HELPING YOU CONFIDENTLY NAVIGATE THE FIRST 12 WEEKS AT HOME AND BEYOND

Pregnancy is a beautiful time - and most soon-to-be parents generally have a birth plan, but are rarely able to imagine what life will be like with their new baby at home, whether it’s their first pregnancy or tenth.

 

As a  postpartum doula, I provide the non-judgmental and compassionate support parents of newborns desire and deserve, making sure the whole family is empowered.

Jennifer Tawil

Jennifer’s passion for working as a postpartum doula is fueled by the incredible experience she had with her own doula when her son was six weeks old while living in New York City.  She was struggling with breastfeeding, feeling anxious and alone, and her doula was able to melt it all away.  She even made her a quiche!


It is Jennifer's desire to give back the comfort and love she received from her doula to every one of her clients through her #compassioninaction method.


Before becoming a postpartum doula, Jennifer spent eight years helping the residents of the New York 95th Assembly District resolve a host of issues that affected their daily life. This role uniquely prepared her for doula work as she honed in on her ability to be a patient and empathetic listener.  When her position with the New York State Assembly ended, she knew she could put her compassion into action through doula work. 


Jennifer has also developed her compassionate abilities as a mother to two children with various special needs for over twenty years.


She was trained and certified as a Postpartum and Infant Care Doula in 2022 and has been recertified in Infant, Child and Adult First Aid and CPR in 2024.

Client Love

Jen is knowledgeable, non-judgmental and so easy to be around. She supported our family during the transition of bringing home our second child and we are just so happy to have had her. She did so much to help, including soothing baby, prepping meals, and entertaining toddler while mom and baby were resting. Jen is a great doula and a wonderful person!

- Mom of 2, Pleasantville, NY

I was Jennifer's client for ten weeks starting when my son was three weeks old, and once I went back to work she returned to help my husband two days a week during his parental leave.
We love Jennifer! She's personable, empathetic, and no-nonsense - a natural doula. My husband and I were both pretty clueless about infant care when our son was born, and Jenn was an unflagging source of moral and practical support. She put the baby down for countless naps, cooked meals, organized baby stuff, did laundry, offered helpful tips and recommendations, etc. Before I was even officially her client, she put me in touch with a wonderful lactation consultant when I developed mastitis. Without their help, I think I would have given up on breastfeeding a long time ago (my son is now a nursing champ).
Being able to relax and enjoy these first few months with my baby has meant the world to me. If we ever have another, I'm letting her know the MINUTE we find out the due date to make sure we get on her schedule!

Jennifer was incredible and I can't imagine not having her postpartum. She was supportive, cooked delicious meals, shared expertise on nursing and childcare, and generally just made sure we were taken care of. Couldn't recommend her more

— First-time Mom, Chappaqua, NY

Jennifer was amazing, she really helped us out tremendously postpartum. She has such a calming nature and is very easy to talk to. She helped me with some breastfeeding tips that made the transition to breastfeeding easier. I still reach out to her with questions and she is still willing to help. I am so grateful for her. Highly recommend

— Mom of 2, Yonkers, NY

Having Jenn as our postpartum doula was an absolute must. Truthfully I initially didn’t think I would need the extra support but as my due date quickly approached I realized that that’s what I would need THE MOST, and I’m so grateful to have had Jenn provide that support. From giving me peace of mind to taking naps, making sure the fridge was stocked with snacks or a meal by the time she left her shift, to just talking to me about whatever emotional rollercoaster I was on for that day. Jenn as our postpartum doula was the best investment we could have made!

— First-time Mom, Carmel, NY

The best thing about Jennifer is how she made my family feel. We trusted her care of our little one, felt confident that she was doing the right thing, and appreciated the advice and warmth she showed us when we were together. I am SO lucky to have found her and am very glad to have had her as my doula.

—First-time Mom (through surrogacy), Mamaroneck, NY
