About Meghan

I am a trained birth and postpartum doula and lactation educator (CAPPA) providing care in the New York capital region from Albany to Glens Falls. As a Registered Dietitian I enjoy utilizing my nutrition background to help clients navigate the demanding physical and emotional demands of pregnancy and postpartum. I offer comprehensive birth and postpartum support, including overnight care to prioritize rest for new parents. I also incorporate my knowledge of perinatal nutrition to facilitate a nourishing pregnancy and postpartum recovery. My philosophy around birth and nutrition stem from the same principle; that our bodies and intuition are stronger than we often realize. I embrace an intuitive eating approach which relies on tuning inward and building trust with the body. These same skills can be employed when preparing for birth. I believe that you are the expert of your own body, and I am here to be a trusted source of evidence-based information and emotional support as you navigate pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.

Hiring Meghan and her doula partner, Lawren, was one of the best decisions I made for my first pregnancy & birth. They offered consistent guidance and reassurance, regularly reviewing pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum details, and addressing my numerous questions and anxieties. Meghan's background as a dietician also proved invaluable to me, particularly during pregnancy when I had alot of nutrition-related concerns. She ensured I felt informed and prepared for every situation through the knowledge shared during our meetings, & her calm & peaceful nature always left me feeling less stressed about my pregnancy & upcoming labor. Meghan was a constant presence during my very long & difficult labor. She helped me manage contractions, offered words of encouragement, guided me through various birthing positions, and made sure I ate & had water with electrolytes to stay hydrated. Throughout the entire process, she maintained her calm composure and demonstrated an understanding of my needs, even when I was uncertain. I truly don't know what I would have done without her during labor! The guidance, support, & care she provided was instrumental in my having a successful vaginal delivery!

My husband and I hired Meghan as an overnight doula to help after our son was born. We agreed to 10 nights with her, and was able to have for about 2 nights a week in the first month and 1 night in the second month. While it is always nerve-wracking leaving your child with someone else, Meghan spent so much time helping us feel comfortable. She came over before our son was born to see our home and discuss the plan for the evenings. It was so helpful during the early recovery days to be able to get a better night's sleep, especially with someone like Meghan. She was patient, kind, and extremely nonjudgmental. She was always very responsive if something came up during the day that I had a question about, too. I couldn't recommend Meghan more if you are considering a doula!
