About me

Hi! I'm Lorraine. I'm a doula and lactation counselor. I'm also the founder of Repose Postpartum, a postpartum care company that focuses exclusively on recovery, newborn care, and breastfeeding. I've worked with about 300 families throughout NJ and NYC over the past 8 years. I encourage you to think of yourself as the CEO of your home, and to bring in a doula as a postpartum consultant who will help you navigate their new normal and help you start their parenthood journey on the right foundation. That looks like: • Ensuring that your physical and mental health is prioritized, as it's the foundation for your family's unit • Translating newborn care into systems that actually support rest and recovery • Guiding you on how to better understand and respond to your baby's cues and behavior • Providing breastfeeding counseling so that you can feel more informed and supported on how they feed their baby • Educating you on the intricacies of newborn sleep, and helping to implement gentle and realistic sleep routines. I accept most benefit programs offered by employers. I'd love to learn more about how my team and I can support you during the early postpartum period.

Repose Postpartum was a true game changer for our family. From the very beginning, Lorraine was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. She helped us feel confident in caring for our baby while also prioritizing rest and recovery. I can't recommend Repose Postpartum highly enough to any family looking for meaningful and professional postpartum support.

Mimi was an amazing birth doula for me. She has such helpful info to share leading up to the birth and really helped me understand what to expect at every stage of labor and delivery. She was right by my side through the whole labor and birth, keeping me calm and supported. She fit in so naturally with my husband, mom, and the nurses that it felt like she was part of the family. Highly recommend!

Our company provided us with doula benefits through a program called Carrot. Lorraine connected us with Rose to help with our newborn at night for several weeks after birth. It was the single best decision we made, not just for our youngest daughter but for our entire family. My wife found more support and guidance than she could have ever hoped for. And we half joke that our youngest daughter found her new best friend. Rose was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond. She melded perfectly into our new family of four’s hectic schedule. We are incredibly grateful to have crossed paths with Rose! Thank you Lorraine for facilitating the connection!

Lorraine and Paige are absolutely fantastic! After having a difficult birth my husband and I realized we needed some extra help at night so that I could truly sleep and recover. During our search we came across Repose birth services. Best decision we made! I was able to get the sleep I really needed and the comfort of knowing my baby was well taken care of. I look forward to working with them again in the future!

Absolutely LOVED working with Mijanou (Mimi) President. Her level of communication throughout my pregnancy and birth process was incredible. She was not only extremely supportive and responsive but had a really great way of explaining the labor and delivery process to me. She provided the exact level of detail I needed and simplified such an overwhelming process for me where I felt well prepared for my labor with her guidance. She showed up the hospital with remarkable timing and was the calming presence I needed. She also worked extremely well with my doctor - where my doctor asked for her contact details and mentioned to me on two different occasions how impressed she was with Mimi and how Mimi was now on the top of her referral list. My parents also really loved and valued her presence when they met her shortly after my baby arrived. I can’t recommend her enough! She is an absolute gem and has really found her calling in life with this role.

I’ll admit, I didn’t totally understand what a postpartum doula did when my wife first brought it up. But after working with Lorraine and her team, I can confidently say this was one of the best decisions we made as new parents. Lorraine wasn’t just there for my wife and the baby. She included me, guided me, and never made me feel like I was in the way. I learned how to swaddle, how to soothe, how to support my wife in a real, hands-on way without feeling judged for not already knowing what to do. Postpartum can be overwhelming, and as a dad, it’s easy to feel unsure or left out. But this support made me feel more confident, more connected, and more present. I’d recommend this service to any partner who wants to show up fully but isn’t sure where to start. Worth every penny.

Hiring Lorraine and her team was hands-down one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy. From the moment we connected, she made me feel empowered, informed, and supported without ever being pushy or overwhelming. She listened to what we wanted, matched us with the perfect doula, and stayed involved the whole way through. Our postpartum support was a literal lifesaver. I was able to rest, focus on healing, and actually enjoy bonding with my baby instead of stressing over every little thing. Our doula helped with feedings, answered all our late-night questions, and reminded me to take care of myself, too. Don’t hesitate. Book them.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Lorraine. She is caring, diligent and works tirelessly everyday to make sure her families are satisfied. I would recommended her a 1000 times more.
