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.

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.

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.

Hello, my name is Sela (say-la) and I’m a NY-based doula, certified with the National Black Doula Association ( https://www.blackdoulas.org/ ). A doula is a trained professional that provides emotional and physical support to pregnant/postpartum women and their partners. I am an advocate, coach, and resource for the community. I am also a certified lactation support counselor through Birth Day Presence ( https://birthdaypresence.com/ ), a trained herbal therapist ( https://hoodherbalism.com/ ), a member of NYC Birth Village ( https://www.nycbirthvillage.com/ ), and a Childbirth Educator with CB International ( https://childbirthinternational.com/ ). I started my career exclusively doing birth work, but the more I was exposed to postpartum care and lactation education, I fell deeply in love. My work at the Boram’s ( https://boramcare.com/ ) postnatal retreat center in Manhattan then catapulted me into postpartum work and built my confidence through hands-on experience with lactation issues. Meeting with dozens of mothers per shift, it kept me quick on my feet in a way that I thought only being an on-call birth doula could feed. And yet kept me grounded and adaptable to switch between different realms of energy seamlessly within seconds. Now, as a full-fledged postpartum doula and lactation consultant, I dedicate my work to guiding families through a whole new season of life with warm hands and listening ears. My goal is to meet you where you are so that each unique union feel supported, confident, and cared for every step of the way.
