I'm thrilled to share a glimpse into the heart of what I do as your dedicated birth doula. My name is Tye and I'm the proud owner of Noels Nest 🤍🪺here to support you through every step of your miraculous journey into motherhood.

Picture this: a personalized 6-week journey leading up to the big day, tailored exclusively for you. Together, we dive into a treasure trove of knowledge, covering everything from breastfeeding tips to empowering birthing positions, and all the ins and outs of pregnancy. Because, let's be real, every journey is unique, and you deserve nothing less than a plan that's as individual as you are.

But it doesn't stop there! Crafting your birth plan is an art, and I'm here to help you paint the perfect picture. We'll work hand in hand to ensure your desires, hopes, and dreams for this incredible moment are not just heard, but honored.

And here's the cherry on top: I'm your on-call fairy doula, available leading up to the big day and during that precious first month postpartum. But guess what? Our connection doesn't fade once the journey officially ends. I believe in creating bonds that last a lifetime, so you can reach out to me anytime, long after our official service ends. Because to me, this journey isn't just about birth—it's about building a village of support that lasts a lifetime.

Now, let's talk perks! Hiring a birth doula isn't just about having someone by your side during labor (although, trust me, I'll be there with bells on!). It's about having a confidante, a cheerleader, and a guide who's been there, done that, and is ready to hold your hand through it all. With a doula by your side, you'll feel empowered, informed, and supported every step of the way. Plus, studies show that having a doula can lead to shorter labors, fewer interventions, and increased satisfaction with the birth experience. Now, who wouldn't want that?

So, to all the amazing mamas out there: You're not alone on this journey. I'm here to walk beside you, every step of the way. Let's create magic together. 💫

I thought Id share a cool, fun fact this morning! 🤍☀️Let's dive deeper into the ancient mysteries of pregnancy testing, Egyptian style! Did you know? Way back in the sands of time, wise women in ancient Egypt had a unique and incredibly accurate for the time, way of predicting pregnancy. They believed that by mixing women’s urine with grains of barley and wheat, then watching to see if those grains sprouted🌱they could uncover the secret of motherhood! It is believed this form of testing worked as the pregnant women's elevated levels of estrogen promoted seed growth. These methods were later tested by scientists and proven to be about 70% accurate!

These ancient mamas were literally playing farmer with urine and grains, 🌾 waiting for those little seeds to do their thing. If those grains decided to sprout, it was like Mother Nature herself was confirming that a bun was in the oven!

through the ages, wheat and barley were swapped out and for a period of time even rabbits 🐇 were used to determine pregnancy! (yeah, you heard me, rabbits!), until we finally landed on those trusty little p*e sticks we use today.

At Noel's Nest, we're all about embracing the journey from ancient wisdom to modern marvels. So whether you're p*eing on grains or p*eing on sticks, we're here to support you every step of the way 🤍🤰🏽✨

Here at Noel's Nest, we're dedicated to providing unwavering support to expectant mothers, particularly those in underserved communities who face disproportionate risks during pregnancy and childbirth. Allow me to shed some light on why having a doula by your side can make all the difference.
🤍Reduced risk of cesarean section: Studies have shown that having a doula present during childbirth can significantly decrease the likelihood of needing a cesarean section by up to 39%.

🤍Minimized use of pain medication: With a doula's support, mothers often find comfort in alternative pain management techniques, reducing their reliance on medication during labor.

🤍Lower rates of epidural use: Research indicates that women supported by doulas are less likely to request epidurals, empowering them to navigate their birthing experience with greater autonomy.

🤍Enhanced chances of successful breastfeeding: Doulas offer invaluable guidance and encouragement, which can lead to increased rates of successful breastfeeding initiation and continuation.

🤍Cultural competence and understanding: As a woman of color myself, I understand the unique challenges and cultural nuances that women from diverse backgrounds face during pregnancy and childbirth. At Noel's Nest, we provide culturally competent care tailored to each individual's needs.

🤍Emotional and physical support: Doulas offer continuous emotional and physical support throughout labor, creating a nurturing environment that promotes relaxation and confidence.

🤍Advocacy and empowerment: We empower mothers to voice their preferences and make informed decisions about their birthing experience, ensuring they feel respected and in control every step of the way.

🤍Partner involvement: Doulas not only support mothers but also involve partners in the birthing process, fostering a sense of teamwork and connection that strengthens the family bond.

🤍Postpartum assistance: Our support doesn't end with childbirth. We provide postpartum care and resources to help families transition smoothly into parenthood.

🤍Community outreach and education: Through workshops and outreach programs, we aim to educate and empower underserved communities, equipping them with the knowledge and resources needed to navigate pregnancy and childbirth safely.

By choosing Noel's Nest, you're not just investing in a doula service you're investing in a supportive community dedicated to promoting positive birth experiences and reducing disparities in maternal and fetal health. Join us on this journey towards healthier, happier families. 🤍✨

In deciding to become a doula, one of my main motivations for doing so came after learning how at risk both women and their infants are for death, and specifically black women and children. Black
Mothers and babies have the highest mortality rate amongst their p*ers, black women are 3-4x more likely to die during childbirth than their white counterparts and for various reasons including but not limited to, health care discrimination, general lack of resources and socioeconomic and geographic influences, and systemic racism.

To overstate how at risk black mothers are for death to have JUST ONE CHILD, I’ve made a short video to compare some high risk jobs to black mothers risk of death. And while there is a great deal of comic relief, there should be an understanding that the risk and reality is alarming

Doulas are a great way to decrease your risks of maternal death, as Doulas have been proven to decrease the need for medical interventions such as cesarean sections which In turn decrease the risk of complications associated with such interventions, like blood clots, cardiac arrest and infection.
Doulas based in their community are especially likely to improve health outcomes for mothers and infants by ensuring those at greatest risk for medical discrimination and mistreatment are met with the additional support they require. As fellow community members they better understand the needs of their clients and are better able to build a trusting relationship with them. Studies show that a strong doula/ client relationship rooted in trust and shared experience greatly increases a pregnant woman’s engagement in care, agency in decision-making, and overall improved health outcomes.

So while the numbers might seem scary they are very real and the risk is great amongst our community, but there are steps we can take to decrease our risks. Check out the video for some interesting facts, like and share if you learned something new today 🤍✨

Peace mama’s 🤍✨
Noel’s nest is excited to add a new doula 🤰🏽service to the list, PRENATAL MASSAGE 💆🏾‍♀️.
Prenatal massages are beneficial to both mom and baby and are a great way to practice self care. You can utilize prenatal massage as a way to relax and prepare your body for labor and or as a way to practice self care in your last few weeks of pregnancy when your body really craves relaxation and rest 😴

Massages can be booked as a one time experience or as a set of appointments, and are great to offer expecting moms as baby shower gifts or push presents (👀 looking at you here dads)

As always Noel’s nest still offers its general services which include, pregnancy loss counseling, breastfeeding counseling, childbirth education, for both individuals and groups, birth work and post partum services. ✨

Let’s talk about BREATH WORK 😮‍💨

I can not stress enough the benefits of focused and intentional breathing. This goes for any and everyone not just new and expecting moms.

As a doula I encourage and utilize breath work during pregnancy, especially during labor, and during the postpartum period. There isn’t a time
In your life as a mom where breath work won’t be beneficial.

Here are some reasons why breath work is extremely important specifically for soon to be moms

👩🏽‍🍼Empowerment through connection: each and every inhale and exhale invites you to connect with both your body and baby on a deeper level.

🌊 For the calm during the storm: The experience of labor can both thrilling and overwhelming. However breathing intentionally can create a calm oasis of sorts to help you navigate labor with moments of serenity.

🫁 Oxygenation: Undoubtedly your baby thrives on the oxygen you provide. Through intentional breath work you help ensure your baby receives part of the nourishment and support the need to develop and grow

💪🏽 Strength: Childbirth requires a great deal of strength and endurance, breath work will help you when the challenge presents itself.

😌Relaxation: Anxiety and Fear are common feelings when approaching labor, but will benefit mom or baby during the process. Good breath work will help you release tension and promote a more positive and relaxed environment for yourself and baby.

Remember to just breathe 🧘🏾‍♀️ 😮‍💨✨

Some good reviews from some great women I’ve had the pleasure of assisting 🤍✨🥰

Hey y’all 🥰🤍

I’m Tye-Noel I own and operate Noel’s Nest LLC a full spectrum doula service, through Noel’s Nest I offer
Birth work
Postpartum services
Childbirth education
Breastfeeding counseling
And
Pregnancy loss doula services

But let me tell you how and why Noel’s Nest came about 🤭

I gave birth to my daughter in Queens,Ny 🗽 In a healthcare facility I thought I would be most comfortable in, while the care I received from the nursing staff was above and beyond. My experience In total and interactions with the OB, quickly made me realize how quickly an experience that should be beautiful and unique can turn sour and can swiftly become life threatening for women of color. What impacted me most greatly was hearing another mom across the hall from me cry as she lost her child and I was waiting to give birth to mine. The nurse in me kept wondering what interventions could’ve been done to prevent such a tragedy, the woman and soon to be mother in me kept wondering who was comforting her, how she would get through it, and why this happened to us so frequently. Soon after I gave birth to my daughter I struggled to breastfeed, lacking the education I needed to understand that it wasn’t my body that was failing, my daughter had been tongue tied. A common occurrence that leads to many moms cutting their nursing journeys short early and unnecessarily. I would research for hours every night trying to figure out what was wrong how to fix it. I dealt with post partum anxiety and depression. Which lead me to more research, I did my best to educate myself on what I was dealing with. I began to realize how greatly these things effected my community and how little we knew and spoke about them. I realized how passionate I was about making sure other women wouldn’t experience the preventable things that come with pregnant/ labor and post partum. I realized how much I enjoyed watching these women successfully nurse their children, how greatly birth experiences were changed when a birth worker was involved.

My goal through Noel’s nest is to create a safe and welcoming space where every woman feels cherished, empowered, and deeply cared for. I overstand that the birthing experience is a profoundly personal and life-altering event, and I am more than happy and willing to ensure that you have the support you deserve every step of the way.

So that’s the just of it 🤭🤍

I’ll be posting content frequently relating to all kinds of topics encompassing birth/labor/post partum, breastfeeding and more. So stay tuned.
