Hi everyone! My experience with birth started with my first birth: my son was born peacefully at home in the water. I fell in love with birth right away, and began taking doula classes. My approach to prenatal, labor, and postpartum care is mother and family centered. I’ve also trained in labor massage, Ayurvedic postpartum nutrition, childbirth education, and as a lactation educator and placenta specialist. My goal is to offer support, assurance, and information to my families at every step of their early parenthood journey. My philosophy and education align best with mamas who are pursuing natural birth and holistic support. I have experience with VBACs, HBACs, and free births.

As a certified postpartum doula and certified lactation counselor since 2022, I have guided dozens of families as they've grown their families. Birth and new parenthood can be unpredictable, and I am here as a trusted resource to help you navigate the experience. I believe that each family's journey is deeply personal — shaped by individual circumstances, values, and needs — and that as a result there is no single "right" way to navigate new parenthood. My goal is to provide unbiased, evidence-informed guidance so that parents can confidently make decisions that feel right for them, whatever they may be. I’m honored to be a part of such a personal and intimate experience for the clients I serve. In my free time I enjoy long walks my dog, Frank, cooking up a storm for friends, and tending to my garden. Prior to becoming a doula, I received my BA in modern Middle Eastern history from Yale University and worked in political and nonprofit consulting.

**Please note, all my reviews are available on DoulaMatch.Net and my website linked at the bottom of this page** :) As a birth + postpartum doula, childbirth educator, infant-feeding + lactation specialist, and IBCLC in training, Andreina has served the growing families of Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey since 2014. Her passion for birth work, expectant families, and newborns has been prevalent since she was a child- watching television series like TLC’s A Baby Story, which chronicled different birthing experiences throughout the United States. It was this initial peek into the sphere of birth in America that made Andreina aware of the disconnection that society had to an event so preternatural and fundamentally inherent such as birth. In her pursuit of restoring the sense of confidence and capacity in all birthing people, Andreina trained under renowned DONA International Doula trainer Rina Rios, and was subsequently selected to join the year-long Manhattan Birth training and mentorship program, led by doula turned home birth midwife, Tanya Wills CNM. Learning under these knowledgeable and influential women, Andreina gained invaluable knowledge that complemented her natural passion and innate skills in supporting expecting and newly postpartum individuals. Such skills and passion were further honed during Andreina’s own 72 hour home birth experience where she and her husband welcomed their son in 2022. With a bachelor of science from Iona University and five years of experience as a skilled pediatric phlebotomist, Andreina’s approach to childbirth, lactation, and postpartum melds the best of western medicine with the best of tried and true holistic care for all of her clients.

Hi, and welcome to Wholehearted Welcome. I’m Karen—but you’re more than welcome to call me Nana. I’m a mother of three—twins born by C-section and a daughter lovingly welcomed through adoption—and a proud grandmother of five, including one cherished bonus grandchild. I’m currently working toward my certification through Mama Glow, and I offer birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum support, along with sibling prep when needed. I come to this work as an elder, a world citizen, and someone who shows up with open arms, a full heart, and a deep belief that birth is a sacred journey. I’m the kind of doula who jumps in with both feet—ready to hold space, advocate, laugh with you, cry with you, and do what needs to be done. Whether you’re parenting solo, welcoming through adoption, or finding your way as a new family, I create a warm, steady, and wholehearted space where you’ll feel supported every step of the way.

My passion is helping people overcome struggles especially when it comes to health. I have been a breastfeeding counselor for 7 years and an IBCLC for 3 years. I have a masters degree in biology and am a mother to 2 children.

Hello Mamas! I am Ashley and I am so glad that you have found my lactation profile. I am a caring and compassionate lactation consultant that was inspired to enter lactation consulting after my first failed attempt to breastfeed my oldest daughter. After diving into breastfeeding education, I successfully breastfed my youngest son for sixteen months with the help of an amazing lactation consultant (see, even lactation consultants need lactation consultants). In 2020, I completed a Doctorate of Public Health degree where my research focused on breastfeeding success. For the past six years, I have been working in higher education, while volunteering for a breastfeeding organization. In September of 2020, I sat for and passed the IBCLC exam. I am also a certified lactation educator and provide prenatal educational classes. I am originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania and currently reside in Brooklyn, New York with my husband and two children. Being in NYC, I do have some favorite places including the MET and the American Museum of Natural History (because it’s my daughter's favorite).
