LGBTQ+ Affirming Doulas in Brooklyn, NY

After birthing three children within a time span of five years, I couldn't help but recognize how overwhelming pregnancy, childbirth and parenting in general can be. I also had an unfavorable birthing experience with my first child. I was young, under-supported with financially limited options and felt "under-qualified" to be part of labor and delivery decision making. I simply left everything up to my obstetrician. I was told what to do and what not to do, what to take, where to go and even when to push. I was rarely asked for consent, but rather told what they were doing to me as they decided to do it. It all felt so clinical, as if I was in the hospital due to an illness rather than a healthy, natural event. I felt lonely, helpless and scared for three days straight. Needless to say, the experience left me wondering what could have been done differently and what choices each pregnant mother has to create a more empowered, positive birthing experience. ​ The moment I discovered doula work, it gave me a sense of relief learning that our society has a support system specially geared for the mother to be guided and assisted through this journey. I personally feel that our culture has brainwashed us to believe that childbirth is simply a painful burden to endure. (Cue television and movie clips where the laboring woman is screaming bloody murder and everyone is rushing around her as if there is a scary emergency to be remedied.) However, with the right knowledge and support, there can be such beauty and empowerment that comes with knowing all of your choices and feeling in control while fully trusting that your body has the capability and the strength to do exactly what it's meant to do - create new life and make miracles happen. ​ I am a certified labor doula (CLD) and certified postpartum doula (CPD) through CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association). I actively attend workshops, courses and continuing education classes on childbirth, hypnobirthing, fetal positioning, breastfeeding, postpartum, baby care basics and holding space for pregnancy loss in the Fairfield County, CT area. I am also Certified in Usui Reiki Levels I & II. ​ I am passionate about childbirth and I work incredibly hard to ensure that my clients have a positive and memorable birth experience however they may envision that to look like. My goal is for you to feel informed, respected and for your voice to be heard by your birthing team in your chosen birth environment.

Being a doula isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I come to this work with both heart and hands: deeply compassionate and clinically trained. I believe birth and family-building in all its forms deserve steady, knowledgeable, and nonjudgmental support. Whether I’m offering comfort measures in active labor, explaining medical options in a hospital room, or simply sitting quietly and holding space, my goal is always the same — to help families feel safe, informed, and truly cared for. I trust the wisdom of the body, but I also respect the realities of modern medicine, and I bridge those two worlds with calm confidence. I proudly support all types of families and all paths to parenthood — traditional birth, cesarean birth, adoption, surrogacy, and even palliative and end-of-life journeys surrounding pregnancy and infants. I understand that not every story unfolds the way we hope, and I believe every story still deserves tenderness, dignity, and unwavering advocacy. My philosophy is rooted in inclusivity, respect, and meeting families exactly where they are. Whether welcoming new life or navigating complex emotions, I show up fully — with warmth, clinical understanding, and a deep belief that no one should walk these moments alone
