Tapestry Birth - Doulas in Jersey City, Hoboken and surrounding areas

Even the Uber Eats robots are still sleeping when I head home from work. 😂🤖💤

But what exactly have I been doing all night?

Yes, one of my jobs as an overnight postpartum doula is caring for your baby so you can get some much-needed sleep.

But it’s also SO much more than that.

🤱 As a lactation counselor, I can help with latch and positioning, troubleshoot feeding challenges, support pumping when the time is right, and help figure out when something needs a referral.

👶 I teach newborn care — bathing, swaddling, diapering, paced bottle feeding, taking a temperature, trimming those impossibly tiny fingernails — and reassure you about all those completely normal newborn things that can seem alarming at 2 a.m.

❤️ I take care of Mom, too. That might mean making sure she eats and drinks, stays on top of medications, gets a hot shower or sitz bath, and — most importantly — gets REST while her body recovers from pregnancy and birth.

🍼 I wash and sterilize bottles and pump parts, organize the nursery and feeding supplies, and help create systems that make life with a newborn a little easier.

💡 And after 15 years of working with new families, I have LOTS of tricks up my sleeve — from the swaddle that can contain your tiny Houdini to wearable pumps, baby carriers and all the little products and solutions that can make a surprisingly big difference.

But maybe the most important part of my job?

Teaching parents to do all of this without me.

Because eventually Grandma goes home. Your partner goes back to work. You want to leave the house with the baby without packing like you’re crossing the Atlantic. And one day, I work my last overnight.

My goal isn’t for you to need me forever.

It’s for you to get some sleep, recover, learn your baby, and become confident enough to say:

“We’ve got this.” ❤️

And then I head home…apparently before the robots wake up. 😂

Some days it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day work and forget how many people are working behind the scenes to improve outcomes for mothers and babies.

Yesterday was a wonderful reminder.

I had the opportunity to attend the annual meeting of the Partnership for Maternal and Child Health of Northern NJ and spend time with people who are deeply committed to advancing maternal health across our state. The conversations were thoughtful, the stories were powerful, and the passion in the room was undeniable.

I left feeling inspired, recharged, and proud to be part of a community working toward healthier beginnings for every family.

Back at one of my favorite places earlier this week 🤍

Not too long ago, North Jersey had zero birth center options. Now families have real choices—offering a beautiful middle ground between hospital and home birth. More options mean more autonomy, more informed decisions, and more opportunities for families to have the kind of birth experience that is right for them.

✨ If you’ve had a birth center birth, share your experience below—I’d love to hear it.
✨ Curious about local options? Comment or message me anytime.

This photo popped up in my memories today.

My phenomenal doula sisters from the Hudson Perinatal community doula program — and yes, that’s me in the photo, breastfeeding my third son. He was our little class mascot… and our official breastfeeding and babywearing model.

I left my corporate career after I had him, completed the community doula fellowship and haven’t looked back. Being a doula has filled me in ways I didn’t even know I needed. Every day, I witness new life… not just in the babies being born, but in the women becoming mothers — powerful, vulnerable, transformed.

It’s sacred. It’s beautiful. It’s raw. Sometimes it’s brutal. And it is always, always an honor to be invited into that space.
