About
Hi there, I’m Kerry.
As the woman behind At Peace Birth and Wellness LLC, and a mother of two, I understand the unique journeys of both birth and wellness. These multi-dimensional experiences can hold so much joy and excitement, but also anxiety and fear. Being able to provide support in both the blissful and the more challenging moments, with compassion and understanding, allows space for you to experience relaxation and inner peace. At Peace Birth and Wellness is a collection of support and services in the areas of therapy, birth, and wellness.
How My Journey Started
My own birth experience was extremely transformative- a simultaneously beautiful and challenging journey, wrapped in both excitement and fear of the unknown. Recognizing the complexity of such a profound life experience, I wanted to be there for other woman and couples, and decided to pursue my doula certification.
Specialized Areas
Being able to hold space for individuals experiencing some of life’s most challenging circumstances has always been a priority in my life. As a massage therapist, I completed extensive training in providing care for individuals with life-altering illnesses or in hospice care. In my birth and wellness work, I have supported people through stillbirth labor and delivery, as well as conception challenges and secondary infertility. I have my own history of infertility and first hand know just how delicate pregnancy can be.
Kerry is a DONA Certified Birth Doula, Lamaze taught Childbirth Educator, NJ Licensed Massage Therapist and Infant USA Certified Infant Massage Instructor.
I'm here to help you return to relaxation and feel At Peace.

Camille Perhacs-Monticello
To Camille, there is no better joy in life than sharing space with a family as they bring their newest family members in to the world. During Camille’s first postpartum experience, she realized first hand just how much mothers are disregarded in our society. As she delved deeper into the problems we have as a society in parenthood as a whole, she knew that she wanted to have a hand in helping mothers to have beautiful starts to their journey, and to help them to find the joy in becoming a parent.
Becoming a parent is one of the greatest joys in life - but unfortunately so much of that can be taken away from poor care during pregnancy by your support team. Allowing families to take power back within their births is her number one goal in being a doula. Whether going unmedicated, or medicated, wanting to try for a VBAC, or deciding on a repeat Cesarean, she is here to support your choices. She always ensures that along with the choices you are making that you feel well informed that you understand the benefits or disadvantages of each option you have.
She always makes sure to offer her clients all of her best knowledge on medical interventions and all of the different options that are available during childbirth. Certified through DONA international since 2022, her education never stops. Learning more with every birth she attends, as well as staying on top of what’s new in the birth world is paramount to her. Camille also finds joy in educating families on just how normal childbirth is, and giving them confidence to meet their baby.
Her job as a doula is to allow you to be in full power of your pregnancy and delivery. Whatever that means to you, Camille wants you to hold your baby and feel joy in how they came into this world. After all, to her birth doesn’t have to be so serious, we can make it a time of joy despite the fact that it’s hard work we’re doing.
