HEY THERE TIRED MAMA, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH! Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Erin McCormick. After becoming a mommy of my handsome son, Quaid, I was just as uncertain as you probably are of how to get this little human to sleep through the night. I was exhausted from getting up at all hours of the night. To make matters worse, everyone kept telling me, “nap when the baby naps.” NAP? My baby wasn’t napping long enough for me to fall asleep. What were they talking about? After countless hours of research, reading MANY baby sleep books, and trial & error. We finally decided to work with a 1:1 sleep consultant to learn how to get the most out of the important everyday task of sleep. After learning healthy sleep habits, Quaid started sleeping through the night (11 to 12 hours uninterrupted) at five months old! He also started taking long naps during the day! I decided to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant so I could pay it forward and help other mamas do the same. Through teaching my child to sleep better, I not only gained a happy, energetic, fun, loving child, I also gained my husband back. We have “us” time again. I have the energy to do the things I love again. I have time to enjoy those things or just relax when my child takes a nap or is in bed at a reasonable time. You can do the same!

I am a mom of 3 in Columbia, NJ and currently working as a postpartum doula. My own journey in motherhood and specifically the postpartum period felt very isolating, and I am here now to give mothers the support I wish I had and what I think every family should have.

Hi! I am a dedicated provider with over a decade of experience as a maternal child health nurse. Since becoming a certified International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2016, I have passionately devoted my career to supporting breastfeeding families, particularly in underserved communities. I have lived in New Jersey, Colorado, and Pennsylvania, and until the last year have worked in FQHC's and postpartum hospital floors. My work is deeply rooted in a holistic approach to birth and lactation, aligning with my personal philosophy and experiences. As a mother who breastfed my eldest daughter for two years (with a tongue tie!) and continues to nurse my toddler, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my practice. I am excited about the prospect of tandem nursing my middle while pregnant with a third. My commitment to empowering families through compassionate, evidence-based care is matched by my enthusiasm for fostering environments where holistic and informed choices about breastfeeding and infant care are celebrated. A blend of professional expertise and personal experience uniquely positions me to support and inspire families on their breastfeeding journeys.

Hi, I am Diamond Goode. A newly trained birth/postpartum doula based in NJ/NY. As a proud mom of two, I know that having support means the world during these special yet most vulnerable times. Becoming a new mom or even just being a mom to a newborn all over again can be overwhelming. There is alway new knowledge to learn. That’s where I come in to be that support and help your mental/body needs. My heart is to walk alongside families with understanding, reassurance, and gentle care as they welcome their babies and adjust to new parenthood.

“I had such a wonderful experience with Diamond. Even though she’s new, you’d never know it. She made me feel comfortable, listened to my needs, and offered guidance every step of the way. She’s super down to earth and her calming presence made such a difference, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.”

Hello, my name is Allison Smigiel I am a registered nurse and lactation consultant. My nursing practice started because I wanted to find another way to support parents as they go through the transformational process of pregnancy and parenthood. I believe in empowering women and families by providing evidence-based information, partnership, and support to help them achieve their goals. My love for Obstetrics started after I saw my first birth in nursing school; I have spent the majority of my 16 years as a nurse working in labor & maternity units, and as a lactation consultant.

Allison was such a blessing for my first pregnancy! She coached me through what to expect with labor/delivery. She shared with me her extensive knowledge which empowered me to advocate with confidence for myself during the process. I felt like I had a voice which was respectfully received by the nurses at the hospital. After delivery, Allison was an amazing resource for breast feeding. Ladies, it’s not easy!!! But with Allison’s encouragement, I did it! She had so many tips and tricks for my little one’s terrible latch, lip tie, and seemingly nonstop cluster feedings. She also helped coach me through transitioning to pumping and breast feeding when I went back to work. I can’t say enough good things about Allison! You won’t be disappointed!

I believe that all parents deserve to feel encouraged, respected, and empowered to make the best choices for their families. It was this passion for supporting families that led me to establish Binghamton Metro Doulas. Since 2015, I have provided the Binghamton community with education and support during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
