About me
I am a mother to a 5 year old and have loved children since I was a child myself. I have always been someone who enjoys helping people. I started on the path towards nursing, earning my Associate’s degree in Fall of 2022. After mostly completing my degree in summer of 2022, I realized my personality wouldn't shine in nursing. I am more empathetic and personable, which lead me to becoming a doula. I started with birth doula in August and it opened my eyes to my passion for birthwork. Shortly after, I took the postpartum doula workshop. That led me to also taking infant CPR, and earning a certified lactation support counselor as well. I am looking forward to sitting for the Lamaze CBE exam Fall of 2023. I have worked with families both prior to these certifications and currently and I can’t wait to explore and learn more

Service introduction
My duties include helping as much (or as little) as my clients desire. I can feed, bath, clothe, and entertain babies of all ages. I also enjoy cooking and don’t mind handling light housework tasks. I enjoy meeting new families from different backgrounds as well as exploring while driving through the tri state area to my clients. I am looking forward to supporting families in any capacity!

Ratings and reviews
Antasia was a wonderful and supportive doula. She met with us at our home before I gave birth, talked through our birth plan, and supported us in the final days as we navigated doctors suggesting induction. In the delivery room, Antasia was a calming, steady, supportive presence. She followed my lead and helped me get through difficult stages of labor. After my baby was born, she stayed with me as I dealt with a difficult placental delivery, and my partner stayed with my baby. She supported us in lactation in the first days, and came to visit at home a few days later to make sure we were settling in. Highly recommend hiring Antasia!

Antasia worked with us as after the birth of our second child and brought peace to our home in the very early postpartum days. She was always very flexible, communicative and compassionate, and she operated with tremendous professionalism. In our most vulnerable newborn state, everyone in our family (even our dog!) felt supported by Antasia and this is a gift I can't express enough gratitude for.
