Hi! I am Cecelia Henningham, a fully capable, competent, nurturing, and compassionate mother of three, who enjoys caring for others as a caregiver. I go above and beyond to ensure that I am able to provide for anyone that is entrusted in my care and I believe that my ability to show constant effort makes me fit for completing any given tasks that I’ve been assigned, as well as having acquired competencies in the newborn care industry throughout my years of experience and certification. My nurturing nature stems from my personal experience as a mother, which compels me to be quite compassionate and driven in caring for others, and in addition, I enjoy listening and communicating with others while still maintaining a professional demeanor. I believe my skillset, certifications and passion for this field will make me a prime candidate in taking care of your newborn. I am a certified Newborn Care Specialist / Postpartum Doula with over 18 years of experience and have cared for children aged from newborns to 18 years of age. I am highly skilled in infant care, and have acquired extensive knowledge of safety precautions, feeding techniques, and educational activities to stimulate the social, cognitive, and physical development of your child. I have also been fully vaccinated against Covid 19, Whooping cough, influenza, hepatitis, Tdap and MMR and have acquired certification in sleep condition, Infant CRP, and pediatric First Aide. As a Newborn Care Specialist /Postpartum Doula, I aim to provide vital personalized support to parents in the comfort of their home. My passion lies in offering guidance and instruction, to help in the building of confidence of parents,’ while still supporting their values and beliefs during the first few months of their baby’s life. From progressively teaching the babies to self sooth and establishing a healthy sleep pattern, to feeding in the middle of the night, and swaddling back to bed, all of which will help in the development of a healthy sleep schedule, providing comfort to both the baby and the parents.

Hi I’m Bergen, the CEO of The Butterfly Doula. I am a Childbirth Educator, Labor coach, Transition coach, Labor doula, Placenta specialist, and Newborn Care specialist. I service North and Central Jersey. I work in some parts of South Jersey, NY and Pa. I’m here to support you through pregnancy with any/all my specialties.

From the start of my career as a Physician Assistant, I was drawn to pediatrics and the mother-baby dyad. My PA journey kicked off on the pediatric ward at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, NY, where I was completely captivated by caring for children and families. Then, life brought me to Central NJ, where I had the opportunity to work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, caring for some of the tiniest, most vulnerable patients. I became a board-certified lactation consultant and was thrilled to offer lactation consultations and make a real difference for new parents and babies. Bringing together my neonatal and pediatric medical experience with lactation and breastfeeding medicine has been incredibly rewarding! I’m proud to be board-certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners. But I didn’t stop there—I went on to get a Master's in Healthcare Administration from the University of Maryland, and I’ve continued to push myself to learn and grow in every way possible. I’ve trained in advanced bodywork techniques, including craniosacral therapy (CST) through the Upledger Institute and the Barnes Myofascial Release method. I’ve also attended the Oral Habilitation of the Breastfeeding Dyad course three times! Continuing education is a constant for me because I believe there’s always more to learn when it comes to helping families. I have 2 locations, in Edison and Brick, NJ and have focused on creating a collaborative practice which includes other specialists as well. Whether it’s kayaking, biking, or tending to our organic and medicinal garden, my family and I like finding new ways to stay active and connected with nature.
