Hi! I’m Rachel (she/they). Although I have been a witness and sometimes an active participant in births since a very young age, I’ve been working as a trained birth and postpartum doula since June 2018 and have supported 250+ families throughout the NYC area. I am a certified lactation support counselor, integrative lactation and baby feeding specialist, a trained lactation educator, doula mentor, placenta specialist and currently obtaining clinical hours at Jamaica Hospital to become an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). My philosophy is simple - there is no wrong way to birth as long as your choices and decisions through the journey are being heard and respected. In working together, I hope to co-create the vision for how you would like to feel during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum; helping you move through this time building confidence in your ability to decide what feels right for you. My style is rooted in mindfulness; working with the tools we already have to help us stay grounded and present in the moment. I have been a Brooklyn resident since 2004 and live one block away from Prospect Park with my child, Simone, and dogs, Elfie and Gyda. I have a BFA in Studio Art from Hunter, own a recurve bow, have a depth of knowledge in native new york plants and study herbalism. I am a LGBTQIA2S+ friendly doula - gender affirming care matters to me!

My name is Nastaran (or Nast for short). I was born in the Dominican Republic, grew up in Boston, and now reside in New Jersey. Hubby and I are gym owners. Our gym is unique because not only do we do individualized programming to help clients get out of pain and achieve their goals, but we also collaborate with many local practitioners. I'm also a trainer, doula and birth educator. I founded Birthing Strong because I was tired of the trauma, grieving, and regret my family, friends and clients were experiencing at the births of their children. Birthing Strong was born to help educate, encourage and empower mamas through birth education courses and fitness classes that involve actual rehabilitation, cardio, and strength and conditioning. It aims to take the BS out of birthing and help moms move safely and confidently in fitness and in life. When I'm not coaching in a gym or teaching a workshop at a studio, I'm outside coaching adults and youth alike on running/track and field! I enjoy a day at the beach and absolutely love food (and think it should be a love language) and our family has rescued a lot of cats and one dog...We just can't say no to helping animals! If you're in pain or discomfort or you're just not sure where to start or what to do, please reach out if I can be of service. If I don't have the answer, I'm happy to be able to point you in the direction of someone who does!

Hi, I am certified postpartum/birth doula and certified breast feeding specialist located in Brooklyn, NYC. I serve Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. Birth and postpartum can be enjoyed once you have the support and education that you need.

When I am not working I enjoy cycling, cooking (trying new recipes) spending time with my family traveling and reading. As a way to give back to the community I offer my doula services at a free and low cost to qualifying persons.

I am a certified birth doula and a postpartum doula based out of Brooklyn. I'm passionate about providing my clients safe, respectful, loving, and equitable care throughout their journey to meeting their new baby. I am here to offer a sense of stability and comfort as I support you through your unique experience whether that's in a hospital setting, birth center, or the comfort of your home.

I believe it is every person's right to have an empowered and gentle birth experience and I am here to protect and cultivate that space for you.

I was lead to birthwork through my unwavering belief that we have ourselves and each other in order to create a better world. Each of us contains a unique set of skills and knowledge that allows us to rely on each other, to keep each other safe, and to come home to. Being a doula is serving my part in this world I hope we can continue to build together. I believe pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are incredibly special times in a person’s life, and what an honor it is to be accepted into one’s unique experience of having a baby. A mother and parent’s responsibility is to care for and to teach their baby, but often those very needs are not provided for them when they need it most. My goal as your doula is to center the autonomy, intution, and voice of the mother and to work in tandem with her needs. My doula philosophy is if I can center mom and her wellbeing, she will be able to best support her baby. Gracias por la luz, or “thank you for the light”, is borne from the strong and grounded, yet gentle nature of my maternal grandmother, Luz. The name comes from the light we all have within to do good onto others and emphasizes how my practice is grounded in gratitude for all families I am lucky enough to work and share space with.

I am a certified postpartum doula, lactation counselor, mother, and designer. I was born in NYC and grew up between Brooklyn and Honolulu, where my parents met. Surrounded by natural beauty in Hawaii, I became really interested in plants and studied the ways they're used as natural medicine in indigenous cultures. I dove further into holistic wellness and lived in an ashram in India, where I obtained my yoga teaching certification. It became clear to me that one can be healed by connecting the mind and body with nature. I love to create nourishing meals that incorporate healing herbs to nurture the body into a balanced state of well-being. After I birthed my son, I really understood the challenges in postpartum and importance of supporting and honoring new parents in their special journey. I feel empowered to help postpartum families through one of the biggest transitions of their lives, to make them feel supported and provide resources in areas where they may feel uninformed. I currently reside in Ridgewood, NY and enjoy yoga, cooking, dancing, and tending my medicinal herb garden.
