  • Offering postpartum doula services daytime and overnights
I am a DONA-trained postpartum doula servicing Manhattan and Brooklyn, with a passion for supporting families during the transformative postpartum period. I am infant CPR, and first-aid certified. My mission is to provide guidance, care, and reassurance as you navigate the joys and challenges that come with welcoming a new member into your family. I started carting for young children and infants in 2010. Throughout the years, I have worked with first-time families, families with multiples, and newborns born with differences. I began my professional career in education as an elementary school teacher. Through my time, I began to realize that my passion lies within newborns, new parents, and perinatal mental health. As I transition out of classroom teaching, I have shifted my focus to mental health and postpartum support. I hope to share my passion with new families while educating, supporting, and caring for them in one of the greatest times of need. I am so looking forward to connecting.
Testimonials
“I had M. and two other doulas help out after my 2nd baby. They did various shifts throughout the day and evenings. M. was fantastic. Like having someone who is a combination of a good friend and professional support. I was always very comfortable when she took care of our daughter. Given the nature of having 3 children she was very flexible in whatever help they needed.
M. is very non-judgemental and helped us in every way. Due to her support I was able to spend time with my newborn and my husband could take care of our older kids. I am so grateful I was able to have so much help after birth this time!”
Kristina
“M. came highly recommended by our doula. I didn’t have any family come help so M. came in for several visits and truly did everything! She made me meals, brought water and tea, made snacks, did baby laundry, organized all my baby stuff and things I needed for post partum- knew what I needed before I knew it. Thanks to her help I was able to transition well into motherhood and knew how to feel empowered about taking care of my baby myself. What I loved as well is that she prepared me for my pediatrician appointments- I was always very well prepared when we went to see the pediatrician which gave me piece of mind.”

” I hired M. after my 2nd birth. She is just amazing- such a ray of sunshine and aura of calm! She is studying therapy, hence she is very non-judgmental and very supportive on all topics. Some people can just get babies relaxed and M. is one of them. I felt I was in the best hands with her and highly recommend her!”
Rebecca
“M. was IMMENSELY helpful after the birth of my second daughter.  My second daughter was born just 22 months after my first, so I had 2 kids under 2 for the first few months.  I also had a second c-section so I had limited ability to lift and significant pain for the first few weeks.  And, my first daughter understandably still needed a lot of attention while my second daughter only liked to sleep while being held, which posed a significant challenge.  M. is a calm, caring, and kind person who somehow knew just the right thing to do or say in that environment.  M. would lovingly hold the newborn daughter so that she would sleep – for hours on end, it seemed – and would compassionately listen to me vent about the many challenges of having 2 young children, trying to work at the same time, and trying to physically get back to a comfortable space.  If there was ever any downtime, M. would fold laundry, do dishes, play with my older daughter, and just generally make everyone’s lives better!  To be honest, I wish M. could have just moved in with us for the duration as she made every hour she was there SO much easier and more pleasant.  Our first few months with 2 kids under 2 were not easy, but they were manageable BECAUSE we had M. helping us.”
