Hey there! My name is Marissa, I’m a DONA Certified Birth Doula and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator based in Morris County, NJ! Just just minutes away from Our Birthing Center, Morristown Medical Center, and Overlook Medical. I’m a mom of two amazing children, and after my experiences trying-to-conceive and giving birth to my first child, I felt an incredible pull to birth work. Helping people learn about all their options in birth and how to feel empowered in their decisions are some of my greatest passions! I work with parents throughout their journeys, from trying-to-conceive all the way to postpartum! I also work with many parents pregnant after loss - a different and nuanced experience in many ways (one I have experienced myself). I am so so thrilled to meet local parents building their families, and the babies you’ll be welcoming into your lives!

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.

Jaymie is a proud mother of two. After having a VBAC with a doula she decided that a doula was instrumental in having her voice heard during the time of birth. She knew that empowering women during their pregnancy and allowing them to find their voice was something that she was passionate about. Helping families find the calm within using mindfulness, meditation and breath work is only some of the techniques used to manage labor. Going through and utilizing spinning babies and the rebozo are helpful tools in the birthing space. Whether clients want a natural unmediated birth, or the use of an epidural I am happy to help you get the birth you desire and support you through your decision making process. Always remember… your birth… your choice… your voice! It is an honor and a privilege to be part of your birth team. Jaymie would love to set up some to talk and see if you are a good fit:)

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.

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.
