Francisca Dungula - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Francisca

For nearly 9 years, I have supported families through all stages of the journey of parenthood with compassionate, evidence-based care. After training as a birth and postpartum doula in Brooklyn, New York, I began working with families throughout New York City, providing emotional support, education, advocacy, and a steady presence during some of life’s most transformative moments. My approach to care is rooted in informed decision-making, respect for autonomy, and creating a space where families feel safe, supported, and empowered. With a background in Human Development and Family Studies and future plans to pursue midwifery, I am passionate about combining nurturing support with current evidence-based practices to help families navigate birth and postpartum with confidence.
