I cannot say enough good things about Simone as our night doula and lactation consultant. From the moment she entered our home, she brought a sense of calm, compassion, and expertise that made an immediate difference in our postpartum experience. As a second-time mom navigating recovery, sleep deprivation, and feeding challenges, her presence was nothing short of a gift. She supported our entire family with such gentleness and professionalism. Her overnight care allowed us to get desperately needed rest, knowing our baby was in kind, capable hands. Her lactation guidance was equally invaluable. She offered evidence-based support with zero judgment—troubleshooting tummy issues, providing reassurance, and giving practical tools that worked. Thanks to her help, I went from overwhelmed and in pain to confident and empowered. I did not feel a bit of judgment when I chose to go from breastfeeding to formula due to my baby's tummy issues. She listened deeply, responded thoughtfully, and truly respected our parenting values. She didn’t just care for our baby—she cared for us. If you're looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also emotionally attuned and reliable, I wholeheartedly recommend Simone. She’s an absolute gem and a vital part of our early parenting story.

Working with Angelica was such a meaningful part of our birth experience. From our first conversations, she made us feel comfortable, listened carefully to what mattered to us, and helped us prepare with practical tools and thoughtful conversations. She was warm, knowledgeable, reassuring, and genuinely invested in making sure we felt informed and supported. When our birth took an unexpected turn, Angelica’s presence became especially valuable. She helped us understand what was happening, gave us space to process our emotions and ask questions, and reminded us that our voices and choices still mattered. She supported both of us without ever taking over, helping my partner feel confident and involved throughout the experience. What stands out most is how cared for we felt. Angelica brought a wonderful combination of calm, compassion, practical knowledge, and genuine human connection. We felt supported, informed, and held during some of the most important and vulnerable moments of our lives. We’re so grateful she was part of our journey.

Hi! I’m Liz. I’m a Brooklyn-based doula providing birth and postpartum support in the broader NYC area. My doula journey started a year after the birth of our delightful, curious baby. I had been feeling an immense pull toward more local, hands-on work and a desire to help create the world I want our children to live in. Motivated by my birth and postpartum experience, I completed my DONA International Birth Doula Training in 2026. Since then, I have advanced my training through mentorship with Manhattan Birth and NYC Birth Village. Prior to pursuing birthwork, I spent a decade planning and implementing within nonprofits and startups. Understanding, connecting with, and communicating with people has always been the heart of my work. I love the active process of making sense out of messiness and adapting toward what feels right. I am a daughter, sister, partner, and mama. You can often find me climbing, reading, and exploring outside with family and friends. Nature has been one of my greatest teachers — I aim to live with gratitude, awe, and a deep respect for all creatures. My pronouns are she/they. I proudly support parents of all genders.

Absolutely fantastic working with Liz. A real life saver. My partner had an unplanned c-section and I had to return to school to teach when our baby girl arrived. Having Liz fit seamlessly into our lives allowed me to focus on work and give my partner the time she needed to rest or focus on herself, for those few moments during the day. This was invaluable. Outside of that, Liz has a professional and hard working mindset. She is very organzied and communication with her was always easy, open and honest. It allowed me to make requests and work with her to organzie suitable times for all concerned. Along with her spreadsheets of detailed help sessions, Liz was a real pleasure to have in our immediate family in those precious first months. If you are looking for someone to add aue to your new family life, then Liz is the person for you!
