyable and approachable. She was extremely non-judgmental, very attentive, and very observant. I thought all was lost and the meltdowns would be normal,,but after Diane's visit, both baby and I had a much easier time approaching breastfeeding.

First off I want to begin to say she is the most sweetest person I’ve ever met. Very professional very calm great listener and is not afraid to stand on 10 toes behind your wishes. She makes sure of what YOU want and is not afraid to verify what you want over and over right up until you go give birth and even after. She makes sure that your comfortable and that your wishes are heard and one thing I can never get out of my head is her asking me “is this what YOU want” or “ Are you ok with this” “are we on the same birth plan?” even in the hospital in-front of any doctor or nurse she was not afraid to make sure about what IIIII WANTED. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions nor was she afraid to advocate for me. She literally makes it all about you and your birth and your baby. She is available to you at any time if you need her do not be afraid to reach out. She gives great advice she has great techniques that will prepare you for birth during birth and after. This girl deserves an award like I really loved her services she even had a backup plan (still accommodating to your wants and needs) just incase if by any reason she wasn’t available for me when I went into labor. She loves what she does and she’s just a doll. I want her to be my doula again for my next pregnancy 💜

October 2026

We had an exceptional experience with Forever Doula and highly recommend their postpartum doula services as well as the pre-birth class. Our doula, Gabrielle, supported our family during both day and night shifts in the first month after bringing our newborn home to the southeastern Monmouth county area. The overnight support was truly invaluable. Being able to get a full night's sleep occasionally made such a difference during those early weeks, and knowing our baby was in caring, capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. Beyond newborn care, Gabrielle was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive as we worked through breastfeeding and latching challenges. Her guidance, encouragement, and calm presence helped build our confidence as new parents. We also participated in a pre-birth class with Sarah, which was extremely helpful as we prepared for our baby's arrival. With so much information available online and through social media, it can be overwhelming to know what advice to trust. Sarah helped us make sense of everything we were seeing and hearing, provided practical guidance, and patiently answered all of our questions. While we didn't feel that a birth doula was the right fit for us, the pre-birth class was the perfect compromise. We benefited from an experienced doula's expertise in the comfort of our own home, which gave us the confidence and knowledge we needed heading into delivery and those first weeks of parenthood. Throughout our time with Forever Doula, both Gabrielle and Sarah were professional, reliable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in our family's well-being. We were fortunate to have access to these services through my employer's benefits, but after experiencing the value firsthand, I would absolutely recommend Forever Doula even if I were paying entirely out of pocket. The support we received was worth every penny and made a meaningful difference during one of the most important transitions in our lives.
