  • Highly recommend and can see why Mijanou is such a highly requested doula! Our time with her was stellar. In addition to the typical doula stuff, Mijanou is also a great companion, storyteller and overall really helped us make the transition to parenthood by helping us to tell our own stories and supporting during such a crazy time!

  • This being our first child, we wanted to make sure that we had good support throughout the pregnancy process. We interviewed with several potential doulas from multiple services and were drawn to Mijanou who gave us immediately helpful information and was extremely present with us from the beginning. We had several very productive phone calls from the beginning and clicked immediately with Mijanou. She was incredibly personable and helpful, and we felt that we were going to be well taken care of due to the amount of personal time and care she gave us. She followed up with us to make sure we were well taken care of and knew what was happening with the entire process. Mijanou met with us several times before the birth and was available night or day in order to answer our questions. My wife was dealing with intense back pain and Mijanou went above and beyond to schedule additional virtual calls in order to guide us through massage sessions that eased my wife’s severe pain. It felt like we had a loyal partner to help us through this sometimes traumatic process. In the day of, Mijanou was in constant contact with us and helped us push and deliver a beautiful baby girl. I felt that without her help the overall process would have been much more difficult and harder to manage. Her assistance throughout the whole process has been absolutely invaluable. Post birth her continued presence gives us confidence that we can get through this uncertain time. I would heartily recommend Mijanou for doula and birth services. It was a life saver for us!!!!

  • From the moment I met Mimi, she felt less like a healthcare provider and more like a trusted friend who happened to be incredibly knowledgeable about childbirth. My pregnancy journey was a rollercoaster, and I had to be induced early, which initially made me anxious and apprehensive. However, Mimi's presence and expertise immediately put me at ease. Mimi created a warm and inviting environment, ensuring that my birthing experience felt like a beautiful and empowering journey rather than a medical procedure. She was there every step of the way, offering support, guidance, and reassurance when I needed it most. Her calming presence and genuine care for my well-being made all the difference. What sets Mimi apart is her extensive knowledge of childbirth. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and her expertise was evident in the choices and decisions we made together throughout the process. I felt well-informed and in control, which was incredibly empowering. As I reflect on my birthing experience, I can't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for Mimi. She was not only a doula but a true friend who stood by my side during a pivotal moment in my life. Thanks to her, I emerged from the experience feeling empowered and powerful, with a newfound confidence in my ability to navigate motherhood. If you're looking for a doula who will make your birthing experience special, who will treat you like family, and who possesses a wealth of knowledge on childbirth, look no further than Mimi. She's a true gem, and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, Mimi, for being there for me and making my journey into motherhood truly unforgettable. You are a blessing! 💖🌟

  • I am a transplant to New Jersey and without a support system here I was apprehensive to birth my first child without support. I found this support from an all woman, all brown service. There is just something so important to be with someone like family that can understand your cultural needs in a time of extreme vulnerability. I first met with Lorraine the owner via video call. During our call it felt we were in alignment and she introduced me to Mimi, who I will forever call the guardian of my birth and of my daughter. Our first call was just before the Christmas holiday when I was 33 weeks pregnant. Somewhat late to start with a doula. We met in person the first week of the new year and from the very beginning she felt like family. Mimi gave us a crash course in pregnancy, birth, labor stages, and what to expect in the hospital. Luckily we got these meetings in because I delivered at 38 weeks. My water broke in the middle of the night. The plan was to labor at home until I was 4/1/1. Well I went earlier and was still in the early stages of labor when Mimi was finally able to meet us at the hospital. See, Valley tried to prevent her from coming upstairs due to an unclear rule about COVID booster shots. I thought that perhaps it wasn’t meant to be, me having a doula. But, Mimi, my child’s guardian fought and persevered like the warrior doula she is and made it happen. She showed up for early labor, above what we discussed and guided me through about 15 hours of labor and helped me stick to my birth plan of no epidural and no drugs. Mimi guided me to bring my daughter into this world with strength and love. For that I will be eternal grateful.

  • Super fast and responsive !! My two week old son wouldn’t latch and I needed help ASAP !! Mijanou is the Doula/lactation consultant that came in .she was wonderful with my baby. Super helpful to me and my husband had a very calming spirit was so patient definitely saw improvement before our time was up. Extremely accessible via text didn’t just leave without follow up which I loved . I had her to come the next day for Doula services definitely worth it.

  • As first time parents, we are so glad we hired Mijanou to help us navigate the birthing experience. We had many questions and concerns and Mijanou was informative and reassuring, empowering us to make our own decisions. Even though our birthing experience did not go as planned, having Mijanou present helped calm us all down. I had to deliver 5 weeks early and Mijanou was able to jump in to talk us through what was happening and what our options were. She gave me massages and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. She helped my husband feel less anxious and alone while the nurses and doctors tended to me. Not only that but when she arrived, she turned our room into a calming spa with scent and lighting. After the birth, she helped us process the experience and it brought my husband and I closer to each other. Giving birth is such an intimate experience and we weren't sure about sharing it with a stranger. However, after what we went through, we cannot imagine not having Mijanou with us. She was our trusted guide and coach in a very difficult and unpredictable situation. We cannot recommend her enough!
