I’m Nubia, a mom of five teens & young adults. I’m an experienced certified birth doula CD(DONA), postpartum doula, parent educator, certified breastfeeding counselor (CLC), an integrative nutrition health coach (IIN) and a student midwife. Mothers deserve to be respected, heard and nurtured doing this major transition in life to becoming a mom, whether its for the first time or the 8th time! I’m a strong advocate for mothers and families birthing in all settings including hospital, home & birth centers. I respect the many choices in mothering and parenting. It's an honor to walk the path of mothering with women as they navigate the many options we have today. I strongly believe in the woman's ability to grow, birth and nourish her baby with her natural, innate abilities while also respecting the need or preference of medical support along the way. It's all about the balance of holistic & medical. My journey supporting women and families began in 2000. After birthing with midwives, I decided to develop a working relationship at the birth center where my children were born. At this free-standing birth center, I served on the board of directors and led support groups for the expectant families and breastfeeding moms. In 2012, my career as a doula took off as I volunteered my services for many families in my hometown, Washington, DC. In 2015, my family relocated and I began serving a diverse population throughout New York and New Jersey where I’m currently practicing, along with a team of equally skilled perinatal professionals. On my spare time I enjoy relaxing on the Jersey Shore beaches, traveling internationally, cooking, dancing, spending time in nature, and enjoying quality time with my teenage and young adult children. I spent a couple of years living abroad and off the beaten path with my children and their dad. It was the most rewarding life experience to date. I plans to serve as a birthworker internationally, as well, so that I can merge my love for international travel and serving mothers.
