The Doula Access Bill has passes unanimously in New Jersey. Every person birthing in NJ has the right to have a doula of their choice. Hospitals cannot require certification or block access to doulas. Huge win for parents in NJ!

The doula access bill has now unanimously passed both the Senate and the Assembly! Soon, every New Jersey mother will have the right to a doula in a hospital or birth center.

Ensuring the legal right to a doula is a big deal and wouldn't be possible without legislative champions M. Teresa Ruiz, Nellie Pou, Senator Burgess, Senator Joe Vitale, Assemblywoman Shanique Speight, Shavonda E. Sumter, Annette Quijano, Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, Assemblyman Herb Conaway, MD, Senate President Nick Scutari and Speaker Craig J. Coughlin.

I am grateful for our dedicated team and our partners New Jersey Doula Learning Collaborative, Community Doulas of South Jersey, The Children's Home Society of New Jersey and more. To the New Jersey doula community who have been tireless advocates for mothers both in and out of the delivery room, THANK YOU!

I definitely went outside my comfort zone to participate in Liz Magic Laser's incredible project "Convulsive States". Liz asked me to shake, rattle, and roll to demonstrate moves that can help move a labor along and adjust the baby's position. Our final day of this art installation was leading people through some of these moves. Photos by Walter Wlodarczyk courtesy of Pioneer Works

Another amazing organization to support on Giving Tuesday. Our own Martine and Karen, homebirth midwives of NYC, are the directors and we can trust them to make great use of our support.

Bumi Sehat is receiving matching donations on giving Tuesday. Please consider supporting this incredible organization providing maternity care and medical care in disaster areas. I know their work personally for over 25 years and can vouch that they are an incredible organization that put every penny to good use.

Lombok, next to Bali, has had serious setbacks in recent years. First a devastating earthquake in 2018, then COVID-19 and the loss of tourism has left the local economy devastated and thousands without homes. People can't afford food, basic goods or healthcare. Many are still living in tents, even 3...

The United States is one of the most difficult countries to raise a family from professional parents and one of only two nations in the world that does not guarantee paid family leave when a child is born.
Was your company supportive when you had a child?

Their experiences couldn’t be more different.
