Services: Birth Doula, Reiki Master, Pre & Post Natal Yoga Instructor, Parental Mentor Hello! My name is Josie Hart. I am a Certified Birth Doula, serving families in the Greater Capital Region of Upstate New York. I'm a mother of five, grandmother to one, and love what I do! I am passionate about helping pregnant people feel safe and empowered to make informed decisions regarding their bodies and their births. I believe every birthing person should have the autonomy to birth in their way and in their power. I am also a Reiki Master trained in Usui/Holy Fire® and Karuna Reiki® and certified to teach prenatal and postnatal yoga. I am grateful for the ability to teach as well as add Reiki energy healing, for those who would like, as a way to assist during pregnancy, labor and postpartum. When not supporting birth or working with Reiki, I enjoy my yoga practice, hiking trails in this beautiful Upstate NY area, or my most favorite pastime, spending time with my children, granddaughter, and extended family at my home. “…how a person is cared for and supported during birth is a major influence, not only in how they give birth but also in how they feel about the birth for years to come.” ~The Birth Partner

Hi! My name is Kayleigh, I’m looking for families who could benefit from affordable overnight newborn care. I’m a mom to a one year old boy, Emerson and he’s the light of my life. Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve always had very strong motherly instincts. As the eldest daughter of 7 siblings, caring for little ones has always been second nature to me. I’m currently working toward becoming a Certified Postpartum Doula, specializing in overnight newborn care. While completing my certification I would love to support you and your family and I would love for you to be apart of my journey along the way! Whether you're welcoming your first, second, or third baby, every postpartum journey is different, and no one should have to navigate it alone. I will provide compassionate, reliable overnight care so parents can rest, recover and wake up knowing their little one has been cared for with love and attention. I come to your home during the night as an extra set of hands so you can rest, recharge, and enjoy greater peace of mind. Whether you're looking for ongoing overnight support, or simply a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. CPR, First Aid, AED certified, in the process of completing DONA certification. I'm excited to continue growing my knowledge and gain hands on experience while supporting families during such a special season of life. I'm available to provide a few hours of support or on-going care, 2-3 nights a week. Families must be within 20 miles of Albany, NY. Thank you for considering me as part of your family's journey. Your support means so much as I work toward becoming a Certified Postpartum Doula. I can't wait to help families feel more rested, supported, and confident during those precious newborn days.

I'm a postpartum doula who truly believes in the power of community during your recovery. I have three kids of my own, and have had a fairly wide range of postpartum experiences, helping me to see how to help people in any stage of recovery, hormones, and sleeplessness.. In addition to trainings with postpartum specifically, I have worked with children in various capacities for over 15 years. This experience with children and their families allows me to anticipate the needs of your family throughout the whole day, rather than just the snapshot I see while we're together. My goal, in addition to in-person support, is to help you build confidence and routines that work even beyond our time together, so that you are always prepared for the phase of parenting you're in. I am always rooting for you!

Motherhood changes everything. You deserve support that honors your body, your intuition, and the woman who you’re becoming. It is my belief that you hold within you the ability to be all that your child needs. It is my passion to help you reveil the blockages, release the fears, and uncover the innate wisdom your body holds. My vision is to bridge the gap between logistical preparation and emotional growth, offering an elevated standard of care for the modern mother. ​ The medicalized birth and conception industries leaves much to be desired in the realm of true connection, optimized health, and transparency. Women are continuously robbed of vital information that helps them to make informed choices, which is a travesty. I work with women to explore all of their options for fertility, birth, and beyond-supporting them through whatever path they choose to take. ​And yes, I will absolutely support your free birth.

As a Registered Nurse with extensive birthing center, neonatal ICU (NICU), and postpartum experience- I understand that breastfeeding doesn’t always come naturally-and that’s okay. Having worked in hospitals for over 15 years-I can help you navigate your breastfeeding journey from pregnancy to postpartum and up to the 1st year of life. I have worked at Vassar Medical Center and Northern Dutchess most recently but also have experience working in other cities and countries where breastfeeding was highly valued. I am also a Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher, and love animals. I enjoy living upstate and truly believe in a holistic approach to care but also have the medical background to support the needs of more complex families and dyads.

I am committed to helping you achieve a safe, informed, and empowering birth experience on your terms I look forward to getting to know you, your family, and understanding your values surrounding your pregnancy and birth so that I can be a strong asset and advocate for you- I want your birth experience to be everything you may hope, pray, and dream of!

I am a trained birth and postpartum doula and lactation educator (CAPPA) providing care in the New York capital region from Albany to Glens Falls. As a Registered Dietitian I enjoy utilizing my nutrition background to help clients navigate the demanding physical and emotional demands of pregnancy and postpartum. I offer comprehensive birth and postpartum support, including overnight care to prioritize rest for new parents. I also incorporate my knowledge of perinatal nutrition to facilitate a nourishing pregnancy and postpartum recovery. My philosophy around birth and nutrition stem from the same principle; that our bodies and intuition are stronger than we often realize. I embrace an intuitive eating approach which relies on tuning inward and building trust with the body. These same skills can be employed when preparing for birth. I believe that you are the expert of your own body, and I am here to be a trusted source of evidence-based information and emotional support as you navigate pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.

Hello Im Dayle and I am a post partum doula and night nurse from Toronto, Canada. As a creative, energetic, stable and thoughtful person who loves kids, I enjoy caregiving and find it natural. I love to engage childrens imagination through play, nature, baking, libraries, gardening etc . I have years of experience nannying for folks working in the film industry in Los Angeles, Topanga, Malibu, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Toronto forming genuine bonds with families that last.

I am a L&D and mother/baby nurse (LDRP) with 10+ years experience who wanted care for clients outside of the hospital after seeing the need in my local area. I have been doing postpartum doula work since January 2024, and have started taking on childbirth ed and labor clients as well. I also have a team of other birth center nurses who assist with postpartum care as well. I believe in a healthy relationship with the medical providers, while also advocating for your specific wants and needs. For labor, my experience has been as an RN for 10+ years with both high risk pregnancies, low risk, every intervention known to man, and as natural as Mother Nature made it. I’m certified in inpatient obstetrics and fetal monitoring (RNC-OB, C-EFM).

I am a birth and postpartum doula, and breastfeeding consultant with a deep passion for supporting women and families through the transformative journey of birth and early parenthood. One of my greatest influences as a birth worker has been Ina May Gaskin, whose teachings have deeply shaped the way I view birth and the care I strive to provide. I am inspired by her trust in the wisdom of the female body, her reverence for the natural process of birth, and her belief in the incredible strength of women. I strive to embody these values in my own work, approaching each birth with patience, compassion, and deep respect for the person giving birth. I believe birth is so much more than a medical event. It is a deeply personal, powerful, and life-changing experience that deserves to be honored. My hope is to help every woman feel safe, heard, respected, and empowered as she moves through pregnancy, labor, and birth. I strive to create a calm, nurturing space where families can trust themselves, feel confident in their choices, and welcome their babies in a way that feels right for them. My care extends beyond the birth room. Through postpartum support and breastfeeding consulting, I offer guidance, reassurance, and practical care during the tender transition into parenthood. I believe the weeks and months after birth deserve just as much attention, nourishment, and support as pregnancy and labor. It is my hope that every family I work with feels cared for as they find their rhythm, build confidence, and grow into their new roles. For me, being a doula means holding space for the strength, vulnerability, and beauty of this season of life. It means offering a steady, compassionate presence, honoring each family's unique journey, and reminding women of the wisdom and capability they carry within themselves. It is an honor to walk alongside families during one of life's most meaningful transitions. My greatest hope is that the families I support feel nurtured, empowered, and deeply connected to their own experience of birth and early parenthood.

I live in Rensselaer, NY with my fiancé, son and two cats. In my free time I love to cook, workout, and read. My philosophy is that every parent deserves to be met with unconditional support throughout their reproductive journey. It is my hope to always be able to offer my clients a way to be satisfied with their birth experience, no matter the circumstances. I have a special interest in the relationship between the mind, body, and baby during the process of birth and I often view the nervous system as a tool to tap into this system.

Hi there, my name is Gadria (Gah-dree-ah)! I am a Birth & Postpartum Doula and a Certified Lactation Educator (CLE). I am also proud to be a Social Worker with an LMSW.

Hello families! I am excited to reach out and let you know of my as needed availability as a night nurse. I am currently working at a local hospital with laboring moms as well as supporting moms in the postpartum period. I do work full time typically three days a week with alternating weekends but am happy to support families on my days off as my usual schedule when I am not working is still being awake at night and sleeping during the day. So excited to meet your litte ones and support you during this sensitive and crucial step to healing.

Birth is one of life's most transformative experiences and every family deserves to feel seen, heard and deeply supported throughout the journey. As a doula, I believe that my role is to walk beside you with compassion, evidence-based education and unwavering support. Whether your path includes an unmedicated birth, an epidural, induction, cesarean birth, or unexpected changes along the way, my goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and confident in your choices. I strive to create a calm, judgment-free space where you can trust your intuition, ask questions freely and feel genuinely cared for. Above all, I believe birth is not about achieving a "perfect" experience—it is about feeling safe, respected and empowered. My hope is that long after your baby is born, you look back on your birth knowing you were supported with kindness, dignity and wholehearted care every step of the way. I am taking clients who are due in February and April 2027.
