Bori and Jaye

Jaye and Bori's partnership is a signature elevated care model, built around true continuity and seamless support across pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. At its core is a three-doula team — Jaye McClure for in-person, on the ground support, Bori Laki, as 24/7 virtual support, and a handpicked advanced practice backup doula also as in-person support - working together. Your team is intentionally coordinated throughout our time together offering not just presence, but depth, responsiveness, and a level of care that truly surrounds you.

Bori

Bori, born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, is an advanced practice birth and postpartum doula, as well as a lactation specialist and aromatherapist. She’s been a doula for about 9 years and has been working with Jaye in a partnership model for six years. She had trained with DONA, Whapio the Matrona, completed a midwifery assistant program/training at Ina May Gaskin’s Farm with her midwives, and completed a 3-year Mentorship program at Manhattan Birth with Tanya Wills, CNM.

She is a childbirth educator, a breastfeeding specialist, and loves working with new parents and babies in the early weeks. Bori brings her love of birth, pregnancy, moms, babies and nature into her work, believes in the innate power of women, and loves the miracle of a new family.

Jaye

Jaye attended her first birth while in college and fell under the birth-spell of life-affirming transformation that is the gift of the work of labor, delivery and the childbearing year.  She has learned from her own reproductive journey much of what she shares as a Perinatal Health Educator.  She lives in South Slope, Brooklyn with her  husband Spike. She has received education and training in  The Manhattan Birth Masters Program where she has trained as an Advanced Holistic, Hospital and Postpartum Doula with The Matrona and as an Integrated Lactation and Feeding Specialist.  Additionally, Jaye is a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor with certifications in CPR, and NRP. Jaye particularly loves the wonder weeks of the 4th trimester, supporting, negotiating and reinforcing with confidence, the overnights and first weeks of newborn care in the ever changing landscape of growing outside of the womb and into your lives as newborn parents.

  • "Bori and Jaye were there for me during a difficult high-risk pregnancy and a 48-hour labor and c-section delivery. Bori was by my side during the entire time asking nurses questions and offering pain-relieving and coping solutions such as heating blankets, breathing techniques and position changes. They were kind, gentle, listened to me and encouraged me to listen to my body and to my baby too. I felt more informed and empowered to trust my instincts. It was also helpful to know that I could always follow up with questions and have the support I needed given their wealth of information, tools, and professional network. They helped me and my husband how to swaddle, understand the baby's different cues, shortcuts for storing the breast pump easily, etc. Hiring them was the best decision and we were much better off for having them on our team. Thank you for everything!"

  • "Jaye and Bori were great with getting me prepped for my birth. Since I was pregnant during COVID, I did not have much of a support network to rely on, and doing everything virtual had limits. It was great that they were able to meet in person to go over things with us, and become familiar with what to expect. Many thanks for the many replies to my late-night texts to ensure I wasn’t dealing with anything serious! This gave me tremendous peace of mind. Unfortunately since I ended up getting induced and getting a c-section, my birth plan wasn’t able to be carried out the way I would have wanted, but the massage and exercises were the most helpful while we were still prepping for active labor. The lavender sachets were very helpful for my nausea! We would have been completely lost without their support!"

    Celeste and Steve

  • "Thank you so much for the both of you. I can't imagine how we would have gotten through this without you two. Your patience, serenity and positive energy made this experience so much more graceful than I ever could have imagined and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you for taking such good care of my wife and son."

    Chris, Natasha and Miles

  • I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support Bori & Jaye provided to my husband and me during my birth and postpartum journey. They made us feel at ease, took the time to get to know us, and were truly caring. Throughout the entire process, they truly listened to my needs and helped me advocate for what was best for me. I owe my positive birth experience to them—their presence gave me confidence and comfort, knowing I had compassionate advocates by my side. Postpartum, they were nothing short of lifesavers. They offered invaluable emotional support and shared many tips and tricks, which were incredibly helpful for first time parents and allowed me to rest at night while taking care of my baby. Their kindness, patience, and expertise made all the difference. I can’t recommend them enough. I will forever hold a special place for them in my heart.
