Why Book Consultations Instead of Full Doula Support?

​Maybe you’re doula-curious and not ready to commit, but you still want a pro in your corner to help you sort out your options. Maybe you’ve booked a newer doula you connect with, but you still want the kind of insight that only comes from decades in the trenches.​ No shame in that. Birth is big, and experience matters.​ A consultation lets you tap into decades of know-how without the full-service price tag.​ You keep the support team you’ve chosen and add seasoned​, no-nonsense guidance that helps everything run smoother.

At the start of pregnancy and already feeling like your lifelong GYN isn’t on your wavelength about birth? You’re not alone. If you’re still building your support team, I can point you to midwives, OBs, and doulas in the NYC/Long Island area who match your values. After attending hundreds of births and working alongside the gamut of providers, I’ve seen what happens behind the curtain – the candid hallway chats, the real dynamics – which gives me a unique perspective on who aligns well with the kind of birth you want.

Why Work With Me?

You’re always at the center of our work. I make sure you feel heard and understood so you can walk into your birth knowing your choices carry weight. When your voice is centered, you’re able to collaborate with your medical team with confidence to shape a positive birth experience, whatever direction it takes.

I’m a birth doula and Chinese-Medicine practitioner with decades of experience in the field and a solid background in personal development work. I bring a broad toolkit of body, mind, and spirit-aware support. I don’t do “one-size-fits-all.” I believe birth is personal and sacred, and I meet you with honesty, compassion, and sometimes irreverent humor. So whatever you’re doing – hospital birth, home birth, VBAC, C-section, traditional, unconventional – I’m down with it. Your birth, your body, your baby, your rules.
