From preparing for birth to settling in at home and getting everyone more sleep, support is available for whatever stage you're in.
Birth Doula Support
Birth is unpredictable. Having someone beside you who knows birth, knows you, and isn't distracted by everything else happening in the room can make a big difference in how supported and prepared you feel.
My birth doula support begins before labor with time to talk through your preferences, questions, comfort measures, and what matters most to you. When labor begins, I'm there with continuous support for you and your partner through labor, birth, and those first moments with your baby.
Birth doula support includes:
✓ Prenatal meetings to prepare for labor and birth
✓ Help thinking through birth preferences and questions
✓ Evidence-based information so you can make informed decisions
✓ Continuous support throughout active labor and birth
✓ Comfort measures, positioning, movement, and coping techniques
✓ Support for your partner so they can stay involved and confident
✓ A calm, experienced presence as labor changes and unfolds
✓ Immediate postpartum support after baby arrives
✓ Follow-up after birth
Packages start at $1,800

Pediatric Sleep Consulting
You've tried everything. You're exhausted, bedtime has become a battle, naps are all over the place, or your child is waking again and again throughout the night. You don't need another dozen conflicting opinions from the internet. You need to understand what's happening and have a plan for your child.
I work with families from the newborn stage through the preschool years, looking at the whole picture: sleep, feeding, development, daily rhythms, temperament, and what's realistic for your family.
Your sleep plan is personalized to your child. No one-size-fits-all schedules and no expectation that every family wants to approach sleep the same way.
This may be right for you if:
✓ Your baby or toddler is waking multiple times overnight
✓ Naps are short, inconsistent, or a daily battle
✓ Bedtime has become stressful or drawn out
✓ Your baby has their days and nights mixed up
✓ Early mornings are taking over your household
✓ Your toddler or preschooler struggles to fall or stay asleep
✓ You're overwhelmed by conflicting sleep advice and aren't sure what to try next
Two-Week Sleep Support Package — $600
Includes:
✓ Personalized sleep assessment and plan
✓ Two weeks of text support
✓ Unlimited email support
✓ 30-minute call to get started
✓ 30-minute wrap-up call
✓ Adjustments and troubleshooting as we see how your child responds
Available virtually, so sleep consulting is not limited to New Jersey families.
A Doula Meets You Where You Are.
And That Looks Different for Every Family.
As a full spectrum doula and pediatric sleep consultant, my job is to meet your family where you are and offer the kind of support you actually need. That might mean preparing for birth and having an experienced presence beside you through labor. It might mean hands-on newborn care, feeding support, and help finding your footing during the fourth trimester. Or it might come months or years later, when sleep has become the thing your whole family is struggling with.
There is no one right way to need support. My role is to bring practical help, evidence-based guidance, and experience to the stage you're in, while helping you feel more confident in the decisions you make for your own family.
Kind Words
I did not think I needed a postpartum doula because I had done this before. My second baby had other plans. Having Joy available by text meant I never had to spiral down a Google rabbit hole at 2am wondering if something was wrong. She always had a real answer and actual reassurance from someone who knows what she is talking about. I recommended her to every single person in my mommy group.
Amanda R.
Our daughter turned one and had never slept through the night. Not once. We had tried everything and I was starting to think something was actually wrong with her. Joy looked at the whole picture, gave us a plan that made complete sense, and within ten days our daughter was sleeping twelve hours straight. I cried the first morning I woke up before she did.
Robert and Jenna P.
I had a C-section and no family nearby. The first two weeks home were honestly scary. Joy came every morning and I cannot overstate what that meant. She took the baby, made sure I was eating, helped me figure out breastfeeding, and just sat with me when I needed to cry. She did not just support my baby. She supported me.
