I’m A., a certified full-spectrum doula and your guide as you navigate the incredible journey of bringing new life into the world.

My journey into doula work was sparked by a profound desire to offer compassionate care and guidance during the birthing process. I’m here to be your companion and advocate, providing a sense of strength and calmness as you navigate this transformative experience. I believe that everyone giving birth should receive the support they deserve. I’m especially passionate about addressing the disparities in perinatal care, working towards creating a more equitable and inclusive birthing environment.

When I embark on this journey with families, I use my heart and hands to be a source of unwavering support. I am a continuous presence from the moment we decide to work together, providing emotional support and evidence based information on childbirth, postpartum, and feeding your baby. During labor, I lean on acupressure, massage, and movement as coping techniques to help you feel comfortable. As you transition into the 4th trimester, I am here to assist you in navigating the joys and challenges of early parenthood. Together, we can create a partnership based on trust, respect, and personalized care.

I weave together my passion for travel and the amazing realm of childbirth. Having lived in diverse locales, including the electric cityscape of Shanghai, China, I bring a wealth of worldly experience to my doula practice. My linguistic journey mirrors my global exploration, encompassing beginner-level Mandarin and a growing proficiency in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and the beautiful cadence of my almost mother tongue, Haitian Creole.

When I’m not doulaing, you’ll find me exploring the world, showering affection on random dogs, crafting heartfelt poems, or nurturing new plant cuttings! I’m looking forward to getting to know you and hopefully joining you on the wild ride that is birth!

Testimonials
Working with A. has been a great experience and I highly recommend her as a Doula!
As a new parent I was so grateful for all the support I could get. There are an abundance of things to figure out and I couldn’t have done it alone. Becoming a mom is hard especially in the first couple of weeks. It’s not just learning how to take care of the baby but also how to settle into the new role as a mom.
A. was super supportive during that time and I appreciate how reliable and flexible she was. She helped me with household chores, always had practical tips for my little one and her massages helped me so much to relax.
If you’re looking for a Doula, I absolutely recommend A.! She is a wonderful listener, kind and compassionate
Stephanie & George, September 2023
“Hi Stephanie,

Birth was definitely an experience! We had some complicated moments and a couple of interventions. Thankfully all went well in the end, and I was able to push her out just like I had dreamed of. A. was beyond amazing! I couldn’t have done it without her and I am super happy she was there to offer support mentally and physically. She really outdid herself and I couldn’t thank her enough. Closer to the end of labor, she was giving me foot messages that I swear are what made me ready to push in no time whatsoever. All of her tips and tricks made the entire labor more comfortable for me, and I would even say it offered me a huge distraction from what I was actually going through.

I’m forever thankful for your prompt response and for recommending A. She will definitely be highly recommended if I know someone who’s expecting. Or who knows if I decide to do it all over again, I would definitely love to have her again.

Thank you,

Kelly”
