Hi, I am certified postpartum/birth doula and certified breast feeding specialist located in Brooklyn, NYC. I serve Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. Birth and postpartum can be enjoyed once you have the support and education that you need. The way I practice is to creates a judgement free environment for all parents seeking emotional and educational support. When I am not working I enjoy cycling, cooking (trying new recipes) spending time with my family traveling and reading. As a way to give back to the community I offer my doula services at a free and low cost to qualifying persons.

I was so happy to have Ally by my side for the delivery of my son! Our prenatal sessions with super informative and made me feel prepared and confident going in to the birth process. Most of all, I deeply appreciated Ally's peaceful, intuitive, and positive nature throughout my labor. That is exactly what I needed most leading up to and during birth. I have a lot of great memories around my birth, attributed largely to the support and environment that Ally helped create throughout the whole process. I highly recommend hiring Ally as a doula. Their care was so crucial for my family. Our OB and nurses also commented on how nice it was to have them there with us during birth!

Hello Everyone! My name is Karen Wong, and I am an experienced nanny and house manager based in northern NJ. I am passionate about caring for young families. I have extensive experience with children from infancy onwards. I am well versed in both western and traditional Chinese methods of postpartum care for both baby and mom. I aim to create a steady and supportive environment where mothers and babies thrive together. In my free time, I love new experiences, travel, and delicious food!

Recent review

Karen has watched all three of my babies, and I recommend her highly. She just “gets” babies. When I was a first-time mom, I learned so much just from watching her. I have seen her soothe my screaming babies and calm them like magic. She is very detail oriented and meticulous with directions. I always slept better knowing she was taking care of my children. If your baby is slightly older, she also cooks fresh baby food. As a bonus, she will always leave your house as clean (or much cleaner) than when she came in!

Geeta is amazing and we loved having her as a post-partum doula. She was incredibly helpful, kind, and soothing during the daytime sessions and was an absolute life saver during the night sessions. She was amazing with our daughter (and our pets!), and really put us at ease when she was around. We felt so comfortable with her and knew our daughter was in good hands; we would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a post-partum doula.

Booking Donnette’s postpartum doula services is one of the best decisions we have made as parents to our baby. Donnette is incredibly knowledgeable and has a calm, friendly presence that was simply a pleasure to have in our home. She helped us immensely in the first weeks of our baby’s life with caring for him day and night, answering all of our questions, creating schedules, setting up the many gadgets a baby requires and much, much more. Donnette helped us feel confident in our new role as parents and empowered us to trust our intuition. I must add that she was also so lovely with our rambunctious dog! We enjoyed our time with Donnette so much that we have even asked for some additional hours after her time with us completed. We highly recommend Donnette for her postpartum doula services and hope to work with her again for our next baby!

I bring a nurturing presence and a calm, reassuring approach to help create a warm and comforting environment where parents feel truly supported and valued. My mission is to offer compassionate, knowledgeable care to families welcoming new life—guiding them through both the joyful moments and the inevitable challenges with patience, empathy, and expertise. In addition to my core practice, I have experience working in kosher kitchens and providing attentive, respectful care for infants following their bris, ensuring families feel confident and cared for during this sacred time.

Recent review

We had the pleasure of having Chamaine support and guide us for the first five weeks after our daughter was born via C-section. As first-time parents returning home after a difficult pregnancy followed by a brief NICU stay, we felt very overwhelmed and anxious about entering the new phase of our lives. Chamaine was like a ray of sunshine entering our home, providing us with an instant sense of warmth and comfort. She made a concerted effort to connect with and care for our entire family, including our newborn daughter, our (extremely needy) dog, and both of us parents. We’ve gleaned so much valuable knowledge from Chamaine that we will surely carry with us throughout parenthood. We couldn’t have asked for someone more nurturing, responsible, thoughtful, and attentive to care for our daughter, and it brought us so much peace to know that she was in such great hands each day and night. We were so lucky to have had Chamaine as our baby nurse, and none of us (dog included!) could have gotten through this challenging adjustment period without her. We appreciate her tremendously and she will always be a very special part of our family!

Hello everyone, my name is Brielle, and I am a birth worker supporting families through both home and hospital birth experiences. All aspects of comprehensive birth support are my passion, and I believe deeply in empowering families to make informed choices that align with their values and circumstances. Coming from a background that honors both traditional wisdom and evidence-based practices, I believe birth can be a transformative experience when families feel genuinely supported and heard, regardless of their chosen birth setting. My practice serves as a bridge between different approaches to birth, bringing personalized, mother-centered support into all birthing environments. I'm guided by three core principles: Trust in women's innate capacity and their ability to make the best decisions for their families, Presence that creates calm space for families to process and navigate their birth experience, and Respectful Witnessing - being fully present for families without imposing my own agenda on their journey. With almost nine years of experience as a doula beginning in New York City, I've supported families across diverse settings and circumstances. My understanding of birth support has been enriched through studying with traditional practitioners internationally, and I come from a family lineage of midwifery that spiritually informs my approach to this work. My approach focuses on empowering families to access their own strength and wisdom wherever they choose to birth, combining time-tested support techniques with respect for modern medical care when needed. I believe every family deserves compassionate, knowledgeable support that honors their unique path to parenthood. Reach out if you'd like to connect on an intro call!
