Jaiyla Robinson
Birth is not a medical event. It’s a threshold. I’m Jaiyla, a Full Spectrum Birth doula, certified Reiki practitioner, and founder of DoulaISH and enForme Reiki Studio. I built DoulaISH for the birthing parent who has been pushed to the background of their own story: the one carrying the baby, the questions, the fear, and the hope all at once. Someone should be asking how you are doing, consistently and intentionally, without switching the subject to the baby. Through education, advocacy, physical body movement, and Womb & Sacral Reiki, I help you feel prepared, grounded, and genuinely cared for. Support moves with you through every phase: Health in the first trimester, Strength in the second, Release in the third, and Ease in the fourth trimester, so your transition into parenthood feels as easeful as possible. Before birthwork, I was a Creative Producer and Project Manager in advertising, media, and experiential. In other words, I get ish done. That background makes my practice as intentional in its execution as it is in its heart. Care is personalized, evidence-based, and inclusive. Doula*ISH is proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming, and every family is welcome here. Now welcoming founding clients with limited spots at launch rates.
Amanda Souza
Hello! I’m a DONA trained birth and postpartum doula in Rochester NY
Meredith Martinez
I am a certified birth doula and certified lactation counselor located in midtown Manhattan. I support births in hospitals, birth centers and homes. I am a Hypnobabies Doula, trained in Rebozo, Dancing for Birth, Comforting Touch and more. I am here to support you in being prepared, informed and loved during the time before, during and after you welcome your baby earthside.
Brittney Kildare
In 2009, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Dance Performance from Oakland University and a Master’s degree in Dance Education from New York University in 2017. In my coursework for both degrees, the study of human anatomy was imperative. I believe that labor positions are to labor what choreography is to dance; allowing your body to push through discomfort and rhythmically guide baby through the birth canal. I am passionate about the health and safety of Mamas and their babies, believing that being informed can help save lives. As your birth doula, my highest priority is to help you have a safe labor and delivery. I provide emotional and physical support, and thoughtful guidance during labor and delivery to you and your partner (if applicable) to make informed decisions and efficiently communicate with your chosen care providers. As your placenta encapsulator, my goal is to help you with postpartum healing. Recovering from birth and taking care of a newborn can take a tole on you mentally and physically. I believe our placentas were made for taking care of baby until earth side and helping us to recover after. Consuming your placenta has so many benefits!
