My name is Oldine Cyrius My approach is centered on creating a safe, supportive environment where families feel heard and valued. I believe in the power of positive birth experiences and work to facilitate these through education, advocacy, and hands-on support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. As a mother, I've lived the challenges and joys of parenting, and this informs my empathetic and practical approach to caring for new families. My goal is to help families navigate the journey of childbirth with confidence and joy, knowing that the support they receive can have a lasting impact on their lives. As a doula and midwife for 13 years experiences, I am dedicated to supporting women and families through the journey of childbirth, providing care that is both nurturing and empowering. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that every birth is unique and deserving of respect, and that women should be at the center of their care, making informed decisions about their bodies and their babies. Having experienced motherhood myself, as the mom of a beautiful daughter, I bring a deep understanding of the emotional and physical aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting to my work. This personal experience, combined with my professional training, allows me to offer comprehensive support that addresses the whole family's needs.

Dena is an acupuncturist, herbalist, massage therapist, and doula based in New York City, and has been working in holistic health since 2012. She has experience working with people through their whole conception and parenting journey - those trying to conceive, through their pregnancies, at their births, and through the postpartum period. Before this she worked in childcare for nine years in multiple settings across all ages. She has diverse experience including infants, autism, twins, and behavior challenges. In terms of birth, her priority is to let each person guide their own experience, while offering them the information they need to make informed decisions and to help them navigate some of the complexity of the medical system. It is important to her that clients are given the ability to lead their birth experience and that they feel empowered to hold fast to their plan or change it, based on what feels right to them in the moment. As a massage therapist hands on support is natural for her. She also has some experience with hypnobirthing and spinning babies, but does not force modalities if these don't match a clients vision. With postpartum her goal is to help parents navigate the complexity and intensity of the postpartum period. To help them get the rest they need, to help them navigate the complexities of breast and/or bottle feeding, to figure out what the baby's needs are, etc. She tries to follow the parents' philosophy while helping them find information/practitioners that might help support them further.
