Read About Childbirth & Doula Experience 

“I’m not sure where to begin with how amazing it was having Alex as our doula! I interviewed multiple doulas when my husband and I decided having a support person for our birth was what we wanted. I instantly felt a connection to Alex that I didn’t have with anyone else. She was so warm and energetic and you could tell she was so dedicated to helping you figure out what you wanted in a birth and then helping you bring that vision to life. I was terrified I was going to abort my birth plan in the height of labor intensity, but Alex was such a reassuring presence and a cheerleader of support. She helped me focus on what she knew was important to me even when I was at my breaking point. In the end, I had the most amazing birth I could have ever asked for and every part of my birth plan played out as I had hoped for. The energy in the room was so happy and strong. We blasted a playlist and Alex helped my husband support me and she helped carry him through this crazy experience as well! We owe the success of our positive birthing experience in large part to Alex! We are so grateful we had her by our side! Would recommend her services to anyone considering hiring a doula and we hope she’s available if and when we decide to do this crazy thing again!” - Jessica Lehmann


"I contacted Alex early on in my pregnancy. As a first time mom I had a lot of anxiety due to previous concerns and even after the first phone interview I felt calmer and more confident in my journey ahead. Alex stood by me through the whole pregnancy and birth. She helped talked me through appointments and helped me prepare for the birth that I wanted. She provided many many resources in addition to support with any questions or concern I had. I had a very long labor and she stayed by my side the whole time and helped guide me and my husband through it. Even when unplanned factors came into play she remained calm and helped us make the best decisions. And she even stayed after the birth of my daughter to make sure we were OK. There's so much that is thrown at you during a pregnancy and it's nice to have a person outside of the medical staff to lean on. And additionally it helps to have someone else in the room to delegate and converse with the labor and delivery staff so my husband and I could focus.
To this day we are still friends. And i plan to have Alex by our side for all future babies.” - Jenna Dantzler


"Working with Alex was such a terrific experience. There are two key things that made Alex a truly invaluable support system for my second pregnancy: first, she is incredibly empathetic and kind, immediately putting me at ease and providing a lot of reassurance. Second, she is a wealth of resources and information, always able to provide evidence based research on pregnancy, delivery and post partum care. I would absolutely recommend working with her as a doula and am so glad she was with me on this journey!” - Jess Lingel

“Working with Alex was such a gift through the end of my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This was my first child, and I had so much anxiety about the birth process going into it, but Alex was able to provide so much comfort and information, it made the whole process much more smooth and enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend her!” - Gina Cardillo

“Alex is the best! We met with her and a few other doulas before making our decision. She shared a lot of great information from the beginning even before I hired her, which was very helpful as a first time mom. Between that, her true desire for my labor and delivery to be what I wanted, and her awesome personality, it was a no brainer. We met twice before the big day and she helped us plan out how we wanted things to go (as much as you can plan) and helped us understand all of our options. She was readily available by phone and text with all my questions (mostly…am I in labor?! What do I do?!). Once we went to the hospital and they confirmed I was in fact in active labor, she made her way over and made the experience as pleasant as it could be. She helped me try different tactics and positions to ease labor pain and help baby descend. She helped me make decisions as I was faced with different options. While my labor and delivery didn’t turn out as planned, Alex was there every step of the way to help me process and understand my birth. Highly recommend! Oh! And she took pictures for us during the labor and after baby arrived!” - Lauren Vadala


"Alex is absolutely amazing!! My husband and I hired her as our birth doula and I was petrified about every aspect of the birth process. She helped me every step of the way and was empathetic, supportive, knowledgeable, kindhearted, comforting, and always there for me. She went above and beyond and I’m extremely grateful!” - Casey Young

“I decided later on in pregnancy to have Alex as my doula ! I had interviewed with a few others before deciding ehhh i probably won’t have one with this being my third birth. Then towards the end of my pregnancy, my husband and I went to a 3D/4D ultrasound and the tech actually recommended her. I reached out to her a few days later and we did a zoom call. Immediately, I knew I needed her. I never birthed in NJ before, my first two were in another state. My husband hates labor & it also scares and stresses him out to the max. She was 100% there for both us every step of the way. I could tell the difference in my husband with her being there. He was more relaxed this birth, even being the most challenging birth out of all three. She supported me through the last three months of my pregnancy and labor.. & Now, postpartum. She answered any questions I might have & yes I am that person who reads/researches/self educations on everything and she still guided me through things I needed a clear head space with. Even when it came back full circle, it made all the sense in why I chose her to be my doula! My labor was mentally so exhausting & it happened very fast. With lots of added stress & unknowns, Alex was able to help clear my head and talk me through it all. 10/10 recommend her to anyone anywhere !!” - Nicole Anderson

“Choosing to work with a doula for our first birth experience was easy. Choosing to work with Alex was the best decision we could have made, and I'm so glad that our paths crossed when they did.

During our initial consultation, Alex described her personality and support style as the "perfect mix of yoga and science" which absolutely hooked me. I was searching for someone who would communicate effectively, share information without being pushy or biased towards certain decisions, and would be able to support my husband so that he could in turn feel equipped to support me. Together, we want to share some of the highlights of working with Alex. These notes barely scratch the surface of her capabilities and giftings, but we hope it's helpful to anyone reading this review.

First, Alex was extremely helpful in answering any/all questions in the months leading up to labor and delivery. She provided evidence-based research in a timely manner to help us feel informed about what was happening to my body during my pregnancy. Upon arriving at the hospital, her calm but confident presence gave me and my husband peace about what was happening. Not only did she help to create a positive atmosphere (candles and a diffuser with oils), she seamlessly joined the birth team and was kind and respectful towards the hospital staff at all times, which aided in our relationship with the L&D nurses and doctors.

The pushing window of my labor lasted four hours, and Alex was present and encouraging to me for the entire time. She also supported my husband when he felt tired and worn out, which helped him to push through his fatigue to keep cheering me on. Finally, Alex helped us navigate conversations with doctors and nurses by keeping us informed, which heled us make the best decisions for our baby. This last point is what I would consider the most important reason for having Alex with us; ultimately, I wanted my husband and I to have the autonomy to make decisions about our birth and not be taken advantage of by a provider who had their own agenda. This was never the case, but Alex gave us the assurance that we always had options to consider and it was okay to ask questions before consenting to anything.

We have a beautiful birth story and a healthy baby, and we feel that Alex played a vital role in making that our reality. If you are looking to work with a doula, we would highly encourage you to connect with Alex and make her a part of your team. She is intelligent, passionate, family-centered and extremely gifted at what she does. We are so grateful to have had the chance to work with her this year, and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for doula support in the future.” - Jamie Hosan

“I decided to work with Alex after our first phone call. I realized that I was indeed right about that first impression later on. Alex has been positive, fun and responsive. She gave me the space to make my decisions and she provided resources and information as well. She was both flexible and caring. Alex joined me and my husband when I was in active labor at the hospital. It was nice to feel supported during pregnancy and delivery. What I shared with Alex, as my doula, felt like women solidarity and sisterhood at this wonderful, scary, incredible, strong and vulnerable time!” - Fusun Bali


“When Alex and I first talked on the phone, I felt like we clicked right away. She has a way about her where people just feel at ease and comfortable. This was very important to me when picking a doula because I needed to know I could be myself. Alex checked off this box and many more. She asks great questions to get a feel for where you are in your thought process and preferences. She is nonjudgmental. She is so easy to talk to and responds quickly. She is extremely knowledgeable and an amazing mother. You will be doing yourself a big favor having Alex there with you while your beautiful baby is born .” - Meg Fitzgerald


"Before my husband and I even started trying to get pregnant I had known the importance of having a doula during birth, what I couldn't have known was just how essential it would be in my specific birth. Quickly after chatting with Alex I knew that I wanted her to be my doula. Our viewpoints on care and birth aligned, she had a warm and caring energy, but she was also very down to earth. We had to navigate a lot of issues at the end of my pregnancy from a misdiagnosis to high blood pressure and Alex was there for us every step of the way. She listened and supported us while offering her insight from her own experiences. It was extremely helpful and comforting to have her to call.

My birth could not have been farther from what I had envisioned for myself. It lasted days and included medical interventions, but Alex was by my side the entire time - supporting me and my husband through one of the most challenging weekends we have faced. Her knowledge and community helped us in decisions we had not considered until that point. She hugged me as I struggled to accept that this was how my son was going to be born and held my hand as I had my most painful contractions. While there were many hardships that weekend, I will never forget how my husband and Alex supported me and tried to incorporate as much of our plans as we could. In the end we had our beautiful boy and a friendship with a wonderful doula I hope to have for years to come.” Carly Fryer

  • "Alex was my Doula during the birth of my son in March 2020. I honestly don't know how I would have got through that without her. That's Alex rubbing my back with a tennis ball in my labor photo. She was there the entire time coaching me through contractions, encouraging me with inspiring words, making sure I was breathing through all the pain and making sure I was as comfortable as I could be considering what I was going through. She helped keep my fiance calm and was my advocate when I had concerns about what the doctors were advising during certain times of my labor. She was one of my cheerleaders when I thought I was going to give up. Having Alex as my Doula was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I couldn't recommend her enough. Alex is patient, educated, kind, driven and the most passionate person when it comes to having a positive and beautiful birth experience for you and your baby. If you are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant, do yourself a favor and hire Alex as your Doula. You will not regret it! Love you Alex and thank you for being there every step of the way last pregnancy and this pregnancy.” - Rebecca R

  • "When I found out I was having my second baby, I knew that I was going to need a doula. Although he was not my first, I felt like a first time mom because of the five year difference and horrible past experiences. I didn’t know a thing about pregnancy or birth and I did everything I was told without asking why, regardless of how uncomfortable I may have been. After having a nightmarish 30 hour labor with my first, then an ectopic pregnancy that almost took my life 4 years later, I knew I needed help. And then I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum. I had a very tough pregnancy and I would not have gotten through it without Alex by my side. She helped me navigate the numerous appointments with my OBGYN and Maternal Fetal Medicine; all during a once in a lifetime global pandemic. Simple things like knowing what questions to ask the doctor made the difference for me. I knew that with everything going on I was going to have the birth experience I wanted and be ready if anything had to change. And things did changed, a lot. By the time labor came around, I felt ready and empowered to do what my body was designed to do. My husband also felt safe and encouraged throughout the pregnancy and labor (still to this day tells me to ask Alex what she thinks). I am so thankful she helped me bring my rainbow baby into the world and cannot recommend her services enough.” - Indiana C.

  • “Alex was our doula for our first pregnancy/child. We met with her when I was in my second trimester and knew right away that she would be our doula; we immediately felt comfortable, listened to and supported in what we wanted for our birth experience. The entire pregnancy she was an amazing support system. She checked in on us consistently, provided so much knowledge and resources and helped keep me at ease. I wanted to have as natural a birth as possible and without Alex I don’t think I would have had one. She steered me in the right directions for what I wanted and she was willing to learn about different methods of birthing to fit my wishes. Even though my pregnancy was during the pandemic, she was always available virtually and it didn’t end up making a big difference. When the big day came, thankfully the hospital did allow her to be there in the room with us. She and my husband helped keep me calm and focused on what I had learned through my research and birthing classes. She offered great suggestions during labor as well such as different positions to try and counter pressure massages. I truly believe I could not have done it without her. She was an excellent support for me but also for my husband. Since we wanted a natural birth in a hospital he was so glad to have someone else there to ensure our birth plan was respected. She also supported us postpartum and still does! We highly recommend Alex to anyone who would like to see their dream birth experience realized. Whenever we’re ready for our next baby we already know we want her to be a part of it.” - Kim Z
