Dr. Heather (Chana) Gass holds a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology and has been involved in research and education for over a decade. When she was expecting her first child she knew she wanted to strictly breastfeed. After a traumatic birth her baby was taken to the NICU, and a challenging nursing journey began. Dr. Gass felt she was unprepared for initiating breastfeeding, pumping while the baby was in the NICU, and maintaining a strong milk supply. These struggles propelled her to learn more about lactation and become a lactation care provider, as a certified lactation counselor through the Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice. Dr. Gass is committed to helping you initiate and sustain a strong breastfeeding connection with your baby. Dr. Gass provides comprehensive support through classes, prenatal education, and postpartum care to help you confidently initiate and sustain a strong breastfeeding relationship.

My name is Oldine Cyrius My approach is centered on creating a safe, supportive environment where families feel heard and valued. I believe in the power of positive birth experiences and work to facilitate these through education, advocacy, and hands-on support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. As a mother, I've lived the challenges and joys of parenting, and this informs my empathetic and practical approach to caring for new families. My goal is to help families navigate the journey of childbirth with confidence and joy, knowing that the support they receive can have a lasting impact on their lives. As a doula and midwife for 13 years experiences, I am dedicated to supporting women and families through the journey of childbirth, providing care that is both nurturing and empowering. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that every birth is unique and deserving of respect, and that women should be at the center of their care, making informed decisions about their bodies and their babies. Having experienced motherhood myself, as the mom of a beautiful daughter, I bring a deep understanding of the emotional and physical aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting to my work. This personal experience, combined with my professional training, allows me to offer comprehensive support that addresses the whole family's needs.

As a professional in the childcare industry for over 15 years, my next step to become a Post Partum Doula was truly an incredible choice.

EVERYONE deserves support during the post partum period, no matter what.

I am a mother to a 5 year old and have loved children since I was a child myself. I have always been someone who enjoys helping people. I started on the path towards nursing, earning my Associate’s degree in Fall of 2022. After mostly completing my degree in summer of 2022, I realized my personality wouldn't shine in nursing. I am more empathetic and personable, which lead me to becoming a doula. I started with birth doula in August and it opened my eyes to my passion for birthwork. Shortly after, I took the postpartum doula workshop. That led me to also taking infant CPR, and earning a certified lactation support counselor as well. I am looking forward to sitting for the Lamaze CBE exam Fall of 2023. I have worked with families both prior to these certifications and currently and I can’t wait to explore and learn more

Hello there! I'm Isha, your dedicated elite certified newborn care specialist, postpartum doula, and birth doula with over a decade of experience helping families navigate the beautiful chaos of new parenthood. What parents often call my "baby whisperer" abilities are simply the result of 10 years spent learning the subtle language of newborns and creating calm in what can feel like the eye of a hurricane. When I'm not supporting growing families, you can find me performing improv and comedy on stages across New York City, channeling my creative energy into laughter and storytelling. And yes, if you catch me making Star Trek references during our time together, that's just the Trekkie in me coming out—boldly going where many exhausted parents have gone before, but with a touch of humor and expertise to light the way.

My experience as a Doula dates back to when I supported family and friends, unknowingly providing post-partum and supportive care. I've worked in the healthcare field for 15 (+) years at various hospitals & clinics, specifically in women's reproductive health. Having worked in both the private & public sectors of healthcare, I realized I wanted to not only support but advocate for those who could not speak out for themselves, all while being a source to women that needed resources. I didn't realize that all of this would bring me full circle to my purpose of becoming a doula! I've worked with women and families, providing evidence-based support for labor, post-partum, mental, & spiritual needs. During the 4th trimester (postpartum) Not only will I support and offer education as to what to expect for yourself during this physically and emotional time but I will also help you understand your newborn developments and milestones. No pregnancy or postpartum is ever the same; I encounter each one with an open mind & and heart, giving you the support that I know will put your mind at ease.
