About me

J’adore Mon Bébé was founded by a first-generation female immigrant and proud second-generation doula with one very simple mission, to give every baby an equal welcome. Our mother-daughter founders bring a combined 45 years of experience, and provide services across the care continuum, including preconception care, fertility doula services, childbirth education, high-risk birth doula care for medically and socially complex birthing people, perinatal loss doula services, and a full suite of postpartum care such as daytime and overnight care, lactation support, and healthy sleep rituals training. Our care approach is highly collaborative, and we empower our patients to develop deep, strong, honest relationships with their medical care providers (OBs and midwives) . We believe that we all need to work together in aid of birthing people and their families to make births safer, more respectful, and empowerful. We are also proud to provide a selection of concierge care services including healthy materials nursery design, baby event planning, travel doula services, healthy home consults, and babymoon planning. Many of our families have leveraged these services and found our proprietary GOTS-certified organic cotton swaddles, sustainable wallpaper, nursery art, and baby carriers to be very helpful as well. Our team have supported clients in three cities and have worked in a variety of birth settings. We hold certifications from Birthing from Within, DONA International, PAILAdvocate, Healthy Material Lab, and many others. Some of us have master’s degrees, are CNAs, IBCLCs, and more. We invite you to explore your wellness in our care at www.jadoremonbebe.com.

Service introduction

Leveraging my mother's experience as a doula for 30 years and my own experience, I developed an inimitable care mode for perinatal as a graduate student that is holistic, evidence-based, and grounded in experience to support the best possible outcomes in a range of birth settings, in collaboration with a trusting care team.

Packages
Birth doula
By engaging a birth doula early in your pregnancy, you benefit from a introductory conversation, an intake appointment, a birth planning conversation, and engage in weekly check-ins through your delivery. You are able to deepen your relationship and sense of trust with both your doula and your physician/midwife. By the time you are in labor, you've reached a newer level of self-awareness, built new skills, and expanded your knowledge about childbirth, parenting, and your own body and relationships. You are supported in early labor at home and feel empowered to go your chosen site of birth confident in your informed choices and decisions. You are supported through your deliver and breastfeeding if you so choose, and you are well positioned to parent with confidence postpartum with six weekly check-ins. With this care model, a doula is a facilitator, guiding you and your partner. You take the baby's lead, following your intuition with trust and confidence.

Postpartum Care
Every baby is different and every family is different. That's why postpartum support looks different for every family. Postpartum support focuses creating an environment that will foster postpartum recovery and enable everyone to get the rest they need to be their best and enjoy the sweet-like candy moments of parenthood.
