I have 4 grown children, I was a sign language interpreter many years ago, and worked in a local church for 20 years.

I have been so blessed to have jobs I have loved all my life - wife, mother, grandmother, registered nurse, pregnancy care center director, lactation consultant and certified postpartum doula. It is hard to believe it has been over 48 years since nursing school. Though I would never have thought so in nursing school, my focus has always been all things moms, babies and families. ​This journey has taken me from basic knowledge of how babies are born to a deep respect of the profound changes that take place within the childbearing family, because we are so fearfully and wonderfully made.

My passion for caregiving and holistic well-being runs deep within my soul. From a young age, I have always been drawn to helping others and making a positive impact on their lives. This drive led me to pursue this career, where I have found my true calling in aiding families during their most vulnerable moments. I approach caregiving with a holistic mindset, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By integrating traditional practices with alternative therapies, I strive to provide comprehensive and personalized care that addresses all aspects of one's health. My work is not just a job, but a calling that fills my heart with purpose and fulfillment. Building meaningful relationships with parents and their families, offering comfort and support during times of uncertainty and distress, brings me immeasurable joy and satisfaction.

Liz is an Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) trained body worker who has over 10 years of experience working with newborns and their families. Her unique perspective on family centered care comes from a compilation of knowledge that she gained by working in a Level III NICU, as a postpartum doula, as a lactation consultant and a body worker. Her philosophy is that every family should feel they are thriving, not just surviving, the adjustment to adding a new baby to the family. While a lot of her time is focused on the first three months after delivery, her support can span years as the family unit is ever evolving. Her specialties include oral function, assessment for oral restriction (aka lip/tongue ties), tension release with CFT, post NICU graduates, multiples, and medically complex infants. The most important factors that drive the care you will receive from Liz are 1) what are you goals as a family and 2) what is the root cause of any struggle you are experiencing. There will be no band-aid fixes provided and nothing short of comprehensive care provided. It would be an honor to be included in your postpartum journey!

I am a compassionate and dedicated full-spectrum Doula, with a specialized focus on postpartum care, now residing in New Jersey after relocating from the bustling streets of New York City. My journey into the world of birth work began several years ago, driven by a deep-seated passion for supporting families during one of the most transformative periods of their lives. My certification as a full-spectrum Doula has enabled me to accompany and assist families through all stages of the birthing process, offering emotional, physical, and informational support tailored to their unique needs and preferences. My specialty lies in postpartum Doula care, where I have obtained additional certification to better serve families during the critical weeks and months following childbirth. In this role, I focus on nurturing the new mother, facilitating bonding between the newborn and family members, and providing evidence-based guidance on everything from feeding and sleeping patterns to postnatal recovery. My approach is holistic, recognizing the immense physical and emotional transitions that occur postpartum and offering a supportive, non-judgmental presence to ease this period of adjustment. Further enriching my skillset, I am certified in Pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid, ensuring the utmost safety and preparedness in all situations. This certification underscores my commitment to the well-being of infants and children, providing parents and caregivers with peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are in capable hands. In addition to my Doula certifications, I am also a trained prenatal community healthcare worker. This role has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare system and the specific challenges faced by pregnant individuals, enabling me to advocate effectively for my clients' health and well-being. My work in this area has been deeply influenced by my time in New York City, where I gained invaluable experience navigating diverse communities and addressing a wide range of healthcare needs. Now based in New Jersey, I am excited to bring my wealth of experience and passion for birth work to serve the families in my new community. My move has been motivated by a desire to expand my reach and continue making a positive impact on the lives of parents and their newborns. Whether through birth support, postpartum care, or health advocacy, my goal remains unwavering: to empower families with knowledge, support, and compassion every step of the way.

I am constantly motivated to be the best version of myself every day. I enjoy learning and enjoy serving. I love spending time with family and friends. I hope that with my professional attitude, welcoming demeanor, and love of serving, I will be able to support, care, and help countless expectant families.

Bringing a baby into your life can be a beautiful yet, overwhelming experience. I've been a doula for 11 years and counting, so I've been doing this long enough to know that every family is different. Because of that, I like to get to know the families I work with so that I can support them in a way that is specific to their individual needs. I do not make the decisions for parents or tell them what to do, I empower them to have the confidence in their own parental decisions with evidenced based information, care and empathy. On top of being a doula, I'm a Childbirth educator, Certified Lactation Counselor, Nutritionist, Holistic Health Coach, Certified Sports Nutrition Coach, and Personal Trainer with specialties in pelvic floor, core health, prenatal and postpartum fitness. I bring all of my skills to families to support them in the way that is specific to their needs.

I am a certified doula with ten years of experience in supporting and empowering families through their journeys. My passion for this work began with babysitting in my community, which then led to my role as an infant daycare teacher and eventually to becoming an overnight caregiver for new families. It has been an honor and privilege to be trusted by families during such a pivotal time in their lives. Creating lasting memories, empowering women, and providing comprehensive support are central to my approach. I am deeply committed to making a positive impact with the families I support, offering them care, guidance, and a safe space for communication. I look forward to supporting you!
