Birth is an experience that most women never forget in their lives. As a mother myself I reflect on my commencement from just being a young adult to becoming a Mother. In reflection I remember every single individual that was involved in not just my labor but my education, comfortability, and exciting changes. I remember feeling so excited but more importantly, so ready. That confidence and clarity as a first time mother is what I want for every woman. As a Doula, it is my passion to teach, encourage and care for the mothers in my care just as my family did for me. I want her to look back on this experience and not remember fear or pain but pride and courage. I look forward to discussing your unique vision for your birth and making this a wonderfully beautiful experience before during and after your delivery.

Hello, my name is Bashy, and I am a passionate and certified doula dedicated to supporting individuals and families through the transformative journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. My role as a doula is to provide emotional, physical, and informational support tailored to each client's unique needs. I am trained in techniques that promote comfort during labor, such as breathing exercises, positioning, and massage, and I strive to create a calm and empowering environment for birthing individuals. Beyond labor support, I offer guidance during the prenatal phase, helping families prepare for the birthing experience and navigate any concerns. In the postpartum period, I assist with recovery, breastfeeding, and adjusting to life with a newborn. What inspires me most about being a doula is the privilege of witnessing the strength and resilience of birthing individuals while contributing to their positive birth experiences. I am committed to fostering trust, respect, and confidence, empowering families to make informed decisions that align with their values and preferences.

"I wish I knew about this sooner!" I hear this phrase frequently by newer parents. A s a Doula, I provide more than ice chips and a hand to crush during labor. I specialize in perinatal anxiety & mood disorders (PMAD) and provide education, resources, and support for those who think they may, or are already experiencing PMAD's. This transition is hard. It's not just welcoming home a new baby, it's radically accepting a new identity, a new routine, a new personality of yourselves. Theres no reason to have to struggle through alone thinking something is wrong with you. This is very common. I'd love to help you adjust in the ways that matter; relevant education, real-life local resources, and hands-on support.

If you wish to contact me and schedule an appointment, please visit my website https://thelaborlounge.org/contact/ Ines Serna is a mother, childbirth educator, and doula with a Master of Health Sciences in Public Health. She became interested in pregnancy and the birth process after having her first child in 2010. Shortly after, Ines started working for the childbirth education department at a prestigious Bergen County hospital, where she gained a great deal of knowledge about maternity services. After the birth of her second child in 2014, she decided to become a childbirth educator. Through her two birth experiences, she realized that the power of knowledge can have a positive impact on birth outcomes. While working as a childbirth educator at the hospital, Ines saw the necessity of giving additional support to her clients. She has trained with DONA International to obtain all the required skills to assist mothers during the birth process. Ines is dedicated to expanding her knowledge by attending maternal and child health conferences, seminars, and networking with health professionals in the community. Ines’s extensive hospital experience has allowed her to see and understand the need to continue advocating for patient-centered care. She believes a patient’s personal preferences, such as values, cultural traditions, family support, and lifestyles, must be taken into consideration. Ines is passionate about supporting expectant parents by making sure they understand that they have options before, during, and after birth. She firmly believes that EVERY woman deserves a good support network. A network that consists of health professionals, along with family, friends, and, of course, the support of a doula, is the greatest gift parents can experience in their lifetime.
