We are a community of doulas supporting women and their families on their birth journey. With a spectrum of services, to accommodate every budget, our mission is to provide services for every family that desires an empowered, woman-centered birth experience.  We view pregnancy, birth, and postpartum as a sacred rite of passage, and provide ritual, resource, and physical support to enliven this transformation.  Blending ancient and modern birth arts, we help women and their partners to awaken to their intuition as both baby and parents are born. 

The journey to motherhood profoundly effects who we become as mothers, as partners, and as women. Pregnancy and birth transform us.  For many of us it goes beyond how we mother and changes our own lives forever. 

We are birthkeepers, supporting our sisters through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period.

    Birth has not changed since the beginning of time.  Cultural attitudes and methods may have changed but women have always been able to birth our future with grace and beauty.  We believe birth is a natural, normal, and powerful process. We have confidence in each woman's ability to give birth in a way that is empowering for her.  We believe women and their babies should be nurtured through their pregnancies, supported through their births, and mothered through their postpartum.

We serve North Jersey and Central Jersey and parts of New York City.  Bergen, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Mercer, Monmouth, Morris, Passaic,  Somerset, and Union Counties.

We support all hospital and home births and specialize in VBAC, twins, and unmedicated birth.
We serve families in all forms:  single parents, couples, co-parents, and all other manifestations of family. We embrace people of all sexual orientations, cultures, colors, abilities and spiritual beliefs.
