What's the Cost of Hiring a Doula in Valley Stream, NY

Oceanside, New York

Michelle Connor

As a certified postpartum doula and sleep consultant, I believe support can change everything in the early days of parenthood. Mothers deserve to be nurtured, families deserve to feel held, and no one should have to figure it all out while running on empty. My work is rooted in the belief that postpartum care should feel personal, compassionate, and realistic. I support families in a way that helps them feel more confident, more rested, and more at ease in their new rhythm. With my background in sleep consulting, I value gentle structure, responsive support, and creating foundations that help the whole family thrive.

Michelle was a lifesaver for our little one! We went from multiple night waking and only contact naps to sleeping through the night and crib naps all day! Highly recommend her help and expertise! It was so comforting to have her constant support when helping our little one sleep independently!

Viv worked with us as our birth and postpartum doula for our first baby. I truly don't know what I would have done without her guidance and support in those last few months of pregnancy through the fourth trimester. She was always available and willing to answer my questions, whether it was breastfeeding, sleep, or general newborn no matter how small. I highly recommend Viv and would absolutely work with her again.

JACQUELINE SANTIAGO

Hi, I’m Jacqueline, but you can call me Jacqui. I’m a full-spectrum doula who believes birth is both sacred and deeply human — not something to “manage,” but something to be supported with care, humor, and grounding energy. My background as an esthetician, medical assistant, and ordained minister means I show up with a calming presence, steady hands, and the ability to connect with just about anyone. I see each family as unique, and I honor every birth plan, every emotion, and every cultural layer that shapes the journey into parenthood. I’m here to hold space, advocate when needed, and help parents feel informed, respected, and genuinely cared for. My philosophy is simple: YOU deserve a birth experience that feels safe, supported, and authentically yours. I show up as both a guide and a teammate — someone who listens first, encourages often, and helps you tap into your own strength. Whether it’s breathwork at 2 a.m., a good laugh when things get intense, or quiet reassurance in the moments that matter most, I’m committed to walking alongside your family with compassion and confidence. My goal is to help you feel prepared, empowered, and never alone during one of the most transformative moments of your life. My hobbies are reading, crafting, hosting karaoke nights at local bars, helping my partner run a part-time catering business and cuddling with our Beagle-mix Emo. I look forward to meeting you!!

The Best Support We Could Have Asked For! We had the immense blessing of working with Priya for both labor/delivery and postpartum care, and I can confidently say she was one of the greatest gifts of our entire journey into parenthood. As first-time parents, the transition can feel overwhelming, but her presence brought comfort, confidence, and so much peace into our home. From the very first moment, she was gentle, knowledgeable, and incredibly nurturing. Her care is rooted in deep Ayurvedic wisdom, and she combines it beautifully with modern newborn support. She went above and beyond in every way. ✨ Labor & Delivery Support Having her with me during labor and delivery made all the difference. She was calm, encouraging, and present through every contraction and every moment of uncertainty. Her guidance helped me stay mentally strong and physically supported. I truly don’t know how I would have done it without her. ✨ Newborn Care She cared for our baby with so much love — from Ayurvedic oil massages, creating gentle daily routines, helping with gas/colic relief, and supporting healthy sleep patterns. Every single thing was done so thoughtfully and respectfully. ✨ Postpartum Recovery For Me She didn’t just help with the baby — she took care of me as a mother: - Ayurvedic belly binding for core support - Warm oil massages - Herbal teas and foods that supported healing and milk production - Emotional and mental support on days I needed it most She made sure I rested, nourished my body, and felt seen and cared for — something every new mother deserves. ✨ Food & Meals Her freshly prepared Ayurvedic meals were amazing. Everything was warm, nourishing, and made to help my body recover and build strength. You can tell she puts her heart into every part of her work. ✨ Family Support She guided my husband, helped us understand newborn cues, and even shared tips that made our whole home more peaceful and soothing for the baby. Her knowledge is priceless. If you are considering Ayurvedic newborn care or postpartum support, don’t think twice. She is truly gifted at what she does. She combines expertise, intuition, and compassion in a way that is rare to find. We felt protected, encouraged, and cared for every single day. We absolutely love her and are so grateful for everything she brought into our lives. She will always be a special part of our birth and postpartum story. ❤️

Hello! I'm KathyAnn, and for the past year, I've had the honor of serving as a Birth Doula. My extensive experience with newborns, along with being a mother myself and working in postpartum care, has truly shaped my approach. What I love most about what I do is the opportunity to advocate fiercely for my clients, provide a nurturing and safe space, and help them connect with their innate strength. If you're looking for support, I'd love to chat more about how I can help and see if we connect well.

KathyAnn helped me through the process of my delivery. I had a hard time with my first child and was so alone in the process. With my second, she was there from day one. Even late at night I would call her and she would answer. She was kind, attentive, and wonderful around. All the way up the delivery, she was there with me. Even after my baby was born, KathyAnn gave me some tips on care for when my baby boy came home with me. I would recommend her to my friends and family.

Hi! I’m Ari, and I am a Birth Doula in the process of getting my certification with Carriage House Birth. I am located in Brooklyn and am available to serve the 5 boroughs and eastern NJ. I don’t look like most other doulas, and I want to work with families who look different, too. As a male-assigned queer person, I believe that all birthing people deserve support that encourages them to have confidence in their bodies, and swim in the awe inspiring capabilities of what our bodies can do. I know I can be your fiercest advocate and cheerleader, working with both you and your partner to bring new life into this world. Because of my unique position, I know I am prepared to work with families of all kinds, with special focuses in engaging the non-gestational parent in the process, and being a voice of reason when helping queer families grow.

Marisa was an AMAZING postpartum doula! She was knowledgeable about so many things and even helped us with nursing, which was a struggle for us. She also made the best food that would sustain us for a week! It was so nice to have nourishment when we really had no time to care for ourselves in the early weeks. Her presence truly made our lives easier. Our baby and our dog also LOVED her - she really became like family! I recommend her so so highly.

Simone has been holding space for expecting and postpartum families for over 10 years. Birth has a powerful way of healing and transforming you, and her first birth did just that. The ability to have 2 empowered births the way she wanted, gave light to the need for advocacy, education and doula support amongst the birthing community, especially black families. Simone is a mother, doula, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, childbirth educator and infant sleep educator. She has been teaching and mentoring doulas along the way and excited to dive deeper into holding the hands of the next generation of birth workers.

Recent review

I cannot say enough good things about Simone as our night doula and lactation consultant. From the moment she entered our home, she brought a sense of calm, compassion, and expertise that made an immediate difference in our postpartum experience. As a second-time mom navigating recovery, sleep deprivation, and feeding challenges, her presence was nothing short of a gift. She supported our entire family with such gentleness and professionalism. Her overnight care allowed us to get desperately needed rest, knowing our baby was in kind, capable hands. Her lactation guidance was equally invaluable. She offered evidence-based support with zero judgment—troubleshooting tummy issues, providing reassurance, and giving practical tools that worked. Thanks to her help, I went from overwhelmed and in pain to confident and empowered. I did not feel a bit of judgment when I chose to go from breastfeeding to formula due to my baby's tummy issues. She listened deeply, responded thoughtfully, and truly respected our parenting values. She didn’t just care for our baby—she cared for us. If you're looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also emotionally attuned and reliable, I wholeheartedly recommend Simone. She’s an absolute gem and a vital part of our early parenting story.

Nubia Jones

14 years of experience

I’m Nubia, a mom of five teens & young adults. I’m an experienced certified birth doula CD(DONA), postpartum doula, parent educator, certified breastfeeding counselor (CLC), an integrative nutrition health coach (IIN) and a student midwife. Mothers deserve to be respected, heard and nurtured doing this major transition in life to becoming a mom, whether its for the first time or the 8th time! I’m a strong advocate for mothers and families birthing in all settings including hospital, home & birth centers. I respect the many choices in mothering and parenting. It's an honor to walk the path of mothering with women as they navigate the many options we have today. I strongly believe in the woman's ability to grow, birth and nourish her baby with her natural, innate abilities while also respecting the need or preference of medical support along the way. It's all about the balance of holistic & medical. My journey supporting women and families began in 2000. After birthing with midwives, I decided to develop a working relationship at the birth center where my children were born. At this free-standing birth center, I served on the board of directors and led support groups for the expectant families and breastfeeding moms. In 2012, my career as a doula took off as I volunteered my services for many families in my hometown, Washington, DC. In 2015, my family relocated and I began serving a diverse population throughout New York and New Jersey where I’m currently practicing, along with a team of equally skilled perinatal professionals. On my spare time I enjoy relaxing on the Jersey Shore beaches, traveling internationally, cooking, dancing, spending time in nature, and enjoying quality time with my teenage and young adult children. I spent a couple of years living abroad and off the beaten path with my children and their dad. It was the most rewarding life experience to date. I plans to serve as a birthworker internationally, as well, so that I can merge my love for international travel and serving mothers.

Without Shelly, I don’t know how I would have gotten through it. She was such a strong support system during my labor, and the messages and techniques she used while I was having contractions helped manage the pain so much—they made it far more tolerable. Even after childbirth, she continued to be there for me, helping with anything I needed. I know that if I ever have any questions or need support, she will always be there to assist me. I feel truly blessed to have had such an amazing doula throughout my pregnancy journey.

Curbeth Tappin

Hi my name is Curbeth Tappin founder of Embrace a New Love postpartum services. I am a postpartum doula with 13 years of experience, providing exceptional care to families during the perinatal period. My journey into this field was inspired by my upbringing in a household with a mother who was a midwife, where I witnessed the miracle of birth and recognized the need for more support for both the birthing parent and baby during the postpartum period. As a postpartum doula, I offer comprehensive support to new mothers, including lactation assistance and daily infant care such as feeding and bathing. When working overnight, I ensures the baby's sleep environment is safe and maintains a detailed journal of sleep and feeding patterns. Trained by DONA International, I am well-equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to provide excellent care to both newborns and parents. My passion for postpartum care shines through in my dedication to helping families navigate this transformative time with comfort and confidence.

Recent review

Curbeth Tappin helped my family. Curbeth was the postpartum doula for my sister a few years before I got pregnant with my 4th child. My sister recommended that I hire her because of how much she helped her with her daughter. Curbeth came into my home after my son’s birth and had the nursery completely organized. She assisted me to acclimate the older children with the new baby. She allowed me to rest while she took care of my son. Although I had 3 other children this time breastfeeding was a bit of a struggle. Curbeth provided lactation support as well as emotional support, which I needed to get through that difficult period. She stayed and worked with my family for 3 month. A couple months later i found out I was pregnant with my 5th and last child. Curbeth returned and provided the same amazing support she provided the first time. Having 2 child under 2 years old was a very difficult, but Curbeth made this so much easier. Her patients and loving nature made her feel like part of the family. I know that any family she works for will receive the best support ever.
