WHOLE MOTHER VILLAGE
OUR STORY
A VILLAGE FOR EVERYONE
What began in West Orange as a brick-and-mortar space founded by Alice Tracy, alongside a collective of doulas and dedicated professionals, was rooted in a shared vision of community care, education, and holistic support for families. That vision continues today under Sarah Numan, who now proudly owns and runs the practice from a private space in Summit.
Guided by a deep commitment to women’s health, sacred beginnings, and heart-centered care, Sarah carries forward the foundation that was built while thoughtfully expanding its offerings to meet the evolving needs of families. Drawing from her background in yoga, reiki, and perinatal support, she has cultivated an intimate, nurturing environment where education, connection, and compassionate care come together. What remains unchanged is the heart of the work: holding families with presence, respect, and care through every season of their journey.
I believe the moment of birth, as well as the months leading up to it and immediately following, is one of the most defining moments of our lives. It makes us mothers, fathers but it also shapes our relationships with our children and makes them who they are. I thrive to help couples to embrace their journeys with all they come with, to truly experience them and to celebrate them in all their diversity. In the last year, I have also shifted my energy to creating a sustainable practice of postpartum support with higher and better quality services. This includes networking and connecting with many local professional providers, creating a large supportive network of both professional and client communities within Whole Mother Village.
