JULIET ANTELMI (CD:DONA) is a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, CLC (Certified Lactation Counselor), Certified Havening Technique Practitioner, Birth Assistant to practicing Home Birth Midwives, CPR Certified, All inclusive Yoga Instructor, Reiki Practitioner, and a practicing yogini meditator for over 20 years. Serving the lower Hudson Valley, Westchester county and NYC area. In addition to her private clients, she also serves women through Healthy Women Healthy Future in the New York Area (A New York City Dept. of Health Sponsored Initiative).

Juliet earned a degree in Hospitality Management. She also has a Montessori Early Childhood Education degree, she taught at Hudson Montessori prior to having her family.

Juliet was born in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, West Indies, a beautiful Island in the Caribbean. This is where her approach and philosophy to birth, family, life and living was influenced. This makes her embracing and sensitive to all cultures in her approach to birth. In all those years, never once has her passion waived for being a Lightworker in serving humanity across many spectrums. Juliet was very much active in attending to friends and family members before, during and after birth while living in Jamaica where labor and birth were considered normal.

Juliet’s philosophies and beliefs about pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, birth and after birth are also based on her personal experiences in birthing her 3 children. She believes motherhood starts before conception, through a conscious or subconscious connection between mother and spirit baby.

Juliet strives to make every birth an empowering experience, holding the space for Mom to have the birth of her choice. She supports evidence-based birth along with women who have a different approach to birthing, as being culturally, spiritually, or intuitively listening in and tapping into the energy of the sages of their ancestors. She supports birth whether at home, in birthing centers, or within a hospital setting. Juliet lives in Westchester with her husband and 3 children.

JACQUI FEINSTIX is an Ulster County based birth doula, childbirth educator, lactation counselor, and prenatal yoga teacher servicing Westchester and Ulster county parents.

While completing her yoga teacher training in 2012, Jacqui was drawn to the magical energy of pregnant yogis and was inspired to pursue prenatal yoga. She found her true calling to support people during their journey to parenthood and the universe opened its doors.

She empowers birthing people with the information their minds need, the movement and breath their bodies crave, and her protective energy and big heart. She believes that there is no one right way to birth, that each experience is unique and special.

If Jacqui is not supporting a birth, teaching a yoga class, or guiding a hands on childbirth education class, you will find her hosting her bimonthly new parent’s feeding circle (Nurture Café) and monthly women’s gathering (Kula Luna) to help foster a beautiful sense of community.

Jacqui is a baby-wearing, cloth-diapering, magical mom, who she lives in New Paltz with her wife Katie, young son Zander, and a rescue dog named “Zeppelin” (yes, after Led Zeppelin!). Jacqui has a “whole lotta love” to give.

Classes in Hawthorne and Irvington, New York
marianne101366@yahoo.com

MARIANNE LETIZIA has been teaching yoga for six years, including various Hatha styles as well as pre-and post-natal yoga. She studied pre- and post-natal yoga with Colette Crawford in Seattle, Washington, and has been teaching those classes in New York City and at Yoga Works in Irvington, NY. In prenatal yoga, the pregnant woman uses yoga postures and breathing exercises to gain strength and flexibility for the birth, improve circulation and oxygen intake for both mom and baby, and to relax the body and mind for the duration of the pregnancy.

In post-natal yoga, the new mom learns to interact with her child while doing the yoga poses, use the yoga postures and breathing exercises to strengthen abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, as well as release shoulder and neck muscles. Songs and gentle play are used throughout the class to capture the attention of the child. In October 2007, Marianne started teaching pre-natal and hatha yoga classes in Hawthorne, NY. Please call or email to inquire about classes.

She has been serving the online community with a rapidly growing following on social media of over 69,000 women and the professionals who serve them, around the world.

Through her online childbirth course 'Love Your Birth', her online and in-person midwifery for pregnancy and postpartum support consultations, her birth professional mentoring, her holistic gynecology and traveling homebirth midwifery offerings she infuses wisdom, compassion, inspiration, and joy into the entire process of women’s wellness from mama-hood to menopause. 

Anne’s work, insights and advice have been seen on TV shows and movies including 4 episodes of “A Baby Story” on TLC and the Discovery Channel, and the award winning feature documentary, 'Orgasmic Birth.' She has been interviewed for local and national radio programs and podcasts. Anne has also been a featured speaker and expert panelist at distinguished events for Weil-Cornell School of Medicine, the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, and the RCC State University of New York School of Nursing to name a few.

She has midwifed mommas and babies for over two decades, with clients describing her as “passionate, sensitive, big hearted, and a playful ball of light.” When she’s not helping mommas around the world you can find her doing yoga (anywhere and everywhere), dancing, traveling, enjoying family time and watching comedy.

Anne helps mommas create and live in their joy, find their authentic voice, and their divine feminine power and strength as women. She preserves the sacred space so that a women's body can do what it needs to do to fully surrender to the process, and still be completely empowered and worshipped like a goddess during her birth. When Anne helps a woman with her pregnancy, birth, or with postpartum, she has been told that it changes the mom’s life and her baby’s life forever. It becomes a family experience that ripples out to impact everyone and it enhances the lives and relationships of all whom they touch. Anne is so thrilled that after over twenty years of working with her local community she is now able to support mommas to have incredible journeys to birth and mama-hood, no matter where they live or what their plans are. Anne feels the more we can share information and create environments for empowered births and living, the more healthy, happy and vibrant families can be.

I am a mom, grandmother, birth and postpartum doula, prenatal yoga instructor and certified lactation counselor located in Northern Westchester County. My passion is supporting birthing families throughout pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood. In addition to creating strength, flexibility and stamina, prenatal yoga can build an understanding of the relaxation and breathing techniques that can help ease the common discomforts of pregnancy, labor and birth. I understand that birth is a powerful, natural process unique to each person/birth, and that people benefit from nurturing support during pregnancy and labor. As a CLC who has nursed four babies, I have firsthand knowledge of human lactation and the nutritional needs of infants and nursing humans as well as the skills to understand and formulate potential solutions for feeding issues.
