I am Camila and I am a Postpartum Doula totally dedicated to help families welcoming their baby I am deeply dedicated to offering emotional and physical support to mothers and their families throughout the postpartum process. I am a compassionate and non-judgmental person who takes joy in helping families build confidence in their parenting roles. My dedication involves identifying the most effective methods to meet her clients' needs. Through my work as a Doula , I've noticed the difficulties parents encounter in getting their babies to sleep through the night. This is what led me to become a Sleep consultant. I believe that embodying the role of a Doula means being a friend, a confidant, and someone capable of guiding the family to stay focused on what truly matters. I have great recommendations, has a very open communication and easy going working style.

I have always been passionate about doing work that provides deep, meaningful support. After years of working as a nanny, and my own experience in becoming a mother, I found the support for new parents to be nearly non-existent. When my kids were born I felt very unprepared and alone. I became a doula because I know how hard postpartum is. I know how it feels to be exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure of yourself as a new parent. I also know it doesn't have to feel that way. My business was brought to life because of my passion for helping new families not just survive those early postpartum days and weeks, but to thrive. You don't need to do this alone. As a new parent, you deserve as much nurturing care and community as your baby. I want parents everywhere to flourish during postpartum. You deserve to be heard, cared for, and allowed to rest. Being able to provide non-judgmental support, warmth, and ease some of the stress of those early days of parenthood is truly my passion and a dream come true. When I'm not caring for amazing families you'll find me enjoying my kids, our two cats, reading, and gardening.

I have been a full-spectrum doula for almost 4yrs. I primarily focus on postpartum care, supporting families as they welcome their new baby and adjust to life together. With training in Spinning Babies® and experience in lactation support, I provide a blend of knowledge, gentle guidance, and hands-on care to nurture both parents and babies. My approach is both nurturing and empowering. I feel honored and privileged to be welcomed into families’ homes, and I often become a trusted part of their circle during this sacred time. I also believe in the importance of finding the right fit—every family deserves a doula who feels like the right match for their values, needs, and journey.

Sharonda looked after my grandson from birth til about 18 months old. She is a very experienced and knowledgeable baby whisperer. She helped guide the new mom and dad in the ways of babydom and she was sweet and loving to my grandson. She has the confidence and knowledge born of years of experience that together spell kind reassurance and wisdom.

I’m a certified doula specializing in postpartum care, a lactation counselor, and a pre/postnatal yoga teacher. My heart lies in blending ancient wisdom with modern practices to help families navigate the fourth trimester and help mothers fully heal from birth, step into their new identity of mother with confidence, and show up for their growing family from a centered place. I believe that when we care deeply for postpartum families, we cultivate communities that are honest, gentle, radical, and resilient. These are the communities that change the world.

As a night postpartum doula, my approach centers on responsive care and fostering secure attachments. With over 8 years of professional childcare experience, I bring a unique blend of warmth, expertise, and a deep understanding of family dynamics to every home I support. My journey began in a bustling diverse household (Filipina immigrant mama & American dad with Chinese, European, and Spanish roots) as the third eldest of eight, where I naturally became my mother’s helper. This early immersion in childcare instilled in me a profound comfort around infants and children. Today, I draw on this foundation to provide families with compassionate, responsive care that prioritizes the emotional and physical well-being of both parents and babies. I believe that by responding promptly and sensitively to a baby's needs, we lay the groundwork for secure attachments, fostering a nurturing environment where both babies and parents can thrive.

You need her! We couldn’t have made it without Briana. Her level of broad expertise is unmatched. Any parents fortunate enough to access her knowledge and care are truly lucky. Parents book her months in advance because she’s so in demand, and we were honored to see her practice her craft. Briana was everything we needed as we stepped into parenthood. She has a wonderful and calming presence that fills the room. Our baby adored her and always felt warm and safe in her arms. She assisted my wife with bottle feeding, sleep habits, positive attachments, laundry, cleaning bottles and pumps, breastfeeding, and provided excellent lactation resources. She was there for both the rough and good nights, always maintaining a positive attitude and a “let’s do it” mindset, without a hint of judgment. As a dad, whenever I had questions on how to support my wife, Briana always answered and reassured me that I was doing everything right and more as a father. Parenthood is not easy, and Briana was our village to get through it. So no, I am not going to justify her rate. She is a Rolls Royce, and a Rolls Royce don’t explain themselves.

My journey in birth work started at age 12, when I had the unique experience of catching my little sister. At age 22, I started my work as a volunteer doula in Vermont, serving members in the community who lacked support. My early volunteer work gave me a deep understanding of how hospitals function, and how to work with medical staff towards the best possible outcomes for parent and child. In 2023, I was trained and certified through DONA, with mentorship by Penny Bussell Stansfield and Dr. Teri Nava-Anderson. Having been through two training programs has given me a diverse range of strategies to draw upon in our prenatal planning sessions and during your labor and birth! I have been honored to participate in many birth stories, each with unique circumstances and goals. I have experience supporting medicated and unmedicated vaginal births, scheduled and emergent Cesarean births with first, second, and fourth-time parents, queer parents, low-income parents, autistic parents, non-native English-speaking parents, sexual assault survivors, people with depression, and parents of color. I am a member of the queer community and this has strengthened my belief that all bodies deserve respectful, compassionate, and culturally humble care.

Hi There! I'm Maddie, I am a C-FSD ('22) and live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Being a doula is my identity above all other identities. My training with Birthing Advocacy guides my approach which is: evidence-based, unbiased, judgment-free, and trauma-informed. My goal is for you to have an empowered experience with this transformative life event. I am also deeply passionate about menstrual health and providing people with the details of this biological process and its physiological response, and how to build a collaborative relationship with the menstrual cycle (a key indicator of your overall health!). When I am not talking about reproductive health, you’ll find me spending my time learning about life. I am a creative and my favorite expression is through photos. I am a student of my spirituality. I love to move my body, travel, cook, and love – all things that teach us about life and connect us to the people and the earth around us.

My husband and I will forever be grateful to Janay for helping us get through the first few months of a newborn! Janay brought expertise, warmth, and patience to her role as a nighttime doula. She answered our manyyy questions and helped us make decisions. It was such a blessing to get some more sleep while feeling confident that our little one was in good and loving hands with Janay. And outside the direct care she gave, she was a great communicator and always punctual. Thank you, Janay!
