In giving birth to our babies, we may find that we give birth to new possibilities within ourselves.

Me and my daughter at almost 3 weeks

Welcome! I’m April, a birth and postpartum doula based in Jersey City, NJ.

Having a baby is a transformative and powerful experience. I am in awe that it is both ordinary and extraordinary. As your companion, I bear witness to your truth and strength no matter what your childbearing journey may look like, and offer a calm, uplifting presence throughout our time together. Using both an evidence-informed and holistic approach, I support you in connecting with your body and intuition to prepare physically and emotionally for labor, and offer educational guidance so that you understand your options and have confidence in making decisions that are best for you and your family.

 
My wife and I are not sure how we would have made it through labor and delivery without her - I guess it would have happened, but April made the experience much more comfortable physically and emotionally. She has a beautifully strong, calming, positive presence, and I am forever grateful that she was by our side through delivery.
