About Founder, NubiaJones
Nubia is a certified birth doula CD(DONA), postpartum doula, parent educator, certified breastfeeding counselor (CLC), an integrative nutrition health coach (IIN) and a student midwife. Most importantly, she is a mother of five children. Her journey supporting women and families began in 2000. After birthing with midwives, she decided to develop a working relationship at the birth center where her children were born. At this free-standing birth center, Nubia served on the board of directors and led support groups for the expectant families and breastfeeding moms. In 2012, Nubia’s career as a doula took off as she volunteered her services for many families in her hometown, Washington, DC. In 2015, her family relocated and she began serving a diverse population throughout New York and New Jersey where she is currently practicing, along with a team of equally skilled perinatal professionals.
​
On her spare time, Nubia enjoys traveling internationally, cooking, dancing, spending time in nature, and enjoying quality time with her teenage and young adult children. Nubia spent a couple of years living abroad and off the beaten path with her children and their dad. It was the most rewarding life experience to date. She plans to serve as a birthworker internationally, as well, so that she can merge her love for international travel and serving mothers.
