Crown and Cradle Community Doula Services

Modern Birth Support Rooted in Power, Presence, and Purpose

Welcome to Crown and Cradle, where we honor every birthing experience with intention, dignity, and care. Serving families across New Jersey, New York, and Staten Island, we offer inclusive, full-spectrum doula support that centers your voice, your choices, and your story.

Whether you're navigating pregnancy, labor, postpartum healing, or IVF cycles, you deserve compassionate support and culturally affirming care. Let’s reclaim birth together - with presence, purpose, and power.

Meet Your Doula - Antionette Latrice

Antionette's passion for birth work is personal and political. She is driven by a calling to reclaim and uplift the legacies of Black birth workers - those whose wisdom, strength, and nurturing have often been erased from mainstream maternal care systems.

By centering these traditions and honoring the stories of marginalized birthing people, she aims to bring justice, equity, and empowerment back into the birth space.
