Jaymie is a proud mother of two. After having a VBAC with a doula she decided that a doula was instrumental in having her voice heard during the time of birth. She knew that empowering women during their pregnancy and allowing them to find their voice was something that she was passionate about. Helping families find the calm within using mindfulness, meditation and breath work is only some of the techniques used to manage labor. Going through and utilizing spinning babies and the rebozo are helpful tools in the birthing space. Whether clients want a natural unmediated birth, or the use of an epidural I am happy to help you get the birth you desire and support you through your decision making process. Always remember… your birth… your choice… your voice! It is an honor and a privilege to be part of your birth team. Jaymie would love to set up some to talk and see if you are a good fit:)

My name is Christine. I am a DONA certified birth doula and placenta encapsulator in the Jersey Shore area. Let's connect!

I set out to become a birth doula over 25 years ago after becoming a massage therapist, but I put this career goal on hold until my children became adults. I finally achieved my goal and became certified as a birth doula this year. As a seasoned massage therapist, I offer a broad understanding of a person's physical and emotional needs, especially during this special time as you prepare your body for the birth of your baby.

Hello! I am a full spectrum doula compassionate about supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with care, support and love!

I am Clarissa Alves. I was born on September 21st in the Bronx, a place that raised me with rhythm, sharp edges, and unexpected beauty. My childhood moved in fragments. Different homes, different states, different schools. I never knew what version of life I would wake up to. As a neurodivergent child, I was not someone who naturally understood people. I learned to survive by noticing shifts in tone, changes in energy, the way someone inhaled before speaking. It was not intuition at first. It was protection. Over time that hyperawareness softened into something grounded and intentional. It became the foundation of the way I now support others. I did not grow up with softness, but I grew up resilient. I did not grow up with safety, but I developed an inner world that protected my truth until I was old enough to claim it for myself. Trauma, displacement, silence, pressure, and the weight of expectations shaped the way I see people today. I see the histories carried in their bodies. I see the lineage behind their fears. I see the child they once were and the parent they are becoming. Every person brings a story with them. I bring mine too. Before adulthood ever arrived, I also survived what should have destroyed me. I survived being kidnapped. I survived rape. I survived molestation, torture, and abuse that tried to separate me from myself. These were experiences that taught me hypervigilance long before I knew language for it. They shaped the way I read pain without needing it explained, the way I notice discomfort before someone names it, the way I honor boundaries as sacred instead of optional. That survival is part of my story, not because it defines me but because it sharpened the way I hold others with care. Today I live in New Jersey with my husband, someone who taught me that love does not have to hurt to be real. He offers a steadiness I once believed did not exist for people built from survival. Together we raise two daughters who carry both fire and softness. They remind me that cycles can be broken gently, that joy can take root in the places where pain once lived, and that motherhood is as much about reparenting our own inner child as it is about nurturing the children in front of us. Motherhood became a spiritual rupture for me. Both of my daughters were conceived after miscarriages that shattered and reshaped me. Recurrent pregnancy loss taught me the duality of hope. It can be delicate and unstoppable at the same time. My pregnancies were marked by hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition that stripped me of strength. Standing became an accomplishment. Breathing felt like work. My spirit felt thin. My body felt foreign. I spent months living in survival mode while growing life inside me. During that time my doula was the first person outside of my husband to offer emotional safety without me having to earn it. She did not turn away from my pain. She did not silence my fear. She held space for me with compassion that felt timeless and ancestral. With her support I became the first in my family to have a vaginal birth and the first to exclusively breastfeed. These moments were not only about birth and lactation. They were about reclamation. They were about healing generational wounds. They were about remembering something I was never meant to forget. Birth felt decolonial in a way I did not have words for at the time. It felt like refusing the narratives forced onto my lineage. It felt like reclaiming a bodily intelligence that colonization, medical racism, and generational trauma tried to sever. It felt like honoring the people before me whose stories were erased. It felt like stepping back into a power that did not come from institutions but from ancestry, intuition, and spirit. Breastfeeding felt like learning a language my body had been told it could not speak. It felt sacred. It felt ceremonial. It felt like sitting at a table with my ancestors and hearing them say you were never broken. Over time I produced more than ten thousand ounces of breast milk, enough to nourish not only my own children but others as well. Every ounce felt like a blessing, an offering, a continuation of a lineage interrupted long before I was born. Before motherhood, I survived what should have ended my life. I endured overmedication by psychiatric providers, multiple overdoses, and a suicide attempt that left my throat slit open. I survived because my body fought for me and because medical intervention carried me back into this world. That history lives inside me. It is not a shadow. It is a source of clarity. It taught me how it feels to unravel without support. It taught me how sacred compassion becomes in a moment of crisis. It taught me to listen in a way that does not require words. My work is shaped by lived experience rather than by certificates on a wall. I check in more because I know what it feels like to be forgotten. I listen deeper because I know how much can be hidden beneath the surface of a steady voice. I show up in ways I once needed someone to show up for me. My empathy runs so deep it sometimes aches, but I would rather risk feeling too much than offer someone less than they deserve. I support neurodivergent parents, anxious parents, traumatized parents, queer parents, Black and Brown parents, first-generation parents, and anyone who carries complicated histories. I understand complexity. I understand the tenderness beneath it. I believe fully in autonomy. I oppose routine infant circumcision and any non consensual procedures on children. I honor the right to decline interventions, change providers, choose pain management, choose an elective cesarean, choose formula, choose whatever protects your body, your boundaries, and your peace. Birth does not ask you to sacrifice yourself. Parenthood does not require erasing your own needs. You deserve informed choice without manipulation or fear. My spirituality is quiet but present in everything I do. I move with moon softness and ancestral strength. I approach birth as a sacred transition rather than a medical event. I see matrescence as a spiritual threshold, a reordering of identity, lineage, and self. I witness people the way I once wished someone could have witnessed me. Fully, gently, and without judgment. Every part of my story informs the way I hold space. Every layer of my life is present in the care I offer, not because I announce it, but because it lives in the way I show up.

I am Joan Sherwood, founder of Peaceful Beginnings To You. My calling to become a doula was born from a personal experience. During the birth of my child, I was left alone in a hospital room without any support. My spouse and brother were sent home because I was not in active labor. My water had broken, so I was admitted, and I faced the daunting process of labor alone, in a secluded area until it was time to push. This experience, where I delivered a 9 -pound, 2-ounce baby without my loved one's present, ignited my passion to ensure that no other person would have to endure such solitude. My journey as a doula began 25 years ago when I assisted a family member through labor. Since then, I have been a source of support and guidance for family and friends, which eventually led me to pursue certification as a birth doula through DONA International. I am deeply committed to holistic birth and postpartum care, and my extensive training reflects this dedication. My education includes a Family Development Credential, studies at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, the Center for Homeopathic Education, and the Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences. I am also a certified Calm Birth Instructor, Infant Massage Instructor Trainer, Womb Sauna Practitioner, and have received postpartum training from Indigemama, BirthMama, Traditional Postpartum Practitioner, and Birth Arts International. My approach to doula care is centered on the needs of the laboring person. I come with no preconceived notions, and I remain as fluid and flexible as possible to meet the evolving needs of each individual. In addition, to running my private doula practice, I have provided doula care to underserved communities as a doula and doula mentor for a federally funded program in Brooklyn.

I am a certified birth doula and a postpartum doula based out of Brooklyn. I'm passionate about providing my clients safe, respectful, loving, and equitable care throughout their journey to meeting their new baby. I am here to offer a sense of stability and comfort as I support you through your unique experience whether that's in a hospital setting, birth center, or the comfort of your home. I focus on supporting clients to have all the information and referrals they could need so that they can make informed decisions for what's best for them and their family. I also work to hold a nonjudgmental space of emotional and physical support for you and your partner, if you have one, during labor and delivery. I believe it is every person's right to have an empowered and gentle birth experience and I am here to protect and cultivate that space for you. I aim to prioritize queer and marginalized communities. Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Her passion for childbirth began in her birthing her four children within five years and learning the amazing power of the mind, soul, and body in physiologic birth and thereafter. Becoming a DONA trained Doula has given her the professional skills and resources to help other birthing people and their partner(s) awaken and tune into this power. As your Doula, she is honored to hold space for you and meet you where you are along your reproductive journey. She will provide emotional, informational, and physical support and hold your hand as you learn to advocate for your preferences in what is the most personal and sacred time in your life. By encouraging you to feel confident, fully supported, in control of your choices, and well equipped with the tools and comfort measures, her goal is to help you optimize any path your birth takes. She especially wants to do all she can to educate the community about the power of birth support, increase access to these evidence based services, and work with BBIPOC and trans and queer birthing people who often experience trauma and inequitable care along their gestational journey. As a Latinx Doula, she is a strong proponent of reclaiming and honoring the cultural roots of birthing communities and their traditional practices. Elizabeth is bilingual in Spanish.
